- 3035: Macbeth - Independence And Failure
- ... king and thanes. The thanes fought "rebellious arm 'gainst arm" to curb "his lavish spirit" (I, ii, 56-7).

- 3036: Macbeth - Foreshadowing Using Animals

- 3037: Romeo And Juliet 2
- ... adults . Another victim of the Capulet and Montegue conflict was Mercutio. When Tybalt and Mercutio were fighting, Mercutio was badly wounded by a sword. He then cries, A plague a both your houses, blaming his death on the house of the Montegue and the Capulets. The feud was probably all started by the parents who then passed it down to their children who were taught to hate one another. This shows another example that young ones can suffer from adults actions. Tybalt was another sacrifice to the Capulet and Montegue households. He was killed by Romeo while avenging Mercutio s death. If it wasn t for the conflict started between the Montegue and Capulet house, neither Mercutio or Tybalt would have been killed.

- 3039: Who Was Jesus?
- ... But, it seems that things that happen in Acts are like a contradiction to Jesus. The biggest example is the administration of Punishment to people. Some particularly bothersome stories are: (Acts 5:1-11) The death of the husband and wife for not presenting 100% of their possessions to the Church. And, (Acts 12:23) the violent death of Herod. Also, (Acts 13:11) blindness to Bar-Jesus. Although my Bible, in all three cases, tells that Angels or God had punished these people, I could believe that a different translation could accurately suggest that the deaths were caused by people of the church (the translation is fuzzy in that sense). Either way, no matter who caused the death(s), it seems that these kinds of punishments would not happen if Jesus were around; He always seemed to bless those who did wrong to Him. From stories in Acts, I can see how ...
