His purpose is strengthened by the arrival of the French ambassadors who bring a reply from the Dauphin to Henry's demand for "certain dukedoms (in France) in the right of his great predecessor," King Edward the third", an insolent message that he "cannot revel into dukedoms there." In place of these territories, he receives an insulting gift of tennis balls. The angry King retorts that he will turn the Dauphin's tennis balls to gun-stones.

Imagery In Macbeth
<view this essay>.... is and the disguises he assumes to conceal the fact. Secondly, I think that in the play honours are thought of as garments to be worn; likewise, Macbeth is constantly represented symbolically as the wearer of robes not belonging to him.

Therefore, Macbeth is uncomfortable in them because he is continually conscious of the fact that they do not belong to him. In the following passage, the idea constantly recurs that Macbeth’s new honours sit ill upon him, like a loose and badly fitting garment, belonging to someo .....

everything is work. No radios are allowed inside of Wellton, and the rules
are strict. Not to mention the fact that the Dean of students is evilly
cruel, and willing to deal out a severe beating or expulsion to anyone who
disobeys him. While at Devon the Dean of students isn't said to be as evil
as the dean of Hellton. At Devon the course of study is not as rigorou .....

<view this essay>.... with nowadays. As I continued surfing I came across
Sally Struthers trying to sell an "earn your college degree at home" commercial,
honestly, how good can that kind of degree be? Then as I kept flipping, I came

offering a "free psychic reading to first time callers" all that was required
was that a certain 1-800 number be dialed and a person could get a reading.
Then to show that the reading was accurate, they had people come on and say that
their experience with the psychic was "life changing," and that "it was so real…
the psychic knew everything." It is amazing what people will fal .....

"Rage"
<view this essay>.... is caused by the little things,
like when I have a hang nail or a cut in my mouth. The pain is
excruciating, But I can't reflect the pain back because it is on myself. I
force it on my surroundings which include other people and other objects.

explosive anger. Also to .....

<view this essay>.... and Sofia.
The relationship that Celie has with Mr. Johnson is unbalanced
from the first time they meet. Celie's complacent and gentle nature leave her
at the mercy of Albert Johnson's more dominant attitude. The rhetoric that she
expresses to him, of innocence and always complying to his orders, forces her to
live a large portion of her life sheltered and overshadowed by Albert, who
continuously beats her into submission. Celie also passes on what she learned
from “Mister” to his son Harpo, the rhetoric of “the importance of a man giving
his wife a good beating.” Albert Johnson does not even realize how important
Celie is to him until she is gone. At .....
