“Waiting for Godot”

We need Act II of waiting for Godot. Without it, we won’t really know what going on or understand the play very well. All we know in Act I, is they’re waiting for Godot. They don’t know if he is coming or not. They don’t remember being there before. They met Pozzo and Lucky. They’re a weird brunch. Pozzo wants to sell Lucky because he is no use to him anymore. They were there for a while, till they have to go, then the boy come forward saying he will come tomorrow. They are two old men, they have live for a while now.

This kind of make sense to me now, that I have reread this part again. In Act I he was telling Estragon that… Vladimir says “on our hands and knees.” Then, Estragon says “as bad as that?” Then, Vladimir says “your Worship wishes to assert his prerogatives?” Then, Estragon says “we’ve no rights any more?” Then, Vladimir “you’d make me laugh if it wasn’t prohibited.” Then, Estragon says “we’ve lost our ?” Then, Vladimir says “we got rid of them.” All throughout the play we hear Estragon is tire he wants to sleep, but Vladimir keep on waking him, because he is lonely and wants some company. I think Mr. Godot could be God. Plus, his name says it all just take out the ot, what will this leave us? God. He not meeting with them yet, because it is not their time yet. I believe Estragon is having versions about this day or somewhere in the near future. All throughout the play, they were talking about Christ death on the cross ad things like

    In the novel, Their Eyes Are Watching God by Zora Neale Hurston, Janie's newfound happiness with Tea Cake is seen as a product of her listening to her own desires. Janie feels that she is "so glad she was scared of herself" (117) foreshadowing the danger and instability of Janie's intense love for Tea Cake, a kind of love that is the polar opposite of Nanny's view of marriage as a source of safety and stability.

    Tolstoy’s story, “Master and Man,” was expertly written and I enjoyed it greatly. At first glance, the story seems bland with no true meaning but, with deeper insight and careful consideration, it has underlying meanings. To put it mildly, it’s not simply a story about a selfish man and his ‘worker’; it’s a journey not just for the characters in the story, but for readers as well. This story gives readers an accurate glance into Russian culture and way of life. Countless people have extremely biased and stereotypical views about Russia because of how the country is portrayed in our society.…

Americans who were alive during this time expected to be applauded for their sacrifice and support, veterans expected to get an “atta- boy” and to be honored for their valor and heroism. When in actuality, “The Last Act's" perspective was too analytical and sacrificed accuracy for political correctness. The Smithsonian was unprepared for the emotions and controversy which followed.…
