Andrew Carnegie Giant Of Industry
569 wordsAndrew Carnegie, the King of Steel, the benevolent employer, the giant of industry, was among the greatest influences of the second industrial revolution. It is sometimes questioned whether Carnegie was the ruthless, sneaky steel tyrant some made him out to be, or the generous, benevolent education benefactor he appeared to be. I believe him to be a combination of both, but more so the great giant of industry. Carnegie was the classic rags to riches story, the penniless immigrant who made it big...

Act 2 Scene 2 Love For Ophelia
991 wordsAppearance vs. reality in Shakespeare's Hamlet is a jaded yet common theme. This play is teeming with characters that play their roles behind a veil of duplicity. They often appear to be one way when they really are something entirely different. The most evident player in this game is our beloved Hamlet. He mourns so deeply the death of his father and hatred for his mothers ignorance that he appears to be quite insane, when in reality he uses this false madness as a decoy to avenge his fathers w...
