    The truth of one’s character can be expressed through his or her own thoughts, actions, and words. Respectively, one’s downfall is embodied by his or her own character. In William Shakespeare’s King Lear, Lear’s character is depicted as one who descends into madness as a result of his irrational actions early in the play. Similarly, Holden Caulfield, from J.D Salinger’s The Catcher in the Rye, enters the coming-of-age process; however, his behaviour illustrates his ongoing cynicism and depression

    that deceive him by professing their love for him. King Lear eventually realizes his mistake of banishing his other daughter, Cordelia, who does not vocalize her love for him. Soon after, he becomes insane from the shock of the betrayal he faces. Shakespeare presents ideas of internalized sexism and exploitation in this play, to show the tendency towards misogyny. He uses the motifs of body and animals to illustrate that women are portrayed as lesser than men because of the stigma of their emotional

    We are well within the one-week countdown mark to possibly one of the most hyped series of Doctor Who in the show’s five-decade history. On the face of it, the series looks to be like any other. One with lots of monsters, mystery and adventure. Also with the important point of it being another Moffat series to add to his collection (which isn’t a terrible collection at that). So, what makes Series 9 that much more gripping, even before it airs? What have got Whovians the world over raving about

    Dr. Who is the longest running and most watched sci-fi show ever, and the sonic screwdriver is one of the most iconic (if not the most iconic) things on the show. So it is no surprise that people have tried to make copies of the sonic screwdriver. Researchers Marcus Doherty and Michael Barson have invented a wand shaped piece of medical technology based off the sonic screwdriver from Dr. Who, and it is quite different from the one in the show. With some exceptions, the screwdriver changes with

    Public communication is very important when in a discussion with coworkers and such. The one weakness that some people run into is silence. The spiral of silence theory by Elisabeth Noelle-Neumann explains why certain people fall under the pressure and seclude to silence. Silence may not always be a bad thing, but according to a study by Lucy J. MacGregor, the fact is that silence during a speech or conversation is absolutely bad. With this, silence while talking to a large group negatively affects

    Analytical essay of “Frost at Midnight” by Samuel Coleridge People think that nature brings a sort of calmness, happiness or peace, which is why most people travel to places with beautiful sceneries, or build houses near beaches, or have a plant in their surrounding or even just a painting of a tree, flower or mountain. The importance of nature is subjective as it nature touches people in different ways. The poem “Frost at Midnight,” Samuel Coleridge, is a monolingual conversation between the speaker

    Bobby I like Bobby most of the time because she can be very brave but also not so brave that it is unrealistic. Bobby is usually very nice unless aggravated and can get along with most people. Bobby is also very persistent because despite countless mistakes and misjudgments she never gave up and because of that everyone got to their destination. One of the things I don't like about her is that she has a gun and is a very skilled shooter, but does not want to use, it in the book she said “ If you

    "Shakespeare - The nearest thing in incarnation to the eye of God (Laurence Olivier)." Perhaps making the comparison between Shakespeare and a deity is a little far-fetched, but knowing Laurence Olivier is from the 1800s, we can assume that he means was an exquisite artist1. Shakespeare’s work continues to be relevant in today’s literature education. Despite his admirable art, modern directors choose to parody his plays in ridiculous “adaptations”. His play Much Ado About Nothing proves to be an
