Barney Vs. Sesame Street
.... hygiene, the
airport and more. The child can have an overload of ideas for one day and get
all mixed up.
Both Barney and Sesame Street have songs in them. I found that Barney
had many more songs than Sesame Street. The songs are used as jolts and they
work well in getting the attention of the child. I found that the Barney songs
were much catchier than the Sesame Street songs. They were slower, and other
than the dancing, there was not much else happening. On Sesame Street, the
background was .....

Antigone: Civil Disobedience
.... “Look on me, you noble sons of Thebes- the last
of a great line kings, I alone, see what I suffer now at the hands of breed of
men- all for reverence, my reverence for the gods!” (page 106) This quote
illustrates how Antigone believed that the power of the gods was greater than
the power of any king. If she had obeyed Creon, she would have disobeyed the
stronger power of the gods which could have had more of a devastating result on
her.
Antigone shows us, thru Civil Disobedience, that breaking some of

The Divine Comedy: Dante
.... compassion at its best. Sending someone into hell to rescue another person
out of there. Great lengths were taken to help Dante return back to the
straight way. I do not believe such action was taken if Dante was to end up in
hell all along.
For some reason midway in Dante's life's journey he had gone astray and
at this point was searching for answers. I guess hell was as good a place to
start the search as any place. Something for sure had led him astray and Dante
was going to find out what it was. .....

Hamlet: Finding Courage To Die
.... a very intense, philosophical
personality. For this reason, he cannot take his life because he does not know
what happens after one dies. He is not positive of an afterlife, therefore he
doesn't have the courage to end his life.
"Now might I do it prat," (Beaty, 1363) is a soliloquy in which we see a
shift in Hamlet's rationalization. Hamlet, as his fathers only son, is seeking
revenge for his fathers death, but is afraid that a quick death for Claudius
would not be enough. Hamlet feels that waiting u .....

Hamlet: A Sane Man
.... I may act weird but to ignore my acts of madness for they are
just that, acts, and are in no way a sign of true madness. Only a sane and
rational person could devise such a plan as to act insane to convince others
that he is insane when he actually has complete control over his psyche.
Hamlet only acts mad when he is in the presence of certain characters.
When he is around Polonius, Claudius, Gertrude, Ophelia, Rosencrantz, and
Guildenstern he acts completely irrational. When Hamlet is around Horatio,
Ber .....

Human Flaws Of Orgon In Tartuffee

Pernelle shows the family trait that she shares with her son when she states:
"He's a fine man, and should be listened to."(I, i ,44), while speaking of
Tartuffe. Although they share this trait throughout the play, Orgon's eyes are
finally opened at the end of the play while his mother is still held by the
farce of Tartuffe.
Although Tartuffe is portrayed as the main character of the play, Orgon is
the character who should really be paid attention to the m .....

Macbeth: A Mature Man Of Established Character
.... energy and the euphoria which follows. He also rejoices no doubt in the
success which crowns his efforts in battle - and so on. He may even conceived of
the proper motive which should energize back of his great deed:
The service and the loyalty I owe,
In doing it, pays itself.
But while he destroys the king's enemies, such motives work but dimly at best
and are obscured in his consciousness by more vigorous urges. In the main, as we
have said, his nature violently demands rewards: he fights .....

Macbeth: Aristotelian Tragedy

Chorus. The Episode is that entire part of a tragedy which is between complete
choric songs. The Exodos is that entire part of a tragedy which has no choric
song after it. Of the Choric part the Parodos is the first undivided utterance
of the Chorus." Shakespeare follows this precise arrangement of parts to tell
his story of Macbeth. Macbeth is divided into five acts. It contains a
Prologue, Episode, Exodus, Parodos and Stasim .....
