exposing her audience to the cruel act. When Marcus accidentally finds Lavinia, she's mounted onto a burnt black tree trunk, swaying to the breeze. Her white, now stained, dress and skin are a harsh juxtaposition against her scorched environment. Like purity found in a brothel. What I found most interesting was, Marcus had to leave the plush green forest and ventures into the brittle land around Lavinia, as many helping those cope with the aftermath of sexual abuse…

(1837-1901) authors had to write in a setting that strongly opposed explicit and lewd sexual content. Author Bram Stoker, lived in the era where sexual content was not yet comfortable for many of his readers. However, instead of preaching for sexual purity like the British government did during the Victorian period, Stoker did the complete opposite by implementing a mixture of darkness and sexuality into his book. If one reads Dracula by Bram Stoker they would easily be able to detect the many…

However, Shakespeare reminds the audience of the feud and how it will impact Romeo and Juliet's love by adding moments of conflict into the scene.…

The Church understands that her duty is not only to be the house for God, but as a sanctuary to comfort any man or woman in need. Therefore, we all come from the same creator, God, which He creates us in His own image and likeness. Even though we look different, our hearts and soul remain the same because God has given us this gift…

not want war in 1939; he wanted victory. He wanted victory in a series of campaigns that would be but the prelude to the real war- the struggle for racial purity within the German master race.” This shows how he wanted power but not in violence because all he wanted was victory in all campaigns. The struggle was that there was some racial purity with the German race. Another example is on that sheet of paper that talks about Kamikazes and how those suicide bombers had to follow the Bushido code.…

Finally, she sacrificed one feeling for another and saved value and purity of her heart. Very unusual and unique way to add an emotional side to this story, when the narrator chosen to address and speak to the nature throughout this passage “woodland and summer-time, remember!
