Number of words: 1574 - Number of pages: 6.... background is filled with hate
because of his connection with the Klan. "The second member of the team was a
Klansman by the name of Sam Cayhall," "The FBI knew that Cayhall's father had
been a Klansman, . . . " (Grisham 2-3). Sam, who is brought up under the
influence of the Ku Klux Klan, uses "politically incorrect" terms for other
minorities when he talks with Adam Cayhall in death row. " ‘ You Jew boys never
quit, do you?' ", " ‘ How many nigger partners do you have?' " " ‘ Just great.

Romeo And Juliet: A Review
Number of words: 1087 - Number of pages: 4.... is
when Capulet asks Lady Capulet for a sword and she replies “A crutch, a
crutch! Why call you for a sword?” In this line the mockery of Capulet is
obvious and appealing to the audience as it is direct.
Shakespeare is known to be fond of puns and uses them quite
regularly but he doesn't use them as often as the Elizabethan audience
expected him to. Shakespeare starts of the play with a lot of humour, with
the conversation between Sampson and Gregory, both of them using a lot of
puns. This type of punning, for example on the words “coals,” “collier,” “
choler,” “ .....

Critical Article On MacBeth
Number of words: 536 - Number of pages: 2.... sense". This paragraph shows an
example of what Robertson disregarded:
"But cruel are the times, when we are traitors And do not know
ourselves, when we hold rumour From what we fear, yet know not what we
fear, Each way and move."
Robertson, after contemplating this passage, remarked that this is
"certainly not Shakespeare's" because of the earlier point based above.
Empson believe's that Robertson's flaw comes within his translation of the
lines, "hold rumour could be like 'hold parley with'" and goes through a
retranslation of this short passage. "No one who had experi .....

Springer Vs. Winfrey: The Battle Of The Talk Show Giants
Number of words: 704 - Number of pages: 3.... but the list of dangerous love triangles, broken homes, devil worshipers and the popular talk topic of the Klu Klux clan goes on. The Springer show is a display and misuse of societies’ moral tragedies. Yet people love to be voyeurs to the moral dilemmas of others.
Oprah Winfrey was once a follower of the same trash TV format, but her long running popular TV talk show changed for the better. Like the Jerry Springer show, the Oprah Winfrey show takes talk TV to the extreme, but Oprah goes in the opposite direction. Oprah is probably the most impeccable talk show there is and ev .....

Death Of A Salesman: Society's Alienation Of Willy Loman
Number of words: 888 - Number of pages: 4.... Actually,
Howard never intended to give Willy his job back. He was merely trying to take
Willy's position because he didn't believe Willy could hack it anymore. This is
a reflection of society's present day treatment of the elderly. Younger
generations now, move older people into rest homes and try to keep them out of
public view, for risk of embarassment. This is reflected by Howard's statement,
"I don't want you to represent us anymore." Society's assumption of Willy's
capabilities, in this case, cost him his job.
A second occurrance that displayed Willy's alienation happened in h .....

Analysis Of The Final Scenes Of Alfred Hitchcock's Notorious
Number of words: 1297 - Number of pages: 5.... and sets it on a small table in front of her.
Here, Hitchcock not only zooms in on the small teacup, but heightens the sound
it makes connecting to the table, includes it in every shot possible, and shows
us not only the full coffee cup, but the empty cup as well after Alicia has
drank it. Again, the cup is zoomed in on after Alicia realizes she's being
poisoned. Because the coffee is poisoned, the coffee itself becomes a metaphor
for life and death, supported by the fact that the poisoner herself ours it,
and the shots of the full and empty teacup. In this way, it also suggests

Analysis Of Witches In Macbeth
Number of words: 364 - Number of pages: 2.... his head without the witches help.
I say this because when you reason things out by yourself you tend to now what
is right and what is wrong, a conscience. But with the outside influence from
the witches he thinks that that is his destiny and he must do everything to
fulfill it.
What the witches say in the beginning is what influences the entire plot.
Macbeth hears these words and then tries to make them happen because he
listened to the witches and thinks that he is to become King. Macbeth wants
this to happen so badly that he tries to come up with plans and arrange things
in order for .....

Talk Show Trash
Number of words: 1380 - Number of pages: 6.... told of his experiences of picking up
male gay prostitutes in the streets of New York City on many occasions. Now my
question is that is any of this even necessary for people to watch, or the
embarrassment of the individuals and those mentioned in the show.
The next trash candidate would definitely be Jerry Springer, who tries
so very hard at the end of his show to put real-life meaning to the topics of
his show in “Springer's thought of the Day.” Topic this time is “pssst.. I have
a secret to tell you.” During the duration of this show topics ranged from a
forty year old wome .....
