Where the heck is Marchosias? At this point he'd be telling me "what a ridiculous farce, your gamble will only work so many times, and it stops when you need it the most." Or something along those lines. As I was thinking to myself. The king approaches me, looking straight at me. I look at the eagle behind me, but it returns my…

    willing to maintain a sense of responsibility and justice on its own home front. Roosevelt himself stated that one should walk softly and carry a big stick, a redundant statement for an imperial conquest. Self-government for America was nothing but a farce, a blatant façade. The States couldn’t keep the majority of its own citizens fed, educated, employed, compensated within sane means, let the 1% control the country within the time frame of less than a century. Now at the turn of the century,…

    • 728 Words
    • 3 Pages

    prove Hester Prynne's character is not honorable. By using this technique, these short sentences create the feeling of jabbing or stabbing at Hester’s character.

    This page comes with microtonal theme music: ostentatious, except sevenfold; a song that doesn't offer anything new, instead lazily rolling around in its own filth.

I'm a frequent purveyor of what may or may not be satirical hubris, chutzpah…

    The Salem Witch Trials were a bloody time in colonial America during the 1600’s, depicted in Arthur Miller 's play, The Crucible. The events of the trials in the play are dramatically depicted, although the plot gives an accurate prediction of what would happen during a time of mass hysteria. Many characters have contributed to the mass hysteria, but some are more to blame than others. The character Mary Warren is more to blame than the character Abigail Williams because Mary is easily…
