I think that in modern time, emotions haven’t really changed. They are something that everyone has and I don’t really think that they change from time to time. I still think that people still care about each other very much. Love is still very felt today. It I felt in the same way it always was. I think that when one that was close to you dies, you will have some sort of devastation. I think that one could be as devastated as Achilles was when Patroclus died, but I would thin .....

Gullivers Travels
Words: 576 - Pages: 3.... more land. This shows Swift’s sympathy for Ireland at that time.
Swift believed that politics and government were games. The “election” of “leaping and creeping” of the Lilliputians was the basis of choosing their government officials. The government was ran with people that could go under or jump over a stick. The entire notion of classes and ranks seemed to be stupid to Swift.

Twelve Angry Men
Words: 762 - Pages: 3.... collide. Set against mid-century America, the book revolves around the murder trial involving a troubled boy and his father.

In the beginning of the book, the twelve jurors file out of the court room, giving last glances to the defendant. The scene shifts into the jury room, where they slowly settle into their seats under the direction of the over-organized foreman. At first, based on their conversation, it seems that it will be a una .....

While the “wrong-doers” are being punished, the punishers .....

Pruning Trees
Words: 659 - Pages: 3.... Mostly we talk about the usual stuff: girls, sports, Nintendo, or devise some plan to get Mat. He’s the one nobody likes because he’s sort of a stuck up prettyboy. Once in a while we get into a serious controversial issue and argue all day about it. There’s always some trash talking from someone. Who can beat whom at a video game or at grubbing? Grubbing is a pruner’s term for wrestling; it’s what we do when we have a dispute instead of really fighting. Once in a while someone will be arguing about something and throw down their knives and go at it, in which case everyone in the field runs to watch. It’s the best e .....

Othello-values And Attitudes
Words: 2426 - Pages: 9.... the English were becoming more and more aware of the existence of other races in the world besides themselves.
There had been a lot of travelling and blacks were beginning to be used in Europe for the slave trade. During the time the play was written, the Queen of England had banned all blacks from entering the city. She spoke of them as “Negars and Moors which are crept into the realm, of which kind of people there are already here too many”. It seems that Shakespeare is almost mocking the Queen by characterising Othello as a black man who has a high ranking position in the Army and who marries a white aristocratic women, agai .....
