Los Vendidos
... he is only finding the bad of his people and stating it for the entire room to hear. He shows great disrespect for the Mexican heritage by saying all that is wroong with them. He shows their flaws, weaknesses, and imperfections. I believe your heritage makes up who you are and that is you, so you should never disrespect yourself by disrespecting your heritage. I believe thee way he sold-out was by disrespecting his heritage. THe Mexican American is still trying to decide weather he is going to live Mexican or American. When the Mexican-American says,"the only thing I don't like is how come I always got to play the goddamn Mexican-American"(page384). You are ...

Women In Macbeth
... important lines in the play is when Lady Macbeth says "Come, you spirits/That tend on mortal thoughts! unsex me here,". I think that Shakespeare is showing us that, you must be careful what you wish for.
When Macbeth returns to his castle Lady Macbeth greets him with joy, addressing him as "Great Glamis". Macbeth tells her "Duncan comes here to-night". Upon hearing this Lady Macbeth says "O never/Shall sun that morrow see! She sees Duncans coming not only as an opportunity to murder Duncan, but also as a sign of fate. Lady Macbeth tells Macbeth that tonight he must act like "flower" but act like a quote "serpent under't". These small quotes show how scrupulous and ...

The Renaissance
... during and many Muslims worked as slaves in Italy. Money lending and trade contributed to the excessive wealth of city-states in Italy.

Movie: The Grapes Of Wrath - The People And The Depression
... of people like the Joads, but I don't believe
government programs will effect them at all. For example, the great depression
was a major economical event, and it greatly effected more then just people like
the Joads, but programs like the public works administration which employed
people for government construction projects. Another program, the Works
Progress Administration, later called the Works Projects Administration was
created to develop relief programs, and to keep a person's skills. From 1935-
1943, it employed 8 million people, and spent 11 billion dollars. But in 1939,
there were still 9.5 million still unemployed. Another program was the Civili ...

Hamlet: The Theme Of Masks
... as if their existence was without
and cruelty. And finally Hamlet hides behind his madness, be it real or pretend,
a person who is indecisive and spiteful. Masks in this play are not just a
theme; they are the whole basis of it.
The mask theme develops throughout the play as various characters try to cover
their secret intentions with a veneer of a whole other person. One of the most
obvious, of course is Claudius. Claudius murdered his brother, the former king
Hamlet, in order to become king himself. This murder, which was done in secret,
with no one but Cladius knowing that the act was committed by him. Not only is
he the King of Denmark, but he is also m ...

Oedipus: Fates
... his own fate. But with determinism, a man
has a predetermined destiny and fate that absolutely cannot be altered by the
man himself. Yet, it has been the desire of man to avoid the perils that his
fate ho lds andthus he unceasingly attempts to thwart fate and the will of the
divine.. Within the principle of determinism, this outright contention to divine
mandate is blasphemous and considered sin. This ideal itself, and the whole
concept of determinism, is quite common in the workings of Greek and Classical
literature. A manifest example of this was the infamous Oedipus of The Theban
Plays, a man who tried to defy fate, and therefore sinned.
The logic of Oe ...

Macbeth: Macbeth Is More Guilty By His Actions Than Lady Macbeth Is By Hers
... found more guilty than Lady Macbeth.
The very first murder in this story was committed on Duncan. This crime was
planned by both Macbeth and Lady Macbeth. The actual murder was done by Macbeth,
making him more guilty of the crime. Lady Macbeth just talked about committing
the crime, but she never actually went through with it nor would she ever, and
that is all that counts. Talking about committing the incident is very
different from actually doing it. Lady Macbeth did a little more than just talk
about it though. She also urged Macbeth into doing it and that is what makes her
part of this crime, but she is not as guilty as Macbeth. He really didn't have
to l ...
