- 9421: Creative Writing: The Big Scoop
- ... lovers or people who liked to hack. People exchanged disks everywhere in sight. There were all types of people sharing information about everything from the latest computer security weakness or newest computer virii to what new programs were released today. Forty year old men and women in suits and ties standing, talking, and exchanging information with kids age ten to fifteen who were dressed in skater outfits. In other places people from foreign countries spoke with Americans overlooking their differences. They all shared the same interest in hacking and computer technology.

- ... depict the characters past experiences. There are two incompatible personalities in the passage, Mrs. Chestney, the mother, which represents the transition from the old South, and Julian, the son, who represents the transition of the new South.

This purely expresses her growing experience in a southern manner ... different as opposed to his mother. For example, he daydreams about making black friends, and even bringing home a black lover. This statement is impossible, mainly because of his refusal to deal with the outside world and the general idiocy of his fellow.

- 9423: Hamlet: Hamlet Resembles A Real Person
- ... truth or not. If Hamlet had killed Claudius solely on the ghost's advice, he would certainly have been tried and put to death himself. There would probably have been a war to choose the new king. Being the humanitarian that he is, and taking account of his responsibilities as a prince and future king, Hamlet most likely would want to avoid civil war. Even though Claudius is a murderer, and ... still a king. He brings order to Denmark. Hamlet does not wish to plunge his country into chaos. He realizes that this will happen when he kills Claudius. Hamlet is unable to combine the spiritual world (in the form of his father's ghost) with the tangible, every-day world that surrounds him. There is much irony throughout this play. One occurrence of irony I found particularly striking was the fact that Hamlet effectively maneuvers himself into the same position as Claudius. Claudius had ...

- 9428: Macbeth
- Macbeth at the beginning of the play is portrayed as an honest, loyal and brave subject. It is at the scene when he first encounters the three witches with Banquo that we see something click inside of him. They prophecize that Macbeth, Thane of Glamis is also Thane of Cawdor ... and will be king. The witches also say Banquo will be father to a line of kings. He is enticed with the prophecy that he will become king and this thought, whether it is a new one to him or not, really starts to tug away at his morals, honor, integrity. His wife, Lady Macbeth, though describes her husband as "too full o' the milk of human kindness." To be king ... like a lunatic. Later Macbeth tells his wife that he is so far in, so "steeped in blood," that he cannot go back. The next day he goes to see the witches who give him new prophecies.

- ... over the film’s political status and social implications. While Joan Smith of The Guardian argued that the film’s “effect is perversely to reinforce the message that women cannot win,” Janet Maslin of the New York Times called the film “transcendent in every way.” Where Kathi Maio of Ms saw “powerful images of women who dare to feel anger against male violence and domination,” John Leo of US News and World Report saw “toxic feminisim.” Richard Grenier of Commentary ended his review asking, “Is the killer bimbo the way ahead?” (52) What I wish to suggest is that the tension between these opposed readings of Thelma ... of the film.
