Visions Of The Crime Committing The Murder Raskolnikov
690 wordsIn the novel Crime and Punishment, by Fyodor Dostoevsky, suffering is an integral part of every character's role. However, the message that Dostoevsky wants to present with the main character, Raskolnikov, is not one of the Christian idea of salvation through suffering. Rather, it appears to me, as if the author never lets his main character suffer mentally throughout the novel, in relation to the crime, that is. His only pain seems to be physical sickness. Raskolnikov commits a premeditated mur...

Balance Of Power Card Game

Im A Fool Female
262 wordsI very much enjoyed reading the short story Im a Fool. It was very readable and it made a lot of sense to me. I know exactly what the narrator was feeling and thinking in the story, as I have been in similar situations. There are often times when you feel that it is necessary to build yourself up in order to impress someone-usually a female for myself. I dont know why I do it or why other guys do it, but we certainly do. Perhaps it is to simply impress, or maybe to make me feel like I am an impo...

Aggressive Behavior African Americans

Romeo Kills Doesn T
1,472 wordsThe very first thing that surprised me in Shakespeare was the fact that I came across an unfamiliar in Romeo and Juliet. This surprised me since I had read it so many times. The part that caught my eye was the fact that I never stopped to think about why Romeo kills Tybalt. It has always seemed to be that Romeo was revenging Mercutio to me, but this play I didn t notice evidence to that. It seemed more that Mercutio s big mouth was the only instigator in his death. The only inkling of animosity ...
