All My Sons

Weird Sisters are meeting together in a place that they know Macbeth will come through. Macbeth and Banquo walk in and are startled to see the Sisters when they start to say, FIRST WITCH. All hail, Macbeth! Hail to thee, Thane of Glamis! SECOND WITCH. All hail, Macbeth! Hail to thee, Thane of Cawdor! THIRD WITCH. All hail, Macbeth, that shalt be king hereafter! (1.3.51-53) The quote is saying that…

seemed to be a “partner of greatness”, but in the end she opposed all expectations—she was an embodiment of dark ambition. The audience would be surprised to see such character that contradict stereotypes in that era. In addition, Lady Macbeth thinks her husband “is too full o’th’milk of human kindness”. Macbeth was a captain, one who leads armies, one who kills as he charges forward, without hesitation slaying his opponents, not at all is he filled with ‘human kindness’. Shakespeare writes this…

Paul Revere was an important member of the Sons of Liberty, a pin smith and an engraver. One of his most famous pieces of art was a depiction of the Boston Massacre in 1770. Although this is a firsthand account, it cannot be considered a reliable source. As an avid patron of the freedom of the colonists, his drawings are extremely biased in favor of the colonies. He leaves out the historical evidence of the Boston Massacre where the colonists are also at fault. Therefore, his Boston Massacre…

All eyes were on England and their colonies in the mid to late 1700’s. Other countries were watching the escalating tensions between the British Colonies and their mother country. To have the audacity to completely mount a rebellion was unheard of, although, the Colonists were left with no choice. England’s actions were radical and disrespectful at the least, and without them, there would not have been a revolution. England brought the revolution upon themselves, by enforcing the Currency Act,…

behavior God wants of us. By pretending to be a good person even if you are not, we begin to become that reality. He says when we get on our knees and say our prayers, we say "our father". We are assuming the role of a son of God. In a sense, you are pretending because you know you are not a son of God. Pretending is not always bad; it sometimes leads us to good things. When we pretend, we seize an opportunity to practice those virtues, and over time, that practice can make those virtues become…

The Daughters of liberty The daughters of liberty were a group of women who were angry with Britain because of all of the unnecessary taxes being given to them, so they decided to rebel against the British by making homemade things instead of buying them from British merchants. The daughters of liberty consisted mainly of five women, Martha Washington born June 13, 1731 in New Kent County, VA, Sarah Franklin Bache born September 11, 1743 in Philadelphia, PA, Esther de Berdt Reed born October 22,…

George Hewes planned a way, To end the dynasty that the British created. To end the cruel taxing that hurt their trade. They ordered the British to send back their boats, That carried the tea that should be going down their throats. But the British insisted that the ships be kept.

the narrator says, “One day, I always thought, she would tell me about it—when I was old enough to know the story. It was, apparently, the kind of story you had to be "old enough" to hear. It wasn't until she died—without a word to me concerning who my father was—that I felt I'd been cheated out of information I had a right to know; it was only after her death that I felt the slightest anger toward her” (37). John is led to believe that his father was a very smart and special character. The only…

Before Christmas, Dracula, and all the other classic creep-taculars that pop up by the end of October, typically remind everyone that, yeah, it is Halloween. But why do we even celebrate it, and how did it all start? The most probable answer is because Philippines is one of the largest Christian country in the world and in the liturgical year, October thirty first is the time that we dedicate to remembering the dead.
