Metaphors are used throughout this song and give readers emotional images to help better understand what is occurring. Crosby and Bentley use metaphors like “It’s hard to see the pain behind the mask.” The little girl isn’t actually wearing a mask but because she is trying to hide the pain and acts like nothing is wrong so the word mask is used in the place of the pain that she is hiding. Another metaphor that is used is when the authors say that “her dreams give her wings and she flies to a place where she’s loved.” The little girl doesn’t necessarily have wings and is flying to a different place but the authors give an image of

The play Marisol was much different than what I had expected. The interpretations of the characters were interesting to me.

Wars have been fought for many different reasons through the years, and that holds true for the American Civil War (1861-1865). In Michael Shaara's Pulitzer Prize winning novel, The Killer Angels, the reasons for fighting the war are brought about through the officers and soldiers at a famous battle site of the Civil War, Gettysburg. Gettysburg was one of the most documented battles of the whole war. It took place over a span of three days and can be viewed as a turning point from Confederate prominence to Confederate demise. As in any conflict, there are two sides to the story. The Union and the Confederacy each had their own views as to why they were fighting the war. Victors write the history so too often only the Union side is

Have you ever dreamt of living an adventurous life? Well for me that was reality. I was a spy and actress, mercilessly charming Union officers into giving me information. Dubbed 'La Belle Rebelle' by a French war correspondent, I went by the name Belle Boyd instead of my original name, Maria Isabella Boyd. I have gone in and out of jail, marriages, and careers (three of each). Throughout the whole ordeal though, I have been constant in my loyalty to the Confederacy.

In the Battle of Gettysburg that took place on July 1, 1863, and ended on July 3, many casualties and injuries resulted from the fighting between those few days, leading to the victory of the Union Army. As mentioned in the Killer Angels, the hospitals were tents where soldiers were treated for their wounds on the battlefield, in the view of anyone and everyone. Amputations were almost every physician’s immediate response to bullet wounds shattering bones, amongst other types of injuries. Medicine was not as advanced back then as it is now, especially in the battlefield. Often, physicians and other medical professionals did not use proper hygienic techniques, which led to further complications due to bacteria and

Rabbi Chemelwitz says in his eulogy (Millennium) that the "Great Voyages" of the past no longer exist. Does the play bear out the truth of his belief or not? If not, what are the new great voyages?

…to have and to hold, from this day forwards, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do us part. These are the standard wedding vows and though, they are a married couple, these vows still play a role in any serious relationship. It is the promise of two people that they will be there, no matter what happens. However, things happen and, suddenly, that promise turns into a broken agreement. For instance, in the play Angels in America written by Tony Kushner, the character Louis leaves Prior because he has a terminal illness: AIDS. Therefore, their vow breaks the stable relationship. While the illness can break a vow, it can form one. In the musical movie version of Rent directed by Chris Columbus,

Maya Moore and Angel McCoughtry are strong defensive presences during games by making blocks that make a huge impression. Maya Moore the better defensive player outperforming Angel McCoughtry in every area on the defensive side of the ball. Maya Moore is an exceptional defensive stopper making the offense commit mistakes and make turnovers. She gets in the lane to deflect the ball, goes after the loose ball, and also goes up strong for the rebound where she averages six point seven rebounds a game. Maya plays smart defense by not going for the reach-in and fouling but still being a nuisance to the offense. Maya also is a good team player by helping her teammate’s double team the opponents to cause turnovers. She also averages point seven nine blocks per game. In the WNBA semi-finals Maya Moore stole

Speaking in conventional terms, the character “Prior” is single handedly perhaps the most easily and remarkably identifiable protagonist in the play. He’s the most recognizable protagonist due to the fact that he so happens to be the dominant victim in the play. Prior starts off the play at the mere mercy of every single character in addition to everything around him. Prior was also unfortunately abandoned by Louis, is also infected with a type of disease that controls his body and all of its main functions. In addition, prior happens to also be harassed by a heartless and unjust Angel. Lastly, as a gay individual with aids, he ultimately becomes the victim of social bigotry and prejudice as exemplified

Within modern society when a character strays away from what society depicts as morally right, the individual is frowned upon as if he or she doesn't belong. In “Angels in America” a gay fantasia on National themes, characters struggle to be themselves upon fear of whether or not society will accept them as an individual. The characters not only struggles with whether or not society will accept them, but they also struggle with their inner demons, and ultimately the question of what is truly good or evil. In this paper several characters will be analyzed and discussed from several different viewpoints.

Imagine being tricked into leaving your home and being captured by unfriendly strangers, having to adapt to your new environment. But of course once you finally adjust, you are taken to another unfamiliar place and have to modify your thoughts and emotions to fit in this new place. This is precisely what happens to one of the characters in Clockwork Angel written by Cassandra Clare. The book is set in 1878 and begins when Tessa Gray is tricked into leaving her home in New York to move to London. Little did she know that she would be abducted by two strange women who would torture her into using powers that Tessa was unaware that she had. Soon a group of Shadowhunters (half-human, half-angel people that fight demons)

Saints are always different from everyday people, thus no one understands them in their lives, only a lot of years after their death. Joan of Arc was a saint like this as well, she was too far ahead of her times and was killed by her fellow men, because they didn’t know what else to do. She was canonized in 1920, after 489 years of her death. In my opinion, she was not only a saint, but meant to be an angel and showed a good example to all of us, how to behave ourselves in the name of honour, honesty, and glory.

“Out of the temple came the seven angels with the seven plagues. They were dressed in clean, shining linen and wore golden sashes around their chests,” Revelation 15:6 (Buursma, Manikas-Foster). In Paradise Lost, a notorious angel, Lucifer, is said to transform into a toad and whisper into Eve`s ear (Jance). The world and the Bible have contrasting perspectives on what angels look like or what is an angel`s purpose. Angels are seen as mystical creatures with halos and beautiful wings, yet, also seen as beings that glorify God endlessly. So, what does an angel really look like? Do angels even exist? Are they made up creatures in movies? The world`s perspective and the Bible`s perspective on angels do not wholly match;
