1111 Words - 5 Pages.... believe Antigone should be admired and worthy to be honored because she did not deny her actions of burying her brother when she knew that the law said not to.
We ran and took her at once. She was not afraid,
Not even when we charged her with what she had done.
She denied nothing.
Creon. And you, Antigone,

442 Words - 2 Pages.... is, "Seems, madam! Nay, it is; I know not "seems.". Hamlet is here comparing reality vs appearance. The rest of the play revolves around the idea of how things appear and how they are in reality. Laertes on the other hand, I believe, is the character in the play that is meant to bring out Hamlet’s ‘evil’ qualities and present Hamlet as the villain. The sentence, "The virtues of his will; but you must fear, His greatness weigh’d, his will is not his own, For he himself is subject to his birth.", is an important one in contributing to Laertes’ character. He is saying to Ophelia that to be careful of Hamlet, because ‘he’s royalty, ....

Sarah Canary
596 Words - 3 Pages.... Near the middle of the story it is evident how Lilian feels about the social class system. She compares the party to the social class, and how the rich people are on one side and the poorer people are on the opposite side. Heker does not like the social class system and she doesn’t want the reader to like it either. This story shows how the people in the story are the same, but still separated by one big gap and that is class status. The first hint to that was when the girl with the bow talked to Rosaura. “I and Luciana do our homework together,” said Rosaura very seriously. “That is not being friends,” the bow headed girl said (614). ....

The Abstract Wild
3478 Words - 13 Pages.... was extremely different- he had removed the wild connection with the ancient mural
and himself by publicizing and talking about them. This is Turner’s main point within the first
chapter. He believes that when we take a wild place and photograph it, talk about it, advertise it,
make maps of it, and place it in a national park that we ruin the magic, the aura, and the wildness
of that place. Nature magazines, photographs, and films all contribute to the removal of our wild
experience with nature. It is the difference between visiting the Grand Canyon after you have
seen it on TV and read about it in magazines, or never having heard of the place and stumblin ....

Her family didn't feel anything she didn't feel. If she felt fear, the family did too. "Since old Tom and the children could not know hurt or fear unless she acknowledged hurt and fear, she had practiced denying them in herself." She always kept calm in front of the family because she knew if she showed fear, she would lose control of th ....
