Disgrace

This poem dramatizes the conflict between actually feeling love and the act of making love. In Sharon Old’s “Sex without Love” the speaker floats in the third person as more of a scientist experimenting with love. On the surface love is mirrored through the imagery of “beautiful as dancers “and “great runners” (Olds 2-3); making love, as Sutton said “favorable” (178). To continue this praise for loveless-love, Sutton points out that in lines fourteen and fifth teen: “the ones who will not /…

Maycomb County, in Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird, willingly took a white man’s word, an ignoble white man’s word, over that of an obviously innocent black man. “We can educate ‘em till we’re blue in the face, we can try till we drop to make Christians out of ‘em, but there’s no lady safe in her bed these nights,” (266) Mrs. Farrow declares, promulgating the idea that a certain people group must be stereotyped and encouraging the belief that all “darkys” were crass and savage. But, Tom…

Historical Moment “To escape fear, you must go through it, not around it.” The horrors of public speaking plague an introverts mind. Growing up, other kids called me shy since I never talked unless a teacher forced me to. Consequently, I do not understand how I got myself into this situation. Here I sit in an empty, colorless classroom filled with students tapping on their desks itching for the 2:25 P.M. bell to ring and dismiss them from their misery. The teacher, a small crabby old man,…

Once that other officer came in then the suspects would become even more unruly saying that the officer betrayed their kind and was a disgrace to them.

Brutus should have listened to Cassius about not letting Anthony speak on behalf of Caesar's funeral. Anthony knew how to stroke the crowd into believing that he had no special qualities or talents that could ever come up with such an outrageous plot to kill Caesar. Anthony used Brutus as an example to prove to the Romans everything that he wasn’t. Anthony to the attention from him and put it on…
