National Geographic: Mysteries Underground
Words: 555 / Pages: 3 .... explorers are very cautious
as to what they touch or where they step because some of the crystal formations
are so fragile that the slightest vibration from a voice or a footstep could
ruin millions of years of forming. In some parts of caves there are giant and
very smooth ice formations that must be slid down very carefully because if they
are not taken cautiously you will pick up to much speed while sliding and
finally hit some kind of stone wall or something. One lady was not careful
enough and boy did she pay. She was only a mile and a half or so in the cave
and she broke her leg. It took almost five days to get who to the surface of
the ca .....

Antigone: Civil Disobedience
Words: 283 / Pages: 2 .... both a right and
responsibility of a person to fight an unjust law.
Government is given the right to control a group of people by the people
composing the group. If an individual has a problem with an injustice they feel
has been placed against them, then they have a right to convey this. Civil
Disobedience allows one to convey their thoughts and ideas in a passive,
nonviolent way. It can be used when one believes that they are morally right,
and that others will agree with them. Antigone conveys this thought when she
tells, “No one will ever convict me for a traitor” (Page 61). In a nonviolent
from, Civil Disobedience is a basic human .....

Violence On The Tube
Words: 1460 / Pages: 6 .... may account for most human learning (239). Observational learning
extends to observing parents and peers, classroom learning, reading books, and
learning from media such as television and films. Nearly all of us have been
exposed to television, videotapes, and films in the classroom. Children in day-
care centers often watch Sesame Street. There are filmed and videotaped
versions of great works of literature such as Orson Welles' Macbeth. Nearly
every school shows films of laboratory experiments.
But what of our viewing outside of the classroom? Television is also
one of our major sources of informal observational learning .....

met somewhere and was sleeping with him behind her husbands' back.
Andy then in rage went out to buy a gun and one night he was
outside the guy's house while Andy's wife was in with him. The next day
came and the two bodies were found dead in each other's arms with bullet
wounds. All of the evidence pointed to Andy and he went on trial. The

Richard III: Usage Of Imagery, Foreshadowing, And Irony
Words: 1761 / Pages: 7 .... apart from the figures around him, and perhaps regarded as an outsider or ostracized because of his deformity. His separation from is family is emphasized when he says "Dive, thought's down to my soul" when he sees his brother approaching. He is unable to share his thought with his own family as he is plotting against them. Thus, we are given hints of his physical, social and spiritual isolation which is developed throughout the play. But despite these hints, he still refers to himself as part of the House of York, shown in the repeated use of "Our".
The concept of Richard's physical isolation is reinforced in his dealings with Anne in Act I scene .....

The History Of Greek Theater
Words: 2430 / Pages: 9 .... gods who sent suffering and evil to men. In the plays of Sophocles, the gods brought about the hero's downfall because of a tragic flaw in the character of the hero.
In Greek tragedy, suffering brought knowledge of worldly matters and of the individual. Aristotle attempted to explain how an audience could observe tragic events and still have a pleasurable experience. Aristotle, by searching the works of writers of Greek tragedy, Aeschulus, Euripides and Sophocles (whose Oedipus Rex he considered the finest of all Greek tragedies), arrived at his definition of tragedy. This explanation has a profound influence for more than twenty centuries on those .....

The Crucible: John Proctor Is A Hero
Words: 510 / Pages: 2 .... John confesses to lechery with Abigail and he also confesses to being
a witch. It was not easy for John to do that. Most people confess
and sign away their lives to a lie. John does not see the point in it. He
can not live a saint so why live at all? John dies with everyone knowing
the truth about him. John says, “You have made your magic now, for now I
do think I see some shred of goodness in John Proctor.” John rips up the
confession he has just signed when he realizes that what he is doing is
just going to make his family's lives worse.
John decides not to confess because he does not want to ruin the
Proctor name. He does .....

Antigone & Ismene
Words: 613 / Pages: 3 .... Ismene reveals her passivity and helplessness
in the light of Creon's decree. Thus, from the start, Ismene is
characterized as traditionally "feminine", a helpless woman that pays no
mind to political affairs. Doubting the wisdom of her sisters plan to
break the law and bury Polyneices, Ismene argues:
We who are women should not contend with men;
we who are weak are ruled by the stronger, so that
we must obey....(346)
Once again Ismene's words clearly state her weak, feminine character and
helplessness within her own dimensions. Antigone, not happy with her
sisters response chides her sister for not participating in her crime and .....

Hamlet: Playing The Roles
Words: 1387 / Pages: 6 .... in his actions and inner state. When questioned by Gertrude about his melancholy appearance, Hamlet says, "Seems, madam? Nay it is. I know not 'seems.'" (1.2.76). This is to say, "I am what I appear to be." Later in act I, Hamlet makes a clear statement about his state when he commits himself to revenge. In this statement the play makes an easy to follow shift. This shift consists of Hamlet giving up the role of a student and mourning son. Hamlet says, "I'll wipe away all trivial fond records, All saws of books, all forms, all pressures past, That youth and observation copied there, And thy commandment all alone shall live Within the book .....

Oedipus: Classical Example Of A Tragic Hero
Words: 1062 / Pages: 4 .... touch but one of you. My spirit groans for city and myself and you at once.” (59-61) From the first, we can tell that Oepidus’ remorse is sincere. He is not consumed in his own misery, on the contrary he is more concerned with the impact on his people.
Long before we come into the story, Oepidus “sent Menoeceus’ son Creon, Jocasta’s brother, to Apollo, to his Pythian temple, so that he might learn there by what act or word [Oedipus] could save [his] city.” (60-73) Upon returning, Creon brings with him encouraging news that saving Thebes is a simple task of finding and driving out Laius’ murderer or murderers. At once Oedipus begins .....
