My Foolish Heart

What is love? It is a wonderful feeling that warms one’s heart, gives butterflies in one’s face, puts a smile on one’s face, it is the feeling one gets when they come home to see their loved ones and it is knowing that one is never truly alone in the presence of their loved ones. Love is what one feels towards the people they care, towards the people they trust and towards the people they cherish. Some even go as far as claiming it is the best feeling in the entire world. The classic literature piece

private heart is true for all men, - that is genius” (Emerson 3). Another trait according to Emerson is “trust yourself or thyself,” and not be dependent on others’ wisdoms for doing so is an unmanly, without vision or optimism. A person who trusts himself displays imagination and is childlike (i.e. naïve). “Great men have always done so, and confided themselves childlike classical myth to the genius of their age, betraying their perception that the absolutely trustworthy was seated at their heart, working

A commencement speech, a speech that sends off college students into the real world. When these speeches are said, they are meant to be eye-openers, a lesson that should be held close to you to aid in whatever comes your way in the future. This is what Steve Jobs wanted to do when he gave his commencement speech. He gave his speech to his fellow graduates to guide them into something more and tell them a fundamental tip on how to live their life. In Steve Jobs commencement speech, he uses rhetorical

better than the other men. Bottom says, “… let me Thisbe too! I’ll / speak in a monstrous little voice: ‘Thisne, Thisne!’ (I.ii.45-46)”, then later, wishing to claim another role, “Let me play the lion too. I will roar, that I will do any / man’s heart good to hear me, (I.ii.62-63)”. Bottom glorifies himself as the center of the play, and petitions to play every role in the production, much like a self-centered ass. The qualities that Bottom portrays of selfishness and self-preservation are the qualities

Tears stream down my face as I sing out my sufferings, the climax of the song breaking through my heart and leaving me vulnerable. Releasing all my demons on one note, one song, one poem. I speak though music in a way that no amount of talking would ever be able to. When I was in elementary school I was bullied by many students because I was tall, or because I was heavy set. At the time I couldn’t figure out how to express these feelings inside so I would become so upset and so stressed that I would

however, it is said more like a statement or a fact of life, a book is a dream, a thought, a powerhouse. The latest one I have touched, glanced over and read was The Assassin's Blade by Sarah J. Mass. To include, it may be a foolish book in some eyes, however, no book is too foolish in my eyes, this book has romance, adventure, action, mystery, and last but certainly not the least is fantasy. Indeed, fantasy is the main reason why people like, you and I, try to reach our goals. In addition, the main character

important to the ideas of human nature. Edmund was one of the Pevensie children and is used in C.S. Lewis’s novel as a representation of humanity. C.S. Lewis presents Edmund as humanity through his foolish blindness to that which is sin, his pride and jealousy, and his fear of judgement. Edmund is already a foolish boy by the result of his sinful nature. C.S. Lewis shows us this in the book when he writes, “He jumped in

an easy target for mockery and embarrassment. In the play, Malvolio desperately tries to win Olivia’s heart, falling under Maria’s trap. Sebastian proves his shallow and ambiguous self when he agrees to wed a complete stranger for wealth, and Sir Andrew vainly tries to prove his worth and nobleness to his fellow upper classmen, turning himself into a laughing stock. These three characters’ foolish actions create humor in the play as well as preach us that social ambition is the stepping stone for

does not listen to the advice of those close to his Kingdom as a result; he banishes Kent out of the kingdom because he stands against his incorrect decisions. which is against his daughter and the right division of the Kingdom in addition to the foolish tried bitterness and reluctance to ignorance avoid sin but he was stubborn, proud, selfishness, and insensitive. He does not know what to do because of his foolishness and weak personality as a result, one may think, Lear, reached to the madness because

“Twelfth Night” presents many characters who can be regarded as foolish, whether it be through their illogical declarations of love, idiotic nature or characteristic drunkenness indicative of the festival from which it is based on. However, none more so than the “puritan” Malvolio, who deludes himself completely throughout the play presenting him as the “real fool”. Malvolio is introduced to us in Act1Sc5, presented as pompous and assertive, first impressions of him depict a man desperate for superiority
