... two sides to everything. In the book "The Giver" by lois lowery, the authour makes her point very clear. Through the mind of a twelve-year old boy chosen to recieve the memories of a lost world for the sake of the "happiness" of the rest of his perfect society, we learn that perfection comes at a steep price. The people in this story lost the ability to see color, to smell, or hear music. All in order to keep peace and avoid conflict. After dinner, families are forced to discuss their feeling with another and not allowed to keep any secrets. But this boy, Jonas, realizes just how shallow these people are. They claim anger, but have never felt the blood-boil ...

... typical person. He was not married, nor did he have children. As a matter of fact he did not like children at all. The town that Samuel Paris lived in, Salem was an ordinary town. Salem was located near the wilderness. The continent spread far west and most of it was a mystery to the people of Salem. Every now and then Indian tribes would move in and out of there. But in the town of Salem lots of helpful people, and no one really had time to fool around. Everyone in the town knew one another and there was no, “minding your own business”. Everything was everyone’s business and this would soon cause problems. The people of Salem believed t ...

... with sparkling clarity. This alone displays how an innocent child is affected by the battle that rages over him, a battle that he has no control over. PS was settled in life until Vanessa entered and shattered it into disharmony. The arrival and presence of PS's invidious aunt creates a lot of stress for the small boy. He must endure changes in his home, school, and lifestyle. All of this was done against the will of PS, who strongly resented the proposition of these changes. This incident displays the lack of importance the opinion of a child holds in society. PS disliked Vanessa, but his opinion was held irreverent. This was made apparent by his experi ...

... In actuality Roger Chillingworth is a great scholar, so great in fact that he is described as “someone who had so cultivated his mental part that it could not fail to mould the physical to itself”. Roger had a furrowed visage, and his eyes were dim and blurred from reading to many books under lamplight. Roger Chillingworth was an older man and was mildly deformed, “It was sufficiently evident to Hester Prynne that one of this man’s shoulder rose higher than the other." This deformity may also make him seem hideous or monster like, but it is just a sign of his age. Roger Chillingworth, although Native Americans captured him, was a re ...

... and Adam and all humans to come by deceit or seduction. Her evil wrongdoing came in the form of temptation. As the serpent presented the option of tasting the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge, Eve became full of pride in believing she could be like God with this wisdom, (Genesis 3:5). When God found Adam and Eve hiding from him and asked him if he ate from the tree, Adam's reply was that Eve gave him the fruit and he ate. He did not take sole responsibility for eating the fruit but made sure to point out that it was the woman's idea to eat it. Even the punishments given out to the three violators illuminate the guiltiest of sinners. God punishes Adam by ma ...

... to destroy all evil that appears to be reeking havoc upon Salem. Right from the beginning of the play he faces many difficult situations. He was the witness of Elizabeth Proctor's arrest. He also knew that she was innocent, but was afraid to do anything about it because he was always taught to respect the authority of those above him. By the third act John Hales attitude slowly began to change. He had once been certain of his views, and confident in the ways of the court, but he then started to doubt the court, and even attempted to change some of its demands. "Excellency, it is a natural lie to tell: I beg I may shut my conscience to it no more- private vengean ...

... Macbeth concieve a plan to kill Duncan so he may become king. He goes from noble warrior and trusted friend to a backstabber (literally! Ha ha ha...) all for the promise of becoming king. Not only that, but he hires assassins to bump off Banquo and Fleeance, his son. Banquo gets killed, but Fleeance escapes. Macbeth was willing to kill his own friend just so he may remain king (The witches said Banquo's sons would be kings, and Macbeth didnt like that). To boot, Macbeth sends assassins to kill Macduffs family. By the end of the play, Macbeth is a ruthless, honorless king, and gets killed by Macduff. Macbeth's good side was shown for a little bit in the begining of t ...

... class family. She mentions that she attended business college, and that her father was sending her away to learn how to become a stenographer. This indicates that it was not out of the question for her to work for a living, although after she fell into the hands of Gus Eisman she does nothing of the sort. After living under the care of Mr. Eisman, she easily makes the transition from being a part of the working middle class to the life of leisure of the upper class. This of course would be a tremendous event for most people, but Lorelei seems not to dwell too much on it. She chooses, rather to focus on other more important things like diamond tiaras. So, ...

... used in today’s society. He fully shows that people use irony incorrectly, and it is to their disadvantage. Gordon has a particularly negative view on how much irony is used today. The thesis in his essay is not clearly stated, but his implied argument is that the overuse of irony has made society cynical. This negative view comes across to the reader through sentences such as the following, after Gordon has explained the technical meaning of irony, "In today’s context, irony is a sensibility that values cleverness and style above passion and commitment. It attacks bad taste by seeming to celebrate it. It mocks devotion to important causes by feigning devot ...

... shown by the fact that he is repeatedly called honest; I will be commenting on these throughout my essay. He is much like the character 'Vice' from 'miracle plays' of the 16 and 17th Century that tell the audience what their plan is, and so they all become fellow conspirators in a way. This was done well in the production I saw in Manchester, as the actor playing Iago was good and convincing at talking to the crowd and making us realise that it is the enemy within we should fear most. Some people could argue that Iago was extremely lucky to have all the opportunities put in front of him, such as Emilia finding Othello's handkerchief. I, however believe that wh ...
