Horemheb Takes One Point Article
635 words
The way this article is written, its almost as a
story is being told with commentary of Egyptian
scholars. This format makes it more interesting,
and gives the article a larger scale. The whole
idea that Akhenaten would go against the old
Egyptian customs is intriguing. The article says
that it is quite possible that he may have been
the first person to attempt monotheism. I can
imagine how angry the populous and high members of
society were. It was a great idea, but it was done
too early and to...

Analyzing Hamlet Sanity In The Play
1,625 words
Hamlet and his sanity can arguably be discussed.
Two ways that this could be so are discussing the
possibility of "his loss of control in his actions
or his ability of dramatic art" (Hamlet's
Madness). When we first met Hamlet he is in a
state of despair. He is an emotional young man who
is struggling with the death of his father. At
this point; his entire life is consumed by
depression. This to me is presumed as normal, for
a person who as suffered a lost, of someone dear
to him or her, as was ...

The madness of Hamlet is one of the most
oft-debated aspects of William Shakespeare's
Hamlet. Was Hamlet really mad, or was he feigning
madness the entire time as part of his plan to
kill Claudius? Through Hamlets conversations with
Horatio it is seen that he plans to pretend to be

reality of his madness into question. After

Brave New World Test Tubes
441 words
The lifestyle of the people created by Aldous
Huxley in his novel, Brave New World, is, in many
ways, a twisted reflection of our own society. As
i read the novel, i noted the similarities and
differences between our society and the Brave New
World. Their use of anonymity, drugs,
manufacturing and conditioning of mens minds,
manufacturing of human cells, and entertainment
that drowns the viewer in sensation can be
compared to many of our own practices. For
example, in the Brave New World, the pe...

Younger Brother Three Sections

As I walk down the hall leading to my room I hear
strange noises coming from my room. I stop at the
door to my room and think about how crazy it's
been living there. Its been hectic living in the

gargantuan. Its almost as if my room has been
separated into three sections so that my brothers
and I have separate areas for our own belongings.
I finally walk in and its like stepping into a
disaster zone. The noises coming out of three

On November 26 th I went to the Stone Pony in New
