<view this essay>.... were not treated quite as well. They were checked for lice as they entered the boat through a small door on the lower deck. It was no coincidence that the poor people’s quarters were below the rich people’s. The director of the movie created large, elegant suites for the rich. These rooms were filled with beautiful pictures on the well-papered walls, beautiful carpet, extravagant furniture, and windows with blinds and drapes. The rooms the poor stayed in were very small rooms with no pictures on the gray wall and no furniture except a bunk bed, of which whomever slept on top had to be careful to not bump his head on the ceiling. The poor weren’t even sure w .....

A Comparison Of Tragedy In English Works
<view this essay>.... Caesar focuses on Caesar, the
play itself is really based on Brutus. "Brutus had rather be a villager than to
repute himself a son of Rome."(Act I, scene II, line 172). This was said by
Brutus after Cassius told him how Caesar had become a towering figure over Rome
and how Caesar controls Rome. Notice the good in Brutus, and the extremes he
will go to in order to protect democracy in Rome even if it means killing the
one he loves, Caesar. Brutus possesses one of the most tragic flaws. He is too

Television Censorship
<view this essay>.... basic social institutions: the family, the church, and the

CENSORSHIP OF OBSCENITY
"The beginning of a new legal approach may be traced to the action of the
federal courts in the 1930s, when they held that Irish author James Joyce's

Julius Caesar: Brutus
<view this essay>.... cared very much for him. She was willing to slice her thigh open just
to prove her loyalty and trustworthiness to her noble husband. He also

“Lucius a bowl of wine!
I did not think you could have been so angry,
O Cassius, I am sick of many griefs. .....

<view this essay>.... this scene many parts would be difficult for other outside cultures to understand. The first part was when leaped from the basketball rim onto the hood of her parents car.

Race And Othello
<view this essay>.... the play. What this really means is that Othello is being judged by his skin color rather than the person under the skin.
There are many references in the play to indicate that Othello was dark colored. The first image we, as a reader, are given of Othello is that of a black ram having sexual relations with Desdemona. Iago’s line reads “Even now, now, very now, an old black ram is tupping your white ewe” (1.1.88-90). Later on in the play, there are many other references to Othello's color and race. Desdemona's father, Brabantio, is appalled to learn that his daughter is having a relationship with a “sooty bosom” (2.3.27). Emilia refers to Othello as a black de .....

intended for them to represent the typi .....
