The man inquired standing before me, his query drawing the attention of most of the individuals within the room. "This letter arrived four days ago?" I responded presenting the summons for David McNeil, the favored…

Why didn’t anything happen in you, Wild Awake? I wanted you to be good, but unfortunately, you were not because nothing happened and goddamn, your main character and the prose was cringe-worthy. Yes, that’s right, my dear friends. Nothing really happen. Yeah, Wild Awake seemed true to everyday life since life doesn’t have an overarching plot, and I would’ve enjoyed it if I hadn’t disliked the main character.

So here we go, take a deep breath and keep reading. I’m struggling. So hard that it hurts. I can’t even explain half of the feelings that are twisting and turning inside of my heart right now. If you know me you know that my emotions are all on overload.…

deception of dressing as a man (another prevalent theme within Shakespeare’s work) that she is able to teach Bassanio never to break his promises to her in the form of the ring trial. Rosalind also teaches her romantic interest while crossdressing in As You Like It (AYL). Orlando, her romantic interest, is an absurdly hopeless romantic, going so far as to carve poems into trees in the forest of Arden, proclaiming: These trees shall be my books, And in their barks my thoughts I’ll character,…

Still, I could not shake the odd feeling I had gotten about her words. What sort of man was Mr. Jones? “You can sit down, Mr. Miller,” Mrs. Jones said from the stove. “Ah, yes, of course!” I faltered. “Thank you.” I pulled out one of the wooden chairs and slowly lowered myself into it, once again eyeing…

Yes, I realize the October update is arriving in November. I knew something good was coming on the 3rd and I wanted to wait so I could tell you about it.

Two plays that particularly highlight this are A Midsummer Night’s Dream and As You Like It. In these plays some of the characters travel through their green world, realize something about themselves or their place in life, and are forever changed once they leave. In this essay I will discuss Titania in A Midsummer Night’s Dream…

and the beginning of unlimited possibilities. This is the moment when you take the lessons of parents, teachers and everyone else who have impacted your life in so many ways and begin to make your own way in the world. Never again will the security of Middleville, TK High School or your parent’s home protect you from life’s challenges. This thought is sobering and perhaps a bit unnerving to someone still in their teens. But you can be buoyed by the…
