Fool

Who am I? Well of course I am Lauren Elizabeth Goll, but you can just call me Lauren. I am 14 years old and I was born on November 25 of the year 2002. My mom told her family that she was pregnant with me on April fools day so her family thought she was joking which now that I look back on it, it may seem pretty depressing but I swear once I first heard about this I was laughing so much. I have two siblings, Morgan and Tj. My dad is in the Military, much like many other students in this school,…

Describe The title of this painting is called the Ship of Fools by Hieronymus Bosch. It was painted around 1490 to 1500. Bosch used oil on wood. This painting is 58 centimeters by 33 centimeters. In this painting, there are about twelve people. They are either naked in the water or wearing pilgrim-like clothing. There is one person, however, who is dressed in all white with pointed ears sitting on a tree branch. The first thing I see is a man in the water. My gaze then moved up through the…

for an individual’s occupation. Most of the time decisions such as figuring out dinner plans can be a quick thought. On the other hand, when it comes to fabricating a correct decision for a company, the facts need to be precise. In the “Surety of Fools,” Daniel Kahneman observes people’s “illusion of validity,” which acknowledges the false, unreliable sense of confidence that he and other people encountered when making judgments (217). Kahneman's essay indicates methods to avoid faulty judgments…

Doyle, an author of “Aretha Franklin,” says, “Songs like “Respect,” “Chain of Fools” and “Think” became anthems for the civil rights and women’s liberation movements, though Franklin downplays her influence on the latter” (19). Even though she doesn’t consider herself an idol of feminism, it is apparent of her contribution to this ideal and liberation. Symbols are important in this movement because it gives someone to look up to and learn from. Kurt Cobain was a women’s advocate and feminist as…

The story of The Queen’s Fool by Philippa Gregory vividly brought to life the ideas, characters, and fears of the 1550s that resulted from the fierce rivalry between King Henry III’s daughters, Elizabeth and Mary Tudor. It followed both women through the eyes of the psychic “holy fool”, Hannah “Green”, as they battled over the English throne. The aging, unappealing Mary Tudor was nearly the exact reverse of her youthful and lively younger sister. While Mary sought to stomp out all Protestants…

The four main poems that shall be predominantly dealt with are “Aubade”, The "Old Fools", "Ambulances" and "The Building”. A few other poems which have some thematic similarity will also be dealt with to substantiate the argument. As far as death is concerned Larkin can be said to be somewhat obsessed with this idea. The note struck by the quatrain in “The North Ship” –“This is the first thing\I have understood: \Time is the echo of an axe\Within a wood”-has been repeated throughout his mature…

In The Crucible, some say John Proctor was a hero for giving up his life and some say he was a fool. I say he was a hero, there are many reasons why he was a fool but many reasons why he was also a hero. John was honest, he was brave, he was also understanding. John was honest because he, after signed the paper, admitted that he had nothing to do with witchcraft and didn’t need anyone to hang his name up on the church board. John also was honest to his wife about the affair with Abigail…

The poem “I’m a Fool to Love You” by Cornelius Eady meant quite a lot to me. It made me realize that in my future love life, I can possibly come upon a toxic relationship. And it will be my duty to realize what kind of relationship it is and to get out of it before this toxic relationship causes hurt not just to myself but to others as well. I really liked this poem because it tells women that if they let this toxic relationship grow and make a family out of it, it can and will affect the people…

signs the paper, and then John rips the paper and says that he’d rather get hanged for his wrong doing. He was a fool for doing what he had done. John Proctor should have confessed and lived on in guilt. Proctor is a fool because he choose to give his life for someone else. He should have confessed and sat in prison. He should have just confessed to having done witchcraft. Proctor is a fool for giving up his live because it's better to confess and sit in prison rather than getting hanged…
