The rising sun shone hot on the ranks of the Civil Air Patrol cadet and staff members of the Ohio Wing 2017 Encampment. Though the sticky July morning foreboded a sweltering and humid day, my heart beat rapidly with excitement as we saluted the rising American Flag. As Echo Flight Sergeant, I was directly in charge of the training and accountability of thirteen “basic” cadets. The cadet command staff interviewed and selected all other staff members in January. For the next six months, we trained…

The German Air Force, also known as the Luftwaffe, was conducting deep air raids into…

Lear’s perception of loyalty was silence of unfair punishment and agreeance with his unfairness which is the complete opposite of Kent’s attempt. Before Kent’s defense he expressed his pure loyalty and respect for Lear by saying, “Royal Lear, Whom I have ever honour’d as my king, loved as my father, as my master follow’d...” (5), yet he was still treated as a traitor and was banished. Kent defended Cordelia knowing that in Lear’s anger he would feel his wrath. After his banishment…

With the Help of Baubles of Britain, written by T.H. Breen and Rebel against Rebel, authored by…

She seeks out revenge for those who have caused her pain. As a result, Medea believes that revenge is justified. Medea seeks revenge to justify how her husband Jason has mocked…
