The catcher made his signal, and the pitcher stared down the batter with an evil eye.…
Loki is the Norse god of trickery. He never had any intention to help anyone, but himself. This put Loki into many situations where he decided to help the giants instead of helping the other gods.

Elia Kazan’s testimony was the direct cause of Arthur Miller’s The Crucible. Miller even went as far to send Kazan a manuscript of The Crucible to which Kazan responded that he would be honored to direct such a powerful piece.

Emotional appeal does indeed tug at the heart strings and can do a better job convincing.…
