Gattaca The Movie And Discrimi
Number of words: 410 | Number of pages: 2.... for the entire human race such as it was when we landed on the moon in 1969.
In the movie Gattaca they barely showed the moral consequences of the actions. Anton’s father showed more pride in his brother than Anton, but what about Anton making friends, was he doomed to be a social outcast in friendships also? The second rate swimmer so depressed by being second in a race almost committed suicide, what about him? The movie never revealed how poor nations around the world dealt with eventually becoming a nation of an inferior human race. The movie pretty much shows how Hitler’s plan of creating a perfect human ra .....

Shakespeare - Friar Laurence
Number of words: 741 | Number of pages: 3.... 3 when he tells Romeo that he will send a friend of his to inform him the news. Instead of telling him that a fellow friar of his was bringing the message. "I'll find your man, and he shall signify from time to time every good hap to your chances here".
The magnitude of his role is showed again when he is involved in another major part of the play; the marriage. He risks his reputation as a Friar so he can unite to star crossed lovers in marriage. The character of Friar Lawrence is extremely important because if he would not have married Romeo and Juliet the play would maybe not ended in tragedy. This gamble is shown in Act 2 Sc .....

An Analysis Of If Men Could Me
Number of words: 907 | Number of pages: 4.... society today is not one that lends itself to the topic of a woman’s menstruation; quite frankly it is revered as taboo. A woman’s Menstruation (her period) is seen by males as an obstacle and is considered very dirty sexually. The menstrual cycle as perceived by males transcends the sexes and is also shared by women themselves, the monthly burden. Women were thought from they were children that they are frail, hence limiting what they can do, whereas, males are thought how to be tough and that there is nothing a man cannot do. This methodology in child raring is where gender distinctions start. Males are raised to be sup .....

Douglas' "Narcissism As Liberation: The Power Of The Media
Number of words: 1985 | Number of pages: 8.... today.
Douglas clearly communicates her stance on the issue of the power
of media throughout her essay. She believes the media has an extremely
strong effect on American culture today and she does not believe the effect
is a very good one for society. The media does an excellent job of pulling
society into the advertisement which results in sales. The media also does
a very good job in making society believe that not using a certain product
and not achieving the most recent physical "look" makes you worthless and
not desirable. This is Douglas's argument summarized, but it is exactly
what she tries to communicate to her audience .....

Antigone 7
Number of words: 1111 | Number of pages: 5.... out of trouble nor blame her accused actions on someone else. I think that this would show and tell people not to be afraid to say or do what you think is right. Antigone would be a good role model for many people. She wanted to do the right thing for her dead brother. Yet her idea of the right thing to do didn't agree with some people such as Creon. She didn't care about anything else except to do the proper thing, giving her brother a proper burial. She wanted to do the unthinkable- to go and disobey a law that had just been recently made. People should know and learn that they too can change things that seem to be unchan .....

To Kill A Mockingbird - What M
Number of words: 445 | Number of pages: 2.... take on the events of this book only makes those events gain in moral strength, not diminish.
Boo Radley, Atticus Finch, Scout and Jem, Miss Maudie...the characters of this book have achieved an iconic status rare in modern literature. And it has achieved this not by making them Nietzschean uebermenschen, but by entering into their lives with fair, enthusiastic frankness. And to end off, this is one of only a handful of truly successful negotiations between the dramatic (eg. theatre, screenwriting) and the narrative (eg. prose narrative, filmmaking, folk storysongs) I can think of. Lee's dialogue is sharp enough, and immediate eno .....

Othello
Number of words: 761 | Number of pages: 3.... Roderigo is consumed by lust for Desdemona, and would do anything to make her his own. Iago tells Roderigo that the only way to win Desdemona's love, is to make money to procure gifts for her. "...put money in thy purse.." (Act 1, Scene 3, Line 339). However, Iago is just taking those gifts intended for Desdemona and keeping them for himself, and in doing so, making a substantial profit. "Thus do I ever make my fool my purse" (Act 1, Scene 3, Line 376). Roderigo eventually starts to question Iago's honesty. When faced with this accusation, Iago simply offers that killing Cassio will aid his cause and the asinine Roderigo .....

The Tempest: Caliban
Number of words: 1667 | Number of pages: 7.... Ferdinand’s true love.
Miranda: Do you love me?
Ferdinand: ...I...do love, prize, honour you.
There are many suggestions in ‘The Tempest’ that give us clues into the character of Caliban such as being referred to continuously as a tortoise, fish, cat, monster and a misshapen knave, his very name has similarities to Cannibalism.
His mother being a witch does him no favours, but her treatment of Ariel (who we believe to be a "fine apparition" with his beautifully energetic language) certainly reflects badly on Caliban as a blood link, since she imprisoned Ariel in a "cloven pine...(for)...a dozen years&qu .....

The Bluest Eyes
Number of words: 1185 | Number of pages: 5.... Her classmates also have an effect on her. They seem to think that because she is not beautiful; she is not worth anything except as the focal point of their mockery. As if it were not bad enough being ridiculed by children her own age, adults also had to mock her. Mr. Yacowbski as a symbol for the rest of society's norm, treats her as if she were invisible. Geraldine, a colored woman, who refused to tolerate "niggers", happened to walk in while Pecola was in her house. By having an adult point out to her that she really was a "nasty" little girl, it seems all the more true. At home she was put through the same thing, if .....
