Defining The Character Dog Logic Audience
416 wordsRene Quine Dram 1310 Defining the Character A character can be foremost defined by their appearance. The costume for Anita in Dog Logic defined several aspects of that character. The actual appearance of her immediately told me she was old. She had her hair in a bun, wrinkles, and she wore her outfit the way an old person would wear their clothing.

Play Julius Caesar Caesar
872 wordsThe play Julius Caesar, by William Shakespeare, or as I prefer to believe Edward de Vere, introduces many readers to a world where speeches are made on many occasions. In this world of rhetoric, persuasive oratory, speeches help people persuade crowds. However, a crowd is not always persuaded by speeches. If a speech is poorly developed with no supporting evidence, a crowd may not agree with an orator. They may instead support the ideas of another orator. In the play Julius Caesar, two prominent...

Form Of Justice Justice System
1,419 wordsThroughout the ages, there have been many different laws and punishments used to bring order to societies. In America today we use a system of justice, which we modeled after the Greek states of thousands of years ago. In Aeschylus The Eumenides, we see the birth of the civil justice system as we use it today. Before Athens became a great power the people relied on vengeance as justice, which the Greeks described as the supernatural beings of the Furies. In The Eumenides Aeschylus introduces a n...

Despite the professionally trained forces that often outnumbered him ...
