... taught by route memorization and physical punishment for incorrect answers. Anyone who has been "rapped on the knuckles" by a nun with a ruler can attest to this fact. The one thing that a student needs in life is structure. Without this, he or she cannot function in a school environment. When a bell rings, you must go to class. When a teacher assigns homework, you do it. No questions asked. No individual thought. The only marrow that should be sucked out of a students life is that of education. That, after all, is why they are in school. To learn and no other reason. In the end, it should be noted that although Mr. Keating's teaching philosophy was debunked, ...
... Polonius he will not tell anyone where the body is. Instead, he assumes his ironic state, which others perceive as madness. "Not where he eats, but where ‘a is eaten. A certain convocation of political worms a e'en at him." (Act IV, scene III, lines 20-21) Hamlet's behavior throughout the play, especially towards Ophelia, is inconsistent. He jumps into Ophelia's grave, and fights with Laertes in her grave. During the fight with Laertes in Ophelia's grave, Hamlet professed how much he loved her when he said, "Forty thousand brothers could not, with all their quantity of love, make up my sum" [Act V, scene I, lines 272- 274). However, Hamlet told her that he ...
... first scene of the play, when Iago expresses his jealousy of Cassio. Iago is a non-commissioned officer who is experienced and ambitious. Instead of appointing Iago who had plenty of experience on the battlefield, Othello appoints "a great arithmetician, one Michael Cassio, a Florentine . . . that never set a squadron on the field" (1.1.19-22). Michael Cassio was more of an intellectual type, a book learner, and a student of military science. Iago only proves good at fighting, whereas Cassio has the tactical knowledge to effectively lead and win in battle. To make matters worse, Cassio is also a foreigner, from Florence, and he is of higher status and family ...
... magazines. His views about everything under the sun, from the government to kitchen furniture, would probably appear regularly in the colour supplements. His face would be familiar on television talk shows, his voice well-known from radio broadcasts. There would be so much recorded evidence about his life and his opinions that it would not be hard to write about him. Shakespeare, however, lived some four hundred years ago in the reign of Queen Elizabeth I, when there was no tele-vision or radio, nor even any newspapers as we know them today. Although he was respected as an important person in his own lifetime, nobody ever thought of writing about him until w ...
... maintain its control over Northern Ireland. 2. Democracy. While the film does not directly address this issue, it is understood that the people of Northern Ireland have the right to elect its representative to the British Parliament. However, the British Government maintains its authority on which political parties are allowed to run for election during the period when the movie took place. The British government also does not allow the territory the right to vote on its own sovereignty. The British government official depicted in this film is of the strong overpowering domineering type that will go to all lengths to maintain its hold on the Northern Ireland ...
... God is the only one she believes in making the rules for her and others. Secondly, Antigone knows that she is going to die due to Creon's death sentence, but Antigone is not going to be killed easily. From reading this book, Antigone defends her belief of God's having the power of making the rule's, not a King, such as Creon. Antigone say " I don't consider your Pronouncements so important that they can just........ overrule the unwritten laws of heaven. You are a man, remember." Antigone says that he is only man and that he does not have the power to make the rules, only God does. " Ashamed of what? Ashamed of being Loyal to my own family, my own brother? ...
... absent at Sunday service. This was due to the fact he needed to tend to his crops. Also, Proctor did not agree with the appointment of Mr. Parris as the newest minister, and therefore did not have his last child baptized. With the latest craze of witchery and swirling accusations, John Proctor was easily indicted of being a messenger for the devil by the testimony of his disillusioned servant Mary Warren, who in the past committed perjury. The court who heard the testimony easily accepts it because she is a church going person, while John Proctor slightly deviates from the norm. This transfer of blame is also noticeable when the truth is first discovered about w ...
... had, he said to her, "No, no, Abby. That's done with," and, "Abby, you'll put it out of mind. I'll not be comin' for you more." Even when Abigail tried to persuade Proctor to admit his love for her, he still denied it and claimed he had no love for her any longer. She said to him, "I know how you clutched my back behind your house and sweated like a stallion whenever I came near! Or did I dream that? It's she put me out, you cannot pretend it were you. I saw your face when she put me out, and you loved me then, and you do now." In all of Abigail's persuasion to try to get him to admit his love for her, Proctor replied, "Abby, I may think of you softly from ...
... is constant in all other things Save in the office and affairs of love: Therefore all hearts in love use their own tongues; Let every eye negotiate itself And trust no agent." (Shakespeare) So let it be known, Shakespeare obviously learned a great deal about love throughout the course of his life. He learned not only the good, but also the bad, and in this, love plays a major role in Much Ado About Nothing (Wright 10- 13). Another element used in Much Ado About Nothing is deceit. This deceit involves a conflict between two brothers in which one wants to keep the other unhappy and unwed. This conflict is present as it is said, "There' ...
... did. Much to Jonathan's surprise , the aunts killed just as many men without the plastic surgery , without the running , they just sat right there . "Charge…" we hear as Teddy Brewster runs up the stairs. This caracter brings out the most comedy in the picture. Teddy is the only character in the movie that proves to be insane in my opinion. Any man who thinks he is a dead president (TDR) has to have some problems. The plot unfolds when Mortimer Brewster finds out about his aunts secret after finding a present in the window seat . Mortimer panics and runs all over trying to take care of his aunts and keep them safe at the same time. Most of the time in this ...
