Toad

God; almost like a warning to say that Richard is evil. However, Richard uses this deformity as an excuse of his immoral acts; he has decided to become a villain because of his deformity. For example, Richard was described as 'poisonous bunch-back'd toad' which shows how serious body deformity was considered. Therefore, Shakespeare is suggesting that Richard III's deformity is a manifestation of his soul and that we are actually supposed to see Richard not as a tragic hero but as what his…

Throughout the Renaissance, demarginalised groups of society were often neglected in favour of the elite, which mostly consisted of rich white men. For the most part, men resided over their wives and were the dominant members of the household and therefore society.

interesting dichotomy between his outward actions. Bruce obsesses over everything being exactly right. In chapter 5, he further stifles Alison’s creative expression by committing a “crayonic tour de force” (131) when he usurps Alison’s drawing of Frog and Toad because she colored the caravan midnight blue instead of canary yellow. Perhaps this obsession with perfection serves as a connection to Alison’s own OCD tendencies present in chapter 5, but in addition, Bruce compensates for lacking truth…

Tartuffe is a great example of someone willing to do whatever it takes to get what they want. They are the people who are willing to completely destroy other people's lives so that they can be ahead. Tartuffe is an example of how such greed and ignorance was used against people listening to a sermon in a church. It could be said that Wall Street bankers are a near perfect example of someone possessing those characteristics today. There are many more ways that people have infiltrated our lives…

Love is one of the most influential words that have ever continued as the commencing of…

My art I created for the Venus flytrap was created on Photoshop in order to properly illustrate the various characteristics of the carnivorous plant. Originally, I was going to paint the piece for this project, but over the course of the semester, I have been extensively learning the ins and outs of Photoshop in my Digital 1 class, and I decided to switch my project over to digital media. When I first sketched out my idea for this project, I created a very simplistic view of the flytrap catching…
