Lydia

In American Tet, Lydia Stryk established several rules that created this play world. The rules I’m talking about revolve around Elaine, Jim, Danny and sometimes Amy. Technically, I see the “rules” as one rule but it differs for each character. Throughout the play, these characters speak without another character present as if they’re communicating with the audience. Each scene with this rule or device intrigued me, especially the manner in which the scenes are structured. For Elaine, her scenes…

Romeo and Juliet is arguably the most famous play of all time. All people read Romeo and Juliet at one time in another during their lifetimes, but to this day people still argue if Romeo and Juliet's deaths were a result of fate or pretending. Through the play there are examples of both fate and pretending. Many characters explicitly talk to fate, while others often deceive others leaving death in their wake. Although there are examples of both fate and pretending the examples of fate have more…

Mary Bennett is a rather intriguing character. I find that Austen’s prose is always providing a judgement of her, yet I wonder if that judgement reflects a lack of understanding on the author and protagonist themselves. Take the following lines for example: Her sister Mary, who having, in consequence of being the only plain one in the family, worked hard for knowledge and accomplishments, was always impatient for display (17). In this characterization, Mary comes off as both unattractive and…

On 07/19/16 at 3:39pm, I was dispatched to 841 Crevis Lane on an injury-possible dangerous or vicious dog owner known. I arrived at the location and spoke to victim John Haywood. I asked Mr. Haywood what took place; Mr. Haywood stated that he was in front of his house when he heard the next dog neighbor son scream from the back yard of 835 Crevis Lane stop Hanes from the back of the house. Mr. Haywood ran to the back of his house where he saw the next door neighbor’s dog attacking his dog…

be able to survive overpopulation. But this situation is different in the sense that we are damaging out environment in an irreversible way. According to the “International Business Times” article Facts, figures and consequences of overpopulation, Lydia Smith says “The effects of overpopulation are quite severe. The first of these is the depletion of natural resources. The Earth can only produce a limited amount of water, food, and fuel, which is falling short of the current needs. Most of the…

Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice is a novel that enlightens modern readers to the important social constructs of England’s Regency period, while criticizing and ridiculing the pompousness of high-end society. She uses many foils to highlight the personalities of her characters that make them seem very real; while also seeming very fake because of the sheer stupidity of their circumstances. Which they could have avoided if they had not given into their pride and their prejudices when they were…

reliance on technology, and the harm this reliance can have on individuals. Bradbury does this by creating the Hadleys family, and demonstrating their own struggles in their lives, because of the technology they are living with. The story begins with Lydia (the mother) in the nursery, where she asks her husband, George to come in and look at the walls, and he thinking nothing of this request does. The nursery is a 3D replica of Africa, that the kids have thought up. While they are standing…

Pride and Prejudice 1. The opening statement gives us a synopsis of what the book is centered on, marriage. From the beginning when Mr. Bingley first moved to Netherfield, he had a ball to get acquainted with the ladies of Hertfordshire. Through many barriers and difficulties he ends up marrying Jane Bennet. In a way the statement prepared us mostly, but in some way misled the reader to think only a man with title would want marriage. Mr. Wickham a detestable man with little to no possession was…

to becoming part of the empire. The extent to which this aided him throughout his reign can be evaluated by comparing his additions to the empire with those of his predecessors. The three main additions to the empire during Cyrus’ reign were Media, Lydia and Babylon but there were also many other smaller states including Parthia, Drangiana, Morgiana and Bactria . This is significantly more than both Cambyses, whose only addition was Egypt, and Darius, who was unable to make further conquests…
