Sicilian Mafia Organized Crime
1,755 words
Organized crime has always been occupied with a
negative label. Perhaps this is due to the
constantly changing environment in America as well
as the social state of its homeland, Europe. Our
society is convinced that the so-called Mafia is a
family of pure criminals, pimps, and murderers.
Whatever the opinion, there is no doubt that the
Mafia played a big part in the history of America
and the way Americans view crime today. The
origins of the secret society known as the Mafia
are believed to be...

Romeo And Juliet Friar Laurence
847 words
Romeo and Juliet is Shakespeare's most popular
play. It is the most retold and reiterated since
it deals with everyday aspects of life such as
love, tragedy, and in particular, family. The
roles of parents and "substitute" parents are
important in this play. The biological parents of
Romeo and Juliet are supposed to act as role
models and guides for their children, but
ironically, it is the substitute parents, Friar
Laurence and the Nurse, who are only seemingly
supportive of Romeo and Juliet; u...

Clever Smoother Dreamier Three Second Rule Girl
1,089 words
Feelings can twist reality in the most peculiar
ways. Emotions push the mind to the most stunning
conclusions, and stir within the soul the
strangest storms. In fact, senses reach their peak
in David Wagoners poetic work The Best Slow
Dancer. In the poem, Wagoner brings out the height
of sentiment through the eyes of a teenage boy at
a school dance, who overcomes the teenage social
hierarchy and his own fear to share in the
longed-for dance with one special girl. All the
while Wagoner takes his ...

Streetcar Named Desire Blanche Dubois
600 words
The moment Blanche DuBois, Tennessee Williams
central character in A Streetcar Named Desire,
enters the small New Orleans apartment that
Stanley and Stella Kowalski share, one can sense
exactly what Blanche is, or at least what she
chooses to be. In appearance, she is a glamorous,
ladylike aristocrat, who is perhaps slightly
nervous. She parades about the house as if she is
a regal figure, wearing elegant gowns and delicate
jewelry. However, this is merely a face. Although
Blanche was once a kin...

Rose For Emily Miss Emily
961 words
Authors traditionally use symbolism [as a way] to
represent the sometimes-intangible qualities of
the characters, places, and events in their works.
William Faulkner's essay titled, A rose for Emily,
is a very controversial form of symbolism.
Literary Critics have questioned Faulkner's reason
for the title A rose for Emily. Why a rose for a
murderer, and what is the significance of that
rose? When people think of a rose, they think of a
romantic environment or a holiday in which a
person express...

David Herbert Lawrence, novelist, short-story
writer, poet and essayist, was born in
Nottinghamshire, England, in 1885. Though better

The preface to this book is very cool. I know that
this book is totally fictional, and is in no way
real, but the preface makes the book sound like it
was written from ancient scrolls and manuscripts
that were uncovered through his journals. The
preface describes how he was able to get all of
the material to write the book. It is incredibly
detailed and extremely vague at the same time if
that is possible. With all of the history and this

Arthur Dimmesdale Nathaniel Hawthorne

A great deal of blood has been shed and many wars
have been fought during the history of
civilization; however, mans greatest battle and
most formidable enemy is only himself. Humans like
to think of themselves as faultless, but sin is
inevitable. Mankind is a sinful race; therefore,
everyone has sinned. This has been made only more
evident with the passing of time and the
development of the human character. Not every
person has the ability to address the concept of
sin and also display it in a ...
