There are ambient noises from the bugs on the frog’s skin (Del Toro). Also, there is ambient noise at the beginning of the Pale Man scene. When Ofelia walks, her shoes hit the floor. In the distant, babies scream as the portraits of slaughtered children are shown. The cracking of firewood is audible when the…

The pitfalls of jealousy can cause deception in two ways; not only can it obscure someone’s vision, as in the expression “blinded by jealousy,” but it also can lead them to deceive others. “O, sir, content you; I follow him to serve my turn upon him: we cannot all be masters, nor all masters cannot be truly follow’d. You shall mark many a duteous and knee-crooking knave, that, doting on his own obsequious bondage, wears out his time, much like his master’s ass, for nought but provender, and…

I think that if you're are older than a teenager then you think that kids lives are always easy. I know in my personal experience my mom tells me that my life is a lot easier than hers because I just had to go to school and do chores but she is the one who had to go to work and cook dinner so my life was never going to be as hard as hers. I actually believe differently and I think that actually growing up isn't as easy as some people think and it's important to know this because most older…

Scouts, choir, church, math tutoring, another TV marathon, I’m sure people have read Hamlet in a weekend. I was going to be fine. I could still get an A—Easy.…

Many times the conversation is based on the questions posed by the…

the opening scene, having one say “I come, Greymalkin” (I.i.9) and another “Paddock calls” (I.i.10). Elizabethan theatre-goers would have easily recognized these as references to familiars: evil spirits who took animal form (in this case, a cat and a toad, respectively) and assisted the witches. Shakespeare makes these sorts of allusion all throughout the play, indicating that he wanted the witches to be associated with the superstitions of the…

This has caused the extinction of animals, spreading of diseases, and conflicts within the sea. In 1999, the death of the last Golden Toad in Central America was marked to be the first documented species that were compelled toward extinction by climate change ("Wildlife at Risk...”1). In addition to climate change, global warming have affected the animal’s distribution and…

It was as if when God created Erik Raison, He had reached a mighty hand into a bag of talents and showered them like rain over the child's cradle. There was hardly any other explanation for the myriad gifts that the man possessed. He composed renowned and respected music, and it was said that he had the voice that could sound like an angel from heaven above for a demon from hell below. It wasn't enough that he could create beauty with his voice, was it? It seemed that the Almighty had one last…
