Words: 1001 - Pages: 4.... a more serious look at women and their roles in television. The biggest difference between the two articles is that one is written in a scholarly tone (Wilcox) and the other is written in a popular writing tone (Parker).
To add to her own “fun” writing style, Parker uses many small paragraph’s to keep the readers interested. With no indentations and many one sentenced paragraphs the article seems to move quite fast and never getting boring although it is a long article. Using terms that are used daily and socially, adds to a pleasant feeling of comfort while reading the article. The format of this article is what makes it so easy .....

the history of Jediism, the current (as of the end of the last movie) status of
the religion, and offer some suggestions as to what we can expect from Jediism
in the future.
I. The Religion
To examine the future of religion as it relates to society, one must
first have an idea of the tenets and beliefs on which the religion is based.
Jediism is based solely on belief in the "force", a "Universal energy field that
surrounds us and permeates us". (O. Kenobi, SW) Stark and Bainbridge make the
point that any religion based on magic or magic-like rituals is fated to die out
unless the magic can work constantly and consistently. .....

Hamlet: Is He Insane?
Words: 725 - Pages: 3.... that, I, his sole son, do this same villain send to
heaven. Why, this is hire and salary, not revenge.” He says here that he has
his chance to kill his father's murder but, he is praying. By killing him while
he's praying his soul goes to heaven and this wouldn't be revenge. This is not
a thought of an insane person. An insane person would have completed the murder
at this opportunity. In Act III, scene I, line 55, “To be or not to be...”,
Hamlet displays his indecisiveness by thinking about suicide because of the
situation he is in. He would rather be dead than live with the thought of his
father's death going unavenged. He is .....

Julius Caesar: Conspiracy Theory
Words: 1355 - Pages: 5.... the ability to gain from Caesar's demise. Even if they were all acting for the greater good, no man can be held accountable for crimes he might commit in the future.
In a tragic play, the protagonist is plagued by a "fatal flaw" in his or her personality. Usually the flaw leads to the protagonist's demise or downfall. Brutus' fatal flaw is that he is too trusting. Brutus is an honorable man, who foolishly believes that those around him are just as honest and noble as himself. He just wants what is best for the Republic, and the conspirators convince him that Caesar's death is the best thing for the people. When a person becomes too .....

Macbeth: Man Of Established Character
Words: 1826 - Pages: 7.... and his evident joy in it is traceable in
art to the natural pleasure which accompanies the explosive expenditure of
prodigious physical energy and the euphoria which follows. He also rejoices
no doubt in the success which crowns his efforts in battle - and so on. He
may even conceived of the proper motive which should energize back of his
great deed:
The service and the loyalty I owe, In doing it, pays itself. But while he
destroys the king's enemies, such motives work but dimly at best and are
obscured in his consciousness by more vigorous urges. In the main, as we
have said, his nature violently demands rewards: he fights valiant .....

"Planet Of The Apes"
Words: 467 - Pages: 2.... an escape to
avoid capture and imprisonment by the apes if they had been able to communicate?
Yes, they would have been free to live as equals. The apes and the humans would
have been co-inhabitants of the earth rather than creatues in a superior-
inferior relationship. "Planet of the Apes" is a perfect example of why
language is so important.
Another reason I am disputing Mr. Burrough's opinion of this movie is its
strong message concerning how humans were treated by apes. When we watched
"Planet of the Apes," we cannot fail to notice the mutes are treated. They were
beaten, battered and bruised; they were attacked and assaulted; w .....

in his travels, he "met" a refrigerator who was named and a stove that was

refrain from taking better care of one than the other or taking them for
granted. He even made the parallel between the respect you have for these
objects and the respect you would have for your wife. With all of this in
mind, one must understand that this interpretation is one of the most
common of the modern world, a world entirely enthralled in the ideas of
science, however, it is an incorrect .....
