None was more amazing than the way Claudius convinced people to completely change their outlook. Claudius had Rosencrantz and Guildenstern so wrapped around his finger that ...

... She told me her name was Kristeen Thorne and told me that she was a new student at Orangeville High School; the same school I attended. We found that we had six out of seven classes together, which was a very good thing. I asked her to go out with me that Friday night. We went to the movies first, and then we went to Vinnie Vicci's Italian restaurant. The date was perfect and the person I was with made the date seem like Heaven. We dated non- exclusively for about one month. On our one month anniversary, I gave her my letter jacket which I earned playing varsity football. And while I did that, I asked her ...

However, Lady MacBeth does not have that problem. In fact, her goal is to get MacBeth to feel as she does. She does so by questioning his manhood in saying: Art thou afeard To be the same in thine own act and valor Which thou esteem'st the ornament of life, And live a coward in thine own esteem, Letting "I dare not" wait upon "I would," Like the poor cat i' th' adage? (I, vii, 40-46). "She ...

Minutes of a Women's Trade Union League meeting held a day after the Triangle Waist Company fire refers to the public indifference to the deplorable working conditions and the pleas for safety reform. One irony of the fire was that a massive strike of garment workers had taken place during the winter of 1909-1910. The reason for the strike was grievous working conditions faced by garment workers.

... First of all, ESL students should work really hard on their language. This should be their first and important priority. One of the reasons is they cannot learn nothing unless they know the new language good enough. The best way to learn it is to spend as much time as possible with the people who speak it. That means do not miss school on purpose, spend some time with teachers or other students after school, listen to other conversations, or maybe even get a job which does not require great language skills.
