The-sort-of-economic Constitut
453 Words - 2 Pages.... essentially an economic document and that it was written and ratified by economic groups for economic reasons. Beard's idea was not taken lightly, and for a period of time in the early 1900's, his economic theory was believed to be the one and only correct theory. It was believed that nonbelievers were either professional patriots or just naive academicians. Beard explained that the framers of the Constitution had been members of the upper class of society, and that economics were a large part of the Constitution because they would have a direct, positive effect on the framers themselves. However, Henry Steele Commager argued that theory with a theory of his own. Comma ....

In Act IV, Henry Higgins also got a little of his own back when he was sarcastic to Eliza. He used the phrase "You may take the whole damned houseful if you like. Will that satisfy you?". Henry Higgins said this to Eliza when Eliza asked him what she might take if she wanted leave. She said that she did not want to be accused of stealing.
But Henry Higgins was very sarcastic, making Eliza appear calculating as she wanted to make sure of what she could take along with her. He was just trying to make her feel ....

Great Gatsby Essay
371 Words - 2 Pages.... didn’t feel that way. She used to love him, but not anymore.
Also, if Gatsby and Daisy met under other circumstances, such
as each of them having no money and Daisy not being married, their
relationship may have worked out. But because of the circumstances,
their relationship was doomed to fail.
Of all of the relationships, I think that the most honest was
between Nick Carraway and Jordan Baker. This is ironic because it
was Jordan’s compulsive dishonesty that ruined the relationship. They
weren’t secretly seeing each other behind other people’s backs, they
weren’t unfaithful to each other, and they both cared for each other.
Nick saw Jordan’s ....

King Lear

He displays inadequacies as a father through lack of knowledge concerning the true characters of all his daughters, and as King through the sudden dividing of his land. Lear loses his sanity when he cannot cope with the insensitive treatment from his two elder daughters.

When he does regain sanity, he is a much wiser and enhanced man, father and king.
Kent, one of Lear’s followers, is the first person to directly tell the King that he ....

By that, Aristotle means that the spectators feel for the characters onstage, and in doing so, undergoes a so-called "cleansing of the soul." Though the concept of katharsis is increasingly important in the play, there are six specific elements that make up a tragedy; without them, there would be no play and no katharsis. Of the six, which include plot, character, thought, diction, song, and spectacle, the first two are the most important.
The most important aspect of tragedy is the plot, which is consider ....

Cry, The Beloved Country
1221 Words - 5 Pages.... valleys are those low
and suffering times. Next, you will take a journey to a place called
Johannesburg. While reading the pages, begin to envision Johannesburg
being a polluted, very unkind, and rushed city. The setting is more of
a emotional setting than a physical setting. As I stated it takes
place in South Africa, 1946. This is a time where racial
discrimination is at an all time high. The black community of this
land is trying to break free from the white people, but having little
success. It is this so called racism that is essential to the setting
of the story. Without it, the book would not have as much of an impact
as it does. ....
