... of today. What better place to get the public informed about your reasons and purpose for attacks than the news. Albert gave a good definition of terrorist's objectives when he stated: "Terrorists try to exercise influence over targeted officials on nations through intimidation of the public and arousal of sympathy for the social and political causes they espouse. Without widespread publicity, terrorist acts can achieve neither of these effects" (Bandura, Albert qtd. In Nacos 1). Terrorists need the news media to get the publicity, and the media is a willing accomplice. The news media is an accessory to terrorism, and as such they should develop a set of st ...

... He said, "The people feel sorry for Antigone. They say it isn't equitable that she must die." God spoke to her and she acted upon the support of a loved one. She did what she did knowing would smile upon her and the dead would welcome her. Creon is what the civil law is. Polynices, the unburied, brother of Antigone, fought against Thebes, making him undeserving of a grave according to Creon. All that Polynices was doing was following his own morals. He believed in the other side, whatever that may have been, and he gave his life for it. Creon, being closed minded, lashed out before taking the time to weight the circumstances, and being so hasty in his d ...

... by the coffee shop in a cab, and asked her if she wanted to make a quick two hundred bucks. And so, she did. At first, she was amazed at how easy it was to make a living as a trick. In the process of being a trick, she had developed her own philosophy about how all women are tricks just like her. She points out that women are taught at a very young age to be prostitutes. For example, women are told to “ Hold out for the highest bidder,” and “Don’t sell yourself cheap,” These types of statements are always being address to women in society. In the prostitute’s eyes, she is no different than any other woman. Another character in the play “Working” that stole my atte ...

... everybody watching that Bottom had made a mistake. This type of humor, while obvious, sometimes doesn't portray the meaning correctly. Inferred humor is sometimes more suited for this. Shakespeare used something like inferred humor to get across some other meanings that added to the play. One good example is the character of Puck. Puck is a hyperactive child that gets into a lot of mischief. His attitude toward his tasks is sort of a light and airy one. He does not take life seriously, he only does what is fun. This type of character is totally different than everyone else in the play; they are in a serious tone, while Puck is just dancing around pulling pra ...

... his conception of justice is too exclusive... to be dignified by the name of love for the state" (Hathorn 59). These arguments, and many others, make many people believe the Antigone is the rightful protagonist. Many critics argue that Creon is the tragic hero of Antigone. They say that his noble quality is his caring for Antigone and Ismene when thier father was persecuted. Those who stand behind Creon also argue that Antigone never had a true epiphany, a key element in being a tragic hero. Creon, on the other hand, realized his mistake when Teiresias made his prophecy. He is forced to live, knowing that three people are dead because of his ignorance, which ...

... of this theme will be on Salesman's value as a comment on society. Willy does not meet America's twentieth century economic standards of success, therefore he is seen as a failure; he absolutely will not entertain the possibility of finding a job more suitable to his talents, even though perhaps he could function as a member of society if he did; and he lives in a deluded bubble, angry, self-righteous, too proud for his own good... qualities that simply do not survive in America's production-based, time-crunch, fast-food and fast talk society. The play opens with Linda, the loving and ever-supportive wife, welcoming Willy home from another grueling and fruitles ...

... is set in Elizabethan England with present day concerns like doing what makes us happy despite what others think is morally acceptable. The use of the Globe Theatre expresses the difference in times, but the importance of entertainment. The film demonstrates the way plays were acted out solely by men. This illustrated the lack of belief that a woman could put on an act as well as a man. However, in this movie, the part of Juliet winds up being acted out by a woman much to the surprise of the audience. In response to this the people are appalled and feel that she should be punished for taking on the role that only a “ man” should do. The queen’s re ...

... to the first, except instead of implicating his brother to his father, it implicates his father in a plot with France to kill The Duke of Cornwall. The King decides that Gloucester’s supposed treachery cannot be tolerated and orders that his eyes be torn out. At this point, Edmund seems to be unequivocally evil. This is undoubtedly false. Two of the other characters of the play, Goneril and Regan surely equal Edmund’s ferocity in their quest for power. Our first glimpse at the two surely begins to prove that fact. In this scene, the King asks that each of his three daughters profess their undying love to him before he distributes parts of the kingdom to them. G ...
