Lady Macbeth Imagines King Of Scotland
1,701 words
By the end of Sheakspeares "Macbeth, " Lady
Macbeth has proven that her imagination is
stronger than her will. During the beginning of
the play, Lady M had been the iron fist and
authority icon for Macbeth. She was the voice of
determination and hardness, yet deep down, she
never carried such traits to begin with. She
started this ordeal with a negative, bombastic
rhetoric, preying on Macbeth's weaknesses in order
to egg him on. In no way did she make a positive
contribution to Macbeth or to her...

Im Not Hungry Eric Realizes Mirror

It was a small, circular, mysterious mirror. When
Eric picked it up, he saw his crystal clear
reflection, enhanced by the smooth, silver glass.
He looked up out of the old boxes he was rummaging
through to find the rest of his dimly lit garage.
He could hear kids playing outside and he rubbed
his hands together, trying to remove the sting of
the bitter cold. He picked up the mirror, and took
it into his mansion of a house in a quiet,
peaceful suburb. It was a Midwestern winter, and

One By One Accept In Order Story
1,096 words
To accurately discern what does and does not
happen in fictional stories, one must develop a
kind of story competence, which Livingston
describes in Whats the Story? Story competence
relies on making judgements based on reasoning
about characters motives and authors intentions.
Only the latter is of concern here, which
Livingston refers to as the intentional heuristic:
a moderate form of internationalism. The
intentional heuristic is an aid used to determine
which beliefs an author intended his ...

Make Their Rounds Long It Takes Johnny
653 words
Johnny Got His Gun was not what I expected it to
be. I thought it would be about the battles that
were fought throughout the war. Instead it was
about a man who had been severely injured by a
bomb. The entire story takes place with the
protagonist in a hospital bed. He remembers his
childhood and thinks about the war. He cannot see
or hear and has to rely on touch to know whats
going on around him. This setting was very
different from all the action I expected from a
war book. 9; I guess its ...

jewellers throughout history. Prime among these is
its resistance to corrosion. The only chemical
that can dissolve or even tarnish pure gold is
