In Komroff’s account, The conspirators had planned for much longer than the other authors recorded. Komroff wrote that the conspirators convinced the Senate to offer Caesar the crown. The conspirators then placed a crown on a statue of Caesar that was quickly torn down by Caesar’s friends.

The Ugly Tie
Number of words: 258 | Number of pages: 1.... a lust of
shiny plastic coating. The tie is milky colored all around and at the
center a cherry colored circle. However, as creative as it may seem, the
tie is indifferent to any color other than ivory or ebony. Thus, a snow-
white suit with beaming bleach-white colored shoes is necessary in order to
pair with this particular tie.
History has taught that fashion is something that relates to the
time period. As the people evolve from the seventies they realize that
clothes could not be outrageous or it would decease as a fad.
This bland tie fits very well with the seventies or the eighties
because fashion was at its ex .....

Number of words: 1003 | Number of pages: 4.... a respectable member in society until she was charged with adultery. People’s thoughts of her are shown here, “Such helpfulness was found in her,--so much power to sympathize,--that many people to interpret the Scarlet A by its original signification. They said it meant Able; so strong was Hester Prynne, with a woman’s strength”(Hawthorne 111). Hester’s alienation from society made her sensitive to the problems of other people.

Jordan Baker says,"Gatsby bought that house so that Daisy would be across the bay."(page 79).

Cry, The Beloved Country
Number of words: 1221 | Number of pages: 5.... is trying to break free from the white people, but having little
success. It is this so called racism that is essential to the setting
of the story. Without it, the book would not have as much of an impact
as it does.
The story begins, as many great stories have begun, with a
solitary man taking a long and dangerous journey to a distant land.
The man is an Anglican Zulu priest, Rev. Stephen Kumalo, and the
journey is to the white-ran Johannesburg in 1946. Like a weary prophet
taking a biblical sojourn to Sodom, Kumalo is seeking out lost members
of his family who have left the townships for the li .....

Gentlemen Of The Night
Number of words: 1441 | Number of pages: 6.... them accessible while never diminishing their significance.
Dylan Thomas' emotion was at times erratic…He used to say, of his poems, that they could be read either softly or loudly, exercising both ends of the spectrum. Thomas' poems were a very real part of his being, expressed throughout the verse. He said of his work, "I let, perhaps, an image be 'made' emotionally in me and then apply to it what intellectual and critical forces I possess..."There is also conveyed what the poet himself described as his "individual struggle from darkness towards some measure of light." This intensely personal quest is balanced, in his writi .....

Merchant Of Venice - Antonio A
Number of words: 559 | Number of pages: 3.... of Venice and seeing how unjustly poor Shylock was treated by his Christian contemporaries, I can't help but wonder if Shakespeare was actually trying to show the world how hypocritical members of any religion could be, be it Jewish, Christian, or anything else. For, although these two disliked each other based mainly on differences of religious doctrine, they had more in common than bleeding when pricked, laughing when tickled, or dying when poisoned. They are both extremely greedy. Actually the whole play is based on greed and money.
Shylock, in particular, keeps babbling on and on about those precious ducats of his, as .....

Brave New World Vs. Our World
Number of words: 1042 | Number of pages: 4.... in order to destroy individuality and freedom of thought. For as Mustapha Mond says, “It isn’t only art that’s incompatible with happiness; it’s also science. Science is dangerous; we have to keep it most carefully chained and muzzled” (Huxley 231). The Controller has made thinking impossible by taking away all science, art and religious based books. Literature, such as Shakespeare and the Bible, that teaches old-fashioned morality and beliefs is non-existent in the brave new world because people cannot understand its text. Life’s colors are dulled because the individual never has the chance to enjoy everything th .....
