Life Is A Game Holden Caulfield
1,029 words
I swear to God Im crazy. I admit it. It is very
easy to automatically assume that Holden Caulfield
is crazy. Its even a logical assumption since
Caulfield himself admits to being crazy twice
throughout the course of the book. However,
calling Holden Caulfield crazy is almost the same
as calling the majority of the human race crazy
also. Holden Caulfield is just an adolescent
trying to prevent himself from turning into what
he despises the most, a phony. Most of Caulfield's
actions and thoughts a...

Edgar Allan Poe Allan Poe Allen
788 words
Edgar Allan Poe was a predominate and highly
influential figure in world literature. Much of
Poe's notability is based on his ingenious and
profound short stories, poems, and critical
theories. The innovative way that he wrote
established a pretense of how the short form in
both poetry and fiction should be, which is one
reason they regard Poe in literary histories and
handbooks as the architect of the modern short
story (Quinn 93). It was Poe's particular genius
that in his work he gave consumm...

My paper report came a bit late but I was
extremely exited to go. I got to watch "Love's
Labor's Lost" preformed by the drama department in
Juilliard School in Manhattan. I went alone and
got through on a waiting list. I never read the
play and had no idea what to expect. It turns out
that a play is much easier to understand if you
are watching people act it out on stage than if
you are reading it from a script. And that play
was meant to be watched. It was full of obscure
jokes, and strange lan...

Avenge His Father Ghost Of His Father

In Shakespeare's Hamlet, the main character offers
a puzzling and ambiguous persona. Throughout the
play, Hamlet often contradicts himself. He seems
to balance the virtues of playing a role, with
being true to himself. Further proof of these
conflicting personas are demonstrated by his
actions and inaction's. The ambiguity noted here,
lies in two conflicting mannerisms displayed by
the young Hamlet: One that is perfectly calm and
rational; and another which displays madness.
