We Didn't Start the Fire

In act IV scene 7, we continue to see how smart and manipulative Claudius can be. Every one of his moves seems to be calculated. He didn’t want to punish Hamlet for Polonius’s murder because it would hurt Gertrude. It might seem like Claudius actually cares about her in this scene. He says that, “She [Gertrude] is so conjunctive to my life and soul” (IV, vii, 15). But this care seems far from genuine. Claudius is definitely acting in this scene. He doesn’t genuinely care for Gertrude. The only…

stressed that we have to go through each one of them. Especially since Grandma is opening them with us, she’s going to want to see what every college has to offer. Moni and I do our “shimmy handshake,” and then get down to business. Letter by letter, we go through. Most people would have probably been jumping for the hills with a full scholarship to any D1 college, but not us. We see all the big names and it doesn’t phase us because we know what they have really to offer. As my butt starts to…

Ponyboys parents had died in a car accident just a couple of months before this story takes place. Darry, which was the oldest, was left in charge of his two younger brothers. They were told to not get into any trouble or else Ponyboy and Sodapop would be sent off to a boys home. Ponyboy was in a group…

This book was usually for my liking because I don’t really read about religious things that much. So this was much out of my comfort zone. It starts out with on how Japan is still the highest of currencies. This is after all of the recessions have happened. I was surprised because Japan and China help Americas out by some much. It seems like a lot of the east countries like Asia, Japan, China, etc. are doing very well. Well as in, they are not having money problems, no crime, and everything is…

This is where he loses his fears of bats. Bruce didn’t agree with the methods of the league, Ducard tells Bruce, “When Gotham falls, the…

They sacrificed their lives in their hometowns for us. They believed that America was a steady location for the start of a family. They may be…
