772 wordsSituation Comedy Before writing this essay, I watched a old re-run of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, and I read the chapter in the television textbook where a episode of Leave It to Beaver was broken down into Act One, Act Two, Act Three and Act Four.

Act Four Scene William Shakespeare
614 wordsThere are so many different themes and issues in the play The Tempest by William Shakespeare, that it is difficult to define which is useful and which is not. To explore this concept, it would be prudent to look at 4 themes and issues in the play.

534 wordsDuring the time of the Salem witchcraft trials, a number of wrongfully accused citizens were killed, due to the mass hysteria that had enveloped the community. Among these Puritan citizens is John Proctor, whom I believe dies a hero, not only because he refuses to surrender to the corruption in society, as did the rest that were put to death, but also because, in doing so, he is able to relieve himself of a guilty conscience. John Proctor is a respected man who chooses to die for what he hopes w...
