In The Taming of the Shrew, Shakespeare first introduces Petruchio in 1.2 as he is at the front door of his good friend Hortensio with his servant Grumio. From the beginning, Petruchio can be seen as a dominant character as he was bickering with Grumio calling him a villain and threatening him by saying “... I’ll knock your knave’s pate” (1.2.10). Petruchio continues to display his brazen and controlling attributes throughout the play and until the end of the play making him a static character.…

By Iago being the puppet master of the play he reveals the inhuman side of people and how they react to manipulation and deception. In the book Othello by Shakespeare we have what I see as a masterful puppeteer. He should be in Sesame Street if you ask me. The puppet masters name is Iago. Iago uses many tools at his dispersal like manipulation, lies, and sometimes just pure luck. His end goal is clear at first but near the end of the story we’re not quite sure where he’s going. Iago is…

and there are no Gods but... (Oniria pΣΝΒνΥ) I was the lonesome crewmember along a black dog in a spaceship travelling forlorn in the deafening and monstrous silence of the universe.

My first theme is, It won't hurt you to help someone, even if it is a one-time small act of kindness. I chose this theme because Katniss’s mother, Mrs.Everdeen, and Katniss’s little sister were at home, starving to death, waiting on Katniss to come home with something to eat, something to keep them alive. But Katniss had nothing, she had nothing to trade and no money to buy, and even the trash cans were empty giving her nothing. She was so poor she wasn’t even able to walk into the bakery for a…

Teens often face exceeding amounts of pressure to attend college in fear that they will not be able to find employment without a degree. Schools contribute to pressure by providing students with an abundance of work, information, etc. to take in during a small amount of time. Students set high goals for themselves, and suffer crushing disappointment when they do not achieve these goals or perform at a lower level than one’s envisions as acceptable. As admission to college becomes harder to gain,…

According to the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN)(n.d.), they “provide initial, ongoing, and comprehensive care, which includes taking health histories; providing physical examinations and other health assessment; and diagnosing, treating, and managing patients with acute and chronic conditions” (p. 7). “Advanced practice nurses actually predate the founding of modern professional nursing” (Joel, 2013, p. 3).…

Murry, a man with high authority because of being W. H. Brady Scholar at the American Enterprise Institute, coauthor of “The Bell Curve” (1994) and author of “Coming Apart” analyzes the idea that too many people are going to college in his article “Are too many people going to college?” His title and job status provides an authority and ethos to his appeal. The question is, how could too many people go to college? In the eyes of the world, it is a necessity. Thus creating a strong sense of…

Throughout the course of the semester we have learned about so many artists, and the transitions to different music genres. We have seen how music has grown throughout the years, and how artists use their songs to express their feelings, and their concerns over issues. As the years have progressed, we have seen how artists have become more vocal on issues that are have been occurring in the United States. One of the main points in history that we have seen in this course, in my opinion, has…
