Yet there are many facets to his personality that contribute to the state he and the family are in during the play.

past he was a great dad, but that’s because his sons were turning out OK by
his standards. A person’s character should be judged when times are hard

Willy’s sons Biff and Happy are men of good character. Biff is
living his life the best way he knows. He is .....

Understanding The Misunderstood Art From Different Cultures
Number of words: 650 | Number of pages: 3.... a smiling monkey is the scariest thing they could ever imagine, and to
another, it means laughter. A close minded person viewing an ancient religious
mask would see nothing more than nonsense, while one who wishes to understand
art would see the beauty of that culture and it's beliefs, and would try to
place themselves in a way so that they may understand the original meaning ofthe
mask, and form an educated opinion on it.

Number of words: 745 | Number of pages: 3.... throughout the movie directing the

new way. One can argue that this version of Romeo and Juliet would be
understood even without spoken words. The camera-work tells the story as

stops moving. Like Oliver Stone's Natural Born Killers the editing is fierce
and in your face. There is little time to think as the perpetual images flash
across the screen. And it works. You become entranced and cannot wait to see
what happens next even if you are already familiar with .....
