Misaiah In the Westing Game, I believe I think that Grace is lying about being Sam’s niece, so there isn’t suspicion about her.I don’t think Sam Westing was murdered. I think he is just staying away from everyone while the game is in play, so no one asks him questions. I think he is trying very hard to get back at his ex-wife, who I think is possibly Grace Windsor Wexler, for breaking their daughter, who is Violet Westing, up from George Theodorakis, her old boyfriend, and trying to make her marry someone she doesn’t want to marry. This is all the evidence I could find on her. I think it is Grace because in class she was the most mentioned out of everyone else. I think she’s the right age to be married to Sam too.
Sam is framing Crow for his murder. He wanted revenge for his death and his daughter's suicide, and blames Mrs. Westing.
The Westing Game Essay Suspense. Confusion. Cunning. The Westing Game had all of those and more.
Sifting through the multiple essays and applications, Wester's eyes skimmed past the lines and lines of neat words. He didn't give a crap about the filled in forms—after all, the Head Gamemaker position was to be assigned by he himself. Forms and applications would give the hopefuls too much power, even if it were fleeting and false. Wester already had his final two choices: Aurelius Dens and Rya Lupus. The former was a loyal-to-the-end-but-naive person, unable to betray... or fully reach the full potential of Head Gamemaker, while the latter was a huge history buff, but a woman.
In a stock market, it will be more risky to invest a lot of money but on the other hand, larger the investment is, better the gains are. So no matter what you do, the bigger risk you take and bigger price you pay will probably gain more benefits. (?)
Why is Peter in this book? Peter sure looks crazy at the beginning of the book, but by the end of it, he and Ender have made some sort of peace. Has Peter changed over the years? Or do you think that Peter’s not really so bad at the beginning of the book? We never get to hear his own thoughts, so could it be possible that Peter is just a typical bullying big brother and not the psychopath that Ender and Val think he is?
The Epic of Gilgamesh is a very popular epic that is difficult to understand at first, which is why their is different translations of the same book. Although Foster and Sander’s translations have a lot of similar words and the stories are basically the same, there are also a lot of differences between the two. One of which is more straightforward and easier to understand, whereas the other is more of an in depth thoughtful read for the reader. Both translations differences have their own particular reasons for doing so, and add to the depiction of the story. I feel like the translation in the Anthology is a more complex read, whereas Sander’s translation is much easier to understand.

This research paper will first discuss the working definitions and scope of postcolonial theory which the essay will use a tool and framework for comparing the two texts, Shakespeare’s comedy The Tempest written in 1610 and the epic poem the Epic of Gilgamesh. The paper will then individually discuss the postcolonial concerns and themes reflected both literary classics, along with the tensions that arise when applying these concepts of power, knowledge and ethics. Postcolonial theory refers to the critical discipline that responds to and analyses the cultural ramifications of colonialism and imperialism on nations and their people (Chegg, 2017). Colonialism, in the context of this paper, shall refer to the relationship between nations who seek to extend and further their authorial powers over other nations, lands or territories and their captive lands or peoples. By critiquing and analyzing the cultural ramifications of the role of colonialism, postcolonial works of literature seek to question and change the manner or lens in which the said culture is being perceived, and challenge the dominant narratives promulgated by the colonizer during the period of colony.
I first thought it was Grace Windsor Wexler right away the way she thought she was better than everyone. How she seem to have her nose stuck up in everything when it was none of her business. Then always pushing her daughter Angela than being to mean to Turtle. Then slowly I realize that Turtle always being mean to everyone I thought she did it because how her mother treats her. Even Angela could have been the murder.

Furthermore, briefly I would like to discuss the characters, Gilgamesh, Iranon, and William Dyer from the stories, “Gilgamesh”, “The Quest of Iranon”, and “The Mountain of Madness”, respectively. To begin with, Gilgamesh is such as character which quite well exemplifies the advice and recommendations provided by Martin Luther King and Lord Krishna, as he uses the time that he is provided in an efficient way, in hopes of being able to introduce physical change within himself, ultimately be able to become immortal after learning of the disappointment of death with the loss of his friend Enkidu. When Gilgamesh learns of a being named, Utnapishtim, who is able to fulfill his desire, he waste no time treading to his objective, defying many of the obstacles that may come in his way. In fact, the scorpion man is stunned at the sight that, “[Gilgamesh had] traveled so far, overseas and mountains difficult to cross, through the wastelands and desserts no mortal has ever entered”. (Mitchell 161) Additionally, similar to the persistence of Martin Luther King to keep fighting for a social revolution, the determination in the eyes of Gilgamesh continued to be lit to “the Waters of Death, whose touch kills instantly”, in hopes of him being able to satisfy his inner hunger for eternal life. (Mitchell 170) Moreover, “The Quest of Iranon” was quite an interesting twist, and exemplifies the idea that no action, even though it concludes to merely being useless, goes to waste as it becomes a learning process for individuals to realize the truth of what reality has to offer. To be more specific, in the text it states, that unfortunately, Aires was “laughed at”, and simply looked away as a rebellious individual in Teloth, for defying the rules of only performing labor works. Furthermore, he had feared the disappointment and neglect from his society, that if he did not attend to their belief that a “song is folly” and “the gods of Teloth have said that [mere] toil is good”, he would be punished and looked down upon as a lunatic (Lovecraft, 46 and 45) Therefore, out of fear of the unknown of the extreme measures the community of Teloth would take in defiance against him, he was undoubtedly compelled to be “driven out” to his home,
Exploration during the postcolonial era was very popular in footings for people to try and reach out to find ways to set up ground for themselves. In Gilgamesh, the Tempest, and Heart of Darkness, it seems oppression and race played an important factor as to how one coexisted from events that took place to express all that existed during this period. From both good to bad, one feeling strong to weak, or even included or excluded, oppression and race were amongst the many postcolonial lenses that could be viewed from these three pieces of literature. These three stories reveal how racial difference is used to justify oppression during the time of the colonial period.

1. The Second Shepherd’s Play, According to its preface, contained in The Norton Anthology of Drama, was part of a cycle of plays performed as a celebration for the Feast of Corpus Christi, The feast of the holy eucharist. This means that it was only one play out of about 32 other texts. It was, like the other plays in this “Wakefield” cycle, written as a “Mystery Play.” A “Mystery Play,” according to a study guide put online by Dr. Debora B. Schwartz of the California Polytechnic State University, is a dramatized version of the bible. A “Mystery Play” was used to demonstrate the teachings of the Bible in a way that the peasants who didn't speak latin could understand. According to the preface of this play, contained in The Norton Anthology
