Good Hands Three Hours
985 words
William Shakespeare is undoubtedly the most
celebrated playwright in history, but he is also
the most severely criticized. Perhaps the play
that has received the most criticism is his final,
The Tempest. The Tempest has been disparaged for
its lack of plot and tension, unparalleled amount
of magic, myth and folklore contained within, and
the lack of character strength. Many claim that
Shakespeare's last attempt at the theater was
futile, resulting in a mind-numbing play about
nothing. Perhaps it...

Robbing American Taxpayers Through Big Business

For most Americans the term welfare is associated
with any number of negative images: laziness,
illegitimacy, family breakup, irresponsibility,
and wasted tax dollars. We hear "welfare" and our
minds conjure up a young unwed mother of two or
three infants, huddled in front of a TV set in a
public housing tenement and living at taxpayer
expense on monthly Aid to Families with Dependent
Children (AFDC) checks and food stamps. We react
negatively because too often these checks

John Stuart Mill D H Lawrence
1,994 words
The shortest of Dickens novels, Hard Times, was
also, until quite recently, the least regarded of
them. The comedy is savagely and scornfully
sardonic, to the virtual exclusion of the humour
that delighted apprehension of and rejoicing in
idiosyncrasy and absurdity for their own sakes,
which often cuts right across moral considerations
and which we normally take for granted in Dickens.
Then, too, the novel is curiously skeletal. There
are four separate plots, or at least four separate
centres of...
