The readiness to conceal one’s true persona for any cause that will improve public reputation becomes uncontrollably dangerous. In the beginning of the play, after having won Brutus over to the conspiracy, Cassius remarks, “I am glad that my weak words/ Have struck but thus show of fire from/ Brutus” (1.2.185-187). In this context, the author applies the metaphor of “fire” with negative connotations, signifying how Cassius has taken advantage of Brutus’ lack of self-perception. In addition, especially with the mention of “fiery eyes” later in the passage (1.2.196), the metaphor also shows what Brutus’ eyes can now see as reflected through Cassius, his “mirror” (1.2.73-75). With fire’s negative implications in this context, the reader understands that Cassius has distorted his mirror analogy to bring out the worst in Brutus. It is important to note Cassius’s use of Brutus’ deceptive face, which roots from his concealment of his most intense emotions including confusion, anger, and grief, made clear in several parts of the play, (e.g. 1.2.180-184; 4.3.153-164; 4.3.165-182). Cassius also recognizes this weakness in Caesar declaring, “...let Caesar seat him sure,/ For we will shake him” (1.2.333-334), using the imagery of the secure seat to depict Caesar’s self perception: As one without a firm foundation easily falls out, one

The relationship between John Purcell and his son had drifted apart more and more by his actions and his choice of being alcoholic. As inconsiderate as John he says to a curate "Three dollars! Why, I could have taken Johnny to a burlesque show for less than that." There is a little boy present and their parents do not want their children exposed to such inappropriate jokes like John often expressed. John is inconsiderate therefore he does things without thinking. His recklessness continued when he met another untrustworthy father at the meeting. At that point when the outsider offered him a drink, he expected it happily expressing “You’re a lifesaver,” because of his dependence on alcohol he humiliated his child much further; and had not taken his wife’s oath of being on his best conduct into thought. When he went up the stairs to receive Johnny’s reward, on the way he trips and falls making his son embarrassed and

As an English teacher at Wellesley High School, in the accomplished community of Wellesley, Massachusetts, David McCullough, Jr. confronts the paradox of reality versus the popular assumptions perpetuated by well-meaning parents and delivered a shockingly poignant attack on the Wellesley High School graduates’ self-perception and preparedness. In addition, he outlined the parents’ role in creating and maintaining this deception. Mr. McCullough used his knowledge and insight of the Twenty-first Century youth culture, humor, and steadfast opinion that his target audience of high school graduates is aphoristically, NOT SPECIAL. However, Mr. McCullough limited his audience’s sensitivity to his assertion using ethics, logic and pathos and later provides a positive, passionate and humanistic world view of how to have a well-lived life.

and spanned a course of some twenty years. Two decades of conflict and disharmony that seemed to connect with many of the attendees displayed by their numerous head nods and looks of shared shame. He said he never intended to become an alcoholic. He was just trying to “fit in” with friends. Another reason given for using alcohol was to squash the stress and anxieties all too familiar with the formative years of pre-adulthood. “Little did I know”, he said that he was setting the stage for how to handle all his subsequent problems later in life.

Looking up to the mirror he happened to be facing, Jim took a moment to steel himself. A few deep breaths prepared him for his next move, which was sure to be a smashing one. He jumped up and down on the spot a few times and then barreled forward with one shoulder out front in a football tackle stance. The collision with the mirror was harder than he expected it to be, but the twinkling sound of smashed glass was exactly as he imagined.

"Can you tell me how to get, how to get to Sesame Street?" If some people in this country have their way, and funding for the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) is cut, then the answer to that question will be no. Many people in this country want the federal government to remove the NEA from the national budget or at least cut back on its funding.
