.... encumbrance at all cost to ensure leadership. Hence, not all leaders are virtuous. Hamlet's virtues subdue his resolve to lead. Granted the opportunity, the play establishes the three following reasons Hamlet can not lead a country: a sheltered life, the deep love for his parents and an overpowering encountering with the supernatural. The play shows no intimation of Hamlet either waiting or longing to be king. By all accounts he appears content as Prince. Likewise, one can venture his childhood balanced and happy. Hamlet laments the skull of Yorick, "Alas, poor / Yorick! I knew him, Horatio--a fellow of infinite / jest, of most excellent fancy. .....

.... monkey and what the party represents compared to society are used in “The Stolen Party.” 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.

The first hint to that was when the girl with the bow talked to Rosaura. “I and Luciana do our homework toge .....

.... of boys. Another likeness is the women and their sheer physical presence. “In Everything Rises Must Converge” Julian’s mother walks on the bus and immediately begins to control the conversation. People seem to feed off her commentaries. These commentaries are usually on the basis of racism. As she states when she notices that there are no black people on the bus, “I see we have the bus to ourselves.”(p.344) Mrs. Turpin is almost the exact same way as Julian’s mother. The only difference between the two is that Mrs. Turpin was waiting in a doctor’s office. She too seems like she is the one who is in command of the conversation. The same holds true for the .....
