... is very useful in discovering the meaning of the book if the reader encountered difficulty in reading it. I found the movie to be interesting and at the same time follow the book almost completely. In the small portions of it our class watched I could not even think of any differences between the text and the film. I also found the film to be one of good quality. The sound, special effects and actors were all good, unlike most of the films that we have watched in this class before. I would recommend that someone should defiantly watch this film after reading this book to grasp a better meaning of the story. The visualization of the characters in the te ...
... to give Juliet counsel. "Talk not to me, for I'll not speak a word./Do as thou wilt for I have done with thee." (III, v, 214-215) Lady Capulet is angered by Juliet's choice and wishes "I would the fool be married to her grave." (III, v, 145) Juliet's parents betray Juliet by not supporting Juliet's pleas for the marriage to be delayed a year. Capulet and Lady Capulet do not know Juliet is married to Romeo, a fact that may have, yet not likely altered these circumstances. Her parent's betrayal causes Juliet to look for comfort from the Nurse. The Nurse also fails to support Juliet's choice against marrying Paris. Instead of supporting Juliet the Nurse instead beli ...
... spoken thoughts alone prove him to be sane. By his own words, Hamlet is feigning, and it is that his pretend madness is never assumed except in the presence of the king or those whom he considers the king’s agents (Hankins 127). The train of events from the death of his father to the revelation of the ghost has profoundly disturbed Hamlet. He realizes it himself and fears that the excitement within him may betray his secret. He knows well that it is beyond his power to suppress it altogether, and so he pretends to be mad. Any slip of the tongue about his secrets will seem like the uttering of a mad man, and his real thoughts will be unknown to those around ...
... deeper into debt, and they had to pledge the next year’s crop as payment. Sharecropping soon became a thing of the past. Mechanical cotton pickers were invented, which worried sharecroppers. These machines could greatly do more work than by hand, and would be cheaper than to pay field hands to work for them. So the sharecropping was obsolete, and African Americans were driven out of their jobs and even homes. This lead to the migration of African Americans. It was hard for them, because they did not want to leave their families and communities. Chicago seemed to be the most common place to go, because of the highways and trains lead straight to there. Ch ...
... loves him according to her bond, no more nor less . This response angers Lear and causes him to ban her for her refusal to comply. Lear is held to the belief that she does not love him. He believes that the daughter which had loved him the most (and who he loved the most) has broken his heart. He is suspicious and bans her because he thinks that she is the only daughter who doesn't love him. It is Lear's rashness which prevents him from seeing that she is speaking the truth. It is the same rashness which leads him to believe that Goneril and Regan are being truthful. Kent believes that Lear is wrong and openly tells him so. He says in a straightforward ma ...
... Oedipus’s parents trying to kill him only leads to the death of his father and the downfall of Oedipus: “Shepard: I pitied the baby, my king,/ And I thought that this man would take him far away/...He saved him-but for what a fate!/For if you are what this man says you are,/No man living is more wretched than Oedipus.” (lines 64-69).

Instead of leaving what he was proficied to do he runs right into his fate. On a road leading to Thebes he unknowingly “I know;/ I lear ...
... his difficulty of fitting and acquiring new friends that he can socialize with. Thus he became a shy boy that pretty much kept to himself. Jeremy's characteristic that distinguished him from the rest of society in which he lived in. Although he was persecuted, beaten, and ridiculed at. He understood his characteristics and understood why the boys hated him It was fear! 3. I respect Jeremy's caring. Like Christ himself, he wouldn't fight or use any sort of violence to resolve problems. Jeremy would speak his words of wisdom, or use his divine powers of mental stability and force to express a point. He would, without hurting anyone, prove a point. This charac ...

He is still mourning his fatherÕs death, and he is very angry at his funcle and his mother for marrying so soon, but he is not crazy. When Hamlet first learns from ...
... letting his toothpick hang just so from the side of his mouth. In God of Gamblers, Chow plays a gambler who gets a bump on his head that turns him into some quasi- autistic prodigy, like Dustin Hoffman in Rain Man. Chow retains his intuitive skill at playing cards, but now he must be pacified by constant pieces of chocolate that he scarfs greedily, goofy smile on his face. Blowing smoke, dangling his toothpick, eating chocolate, or just smiling ... ultimately, when trying to explain why Chow Yun-Fat is cool, it comes down to his mouth. Everything I have said so far describes a subjective reaction to watching Chow Yun-Fat on the screen. Fill in the name of your ...
