The Nurse is blabbing her mouth, again, but due to her nosy and untrustworthy personality, she has to. The nurse, in Romeo and Juliet written by William Shakespeare, raised the main character, Juliet, since she had lost her own daughter, Susan. Her sense of humor and nonstop talking adds comic relief to the play. Throughout the play, the trusted family Nurse if commonly known for her need of attention, the way she looks and speaks, and untrustworthiness. Due to being a Nurse for a wealthy family

Before the party she stands alone on her balcony. Luhrmann’s exaggerated characterization of Lady Capulet separates her greatly from her daughter. Lady Capulet is lavish, vain, and too caught up in her

Texts that deal with the theme of conflict make us think. Conflict is the centre of all dramatic development in the three texts I will be discussing. These are Macbeth, by William Shakespeare, of Mice and Men, by John Steinbeck, and O Brother Where Art Thou’, directed by Joel Coen. There are many forms of conflict expressed in these texts.

I waited in the flickering fluorescent light of the small Saint Paul bus station while the indifferent ticketing agent looked over my ID then processed my reservation on the computer. “How many bags?” she asked tersely. “Just two. Wait, three, but one’s a carry-on bag,” I answered. “There’s an extra fee for the second checked bag,” she stated. “Um, does it matter if I’m in the military?” I asked. She simply stared at me from over her thick-rimmed glasses and said nothing. “Okay, how much?” I asked

To Keep From Crying Upon initial consideration, there is not an abundance of similarities found in Margaret Atwood's "Happy Endings", Alice Munro's "How I Met My Husband", and Wendy Cope's "Lonely Hearts". Atwood and Cope's works are satirical to the point of resembling farces, while Munroe's short story is a moving tale of first love that is decidedly serious in its treatment of the motifs of emotions, sensuality, and the relationships between men, women and girls. Yet all of these works are primarily

later her father died. Elliot Roosevelt died of illness, alcohol, and despair. He missed his family. Eleanor was shipped to stay with her strict and proper grandmother. Despite the family trying to make Eleanor feel at home, she continued to feel lonely and empty.

The Great Depression was fraught with hardships for both whites and African Americans alike. Harper Lee’s book is no exception to that rule and there are strong differences between blacks and whites such as how they were viewed in society.
