to a criminal, as if it were a button to an overcoat. As time goes on, that string is worn from stress, making it more susceptible to snap. Just like a string, all guilt has a snapping point. Joe Keller is the protagonist in Arthur Miller's play All My Sons, who is consumed by the guilt of killing innocent World War II pilots. The guilt of this tragedy is unbearable for Keller, as it drives him to insanity and ultimately compels him to commit suicide. Keller's greatest enemy is his internal…

young, dumb and doing stupid things ended with me being arrested and taken to the Polk County Jail. I learned that by making the right choices I will never end up taking two steps back again. It was almost midnight on a hot July weekend and my brothers and I were out past our curfew; and the only thing that’s out at that time of night is trouble. We were young and wild and used to doing…

America, lots of important and true information was missing due to the fact that certain parts of the war and America’s actions make America look in the wrong. An example of this is said by Loewen when he writes the quotation by John Kerry speaking of the My Lai massacre during Vietnam, saying “how American troops ‘had personally raped, cut off ears, cut off heads... cut off limbs ..randomly shot civilians(pg. 250)”. These acts had occurred during the Vietnam war and when the war was talked…

Browning’s poem, “My Last Duchess” is about a powerful Duke and his late wife. He is showing a portrait painted on the wall of his duchess and describing her to someone. The portrait seems to be full-length and highly realistic because the duke remarks that “there she stands” (4). The duke immediately seems somewhat sinister. He even speaks of the duchess as if she were a possession referring to her as “[his] last duchess” throughout the poem. The poem both begins and ends with the Duke…

barbarously refused her deal by stating “I don't make deals. Why would I? I am in charge of it all.” Even when Bess tried to justify Georgina’s deal, the Duke told her to shut up. Georgina left the table upset, the Duke chased after her and raped her. In my opinion, the reason Georgina tries to make the arrangement is to make everyone equally happy instead of going behind the Duke’s back. That is not how things were handled back in 18th century as long as the men are happy everyone else does not…
