.... ¡°thoughtless jock,¡± but that stereotype is proven wrong through Antony¡¯s speech at the Forum. Antony thoroughly displays his insight into human nature by manipulating the crowd with his skillful use of language. Antony, in contrast to Brutus, knows that the crowd is incapable of acting reasonably, and he relies specifically on that very inability as he manipulates their emotions, concentrating increasingly on their mounting passion. In the beginning, Antony was barely heard for the crowd was cheering so loud in appreciation of Brutus. Antony realizes that Brutus has the upperhand during the specific time phase, so he begins humbly, acknowledging that he .....

.... unnatural causes for the illness among the children. Furthermore, he firmly believes in the existence of “vengeful spirits layin’ hands on these children”(15). “There is a murderous witch among us,” he vehemently cries out(16). His action isn’t surprising because he has lost seven newborns and his Ruth is sick. He wants to hunt down the witch, but he needs some aid. He lays his eyes on Parris because Parris is the minister and Betty is also ill. Thus, Putnam tries to coerce Parris to witchcraft. “Declare it yourself,” Putnam tells Parris, “you have discovered witchcraft”(16). At this point, Putnam .....

.... As Mrs. Bennet says, "If I can see one of my daughters happily settled at Netherfield…and the others equally married, I shall have nothing to wish for." One easily realizes how obsessed Mrs. Bennet is with having rich son-in-laws. All that matters to her is having her daughters married to wealthy men. This one concern was not scarce in the era. The second of the three reasons is convenience. Charlotte Lucas says it best: "I only ask a comfortable home; and considering Mr. Collins character, connections, and situation in life, I am convinced that my chance of happiness with him is as fair as most people can boast…" Collins isn't wealthy, but all that Charlo .....

.... Company. He had worked for the same company for thirty-four years. Willy’s last name is a pun on the word low-man which is symbolic of the kind of person he is and the things he has accomplished. He has nothing and owns nothing and he would be considered a low man in the world status. Willy develops a maxim that states the most important thing in the world is to be well liked. Willy is not well liked so he often lies to his family telling them that he is very important to the New England area. He also pushes his kids very hard to be well liked so he can live vicariously through them. 3. Biff Loman his Willy’s oldest son. Biff is thirty-four years o .....

.... to a specific historical tradition which is called the Deuteronomic history. The author of , was in exile in Babylonia. While in exile he was deeply concerned with foreign domination. So he wrote many of his stories on the migration of the tribe of Dan to the North and the sins of the Benjamites. The author emphasized that Israel was being influenced by foreign powers and the loss of freedom and prosperity. Recurring throughout the book is the stereotyped formula: “The people of Israel did what was evil in the sight of the lord.” Then after each period or subjection the author introduces another formula: “ But when the people of Israel c .....

.... warfare. Differing in one minor way: "there is little or no protest against football." War on the other hand is considered a malitious bloodbath. Can you spot the difference between the two? I couldn't at first, but then I had the chance to read Beowulf and that passage changed my mind. The only way the people in Beowulf's story could get into heaven was by earning fame. They needed to prove themselves strong, immortal, and have a song made about them to prover that they are, in fact, worthy of a spot in heaven. "And Beowulf uttered his final boast: 'I've never known fear, as a youth I fought in endless battles. I am old, now, but I will fight .....

.... Not one kind word was uttered between the two. Their love was never to be realized though, until they both fell victim to underhanded plots devised by their friends. Their odd road to romance was an aspect of the play that was very pertinent to the plot and indeed something that would keep the reader’s attention. The notion that Beatrice was not fond of Benedick was conveyed very early in the first act. As news of the arrival of Benedick and company to Messina was announced, Beatrice immediately started to poke fun at him. She inquired as to who he had become friendly with and then began to say she knew Benedick to be fickle and have a new sw .....

.... a different value out of each story. With Mark Twain's The Adventure of Huckleberry Finn it showed me that one does not have to be civilized or conform to the ideas of society to become cultured or mature. With Huck Finn he ran away from everything that was considered civilized. He had nothing and really did not want anything. But at the same time he experienced and matured living dangerously. This made me value Huck's adventure and take it as my own. Huck proves his maturity when he comments on how the king and duke dupe the villagers into believing that they are the dead man's brothers, and Huck says, "I never see anything so disgusting."(Twain 163) E .....
