- 13111: Hamlet: Playing the Roles
- Hamlet: Playing the Roles In William Shakespeare's Hamlet, the protagonist exhibits a puzzling, duplicitous nature. Hamlet contradicts himself throughout the play, endoring both the virtues of acting a role and that of being true to one's self. He further supports both of these conflicting endorements with his actions. This ambiguity is demonstrated by his alleged madness, only to become perfectly calm and rational an instant later. These inconsistencies are related with the internal dilemmas he faces. He struggles with the issue of revenging his father's death, vowing to kill Claudius and then backing out, several times. The reason for this teetering is directly related to his inability to form a solid opinion about role playing. This difficulty is not ...

- 13113: Macbeth - GUILTY
- ... be brief. You have heard the testimonies and seen the evidence; it is now time for the fate of Macbeth to be decided. Today you have met scores of witnesses testify, under oath, the defendant’s entirely good and honest character, and have pondered as to how the King of Scotland could commit such atrocities. However, unmistakable evidence opposes such testimonies and proves beyond reasonable doubt that the defendant Macbeth killed ... out of pure greed and ambition. His servant, as testified, overheard Macbeth express his guilt to his wife on the night of the murder: “I am afraid to think what I have done; Look on ‘t again I dare not.” Following his crowning at Scone, King Macbeth hired three assassins to murder his long-time friend Banquo, in order to protect his crown. It was after the murder of Banquo that ... King, they only speculated as to what the future may hold and these predictions ignited his overwhelming ambition to become King.

- ... fear of one thing .becoming fat. Eating disorders such as Anorexia Nervosa are slowly gripping a part of the female adolescent to young adult population.

- 13115: America 2
- ... requires many actions and reactions, plus unity and nationalism. The American Colonies were strained to the limit before they became one to battle injustice. England had put forth too many acts and duties against it's American colonies for them not to rebel. For example, the Stamp Act. The Stamp Act was introduced by the British prime minister George Grenville and passed by the British Parliament in 1765 as a means ... resolved to defend their liberties ad infinitum against every power on Earth that may attempt to take them away." Americans realized that England was stealing their rights, and they began to join together. It wasn't an individual against England, it was the country against England. Salutary Neglect was the cause of all American problems. It was the precursor to all the troubles. Salutary Neglect was the negligence of England toward the colonies for reasons such as war or distance. Letting the America's live one way for decades, then becoming strict on them, did not work for either the colonies or Britain.

- 13116: Dsl Should Be The Standard For Telephone Lines
- ... Be the Standard for Telephone Lines There is a new technology being developed that would make standard phone lines digital instead of analog. This technology is called DSL, or digital subscriber line. Because of DSL's great superiority over our standard analog lines, all of the US's phone lines should be upgraded to DSL. One of DSL's advantages would be line sharing. Because of DSL's digital format, the data being passed over the lines can be easily compressed allowing for more bandwidth, which is the amount of data that can ...

- 13118: The Grapes of Wrath: Movie Review
- ... then what they were told. The government tried to start programs to house and employ people like the Joads. Since the people who already lived in the cities in which these developments were put didn't want them there anyway, they tried to start a riot and have the police Arrest them. Although in the movie the plan was foiled, it could have worked in many other places, or the towns ... eventually the people living in the development would leave. I believe that the economic situation of the country has a great effect on the fall, or succession of people like the Joads, but I don't believe government programs will effect them at all. For example, the great depression was a major economical event, and it greatly effected more then just people like the Joads, but programs like the public works administration which employed people for government construction projects. Another program, the Works Progress Administration, later called the Works Projects Administration was created to develop relief programs, and to keep a person's skills. From 1935-1943, it employed 8 million people, and spent 11 billion dollars. But in 1939, there were still 9.5 million still unemployed. Another program was the Civilian Conservation Corps. Unemployed, unmarried ...

Even though this type of warfare may have had ... seventeen nations is Iraq. Before the Gulf War in 1991, Iraq admitted to research and production facilities and in 1995 confessed to manufacturing anthrax spores, botulinum toxin, and aflatoxin for weaponry. In 1997, Sudaam Hussein’s banning of American inspectors from investigating their development of these weapons created a widespread public concern. The world was surprised to learn that Iraq had produced enough deadly microbes to kill all the people on ... Iraq was never able to master their bacterial agents. On the other hand, accidental and unpredictable situations can result from these weapons of mass destruction. In Europe, the smallpox epidemic that occurred in the 1970’s proved just how dangerous the release of these organisms could be. In 1979, when aerosolized anthrax was released from a Russian biological weapon manufacturing facility, the outcome was proven to be a lethal accident. ...

- Heroic Qualities In the Hobbit In the story The Hobbit Bilbo ends up being the hero in many situations. At first you would not consider him a hero by any of today's typical standards for one.
