‘Romeo and Juliet’ is an amourous tragedy written by William Shakespeare. The written date of this play can be dated to 1595. Written during The Renaissance period, soon after the deadly plague, this event is reflected on Shakespeare’s choice of language throughout. This woeful play tells the tale of two lovestruck adolescents, Romeo Montague and Juliet Capulet, which takes a fatal turn towards their devastating end. The loss of the children was the only thing which could bring together the…

Once upon a time a young girl, influenced through several Disney princesses, realized that she was never going to have the happily ever after she always dreamed of. She’ll never have the guy who treats her right, instead she gets the guy who hits her while he’s drunk, and a mother fighting for her life in a hospital bed. Yet she continues to pray for her happy ending day after day, year after year. She begins to hate the stories that made her dream that made her feel special. Every day she falls…

their sport and competition over their families, kids, and lives outside of sports. Thus meaning that they perceive sports to be the most important thing in their lives. My first argument to support this claim depicts the part in the movie where Michael Jordan has been kidnapped and is stuck in the 3 Dimensional world. Jordan never tries to get back to see his family and loved ones. He also doesn’t send for anyone to notify people back in the real world of his current state and location. Jordan…

The Lord of the Flies by William Golding and Shakespeare’s Othello both has characters that play a part in mankind’s evil. Jack and Iago show humans deepest fear, which is unleashing the dark hidden desires deep within people’s hearts. Although both individuals were immoral, Iago’s vile and twisted actions compared to Jack’s will always be as great as that between heaven and earth. The basis behind this is that individuals who are narcissistic will do things that only benefit themselves. People…

Imagine walking into a store late at night and being watched very closely because people just suspect you are going to steal something. Blacks are viewed as hood and violent. Imagine if all blacks were treated equally. Do you think LeBron James or Michael Jordan are suspected for acts of violence or stealing something? What makes them different, the fact that they can dribble down a court and shoot a ball into a hoop and make no difference in the “goodness” of society. Black lives matter, all…

I was born on December 20th, 1996, in Vienna, Virginia. My incredible parents, Kevin and Melissa, are black and white respectively. They both grew up without a lot, but worked tirelessly, just as their parents had done before them, to ensure that my brother and I had everything that we needed, and most of what we wanted. Although we were well above middle class on a national scale, at our predominantly white all-boys private school filled with multi-millionaire families, we were outliers. That…

Entry 14: This entry will focus on the scandals associated with stardom, and will transition into a deeper focus on Michael Jackson. Stars have two selves that are developed and manipulated over time. They have the ego-ideal and the ideal-ego. Each encompassing a different mindset and goal. The ideal ego is what is portrayed to the media ideally. There is a certain persona that is expected of stars and this ideal-ego is supposed to achieve that. For example, Britney Spears experienced a…

The success of every hero movie undoubtedly relies on the effectiveness of the villain. The character that has corrupt motives and performs malicious actions consistently throughout the entire plot of the film – the Joker. This prevalent character, the Joker, reveals an objection to the Socratic view on virtue. In Plato’s Laches, two fathers seek advice from Laches, Nicias, and Socrates on how to raise honorable men. Socrates confirms an honorable man does not result from teaching…
