- 6651: Hamlet: Hamlet Resembles A Real Person
- ... he cries out, "I lov'd Ophelia; forty thousand brothers could not, with all their quantity of love, make up my sum."(Act V, Scene 1) The ghost provides Hamlet with a dilemma. In Shakespeare's plays, supernatural characters are not always to be trusted; think of the three witches in MacBeth, who are instrumental in his downfall. Hamlet does not know whether the ghost is telling the 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 probably not as noble a king as Hamlet's father was, he is 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 ...
- 6652: A Separate Peace - A Journey T
- ... often based on a mutual need, and many people seek friends to fill breaches in there own lives. A perfect example is when Gene, who seems to be insecure about himself, is drawn to Finny's confidence and love for life. Their friendship was peculiar because they were opposite in many respects.

Even though it seemed like a strange and complicated friendship, Finny and Gene developed a strong bond. Unfortunately a strong bond could not withstand Gene's insecurities, as he faltered in Finny's unknown pressures of conforming. Another important theme is conformity. Conformity refers to the choices young people make regarding going along with the crowd and pursuing their own paths. They can either give in to ...
- 6653: Riefenstahl's Triumph of the Will: A Work of Art
- Riefenstahl's Triumph of the Will: A Work of Art Leni Riefenstahl’s Nazi documentary, Triumph of the Will, although technically dazzling and artfully made, belies the sinister and inhumane actions of the Nazi regime the film celebrates. Triumph of the Will, a propaganda film commissioned by Adolf Hitler, documents a 1934 Nazi Rally in Nuremberg, Germany. The film inventively presents the rally’s grandeur: swastika banners waving gaily, thousands of German people on their tip-toes, eager to see and hear Hitler’s address. Triumph of the Will, under Hitler’s authorization and Riefenstahl’s direction, glorified ...

- ... a ride, so I have to take the buses. Buses hardly ever come and when they do they are always fifteen minutes late. I hate late buses because usually when I wait for them it's freezing cold. Furthermore, when I get my job how am I supposed to get their in time with late buses. It takes me three hours to bus to Richmond to see my friends.

- 6656: The Glass Menagerie: Play Review
- ... All of the character problems were formed from deep psychological issues. I really enjoyed this play even though it was depressing a couple of points gave me hope but, then let me down again.

The novel shows the raptors escaping from their pens and venturing to the mainland on board a supply ship. It is because of this ... The opening scene is that of a frightfully mutilated workman being brought into a medical clinic by military officers. The author continually gives clues, such as obvious lies by the officers about how the man's injuries occurred, that this is not a typical attack. Soon after this incident another mysterious attack occurs. This time a young girl is bitten by an 'unknown' lizard on a Costa Rican beach along with ... witnesses, carnivorous. It also had the now impossible task of standing on its tail. Foamy, 'prehistoric' saliva was also found on the victims' bite marks. The only event in the film that resembles the novel's beginning is the grisly death of the workman. There is no mention of the 'mystery lizard' or the infant deaths. Instead, the opening scene of the movie shows the workman being dragged into a ...
