Perhaps to rid himself of something Ginsberg wrote 'Kaddish,' a poem about his mother's insanity and death. His celebrity grew as the 'Beat' concept evolved from an idea into a movement and then into a cliche. In the early sixties, Ginsberg threw himself into the hippie scene. He and Timothy Leary worked ... Boulder, Colorado. In the early eighties Ginsberg joined the punk rock movement, appearing on the Clash's 'Combat Rock' album and performing with them on stage.

He never moved away from his apartment in the streets of New York City's Lower East Side, and would constantly be seen at local readings and gatherings, either on a stage ... review journal entries Allen had been keeping. The book was written while Allen was still alive and so I think this was also helpful. It would be interesting to find a book written after his death though, just to compare the points of view on Allen’s accomplishments.

- ... runs off the land, it carries fertilizers with it. Fertilizer helps stimulate the growth of algae because of the amount of nitrogen in it.

- 3023: Othello - The Greatest Tragedy
- ... tragedy is one that encompasses many different elements. Shakespeare presents all of these elements spectacularly in Othello. For a tragedy to occur there are five conditions. The protagonist, Othello in this case, must experience a death or a total loss of ranking in society. The audience must also be captured by the actors and feel some sort of connection to them. This is known as catharsis. In Shakespearean tragedies the protagonist always has a character defect or a tragic flaw. This tragic flaw along with pride will cause the protagonist to make an error in judgement leading him to his downfall and eventual death. These two elements are called hubris and hamartia. The unities of time, space, and action must also be followed. This means that the play must take place in a very short period of time, occur ... pride in being a man of high standing who will not be cheated on. Hamartia also comes into play where Othello believes that fate can be beaten by killing Desdemona.

Othello was truly a man consumed with pride and wrongly believed he he could defy fate and come out ...

Orsino, the duke of Illyria, is in love with Olivia. Olivia, however, decreed that due to her brothers death, she will not see a man for seven years. This does nothing to dissuade Orsino. In fact, it encourages him. Orsino was more in love with the idea of love, than he was in love ... Olivia is obviously feeling balances the ironic high comedy. In the end, everything works out and Orsino marries Viola. Throughout his works, Shakespeare portrays love in many ways. The dark love of "Othello" ends in death and tragedy, and the light love of "Twelfth Night" ends in laughter and merrymaking. No one portrayal is correct. By depicting love so differently, Shakespeare is showing us that the truth lies somewhere in ...
