    When most people think of the term “hero” they think of comic book characters with superpowers or role models who have admirable traits. For some, the thought of a “tragic hero” could seem somewhat contradicting and confusing. However, the Greek philosopher Aristotle defines a tragic hero as a character who, for the most part, is a good person but suffers from his or her hamartia and hubris, which ultimately leads to their downfall and recognition of their poor choices as well as the reversal of their situation. The play Fences written by August Wilson describes the struggles and hardships of an African-American family attempting to live the American Dream in the 1950s. Although some may argue that the main character, Troy, is not a tragic…

    Sexism: "You are burnt beyond recognition," he added, looking at his wife as one looks at a valuable piece of personal property which has suffered some damage. - this text evidence supports the theme of the text because it shows that Mr. Pontellier only valued Mrs. Pontellier as a trophy or property of his, not as a woman or human being. "If it was not a mother's place to look after children, whose on earth was it?" - This evidence can relate to the theme of sexism by showing that, the one who is supposed to care for the children most are the mothers, no one else could.…

    Narrator: It is late 1692, the height of the Salem Witch trials. Today we hope to put on display a purely hypothetical reproduction of this trial. Let it be noted that the characters present in this trial are not based upon any one person of Salem and have made up histories and lives. Keeping this into account, any connections between these characters and those who really did live in Salem are to further flesh out the characters and have no basis in reality.…

    Did you know that approximately 80,000 people are being held in solitary confinement in the United States right now, and that these 80,000 people come only from the 38 states that still utilize solitary confinement in their prison systems? If the goal of prison really is rehabilitation, the inmates should be helped, not harmed. Solitary confinement is inhumane treatment and therefore, it should be abolished. For those of you who don’t know much about solitary confinement, here is some background: not all states still incorporate solitary confinement into their prison systems, but in Massachusetts, inmates can be sentenced to solitary confinement for up to 10 years, where they are only allowed 5 hours a week of outdoor recreation.…

    It does little to hide the perks of being an actively sexual being either, as we see multiple detailed shots of characters in the process of coitus. What this means to the way Americans bring up their children is a question of parental control and one open to debate. Whether the exposure of children of various ages to the sexual side of the human body is acceptable or not is a matter of perspective and one that cannot be explicitly carved out. Nonetheless, restraint is advised during the start of the show. A more common and perhaps funny side of sexuality is portrayed in minute 46 of the first episode.…
