Hamlet By Shakespeare
Number of words: 1410 - Number of pages: 6.... and cares about his son, Laertes. He speaks to his son with advice that sounds sincere but in reality it is rehearsed, hollow and without feeling. Polonius gives his advice only to appear to be a good father. The reality is he only speaks to appear sincere as a politician, to look good rather then actually be good. Polonius even ends his speech to his son by saying:
"And borrowing dulleth th' edge of husbandry.
This above all: to thine own self be true,

Lysistrata
Number of words: 916 - Number of pages: 4.... below the walls of the Akropolis, smoke pours out of the bundle of sticks, making it appear as if a fire has really been ignited. Fortunately the women are ready and the fire is extinguished and the men all doused with water, which is portrayed well with buckets and actions that look as if the men are being driven away by the water. When Kinesias comes to see Myrrhine, and they head off to Pan’s cave, the stage lighting is dimmed to give the effect of the darkness of being in a cave. The most strikingly visual use of stage props is the appearance of larger than life erect phalluses un .....

Cry Wolf
Number of words: 2854 - Number of pages: 11.... outcry to rectify the situation created by
the ignorance of our ancestors. However, in seeking to address a situation
created by the human compulsion to control nature, it is crucial to discern
how much human interference is necessary. Human control must be tempered by

dominance over it.
The consequences of human actions involving the elimination of the gray

It is not just about war and the fighting, the book gives details about the camp and the other soldiers that Henry Flemmings interacts with. Stephen Crane has a unique writing style because it is very symbolic and it paints a lot of pictures for you.
