what the journalist thinks is important or what the journalist thinks the
audience thinks is important" (Postman, 14).
The Toronto Sun focuses on the audience that yearns for entertainment
and adjuts its word selection and choice of articles to accommodate this need
for entertainment. The glitz and glamour of today's celebrities provide a
fantasy world in which the reader can escape. The Toronto Sun leaves no stone
uncovered as it stays on top of celebrity issues to accommodate their audience ‘
the average Joe' with entertainment. “Michael Jackson's wife gave birth to a

Collective Action Frames
Number of words: 3081 - Number of pages: 12.... the contribution of organized collective action to definitions of social problems and cultural knowledge in general (Eyerman and Jamison 1991; Sztompka 1993). As Benford (1997) explains, doing this entails focusing upon the framing process and providing an in-depth analysis of negotiation, conflict, and compromise in the development of the collective action frame.

Ambiguity And Equivocation In Macbeth
Number of words: 1192 - Number of pages: 5.... before. Macbeth
provides further support for this in his reaction to the witches' prophecy
that he will be king. After Macbeth is made Thane of Cawdor, he realizes
that the witches were right, and immediately begins to ponder the other
part of their prophecy. "My thought, whose murder yet is but fantastical,"
(I.iii.153) he thinks, bringing murder to the front of his mind almost as
soon as the witches are proven right. Later in the play, Macbeth's desire
for power, encouraged by the witches, leads him to kill the king and assume
the throne.
Macbeth and his wife use ambiguity and e .....

Can Media Inspire Violent Crimes?
Number of words: 607 - Number of pages: 3.... Studies show that in one week of content analysis of prime-time output on
seven New York City channels, there were 3,421 acts and threats of violence
observed. Children's fictional entertainment programs had three times the
frequency of violent acts or threats recorded in adult programs. (Gunter,
p.13). many of these acts were committed without any compensation for the

aggressive adults are seeking reinforcement for their own anti-social behavior
from seeing attractive television characters behave in the same .....

King Lear: Searching For Vision
Number of words: 1667 - Number of pages: 7.... one who praises him with the most
"gusto" shall receive the largest area of land. This is even more evident when
you consider that he already has divided up the kingdom before the praising even
begins. As evident as he gives each daughter her land before hearing the next
daughter's praise. Thus the who thing is just a show and an ego boost to himself.
It is because of his love for praise that makes him react so strongly to
Cordelia and Kent when they do not act as he would like them to. It could be
said he is like a child who doesn't remember all that his family has done for
them, but only .....

King Oedpius: Oedpius A Person Of Great Importance
Number of words: 1163 - Number of pages: 5.... a "good" man wish his own brother-in-law dead when no one could even
testify to his guilt? Would a "good" man threaten a timid shepherd with
pain and death merely because he was hesitant to reveal the harsh realities
of Oedipus' life? Oedipus' tale of meeting Laius is another troubling
point. In Colonus he states in plain terms that King Laius would have
murdered him had he not killed Laius. In his initial speech to Jocasta on
Laius' death he tells a different story. It sounds as though he provoked,
or at least escalated, the attack on him, striking the first real blow
instead of going .....

arrested and forced to admit their own guilt and inform on others. Whether
or not the play is historically accurate is not important to the approach
used in this teacher's guide. Although we will suggest ways to examine the
historical backdrop of the Salem witch trials and will discuss how the play
can be used in English and history, we will focus primarily on the artistic
qualities of the play.
The Crucible is extremely appropriate for use in the high school or college
classroom. It is not difficult to read; .....

Similarities Of Two Famous Tales Of Love
Number of words: 695 - Number of pages: 3.... happy like the Nurse. Overwhelmed by all the fighting,
Baby John was much like Tybalt's peace keeping foil character, Mercutio. Lastly,
Doc tried to help Tony and stop all the insanity around him like Friar Laurence.
In both stories, comic relief occurred to keep the audience interested,
but the two plays usually differed in their approaches to comedy. In Romeo And
Juliet, Mercutio amused the audience with his actions and soliloquies. Westside
Story didn't have a character like Mercutio, so it used a combination of their
dance and characters for comic relief. The Jets performed a humo .....
