Finally Realized Bright Light
1,176 words
It was a normal Tuesday for Ted Williams, on his
way to his job at 6: 30 in the morning. He has no
wife or children and his parents have recently
passed away. He is in a dead-end job that he
hates. He doesnt even know why he continues to
work there; maybe it is for the money or sense of
responsibility. Either way the job is very
degrading. His daily routine is very uniform. He
stops at his usual coffee stand for his
decaffeinated coffee and jelly donut for
breakfast. He then makes his way to the...

the black man's misery. " -Fredrick Douglass, The

Radio And Television Glass Menagerie
1,096 words
At the beginning of the twentieth century,
American theatre was heavily dominated by
commercialism. In 1909, an attempt to establish a
European-style art theatre in New York City was
made (Geisinger, 241). The building was so
cavernous and unsuited for experimental work that
the project failed after two seasons. Dedicated to
producing the best of European and classical drama
and to fostering new American plays, the first
production groups of the 1900 s were amateurs
(Geisinger, 241). The members...

Dead Poets Society Banking Concept Of Education

Does the movie Dead Poets Society demonstrate
education as the practice of freedom and engaged
pedagogy or does it mirror the "banking concept"
of education? I'm convinced this film reflects
both aspects of education. What does engaged
pedagogy and "banking concept" of education mean?

Abigail Williams Scarlet Letter

Love is Revenge 2 REVENGE Love is a strange thing.
It is strong, free, and blind. With it come many
pleasures. However, what often occurs after love
is the antithesis of love. Once love is lost in a
person, a barrage of feelings inhabits that
person. One of the darkest, strongest, most
eminent emotions that occur in a person is the
feeling of revenge. The Crucible and The Scarlet
Letter are both classic and dated stories that are
mostly based upon love, lost love, and revenge. In

about the Salem witch trials, the other,
Sommersby, is about a POW returning home after six
years. These two stories may appear to be totally
different but they do in fact share many
similarities. Three of the characters...

defines each symbol in a different way. Aside from
character symbols, there is overall symbolism in
this play. It is set in a memory, so it creates a
soft, dream-like setting. This lends to the whole
