creates the argument that women in that time were seen as feeble characters, therefore Shakespeare was mistreating her. However, there could be an argument that Desdemona’s death was inevitable because of fate- she is described as the “ill-starred wrench” mirroring her name meaning. This combined, with the fact that she is often described as an angel, suggests that she is a heavenly creature and- like Lucifer- has to have her fall. Othello demonstrate this by putting her on a pedestal, when he…

The odds of being involved in a plane crash are 1 in every 1.2 million flights, and the likelihood of actually dying is 1 in 11 million. It's a situation no one would hope to find themselves in, but the boys in Lord of the Flies did. In this story of wartime, power, survival, and hunger, students transform into uncivilized maniacs. Currently, men and boys act much differently compared to in the 1900s. Their behaviors and interests differ drastically, but some things never change. Therefore, if…

The issues that are brought up in this question deal with the concept of Offer and Acceptance, Agreement and Counter-offers. The main question that one should ask is: was there a binding contract between Cory and Eve? between Cory and Dan? or none? There is an initial unilateral offer of £300 put forward by Cory in order to sell his computer. The duration for which the offer is open to acceptance is not specified as it indicates no fixed time limit in which the offeree has to act, thus it will…

White is struggling to let her undead son into the house. "There was another knock, and another. The old women with a sudden wrench broke free and ran from the room. Her husband followed to the landing, and called for her appealingly as she hurried downstairs. He heard the chain rattle back and the bottom bolt drawn slowly and stiffly from the socket." This is an excellent quote…

The stillness of the air seemed to suck even the sound of my footfalls into the nothingness of a graveyard. Even the trees seemed not to rustle as if they were tense with nerves for what was to come. I could describe it as creepy, but eerie was closer to it. Everything was the same yet different. The fall trees stood naked as they had before, but their twigs curled in a distorted way, as if the tree itself screamed in pain.

An oft-repeated argument in favor of American imperialism was that it was justified because it spread the American ideals of democracy and liberty to people who lived without them. In an 1896 speech before congress, President Grover Cleveland observed that Cuban rebels were encouraged by “the widespread sympathy the people of this country always and instinctively feel for every struggle for better and freer government.” This American affinity for democracy would translate into arguments for…

It becomes rather stressful and harrowing to figure out where…
