1,269 wordsIago's Motivation Iago is a moral pyromaniac. Harold C. Goddard writes that Iago consciously and unconsciously seeks to destroy the lives of others, especially others with high moral standards (Goddard 76).

Shyamalan Sixth Sense Caro
442 wordsReview of a Review Mark Caro seems to let one flaw ruin an entire movie. In his review of Unbreakable Caro admits that the duration of the film is commendable, but its ending is too disappointing to look past.

Commit A Crime Convicted Criminals
1,002 wordsIt is unreasonable to think that to take the life of a man who has taken that of another is to show lack of regard for human life. We show, on the contrary, an emphatic regard for it, by the adoption of a rule that he who violates that right in another forfeits it for himself. My agreement with these, the words of philosopher John Stuart Mill, compels me to affirm today s resolution, that capital punishment is justified. My value premise for the round will be justice, giving each individual his ...

Saturday Evening Post Comedy And Tragedy
1,618 wordsSince the dawn of literature and drama, comedy and tragedy have always been partitioned into separate genres. Certainly most tragedies had comedic moments, and even the zaniest comedies were at times serious. However, even the development of said tragicomedies left the division more or less intact. Integrating a total comedy and a total tragedy into a holistic union that not only preserved both features, but also blended them into a new and harmonious entity remained elusive. That is, until Catc...

Middle Aged Man Clich
1,428 wordsLolita is perhaps one of the most disturbing novels of the century: it tells the immoral story of a middle- aged man who falls in love with a twelve year- old girl (a nymphet, as he calls her) and has a sexual relationship with her for over two years, until she disappears with another more perverse middle- aged man. What makes this novel particularly disturbing is the fact that Humbert's sexual perversion is disguised in highly poetic garb and that the only monitor of virtue is the gifted perver...

Peoples Republic Of China Jiang Zemin

Rather, it is to inform the reader of communism's migration through time and hopefully...
