Billion Per Year War On Drugs

America is spending millions of dollars to run ad
campaigns with teenage waifs smashing up the
kitchen with frying pans, brain fried egg
commercials, and other inaccurate and misleading
ads put fear into our nations youth and adults
alike. One such ad showed a flat line brain scan
purportedly hooked up to a drug user. It was later
proven that it was hooked up to nothing and most
of our nations kids now know it. Seeing the "Land
of the Free" turn into a nation that imprisons

Supreme Court Ruled Death Penalty
538 words
The death penalty seems to be a controversial
issue for most people. Supporters claim that it
eliminates repeat offenders, deters potential
murderers, and is the ultimate retribution.
Opponents denounce it as murder, say that it does
not cause deterrence but rather promotes violence,
and claim that it introduces the chance of an
innocent person being executed. Of all the
arguments presented by both sides, one seems to be
more compelling and crucial than the
rest-deterrence. Will the use of the d...

Macbeth Not A Play Of Fate
872 words
William Shakespeare's Macbeth is not necessarily a
play of fate, but rather a tragedy that occurred
as a result of uncontrollable greed and
malevolence by Macbeth and his wife. The weird
sisters only make suggestions about Macbeth's road
to kingship; they do not cast spells to make true
all their predictions. These interpretations lead
Macbeth and Lady Macbeth to kill Duncan and secure
the title Thane of Cawdor. While in kingship
Macbeth elects to kill Banquo and his son,
Fleance, for Macbeth wa...

imagery to create an intensely satisfying and
compelling drama. The general setting of Macbeth
is tenth and eleventh century Scotland. The play
is about a once loyal and trusted noble of
Scotland who, after a meeting with three witches,

Gender Roles And Macbeth
1,026 words
What roles and actions should actors of a
particular gender portray? Should men be
aggressive and have a level of ambition high
enough to meet their loftiest goals? Should women
always be passive and frail, never using their
energy to advance their lot? William Shakespeare's
Macbeth is a tragic tale of one mans deadly and
unchecked ambition to be king, and his wifes lust
for power and title. By the final act of the play,
Macbeth has been consumed by his own drive. The

Appearance Versus Reality Act Three Scene
821 words
The snake has long been used as a symbol of sly
subtlety. A serpents presence has been
characterized by cunning cynicism dating as far
back as biblical times, when the snake persuaded
Eve to eat the forbidden fruit of Edens garden.
Even the phrase snake in the grass expresses
latency. Shakespeare uses this treacherous reptile
in Macbeth to convey the same evil. In his poetic
prose, Shakespeare may not speak of a characters
malevolence directly; rather, he alludes to it
through serpentine imagery...

In the play Macbeth by William Shakespeare there
are many forces that lead to the downfall of the
lead character, Macbeth. The most dominant one,
prophecy is introduced at the very beginning. If
it were not for prophecy, none of what happened
would have occurred. Any other forces that may
have had a secondary role in leading Macbeth down
were brought to life or nursed with the hearing of
the prophecy. The prophecy is always on Macbeth's
mind during the entire play. He even returns to

Banquo asks that witches if they can foretell
future, they hail him as a future sire of Scottish
monarchs, and when Macbeth then asks the witches
to explain their salutations and the means by
which foresee future, they vanish into thin air.
Banquo ultimately concludes that the witches are
not an hallucination, nor are they of substance,
explaining to Macbeth that, "the earth hath
bubbles, as the water has/And these are of them"

Throughout the years I have had great interest on
the topic of capital punishment. The question is
whether or not there is justice in capital
punishment. I have spent the past few years of my

determine whether justice presides. In the past
years many lives have been taken by the
government, but it? s not just lives they take but

Shakespeare's Macbeth. These forms of
disintegration include marital disintegration,
moral disintegration, and psychological
disintegration. In the beginning of the play,
Macbeth is portrayed as a noble and loyal
character who is defending his country against
traitors and foreign invaders. However, as the

infliction of the death penalty, is not anything
new. Throughout history, all over the world,
people have been put to death for stealing, fire
starting, witchcraft, sexual immorality, and
hundreds of other offenses. Ancient Greece had
even used the death penalty for minor offenses
such as laziness or stealing a piece of fruit. Of
course this is an extreme example of the evilness
of capital punishment, but even for an offense
such as murder, much less any ...

Ordinary Citizens Gun Control

One of the biggest issues in the United States
that I would change is gun control. The government
is slowly chipping away at our constitutional
right to keep and bear arms. This action puzzles
me because I do not see why this is happening. Gun
control is based on the faulty notion that
ordinary citizens are too hazardous and to ill
tempered to be trusted with weapons. Only through
the slight alterations of specific constitutional
rights is gun control even possible. Every year
the U. S. takes aw...

Hannibal by the highly acclaimed thriller writer
Thomas Harris. This book is a stylish, smart
journey through the two relationships between
Hannibal Lecter and his counterparts Mason Verger

Capote Town Fiction

Truman Capote, one of Americas more colorful
literary personalities, was born in New Orleans in
1924 and died in California in 1984. He wrote both
fiction and non-fiction short stories, novels and
novellas, travel writing, profiles, reportage,
memoirs, plays and films. His work of fiction that
is probably most well-known (although not many
people know that Capote wrote it) is the novella
Breakfast at Tiffany's. What I am most interested
in, however, is his masterpiece, In Cold Blood.
