... acted out. They gave the play a sense of flavor and realism. Anne, a young German girl was particularly amusing because of the scuffles she and everyone around her seemed to have. Anne's Mother was a woman who was more traditional than anything else and wanted Anne to be more like a lady. One such person was Margot. As Anne's sister, she was very nice and didn't speak out and was very proper. The Frank's weren't the only ones in this attic, there were other people such as the Van Daans. Mr. Frank let them stay because they needed a place to hide and since they had helped him out so much in the past by actually te ...

... of this "rich" character . In this study I will try to analyze some of his traits (invisibility-lack of indentity , blindness) and his journey from idealism to a grim realism about the racism that confronts him in the story. All my life I had been looking for something , and everywhere I turned someone tried to tell me what it was . I was looking for myself and asking everyone except myself questions which I , and only I , could answer . It took me a long time and much painful boomeranging of my expectations to achieve a realization everyone else appears to have be born with : That I am nobody but myself . But fi ...

... no more Eyes For sordid excellence As Paradise And were You lost, I would be— Though My Name Rang loudest On the Heavenly fame— And were You—saved— And I—condemned to be Where You were not— That self—were Hell to Me— So We must meet apart— You there—I—here— With just the Door ajar That Oceans are—and Prayer— And that White Sustenance— Despair— "I cannot live with You", by Emily Dickinson, is an emotional poem in which she shares her experiences and thoughts on death and love. Some critics believe that she has written about her struggle with death and her desire to have a relatio ...

... because he loves Roxanne so much and want her to be happy. Another example would be when he listened to Roxanne and protects Christian even though getting rid of Christian would help his chance of having Roxanne. Christian loves Roxanne for her physical figure even not knowing much about her at the beginning. Even though he couldn't please her because he wasn't as smart as Roxanne would've liked, he asked Cyrano for help. He gets Cyrano to write poems for him and making him a perfect match for Roxanne, both handsome and intelligent. But in his heart he knows that Roxanne truly loves Cyrano if she finds out th ...

... the Catholic Church and thus further distancing England from Rome, since the Pope would no longer be the head of the Church. More has many objections to and reasons for not signing the oath. More believes that if he does what he is called to do rather than what he believes to be morally right then he will have made the wrong decision and in the end will have no positive effect. This is evident when More says " I believe, when statesmen forsake their own private conscience for the sake of their public duties...they lead their country by a short route to chaos."(Bolt, p 22). Despite what many may think, More woul ...

... which is no part of thee, 52 Take all myself. Lines 36-39 and 41-52 of Act 2; Scene 2, are significant to me because they have distinct levels of understanding and meaning to the play. Line 41 goes back to the original conflict that Romeo and Juliet are from feuding houses, the Capulets and the Montagues. It shows that Juliet does not want her family to fight the Montagues, and that she believes it is ridiculous because it is not the people they hate and fight it is their name, Montague. The section I chose reveals that the kids, Romeo and Juliet, feel that they can not have what they want because of the pa ...

... love towards Agamemnon’s wife. He is very easily willing to trade in his wife for another woman. Second, in Gilgamesh, women are viewed as a powerful temptation who is able to easily control any man. The trapper’s father speaks: Go to Uruk, find Gilgamesh, extol the strength of this wild man. Ask him to give you a harlot, a wanton from the temple of love; return with her, and let her woman’s power this man (3.14). This shows how the women were used as a powerful distraction to seduce a man and take his mind off of what he should be doing. Finally, In Oedipus Rex, the role of women shows the p ...

... poor unfortunate evil man will drive pain deeper into things and spread it about wherever he goes,” (p.131) is how Mrs. Macauley describes the person who tries to contain pain. When Mr. Spangler, the telegraph office owner, was alone, John Strickman tried to rob the telegraph office because he was down on his luck and there was a war going on so he thought it didn’t matter if he or Mr. Spangler died in the holdup. He believed that stealing the money and causing Mr. Spangler pain would relieve the pain of all his mistakes, but all it would really do is cause more pain in himself and ot ...

... sixteenth-century sailors. William Strachey describes which precipitated the ship's "wracke" in a letter dated July 15, 1610: "a dreadfull storme and hideous began to blow from out the North-east, which swelling, and roaring as it were by fits, some houres with more violence than others, at length did beate all light from heaven; which like an hell of darkenesse turned blacke upon us, so much the more fuller of horror." The "Sea Adventure" was rebuilt on the island, which was not as menacing as the storm itself, and nearly a year later the ship rejoined the fleet in Virginia. By many, thi ...

... to you” (Stein 1). In the film, Walter Lee Younger does not do either one of these things. Walter doesn’t show up for work regularly and he certainly has no intentions of playing by the rules to get a business licenses. Walter Lee is a man stuck in a dead end job that he sees as demeaning and he becomes desperate to free himself from the bonds of poverty, oppression and racial discrimination. Walter Lee feels that with money he can change the hegemony’s view of him as a poor, stupid, black servant. The hegemony’s social construction of reality about blacks as being lesser and the hege ...
