.... had disappeared, impressed me and made me curious to see what life during those times was like. One of the theme of the film was activated when Scarlett O’Hara, the young heroine, was disgusted with the boys talking about war all the time. Her innocence and carefree nature could be seen in that scene. I was in awe with the lavish scene, beautifully costumed and photographed at the Twelve Oak’s ball and barbecue. Its magnificence suggests an idyllic culture with warming and abundant security. The major characters were one by one introduced with immeasurable boldness that draws the viewer to them. I was immediately attracted to the lighthea .....

.... dark colored. The first image we, as a reader, are given of Othello is that of a black ram having sexual relations with Desdemona. Iago’s line reads “Even now, now, very now, an old black ram is tupping your white ewe� (1.1.88-90). Later on in the play, there are many other references to Othello's color and race. Desdemona's father, Brabantio, is appalled to learn that his daughter is having a relationship with a “sooty bosom� (2.3.27). Emilia refers to Othello as a black devil (5.2.132). This scene does not suggest that Emilia is racist in any way. She most likely was angry with Othello because he had just killed his innocent bride. However .....

.... the beginning and three times during the next sentence, “And all the men and women merely players;� (2.7.140). The next sentence is lower in pitch, using a lower ‘ e' sound “..exit and their entrances,� (2.7.141). Reappearing in the final two sentences, before the actual ages begin, is the ‘aw' sound. The fluctuation like that of a ring master, is striving to gain attention before the show starts. The first three stages can be considered the childhood progressing into adulthood stages. “Mewling and puking...� (2.7.144), are two words, which when said, they are slurred and unclear, much like that of the speech of an infant. The ‘ .....

.... on media culture could never be complete without bringing up Madonna. She can be discussed in terms of feminism, ideology, hegemony and commercialism as seen in both Kaplan's as well as in John Fiske's article on British Cultural Studies. In order to properly explain how the “Madonna Phenomenon� has become such an important concept in media studies, one must look first at how influential MTV (music television) has become in the last decade. MTV addresses the “desires, fantasies, and anxieties� of young people(Kaplan 270) who have, like myself, grown up in a decade when all the traditional institutions and theories that were always respecte .....

.... not gone at all, just muffled by many people's views. The 54th regiment was incorporated because people thought it would only be fitting that blacks be able to fight for their own freedom. The problem was that the blacks were still thought of as inferior individuals. This is why it took so long for a black regiment to come into existence. A good example of the racism that was still existent in the north is when the 54th met the white regiment coming back and were called "nigger"s and were taunted. Another good example was that Blacks were not allowed to go to military academies, and that is why the regiment was led by white officers. Colonel Shaw .....

.... had been frozen, or dead, perhaps, since the group "broke up" many years ago. Another possibility is that the title symbolizes each individual's stolid realization that a certain part of their lives was dead, or frozen. This could refer to Alex, who had killed himself. Or it could refer to their friendship, which pro bably dwindled down from an occasional phone call to a seasonal letter or card, and eventually to virtual non- communication. The title could even have yet another "hidden" meaning. It could refer to the group's total loss of communication with Alex. This could have led to the point where nobody was able to see anyt .....

.... 181). Ophelia of course, has no idea of the state Hamlet is in. She probably figures his state of mind is caused by her obeying her father’s orders. For instance, Arthur Eastman states: “Hamlet vents upon Ophelia; it is his sense of outrage at Ophelia, that she could place obedience to her father before her love for him� (194). Hamlet does not understand her obedience to Polonius. Therefore, in the Nunnery Scene, Hamlet confesses to Ophelia that, “I loved you not� (3.1.117). He has too much pride and rage to confess his love for her. In essence, “Pretty Ophelia,� as Claudius calls her, is the most innocent victim of Hamlet’s r .....

.... "Come, you spirits/That tend on mortal thoughts! unsex me here,". I think that Shakespeare is showing us that, you must be careful what you wish for. When Macbeth returns to his castle Lady Macbeth greets him with joy, addressing him as "Great Glamis". Macbeth tells her "Duncan comes here to-night". Upon hearing this Lady Macbeth says "O never/Shall sun that morrow see! She sees Duncans coming not only as an opportunity to murder Duncan, but also as a sign of fate. Lady Macbeth tells Macbeth that tonight he must act like "flower" but act like a quote "serpent under't". These small quotes show how scrupulous and cunning Lady Macbeth is. To furthe .....

.... of a conversion by the grace of God. It is sudden, unexpected, and comes from someone who is not necessarily a model citizen. The central figure of the film is a southern evangelical preacher, the self proclaimed "Apostle". In the beginning, this man is the picture of a stereotypical "Bible-belt" minister. He is loud, flamboyant, hypocritical, and uses his influence to become a pillar of the community. However, slowly loses everything he holds dear. He loses his wife to another man and loses his job at "his church". He then commits a heinous act which puts his wife's lover in the hospital and eventually kills him. Then he chooses the least hono .....

.... executed. However the king, Duncan, was not going anywhere. Macbeth wrote to his wife Lady Macbeth and told of the “predictions.� This is where the witches unexplainable powers come in with their knowing Lady Macbeth’s reaction of the news of Macbeth’s becoming king. Then it is reported that Duncan is coming to visit Macbeth’s castle. The thought of royalty for Macbeth and Lady Macbeth and the opportunity to have the king within striking distance appeal to both of them. This causes them to act against their king even though they were loyal to him. The events all occurred because the witches’ simple knowledge of what would happen if .....
