.... devil! Conscience and grace, to the profoundest pit! I dare damnation. To this point I stand, that both the worlds I give to negligence, let come what comes; only I'll be reveng'd most thoroughly for my father." (4,5,131) This quote provides insight into Laertes' mind displaying his desire for revenge at any cost. In contrast to Laertes' speculation of his father's killer, Hamlet presumes the person spying on his conversation with his mother is Claudius. After Hamlet kills Polonius the Queen says "Oh me, what hast thou done?" (3,4,24). Hamlet responds "Nay, I know not. Is it the King?" (3,4,25) Sudden anger prompts both Hamlet and Laertes to act spontaneously, giving ....

.... ways that some people were raised and their environment are the direct cause to why they may be the way they are. “Aunt Rosana’s Rocker” by Nicholasa Mohr presents a story where it discusses the lives of a married couple and how they are struggling with issues that involve not only the marriage, but themselves. In a way, it does not directly talk about the different roles they play, but it can be seen and understood through the events that take place and through the way the characters act. Castro, who is one of the main characters of the story is married to Zoraida. Zoraida’s husband, Castro, is the head of the family and is the one who is ....

.... be killed for disobeying his order. Polonieces is Antigone's brother. He is being punished because he attacked Thebes and betrayed Creon and the people of Thebes. Creon's harsh punishment on those who disobey the law makes many fear him and dare not to go against him. One example is Ismene's regard for Creon's laws. She tries to talk her sister out of burying her brother because of what could happen to her if Creon found out that she went against him. Ismene says "We must obey them.....I yield to those who have authority"(5). Not only do the people of Thebes obey the laws of the city because of their fear but because it is a shame to dishonor the king. To go against ....

.... ready for his other date while Holden watched him. "Stradlater was a secret slob" in public he always looked good and got all the girls but in fact he was a slob. His razor that made him look so good was "rusty as hell and full on lather and hair and crap." This proves that he is a slob to "never clean it or anything." If you think about it that's even worst than Old Ackley. At least Ackley knew that he had a problem, that he need to do something about his face; but Stradlater thought that he was a great guy. He actually thought that there was nothing wrong with never washing his razor. I think that what mad, Holden so made Stradlater was perpetrating in other word bein ....

.... is physically “strong as a bull”(22), according to George, but mentally is a weak as George is physically. Together, as they travel from place to place looking for their chance at making their dream a reality, they use each other’s strong points to help them complete the task. Without one another the two characters would have absolutely no chance at success, for what one is lacking the other has an ample amount of. George and Lennie are the perfect example of how opposites attract. The two of them have spent the majority of their adult lives together and know each other better than they know anybody else in the entire world. They share their hard times and the goo ....

.... for him. When he found them at the creek, he had the leather mule straps; he started to beat Troy. Troy was naturally scared so he ran away. He looked back at his father and realized that his father didn’t care about beating him, he just wanted the girl. Troy came back; he ripped the straps out of his father’s hand.

The god sent a crow to the aquatic world, to bring back water, there the crow discovered a fig tree, whose fruits were not ripe yet, so he waited near the tree to eat ripe figs instead of accomplishing his task he was punished for his disobedience and egotism; Apollo placed him in the constellations, but the hydra prevented him from drinking from the cup ; he is condemned to thirst.(ASCAR American Society for Crows and Raven) In the Bible, the crow is sent by Noah to search earth for signs of life after the flood, But the crow never came back to tell Noah what he found, so he is considered selfish.
