In the movie Stardust, a star had fallen from the sky creating chaos and talk amongst people everywhere. This is because many people want an eternal life or one filled with many riches. In the movie Stardust, Tristan Thorn is brought through many different situations in which he must decide his and others’ fates. Tristan evolves from his original state to a new advanced person due to the experiences he goes through. At the beginning of the move Tristan motives were selfish. To explain further, Tristan says that he originally thought of his mom before switching to thinking about Victoria and the star when he crashes into Yvaine. This means that he thought that a girl was more important than his own mother. This is a selfish thing to do …show more content…
This is what helps Tristan to be brave and courageous later on in the movie. Not only that, but because of Captain Shakespeare’s teaching Tristan was able to defend himself. In the long run it is proven that Tristan changes for the better because of his interactions with Captain Shakespeare. At the end of the story Tristan has transformed into a better person in comparison to the selfish person he was at the beginning of the movie. Towards the end of the movie he realized that if Yvaine crosses the wall she will turn into stardust, so he rushes back to try and prevent her from crossing the wall. This is an act of love and selflessness because he goes out of his way to help Yvaine. In addition to that, this shows that Tristan is now taking others into consideration even if they won’t benefit him. However when Tristan realizes that the witches have taken her, he races back to rescue her. When Tristan gets to the witches’ house he tells his mom to leave to put her out of danger while he stays to fight to rescue Yvaine. This shows that Tristan had become a better person by being selfless to rescue his loved ones. Not only that, but Tristan knew he would be risking his life, but he still continued to fight. This shows a strong sense of bravery and reformation. Therefore, Tristan had evolved from his original self. From these experiences that impact Tristan’s characteristics we can see that

After he tries to save him and it failed he cut out his heart to send it home to be buried. Tristian’s life after this was just a lost.

Love caused Romeo and Juliet to take many risks. Romeo speaks to Juliet at the balcony while she is in the middle of private thought. (II.ii) It was a great risk for Romeo and Juliet to talk to each other from the balcony because one of the Capulets could catch Romeo. However, they desperately wanted to see each other and talked anyway. In Act 3 Scene 1, in response to Tybalt’s threat to fight, Romeo says “Gentle Mercutio, put thy rapier up.” (III.i.50) Instead of fighting Tybalt or fleeing from him, Romeo tries to take the pacifist approach and tell Tybalt to put his sword away and stop fighting. Because of his experience with Juliet, Romeo
William Shakespeare is a widely known poet and writer who lived in the 16th century. However, few know that he was also an actor who performed in many of his own and other playwrights plays. During his lifetime he wrote thirty seven plays, one hundred fifty four sonnets, many poems, as well as lost plays. One of his most well-known plays is Romeo and Juliet. In this play there are many unfortunate events that lead to Romeo and Juliet’s death. Friar Lawrence is the most to blame for the tragic events. He married Romeo and Juliet, failed to inform Romeo of their plans, and gave Juliet a sleeping potion.
The morals and values presented in his works speak to the audience, often offering a new perspective on the world in which they live. Students are affected by the powerful and complex characters and are rewarded with profound insights into human nature and behavior.I firmly believe that Shakespeare's works, like no other literature in the high school curriculum, challenge and invigorate the minds of students. Because of the complex characters, difficult vocabulary and style in which he writes, students must elevate their level of learning to grasp a clear understanding of his works. Shakespeare's plays hold intricate meanings and messages. His
Rick Yancey’s science fiction novel, “The Last Star,” takes place in a modern day society where the government has become corrupted and is now working against the human race. Most of the people left after the 5 waves, barely even try to stay alive. They know the odds of surviving is a lot to a little, so they think what is the point of staying alive a week longer. Although, a group of 6 people try their hardest and their best to stay alive. These 6 people are probably the only 6 people in their world that is trying to stay alive. And because they try their best, they end up surviving much longer than other people. This suggests that a possible theme for Rick Yancey’s “The Last Star” is that however much
Shakespeare uses the plot in his play to convey the fact that selfish acts such as revenge only cause pain for those involved. Romeo, for example, is severely punished for his
Tchaikovsky based one of his ballet’s on Romeo and Juliet as well. Later in the chapter Foster displays to us a list of popular lines that you may come across in literature composed by William. Lines such as, “To thine own self be true” or “To be, or not to be, that is the question.” But why do authors choose often times to quote Shakespeare in their pieces of work. Well Foster explains that writers use him to convey authority in their writing, “authority lent by something being almost universally known.” state's Foster.
The most common misconception is that reading Shakespeare is not worth your time and doesn’t help you in life. Professor, Michael Mack effectively argues the total disparate.

Clay plays for the Lone Stars. He is a wide receiver and he’s good at it too. He plays under Coach Coop. Coach Coop played for TCU. Clay was one of the best wide receivers in his division. The Pee Wee division that is. The Lone Stars were playing the River Walk Lions. Coach Coop called a cross play up the middle. Clay was getting ready to run his route and was being guarded by Bobby Flores a guy that moved out of their school district. David snapped the ball, and Clay made a cut to get him open. Clay noticed David had all the time in the world but noticed he led Clay by way too much.
Do you ever wonder why Shakespeare is still taught in high school. In high school, Shakespeare was shoved down our throats and I despised Shakespeare and his works. I thought that they were pointless and was just a way to torture high school students, but the more I think about what Shakespeare is trying to teach through his works. The more I respect and understand the themes and the language of his works. The more that you understand the more that you can relate, the more that you can relate the more that you can reflect on the things that you have learned. In this essay, I will argue that Shakespeare’s works are important to learn . I will support my argument by explaining the universal themes in Shakespeare’s
Do you believe reading Shakespeare is important? Mack thinks reading Shakespeare makes you smart. Mack produces an effective argument that Shakespeare makes you more smart or better to understand your emotions through his use of Rhetorical devices and giving the opponents counterclaim.
Shakespeare has been around for a long time and so many people have critiqued his work. They all take their interpretation and they think that it is right. There have been so many interpretations for Romeo and Juliet, which is Shakespeare’s most famous story. So many people have their own opinions on what Romeo and Juliet is really about. The problem is that everybody thinks that their interpretation is correct and there is no other way that the story could be read. Although Carolyn E. Brown, writer of “Juliet’s Taming of Romeo”, makes a good argument about how Juliet ‘tames’ Romeo in the story, I believe that in their relationship, they are equals.
Jack had never killed before, the strive of murdering a living thing was holding him back. Once he became his own leader, that strive of not harming a living organism was gone. “Jack was on top of the sow, stabbing downward with his knife” (Golding,216). The fact that everyone has violence as well as killing to stay alive. This shows that Jack let go of his “warm” heart and turned it “cooled”. Bertie on the other hand didn’t hesitate to change the appearance of his “peace toys.” “The municipal dustbin had been pierced with holes… John Stuart Mill had been dipped in red ink” (Saki,5). Bertie completely changed the peace toys into something impeccable. He has his mindset to violence because it is apart of human nature.
