Advertising - Good Or Bad
... is designed for one purpose - to sell. To acheive this goal,
advertises are willing to stretch and distort the truth, just to convincing
people to buy their product. For example, an advertiser may convince
buyers to purchase their product by stating that has been tested and found
superior. In reality, the product is not likely to be beter than any other
- the tests themselves doubtlessly conducted by the promoting company -
conducted to ensure at least something is superior about the product, even
if it is only the colour.

I struck him in my rage...I killed him (1.2.764-772).

killed him. All the while, an old man, Teiresias, knew that it was King Laius
that Oedipus had killed. Oedipus didn't even know that it was King Laius that he
killed. In the future, when Teiresias tries to convince Oedipus that he is the
killer, Oedipus turns him away and calls him a liar and blames it all on him:
And I'll tell you what I think:

Film Review: Shindler's List
... saves 1200 Jews from their death by the Nazi’s. The setting was in the midst of World War III and the Germans had invaded Poland. The Polish people were forced from their homes and into the Ghetto. The Holocaust was a vast evil engine set whirling by racism and madness. Schindler outsmarted it, in his own little corner of the war, but he seems to have had no plan, to have improvised out of impulses that remained unclear even to himself.
It begins with Schindler, a tall, strong man with an intimidating physical presence. He dresses expensively and frequents nightclubs, buying caviar and champagne for Nazi o ...

The Powerful Persuasion Of Plebeians
... men?" (III, ii, 23-4).
Then he says that if it were for his country that he would need to die, it
should be with the same sword that killed Caesar. Brutus also tries to
appeal to the audience's logical sense by describing the conspirators'
motives and blaming Caesar for being ambitious. His main reason for the
deed committed by his colleagues and him was their pride and duty to his
country. Being general in his statements left the crowd to understand more
easily Brutus’s side of the story and accept him and what he did.
Antony begins his speech with an innocent eulogy, but instead incites his
audience into a rio ...

country's flunking educational system and students who know to trust no one

would have failed. At the beginning of the movie it shows how two teachers
have already quit their job at this school and had given up ...

... argue against
others who believe that Creon deserves that honor. They say that the Gods
were against Creon, and that he did not truly love his country. "His
patriotism is to narrow and negative and his conception of justice is too
exclusive... to be dignified by the name of love for the state" (Hathorn
59). These arguments, and many others, make many people believe the
Antigone is the rightful protagonist.
