The Rogue

There were times, however, when Shakespeare failed at yielding such relationships. In regards to Julius Caesar, many agree that the soliloquies were not the most compelling (Shapiro, 292). Therefore, in this play, they were arguably less valuable. This is reasonable because many soliloquies in Julius Caesar (though not all) were heavily logos. For example, Brutus possesses a soliloquy in which he contemplates a sensitive topic, the murder of Caesar. However, rather than undertaking this…

The play The Roaring Girl is a fictional drama of the life of Mary Flirth, who is known as Moll captured in the play. Sir Alex Wengrave, who is the father to Sebastian, denies his son to marry Mary Fitzallard alleging that her dowry is not enough (Royal Shakespeare Company 4). Sebastian retaliates through pretending to be in love with Moll, who is branded as a notorious thief. Sebastian’s aim is to have his father prefer Mary over Moll and consequently accept their marriage. The dominant…

Jake Parson’s mother called it the magic hour: the moment when a day passes into evening, when the earth feels suspended before darkness and slumber. In the gold and reddening light, an easy southwest breeze propelled Jake’s thirty-five-foot sailboat through the Beaufort Inlet for the first time. As he navigated through the channel, he heard the cries of distant seagulls. It was the first land animal he’d heard in days. The last low rays of the sun illuminated the white church steeple and the…

Mica’s claim, that suggested to her that he was stronger than Caleas in the field of magic. Yet he lived in a hovel in comparison to Caleas’ home.

The United States’ military is currently the most active participant in the world. However, I believe the United States should pursue a more retrenchment role, reigning in the military and its use to a more responsible rate. The costs of US defense spending are massive and unsustainable; while the frequency of wars continue to increase. Furthermore, massive military spending to support other countries incentivizes allies to forgo their own defense spending, viewing it as unnecessary. The…

All good things must come to an end…or so they say. Of course, James Bond apparently never got that memo – you know, because he seems to get younger and more ambitious with each passing decade. With that said, it’s impossible not to admire the fan base and longevity that this character has built for itself, stemming back to the 1950s. At the same time, it’s also terribly difficult not to admire the stylistic swagger that the current Bond, Daniel Craig, has brought to the ever-growing…

makes him so appealing? I think it is the fact he is an everyman, a superhero without superpowers he relies on his superior intellect, training, and an extravagant budget to make him a force to be reckoned with while dealing with the most frightening rogues gallery in all of comicdom. Maybe it is just the mask, what woman doesn’t love a mysterious man. A member of the Justice League, he is often fighting side-by-side Superman, and Wonder Woman, among others. It’s really isn’t that surprising…

Making Ethical Decisions For me, ethical decisions take careful consideration and a great deal of critical thinking. I try to think of multiple outcomes that my ultimate decision may cause, as well as my confidence in that decision. If I don’t feel completely comfortable with a decision that I’ve made, then it’s an indication I need to analyze the situation and possibly more before coming to a final conclusion. When this option isn’t available, due to time constraints or other hindrances, I put…

Many people are afraid of robots because of how robots are portrayed in science fiction. The problem here is that people use these stories as examples of how robots will take over the world even though the robots in the story are the product of the writer’s imagination. Science fiction assumes that robots will turn on mankind because it makes for an interesting conflict, not because it’s the most likely event. It’s the same way as with zombie stories - a strange, antagonizing force is made up to…

While The Underdogs: A Novel of the Mexican Revolution written by Mariano Azuela depicts the character Demetrio Macias, an Indian man, who joins forces in the revolutionary army of Francisco “Pancho” Villa and rises up the ranks from a local leader to a general. Taking place during the time of the Mexican Revolution (1910 - 1920) the conflict began as an attempt by a middle-class movement to overthrow the dictatorship of Porfirio Diaz (1876 – 1911) with the goal of establishing meaningful,…
