In extent Malcolm is referring to Macbeth as the “dead butcher” and to Lady Macbeth as “his fiend-like queen.” A butcher in the use of this play is a person who kills showing no regret for their actions or reason for the killings. The fiend as Lady Macbeth is to say she is very evil and has no morals, able to bend other’s wills to equal her own giving them a confused air of what they really want. On the other hand to say Macbeth was always a butcher is an unfair evaluation of him, as it doesn’t reflect the views that the whole of Scotland had at the beginning of the play. Fiend is a brilliant way to describe Lady Macbeth as she is the one who initially introduced the feeling of evil into the play and into Macbeth leading him to commit the

“Bartleby, The Scrivener” is a memorable story, by Herman Melville, that is able to keep its readers captivated from beginning to end. How does the author successfully grab the attention of his readers? The author utilized his masterful command of the English language to convey the characters, setting, and plot effectively; and in the midst of all the detailed descriptions Melville have used food and the action of eating as powerful symbols. In the story three of the characters have names that are associated with food, and the main character of study, Bartleby, eventually dies of starvation by choice. Given the setting of the story was in the onset of the second industrial revolution, the coming of the big corporations where Wall

“An evil person is like a dirty window, they never let the light shine through.” Stated by William Makepeace Thackeray, this idea of “never letting the light shine through” aptly portrays Grendel’s evil and monstrous figure even though Grendel himself is not a person. Living in a world of loneliness, Grendel searches for the meaning of his own life, attempting to discover the “good” aspects that life brings instead of focusing on the evil individual he was predestined to be. Grendel manages to discover and gain knowledge about life’s various “good” qualities from his enemies, the humans. Although Grendel is exposed to these qualities by the humans, he never changes his approach to life, continuing to behave evilly like

The novel Monster, by Dean Myers is about a 16 year old, African American on trial for a felony murder from a robbery. Steve is VERY scared, him just writing in his journal isn't working, so he begins making his experience/trial into a movie.The novel begins with opening statements and other courtroom stuff, none of which is interesting, but things start to get very interesting shortly after when witnesses start taking the stand.The witnesses in the trial come from many different parts. There's Richard "Bobo" Evans, the thug who claims Steve was a lookout at the crime, James King, another bad guy on trial, Osvaldo Cruz, the poser, Mr. Sawicki, Steve's favorite teacher, Dorothy Moore, James King's cousin, and even Steve himself. The drama doesn't just happen in the courtroom, though, as the novel cuts back and forth to flashbacks from Steve's past. To keeping things interesting, this gives us more insight

In the article “Don’t Blame the Eater,” by David Zinczenko he argues that it is not always the consumer's fault that they consume food that is bad for them. Zinczenko tells a story of how when he was growing up he practically lived off of fast food. His parents were divorced. His father was always trying to get his life together and his mother worked very long hours. Due to this he didn't have many other options besides McDonalds, Kentucky Fried Chicken, Taco Bell or Pizza Hut. Zinczenko shows how fast food restaurants are more available than healthier options. He writes “Drive down any thoroughfare in America, and I guarantee you'll see one of our country's more than 13,000 McDonald's restaurants. Now, drive back up the block and try to find someplace to buy a grapefruit.” Today Type 2 diabetes makes up at least 30 percent of all new childhood cases of diabetes in the United States. This is a shocking increase

The fast-paced lifestyle of many Americans has caused the growth in popularity of fast food restaurants. “Don’t Blame the Eater” by David Zinczenko discusses this topic along with his response to kids suing McDonalds for making them overweight. Zinczenko is the Editorial Director of “Men’s Fitness” and is the Wellness Editor at ABC News. He also has many published books on the topic of diet and exercise. The purpose of this text is to shine a light on the kids’ perspective of this lawsuit against McDonalds, and to convince readers that this lawsuit is justified.

Helmut Walser Smith’s A Butcher’s Tale and Alain Corbin’s Village of Cannibals, present case studies of historical accounts which demonstrate the power of masses and of crowd violence in the small Prussian town of Konitz and the isolated French village of Hautefaye. Small towns are generally attributed to communal characteristics where citizens help and protect one another; however, the events that unraveled in these two cases generated a shock factor to the neighboring towns as it exemplified the power of rumor and the overall naivety of the inhabitants of the two towns. These case studies are also reflections of how the most civilized of societies are able to resort to barbaric actions through mere hearsay and allow their prejudices to shape their perception. This paper will examine the dynamics of the crowd, the explanation for the unfolding events and the ways in which both authors reach their conclusions of the unraveling of these events.

The term “zombie” was created in Haiti by sorcerers who have studied vodou for a long time, zombies were people who have died and returned to an undead state in order to perform tasks for the living, they would be placed in “zombie farms”. In 1932 a film “White Zombie” was created which showed how a vodou master took control of a woman and turned her into a zombie, ever since then, directors, writers, and zombie fanatics have twisted and spun their own theories from becoming a zombie due to infection or radiation. Then there is Fallout which spins lore of the irradiated zombie and calls them a ghoul and gives them stages of evolution. To claim that a ghoul in Fallout is more frightening than a modern zombie will be a difficult argument since

In chapter 1 it goes over a lot of the basics of human behaviors and what might come when you look into this stuff. Like the first day morgue syndrome which is a common reaction to something that is new or they might have an unusual situation and have no response at all. The book said that there are many reason for the first day morgue syndrome but a big one is fear. I always thought that with a lot of people don’t do a lot of things just out of sheer fear; I am of course of one those people. Like most people it’s not out of fear of dying but more of fear of making a fool out of myself, that’s why I or most cautious people don’t do extreme things first or at all. Like even in class at school I don’t ask to many questions because of the fear of looking dumb.

I found an interesting article written by the Harvard Medical School Department of Neurobiology. In 1721 nightmares was defined as a "disease when a man in his sleep supposes he has a great weight laying upon him” (Edwards, n.d.). This definition completely differs from today's definition. are more Today, the different is completely different nightmares affect many adults, however, it affects children more. The reason for this is because children are smaller and more vulnerable more threats than adults (Edwards, n.d.). Nightmares can be caused by a number of factors, however, Edwards states that the most studied cause for nightmares is post-traumatic stress disorder. As a result of trauma and negative experiences, individuals typically

Bullets shot through the building at every angle. Bodies lay across the floor. The floor was slick with their blood. People were scrambling on top of each other to get to the stairs; nobody dared to go outside. Going outside promised death, at least inside there was a chance to survive.

While technology contributed to the negative outcomes in both The Fatal Eggs, and The Food of the Gods, human incompetence was the main factor in the failure of that technology. In the H.G. Wells story, the first example of human incompetence was the lack of forethought on the part of Bensington, and Redwood about the future negative implications of their discovery, and how little theoretical research and modeling they did before moving on to the trial period of their research. The next factor in the problem created by the initial food production was a lack of systems implemented in the growing process to quarantine, and monitors the impact on the environment. While some of this is due to the age, and lack of care provided by the Skinner family,
