Jewish Art
Words: 490 / Pages: 2 .... come out of a fire was a reward in itself. She was not in it for the
mmoney or material rewards. I think a lot of times people are only in it for
material reward and it gets in the way of great art. It seems to me that this
helped her to become such a good artist
Her focus was mainly on very well known Jewish objects. Some of these
include Menorahs, Sadaka boxes, and Mezuzahs. These where very evident part of
her slide show. All of them were very obscure and odd looking but each told a
storyf which only she knew. At first glance they were not so great but after her
explanation they became beautiful.
Her idea of creating new rituals for .....

Macbeth: Ambition Is Root Of All Evil
Words: 576 / Pages: 3 .... Age, the witches
would have been taken very seriously, and that witchcraft was a part of their
culture. King James even wrote a book on the subject. Shakespeare foreshadows
Macbeth's corruption through his meeting with these three witches. (I,iii).
His thoughts are compared to Banquo's, whose morality, it seems, will not let
himself turn to evil. Banquo is skeptical of the witches, and tries to warn his
friend, who seems to accept what they say. Without this supernatural prophesy,
the thought of killing the king would have never crossed Macbeth's mind. The
thought is then reinforced when Macbeth learns that he is Thane of Cawdor, as
the wit .....

The Crucible: The Witchcraft Hysteria
Words: 774 / Pages: 3 .... a man by the name of John Proctor. Proctor broke contact
with Abigail and spent time and interest in his wife, Elizabeth. Abigail gets
jealous because of this and Abigail, a few other girls, and a servant from the
Caribbean named Tituba dance around in a order that they believe it will kill
Proctor's wife. Rev. Parris, Abigail's uncle, sees this and reports it. When
Abigail is questioned about this, she denies everything and doesn't tell the
truth about what really happened. The news of her and the other girl's strange
actions gets around and the hysteria starts. Without Abigail's superstition,
and her fear or telling the truth, I think the events .....

"Planet Of The Apes"
Words: 467 / Pages: 2 .... animals, would they not have been able to plot an escape to
avoid capture and imprisonment by the apes if they had been able to communicate?
Yes, they would have been free to live as equals. The apes and the humans would
have been co-inhabitants of the earth rather than creatues in a superior-
inferior relationship. "Planet of the Apes" is a perfect example of why
language is so important.
Another reason I am disputing Mr. Burrough's opinion of this movie is its
strong message concerning how humans were treated by apes. When we watched
"Planet of the Apes," we cannot fail to notice the mutes are treated. They were
beaten, battered and brui .....

The Classification System In Greek Drama
Words: 616 / Pages: 3 .... status than those told without stars. A feature with Robert DiNero and Ray Liotta is going to sound more professional than a movie done with want-to-be actors.
The rule also gave way for more effective portrayal of a character. It did this in two ways. First, it gave a way to make the character deeper by giving him contrast to the other characters. Second, it gave an outlet where the characters could form unions with each other. They could team up two against one. It gave a way to show more power to characters.
The three-actor rule was also beneficial for financial reasons. Because they were limited in the amount of actors they could .....

Macbeth: Macbeth A Victim Of Circumstances
Words: 595 / Pages: 3 .... of the major circumstances is simply himself and what he is
deep down. Macbeth has no control over the way he is. It is his vaulting
ambition that makes him the way he is. This is why I consider it a circumstance
where others may not. Macbeth is weak. He gave in to his evil side by even
considering murdering Duncan. We can see him questioning himself in his aside
in Act I scene 3 "Why do I yield to that suggestion whose horrid image ... Are
less than horrible imaginings;"6. He cannot seem to be able to control his
thoughts. He lets his ambition to become king run a wild. The murder of Duncan
is the first and biggest step in Macbeth's mora .....

Othello: Shakespeare's Most Tragic Play
Words: 518 / Pages: 2 .... not
deserved this.'” (141). Othello changes even more dramatically because of the
poison suggestions that Iago has given him. He goes out of control and
eventually kills Desdemona thinking that she has did something wrong.
Othello has many tragic flaws. He is a really gullible person, for
example he was tricked by Iago; thinking that Desdemona was really having an
affair with Cassio. “ ` Did he confess it?'” (134). He trusts Iago too much
and totally relies on Iago therefore making him really vulnerable to Iago's
evilish schemes. Othello's gullibility causes him to be jealous. He let's his
jealousy take over, he looses control of hims .....

Othello And King Lear: A Comparison
Words: 255 / Pages: 1 .... about his love life
and his taste in clothes splashed across the glossy magazines. His views about
everything under the sun, from the government to kitchen furniture, would
probably appear regularly in the colour supplements. His face would be familiar
on television talk shows, his voice well-known from radio broadcasts. There
would be so much recorded evidence about his life and his opinions that it would
not be hard to write about him.
Shakespeare, however, lived some four hundred years ago in the reign of
Queen Elizabeth I, when there was no tele-vision or radio, nor even any
newspapers as we know them today. Although he was respected as .....

The Sea Dogs... Puppets In A Political War
Words: 1769 / Pages: 7 .... in the pirating business (Wood 102). Sir Walter Raleigh
was another sea dog, but he didn't prove to be as successful (Cochran 32).
Another pirate during the Middle Ages was John Hawkins. He robbed the
Spaniards of slaves and riches (Cochran 26). Together these three men were
accountable for what would be worth millions and millions of dollars being
converted from Spanish hands to English.
These three sea dogs were not just part time pirates though.
Pirating was their main job. William Wood stated that, “...(Spaniards)
they were only naval amateurs, compared with the trained professional sea
dogs.” Drake alone was responsible for over 150 at .....

The Return Of The Jedi
Words: 1461 / Pages: 6 .... the society change in a drastic manner. This paper will examine
the history of Jediism, the current (as of the end of the last movie) status of
the religion, and offer some suggestions as to what we can expect from Jediism
in the future.
I. The Religion
To examine the future of religion as it relates to society, one must
first have an idea of the tenets and beliefs on which the religion is based.
Jediism is based solely on belief in the "force", a "Universal energy field that
surrounds us and permeates us". (O. Kenobi, SW) Stark and Bainbridge make the
point that any religion based on magic or magic-like rituals is fated to die out
unless the magi .....
