sexual energy. Hamlets love for his mother is
especially exemplified by the Mel Gibsons
interpretation of the infamous closet scene.

Whitman, Dickinson, Crane, Frost, Cummings, and
Longfellow. All examples of prominent and
reputable men and women of the past who had one

liked. He was known as Edgar Allan Poe. Due to his

Mentally Retarded Mental Retardation
639 words
Fragile X Syndrome is an inherited genetic
condition associated with mental retardation. It
is caused by a mutation of the X chromosome.
Fathers cannot pass the disease onto their sons,
because females always give an x chromosome where
a man gives either an x or a y. If a man gives a y
chromosome, then the result is a boy baby, and
since the disease is only carried in the x
chromosome, a boy can only inherit this disease
from his mother. A girl, on the other hand, can
inherit the disease from ei...

that everyone was born a sinner, that at any
moment God could dismiss a person and condemned
them to hell. Jonathan Edwards, a Puritan,
