In 1966, there was a variety of cookies including the bestseller, the chocolate mints, now known as thin mints. They translated the senior girl scout handbook into…

One of those literary elements is the use of foils, which there are plenty of examples. Banquo is used as a foil to Macbeth to show and emphasize their differences as characters.

Early Atomic Experiments Joseph John Thomson conducted an experiment that is known today as the CRT Experiment. The outcome of this experiment was JJ’s discovery of the electron.

Discussing the cultural context of the novel, Crime and Punishment by F. D, helped me make a connection between the contrasting characters of the novel and understand the author’s source of inspiration for his work. When reading the novel, I had already recognized that Raskolnikov was a very pessimistic character who viewed the world in negative terms. However, after being introduced to the popularized theory of nihilism in Russia during the oral discussion, I concluded that the character might…

Tale of Two Cities, Charles Dickens uses this in order to portray something to the extreme either positively or negatively. He compares two different circumstances to bring the lightness and darkness out of either one of them.

Also, he contrasts the mobs in those countries. Even though the throngs have similar goals, there are still…

picks up different ideas which he soon sees aren’t all correct. In order to retain the values Shakespeare and his “savage” companions instilled in him, John must decide which idea is more true to him and his identity. In doing this, John represents the foil character of Bernard and the hard-headed nature of the “savage” people. Bernard's dissatisfaction with his society expresses itself most characteristically in sullen resentment and imagined heroism, but John lives out his ideals, however…

Werner was staring at me. His hand was outstretched but his fingers didn’t look right to me; they were bitten and bruised around the cuticles, an inhumane shade of purple. He kept moving in and out of visibility, a whitewash of color buzzing around his head like a halo. “C’mon, Liesel,” he was murmuring. His pupils were dilated. “Don’t go with them, Liesel. Think of me. Don’t go.” A rowdy woman was screaming at me on my right. She was the devil perched upon my shoulder while Werner was…

Most companies insist that makeup is merely a tool to cover up imperfections and look better. However, her idea was that makeup is a form of creative expression and a way to demonstrate an individual's unique personality. Her first edition consisted of her Unicorn line of lipsticks. The bold and vibrant colors in…

Macbeth is an oddity in that it brings into question fate or a conscious choice dictating our actions. Do we, as a people, have the will to affect our charted course, or are we doomed to walk a predetermined path? Making no decisions for ourselves along the way? I fall into the mindset that, at least in Macbeth’s story, it’s a mixture of the two. We are heading toward a chosen point, but we choose how we arrive. In Macbeth, the witches play a central role in directing Macbeth to commit…
