Mademoiselle Reisz Adele Ratignolle
909 words
The Impressionist The opponent has just made his
final play. The outcome of the game all depends on
the next move. The mind, which was once hazy, is
now becoming clearer. The goal is now in focus.
She makes her move towards the left and then
quickly retreats as though her body were to be
sliced in half. She thinks this cannot be right,
just because that move works for my teammate does
not mean that it is right for me. There are two
paths that can be taken to ensure victory or as it

Gender Roles Todays Society

... argued that similar differences existed among
humans. Consequently, he concluded that men are,
"more courageous, pugnacious and energetic than
woman, and have more inventive genius. " Darwin
did much to damage society during his day, women
in particular. Victorian assumptions of the
inevitability and rightness of a woman's role of
domestic moral preceptor and nurturer and man's
role of free-ranging aggressive provider and
jealous patriarch were enshrined in Darwin's
reconstruction of human e...

King Lear Original Text
1,481 words
When dealing with text of Jacobean writers such as
Shakespeare, one has a great deal of freedom in
interpreting it. His words are full of not only
meaning, but entendre's, alliterations, and
metaphors that allows a great deal of artistic
freedom when actualizing it into performance.
Perhaps that is why his plays have been a longtime
favorite standard performance material, and more
recently (the past 100 years), have become very
popular to produce and present What allows for
Shakespeare to be pre...

Neil Postman takes a pessimistic view of
technology and its future in his book Technopoly:
The Surrender of Culture to Technology. Upon first
reading of the title, I was prepared for yet
another example of meaningless technology bashing.

required for this problem, it does attempt to

which threw up masses of dust into the upper
atmosphere, which made the summer of 1816 one of
