... committed on Duncan. This crime was planned by both Macbeth and Lady Macbeth. The actual murder was done by Macbeth, making him more guilty of the crime. Lady Macbeth just talked about committing the crime, but she never actually went through with it nor would she ever, and that is all that counts. Talking about committing the incident is very different from actually doing it. Lady Macbeth did a little more than just talk about it though. She also urged Macbeth into doing it and that is what makes her part of this crime, but she is not as guilty as Macbeth. He really didn't have to listen to what his wife said. Macbeth had a mind of his own and he could make ...

... 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 text ...

... that the 1990's reality can't be denied (Baltimore Sun; pg. 1G). Ann Klein's company's ads are some of the most striking ads that are carried in the main stream media. They have received only a few negative letters, but they've drawn a huge amount of attention (Baltimore Sun; pg. 2G). "We wanted the women to say, 'Hey,' and we have gotten a fantastic response," there's a fine line between doing something new, different and interesting, and angering your customer with offensive commercials that spoil their commercial intent. An Ann Klein spot that showed a man kissing a woman and beginning to unbutton her shirt, was not allowed to air by war ...

To amplify the situation, a group of girls are questioned by ministers for performing witch-like rituals in the forest. A Puritan belief of the 17th century is that the devil and other demons live in the forest, and that witchcraft is performed there as well. Dissembling citizens begin to accuse others of witchcraft, with a very selfish motive. As John Proctor de ...

... for his beliefs. He believed that if he were to bend to the courts, he would not only set a bad example for the rest of the innocent, but in the eyes of God as well. Proctor was an individual who was trying to help for the good of the society. Another person who symbolized individualism would be Abigail Williams. Williams, as an individual twisted the courts into taking the life of the one person who stood in her way, Goody Proctor. Williams was an individual even though she was with her friends because she only thought about what she wanted. She took lead and influenced the girls and the courts to believe follow her, and accomplish her wants or needs. Purit ...

... are still signs of the old style of writing in them, just like there are in most plays. For example, these three plays use the same motifs in their main themes, in fact they all use pretty much the same themes, and have the same morals. Just like plays passed on from generation to generation, modern plays also have morals in them, and many of those morals are similar. For example, the theme of Antigone and Oedipus was that we should listen to others, and we shouldn't think that we are always right, because there are always people who know more than we do. The theme from The Effects of Gamma Rays on Man in The Moon Marigolds is very similar. They all teach us t ...

... began buying The Transformers action figures; which were developed by Hasbro from the television series. Over the years, I accumulated a collection of about thirty different characters; which I still have stored in my room. I don't think I could ever get rid of them. Also, each Transformer came with a stat card on the back of the box he was sold in that described his various skills and attributes. I used to always cut these stat cards from the back of the boxes, and tape them onto large sheets; which I hung on my bedroom wall. Along with the action figures, I also had Transformer books and Transformer bedsheets. I couldn't get enough of the Transformers. I saw ...
