Dated A White First Time One
767 words
Through my life I have usually been on the
receiving end of racist comments, such as wetback
fieldworker etc. In seventh grade I had to go to a
public school because of moving reasons and that
is where the comments started. I can honestly say
that it was the worst experience of my life. There
were only two Mexican in my class; I was one of
them. The other student was also Mexican, but the
catch was that he was a well know soccer player. I
also played soccer, but I was not the all-pro
player. Sin...

As I type away on my computer at my desk made out
of some wooden composite in my tranquil room, I
discern several things. I know what I know, I feel

what I view. When I situate myself in front of a
reflection of Alaina Talbot, I observe carefully.
What do I look for? Most of you would look for the
typical flaws in your individual exterior. I, on

day as usual and decided to relieve my tension by
sitting on the couch for some quality television.
As I turned on the tube and began channel surfing,
I unconsciously stopped at a commercial for a
daytime talk show. Clips of many different women
fighting over men were being shown sporadically.

... there in total shock at what was being said.
My attorney just shrugged when I would look at
him, he never opened his mouth. The death penalty
was suggested as a possibility by a DEA agent,
Orvie Locklar. He was a lifetime friend of my
parents, so they thought. One can only imagine the
helpless horror of that ordeal. I had never had
any court experience, but we were very aware of
just what they were capable of doing. My mother

The Tragic Hero In Antigone
741 words
Antigone is a Greek tragic piece that stresses the
use of power and morality versus the law written
by Sophocles. Both Antigone and Creon, the main
characters in the play, could represent the tragic
hero. A tragic hero is a character who is known
for being dignified and has a flaw that assists to
his or her downfall. In my opinion, Creon best
qualifies for being the tragic hero and fitting
the definition read in the previous sentence. The
things he said, did, and the comments that were
made by t...

fish first struck. At my fathers command, I netted
the fish and hauled it into the bottom of the
boat. I was nearly bursting with exhilaration.
Released from the net, the fish dropped to the

Act I Scene End Of The Play

The Roles of the Fool in King Lear Fools in
traditional royal households were seen as imbecile
and jesters, nothing more. The older role of a
royal fool, which Shakespeare adopted from the
pagan setting of King Lear, was to correct minor
faults and incongruence in their masters. By
detaching the Fool from a conventional fools role,
Shakespeare allows for the crowds suspension of
disbelief in the Fools ability to get away with
the comments he makes to the King. In the opening
scenes, King Lear fa...

human being, no about an idea (237). This is what
