- ... develop the plot and reveal the characters' attributes. Three letters help to develop the plot and reveal the characters of Edmund, Gloucester, Goneril and Albany.

- 11522: Paradise Lost
- ... realize that there are many problems. The towers of heaven are guarded with armed watch and there is almost no way we can get through them. If we surprise them at night and cover Heaven's purity with the blackness of hell we may have a small chance of making it past the tower. Even if we did that, God would sit on his throne unmoved. If we go up against ... we laid in the burning lake? That surely was worse. What if the air that keeps those hot fires going blew seven times as hard and covered us in flames? Or if, from above, vengeance's arm should come down upon us and plague us? What if all of the holes in Hell were opened and fire shot out of every crevasse? War, I think, is a bad idea. How can ... his anger and we may then not be punished so severely and these raging fires may slacken. Future days may bring something good and we should wait and find out what that may be."

- 11523: The Tempest: Bringing It All Together

In 20 lines Shakespeare is able to write an excellent ending to his play, while speaking through his characters about Shakespeare's own life and career. Even more amazingly, he seemlessly ties the two together. In the context of the story Prospero's monologue makes perfect sense. He has lost his magical power, so his "charms are o'erthrown, and what strength [Prospero] have's [his] own, which is most faint." He is now "confined" on the ...

Thomas Jefferson wrote;"All men are created equal" but died leaving his blacks in slavery. In 1775 black Americans were sent to fight in the revolutionary army. The British ... enlist. Only Georgia and South Carolina refused to let them enlist, but paid for their racism when each lost 25,000 blacks to the British. The slaves returned on an honourable discharge after securing America's freedom, but not their own. Slavery continued and so did the numbers of slaves trying to escape to the free states or into Canada. A runaway slave would be found by bloodhounds, trained to ...

JULY 1939: It has been a long and worrying summer, I am now fearing for my sister's life since I have heard nothing at all from her. I think she may have been harmed by those pogroms ordered by those Nazis. Today, the Shabbat (the Sabbath), as I was coming back from ... of fighting, Blitzkrieg; lighting war. There was a knock on the door. There was silence. Assuming the inevitable, we dismally gathered our meek possessions together and prepared to disembark. The door was opened. A woman's head could be seen extruding around its burred edges. It was Erika. We leapt in utter ecstasy, she was barley alive but where was her husband? SEPTEMBER 5th 1939: After breaking down on our doorstep ... with sorrow and anguish. "Julian" she said in a frail voice, "You must leave, they did this to me, they are coming, they drove us from our home with racial violence and torture. I can't quite explain it, the pain, the lament, the violence; they've killed him! Julian, they've killed my husband!!!" With this she collapsed in to a pool of tears. We all were effected by ...

They therefor forgot the fundamentals, which could be easily understood.
