Many people who have read William Shakespeare’s Macbeth know that Macbeth is the tragic hero in the play, but there another character stands out as a much greater protagonist. Macbeth is the type of character who turned from a loyal warrior to the king into a violent, tyrannical, and conflicted person as he progressively commits crimes inside the kingdom without anyone’s notice, except for one person, who is Macduff.

Nancy Foner compares two distinct waves of immigration to New York, from 1880 to 1920 and from 1965 to present, to illustrate the cruciality of growing immigrant social, economic, and political impacts on the city.

An American sex educator, birth control activist, author, and nurse, that’s who Margaret Sanger was. Sanger “created” the expression "birth control", established the first birth control clinic in the United States, and set up associations that later developed into the Planned Parenthood Federation of America. A fervent women's activist, human rights lobbyist, and supporter of sex-positivity, Sanger was additionally a eugenicist, trusting that anti-conception medication was at any rate as imperative an apparatus for restricting the generation of 'the unfit' as it was for women's freedom.

However, the positive side to his actions, was the speed and running ability he built up. I felt relieved when his brother encouraged his participation on the school track team. In a nutshell, Louie was a natural star. His large, skinny frame and long frame gave him ideal running characteristics. No longer was Louie a bad kid, he was a

Indexicals are important distinguishers of context within sentences. They are expressions that can be uttered by multiple speakers, and have a different meaning or implication each time it is spoken. For me to say “I am Sarah Elshater” has one meaning, for my older brother to say “I am Sarah Elshater” has a completely separate meaning –and would likely cause concern within my family should he say such a thing. In The Problem of the Essential Indexical by John Perry, the notion of “locating beliefs” is mentioned as an essential part of indexicals, as indexicals allow the speaker’s belief to be expressed. On page 5, Perry writes “I shall use the term ‘locating beliefs’ to refer to one’s beliefs about where one is, when it is, and who one is” (Perry, The Problem of the Essential Indexical).

Finally, act 5 scene 3 adds to the plot by using Macbeth’s stubbornness of the witches prophecy against him. Because of the seemingly impossible requirements that need to be met before Macbeth’s death, Macbeth develops a feeling of immortality to all things. In line 2, he reports, “Till Birnam Wood to Dunsinane I cannot taint with fear.” The reality of this event’s likelihood has struck Macbeth.

This statement that Macduff makes leads us to the climax of our story, where the thought and imagination of Macbeth get’s ruined by the reality of Macduff’s birth.
