Shuttlecocks, a 3D aluminum and fiberglass-reinforced plastic structure was a fascinating piece created by Claes Oldenburg and Coosje

even in the company of another man, but this person does nothing to protect Desdemona, but knows it is not right when she is so obedient. Shakespeare highlighted that it was not unique for human intervention to save a woman from a murderous husband (Vanita, 1994). She states, “I have not deserved this” (Shakespeare, 4.1.247) after he strikes her. Othello scolded her and screamed at her in an authoritative manner. You could tell she was confused and scared because of his unexpected behavior when he was

even though I'd covered him in my own scent before we'd arrived. Keeping him close, I pushed him past the crowd of lower class demons. Of course we’d have to come here, lets hope no one recognizes me, I hoped as we reached the pick up line. “Hey Vanitas, that guy over there is staring at you” whispered Ventus.
