Brutus' speech becomes one of strict vindication, not only for the people of Rome, but for Brutus himself. He uses his "honor and nobility" as a shield to defend and justify his actions to the crowd.

The Red Badge Of Courage
Words: 544 - Pages: 2.... is the disinterest that nature plays in the affairs of the soldiers of war. For example, after escaping the battle, Henry Fleming seeks refuge in the woods. He notices that the woods seal out the sound of battle and ignores the human conflict taking place: "It seemed now that nature had no ears"(34). Lastly, the positive outlook is the third characteristic of realism. Henry is overwhelmed with fear and abandons the war.

Lord Of The Flies - Comparison
Words: 555 - Pages: 3.... clearly notice how Piggy feels and that he is being treated as an "Outsider" but, in the film version it restricts the audience's comprehension of Piggy's emotions. Similarly, other characters such as Simon and Roger are so unclear in the movie that they may puzzle viewers because the movie fails to distinguish their role. The cinema is unsuccessful in establishing Simon as a "Christ" figure and Roger's murderous nature.

Therefore, due to the film's inability to give audiences more information about the characters, their role and their emotio .....

When his mother questions him, Hamlet says, "Seems, madam? Nay it is. I know not seems" (Act I, Scene 2). By saying this, Hamlet lets Gertrude know that he is what she sees, distraught and torn over his father’s death. Later, he makes a clear statement about his state .....

The most noticeable example of harm is how PC proponents try to please everyone at the same time. The burning of the bruin was just one of many activities held during the week before the big UCLA game. The idea being that everyone could find something that they could identify with and rally around their school.
