The Cradle Will Rock

importance to him, and with Othello demoting him only further upsets him. Iago soon backstabs Cassio, and convinces Montano that Cassio is an alcoholic. “’Tis evermore his prologue to his sleep. He’ll watch the horologe a double set if drink rock not his cradle” (Othello, II.III, 42). He tells Montano that Cassio drinks every night before he goes to sleep, and if he didn’t drink he’d stay up all night and day. This was Iago’s plan all along, to get Cassio demoted, and to ruin his reputation;…

The appearance of forms that for decades were forbidden: pediments and arches, towers and domes, appear again during the postmodernism era. As Christian Norberg-Schulz stated, “Aren’t they just the manifestation of superficial nostalgia?”.1 Postmodernism came as a protest against the sterile emptiness of ‘late modern’ architecture, which lacks the satisfactory reference to everyday world of things. Modern architecture was always abstract and drew away from reality. It became non-figurative, as…

In Lila, some of the schema builders that I thought were very helpful were “Black Tuesday,” since it showed how inhumane prostitution truly was in the Depression Era. It is a Kinesthetic, Musical, and Visual schema builder. The woman in “The Cradle Will Rock - Nickel Under the Foot,” portrayed Lila as a woman who had to work through prostitution to survive, since it is her only option. In Lila, Lila did not have a choice but to deal with the horrifying experience of being teased by Mack. She…

I thought I saw a ghost. Before I came home from the Marine Corps, I’d cashed my Savings Bonds, a little over five thousand dollars, and spent some months traveling through Australia, from Canberra to the Gold Coast to Melbourne and the Twelve Apostles. I returned when I ran out of money. After four years of sporadic visits home on leave, all I wanted, now, was to go somewhere that was vaguely familiar, to feel some faint connection to a past I’ll never again touch. I get this instead. “Oh my…

Homer’s Iliad is a portrayal of a momentous battle fought by magnificent warriors. This battle has raged for nine years, this story taking place in its tenth. The fighters are fearless warriors, each with some legend of their own. Many are renowned on both sides of the war: Achilles, the “swift running” warrior of the Greeks, or Achaeans, and Hector the “last defence” of the Trojans. the Iliad focuses on the trials and tribulations of these, and other, warriors. Though they are certainly…

Apollo: Looking for Love in all the Wrong Places Considered the “…the most Greek of all the gods” (Hamilton 25), Apollo is the god of the sun, healing, music, poetry, prophecy, plague, archery, and truth. This makes him a powerful god amongst the Olympians and leads to extensive praise from mortals. This kind of importance places Apollo at the center of countless myths where his power and prestige shine through. Fathered by Zeus, and born to Leto, Daughter of Coeus and Phoebe, Apollo and his…

I am a person who is never satisfied. I strive for something greater and larger in every aspect of my life. I do not like to settle and say I am complete with anything. I feel there is always room for more and always another chance at something. I live my life based on this idea and can never come to terms when a chapter is complete in my life. I spent two years planning my wedding, and once it was over, I longed to do it again. After we had purchased our first home, I began searching for…
