Friar Lawrence was responsible for the demise of Romeo and Juliet. Firstly because, he married Romeo and Juliet way too quickly. Romeo was in love with Rosaline hours before he fell in love with Juliet and Friar Lawrence knew this. He told Romeo, ““Thy love did read by rote, that could not spell.../In one respect I’ll thy assistant be:/For this alliance may so happy prove/To turn your households’ rancour to pure love” (2.3. 88-92). In this quote, Friar Lawrence tells Romeo that he does not truly understand love because he went from loving Rosaline to loving Juliet so quickly, however, he still agrees to marry them. Friar Lawrence had no reason to act rash like Romeo and Juliet did. His only reason to marry Romeo and Juliet was to end the feud.

Mark Twain once said, “To a man with a hammer, everything looks like a nail.” This quote implies that individuals who possess a lot of authority often take advantage of it, which is agreeable and can be supported by Dave Egger’s non-fiction novel Zeitoun. In Zeitoun, the people who were a part of the police force and military that had authority in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina took advantage of their power and wrongfully arrested many people left in the city. On Tuesday September 6th, Zeitoun, Nasser, Ronnie, and Todd were met in the foyer of the Claiborne house by men in mismatched police and military uniforms who all had M-16s and pistols, at least ten guns were visible to Zeitoun and the others.

I believe the connection Utanapishtim is making between the sleeper and the dead being alike is because often when people die, it’s referred to as being in a permanent sleep. The only difference between the two is, when you’re asleep you wake up and when you’re dead you stay asleep. After that quote it gets confusing, because Untanapishtim goes on to say, “They limn not death’s image, No one dead has ever greeted a human in this world.” (80). I had to look up what the word “limn” meant and found out that it means to depict or describe. Therefore, I took that sentence to mean, sleep and death does not describe death’s image. I’m not really sure what Utanapishtim was trying to say as I read further past the quote of the sleeper and the dead being alike, but in today’s time I would take that simile as being compared to when people say, “When you die, you’re just sleeping.”

What would you do if you were in a family crisis and given a 10,000 for your family member passing away?

Throughout this book making this a great mood changing book to read many sequal of events happen throughout the book.

I think the author added rebellion of culture as a theme because we’re so used to following our ways and not rebelling against culture and it mixes us up from what we’re used too and intrigues us. I think the author hints that rebelling is acceptable in the novel so that we think about it and decide if it actually is. In the chrysalids rebellion happens because if a person is being harmed or discriminated in an unfair manner they are allowed to rebel. He thinks rebellion is ok because maybe a deviation could be helpful, for example David and his friends could talk without speaking. Also, I think the author argues it is ok to rebel to protect someone else from harm. Many people in the chrysalids rebel from their culture and society, these are just some examples of why the author lets rebellion happen.

Eventually he deserts the squadron and the story ends. The theme of the novel Catch 22 is that the lack of correct justice by the superiors can be very unfair.

Sedaris writes of the fact that although many times unaware, we are constantly surrounded by life. He attempts to enlighten the reader about the constant movement around us. Quote 1 reveals David's heart towards the importance of all animals no matter how pesky or lovable they are. Quote 2 does the same. We are often oblivious to the fact that we are always being watched, just as we watch those around us who go unaware of our eyes. Most people care about another species such as a dog, cat, or otherwise. Sedaris happens to love spiders. He attempts to show others that there is value in every life no matter how irrelevant theirs seems to ours. Sedaris says in Quote 3 that because his love for spiders doesn't involve large pets with fur, it does

I think that the character Eurocleyia reflected the essay prompt by T.S. Eliot about home. She has watched the kingdom at bay, observing everybody while chaos was happening, staying unharmed by everything around her. In the quote, it says “Home is where one starts from.”. Eurocleyia has been in the family for a long time, and has even raised Odysseus himself when he was born. Her loyalty is unshaken and strong, despite the suitors and Odysseus being away.

"If we could sniff or swallow something that would, for five or six hours each day, abolish our solitude as individuals, atone us with our fellows in a glowing exaltation of affection and make life in all its aspects seem not only worth living, but divinely beautiful and significant, and if this heavenly, world-transfiguring drug were of such a kind that we could wake up next morning with a clear head and an undamaged constitution - then, it seems to me, all our problems (and not merely the one small problem of discovering a novel pleasure) would be wholly solved and earth would become paradise."

“He loves the theatre apparently. A great enthusiast when he gets going. He has his down periods like a lot of people, but he’s your support, your natural energiser.” Justin to Lewis about Roy P3

Everybody knows that guy or girl who they believe to be nuts. They may have done something completely bonkers, or have done nothing unacceptable at all. They may have no cause at all, in a way it takes one to know one. This is different for Yossarian, where everyone he knows is actually psychotic. Literally, all the characters in Joseph Heller’s Catch 22 are completely mental, Yossarian is constantly falling in love with people that end up not replicating a mutual feeling, Colonel Cathcart relentlessly sends his men to their death just so he can climb the ranks to General, final there is Milo Minderbinder, the biggest loon of them all. Milo Minderbinder is literally out of his mind at one point in the book he attempted to force the company to consume chocolate covered Egyptian cotton, he did this because a Egyptian told him that Egyptian cotton would be very valuable, so he purchased all of it just manufacture profit for his syndicate. Milo Minderbinder is the most magnificent character in Catch 22 he
