Stuck In The Middle
.... escaped the scene and
headed for the hideout where all the men were supposed to meet. On the way to
the hideout Mr. Orange was shot, he was bleeding severely but the injury was not
life threatening. Shortly after their arrival, Mr. Pink met with them and they
all anxiousley waited for Mr. Blonde.
Mr. Blonde, acting cool and unaffected by the mornings events, made his
entrance. After being questioned by Mr. White about why he went psycho in the
store, Mr. Blonde called them out to see a "surprise" he had in his trunk. Mr.

Abstract Expressionism
.... field. He visualized a state of feeling, and a
sense of bliss and wonder. Mondrian took a different approach with tighter
geometric orientation and stricter compositional order. He was also
inspired by landscape but he interpreted it as a series of interlocking
vertical and horizontal lines.
It would be hard to advance any definition of abstract expressionism
without taking into account the vast and varied cultural and historical
happenings that led to its birth. This artistic movement evolved over a
long time. As we look closely at any of the members of the generation
identified with abstract expressionism, their biograph .....

MTV And The Madonna Phenomenon
.... MTV (music television) has become in the last decade. MTV addresses
the “desires, fantasies, and anxieties” of young people(Kaplan 270) who have,
like myself, grown up in a decade when all the traditional institutions and
theories that were always respected, are being questioned. It has become the
center of discussions of many young people who have grown up idolizing the
figures shown on the network. MTV is a culture in itself. With it's own news,
fashion and music programs it can easily be the considered the basis for the
formation of thought of an entire generation.
The images depicted in music videos, of androgynous stars and .....

Antigone: Who Is The Tragic Hero?
.... quality is his caring for Antigone and Ismene when thier father
was persecuted. Those who stand behind Creon also argue that Antigone never had
a true epiphany, a key element in being a tragic hero. Creon, on the other hand,
realized his mistake when Teiresias made his prophecy. He is forced to live,
knowing that three people are dead because of his ignorance, which is a
punishment worse than death.
My opinion on this debate is that Antigone is the tragic hero. She
tries to help her brother without worrying about what will happen to her. She
says, "I intend to give my brother burial. I'll be glad to die in the attempt,

A Doll's House: A Push To Freedom
.... her responsibilities in marriage, she is forced to conceal the
truth about her late husband's behavior ( ). Like "A Doll's House", "Ghosts"
can be misinterpreted as simply an attack on the religious values of Ibsen's
society. While this is certainly an important aspect of the play, it is not,
however, Ibsen's main point. "A Doll's House" set a precedent for "Ghosts" and
the plays Ibsen would write in following years. It established a method he
would use to convey his views about individuality and the pursuit of social
freedom. The characters of "A Doll's House" display Henrik Ibsen's belief that
although people have a natural .....

Support Through The National Endowment For The Arts
.... not mean that restrictions
should be placed on it preventing people from viewing it. The taxpayers
money should not go towards the presentation of such works. A large
percentage of funding of the arts comes from private giving. If a minority
group wishes to view such art, they should have to support it themselves.
In cases such as the Maple Thorpe exhibits, it seems to be self supportive.
It is hard to justify spending tax dollars on something that is going to
offend those who put out the money. Tax dollars are to benefit the public,
not to provide for individual tastes, especially those that are offensive
to the general pu .....

Creon's Role Of King And His Responsibilities
.... whom the citizenry look to blame. This is
analogous to executive leaders throughout history, as one can see in looking at
American presidents and the correlation between the present conditions and
events of the nation to the public's opinion of the president, regardless of the
actual impact that his decisions may have made in these conditions. Creon
maintains that he has the same amount of power as the king but without the
accountability that inevitably leads a king to distress.
Creon's reasoning concerning the equality between his power and
Oedipus's leads him to state:
I was not born with such a frantic yearn .....

The Crucible: Although Abigail And The Girls Initiate The Tragedy, Responsibility Lies With The Whole Salem Community
.... the end she is adamant to convince the court that they were only involved
with witchcraft because of Mary Warren, hoping profusely to save her own name.
Denial in Salem is considered a terrible sin. The narrow mindedness of the
court possesses an unwritten law that if your name is brought out within the
court, without any questioning, you are presumed guily. Innocence is not taken
into consideration, and only until the victim confesses,, is the court convinced
they were right. There is no hearing for the victim, and if they are innocent,
they have the choice of denial, and being hung or confessing an being thrown

Darkness; Beacon Of Chaos In Macbeth
.... as "black Macbeth" and a "tyrant". The Castle that
Macbeth lives in, Dunsanine is also indicative of darkness. Dunsanine is similar
to the word dungeon a dark and dirty place. In Act 4 Macbeth is an agent of
disorder, he murders and he consults witches, because of this he is described
using dark imagery.
Scotland under the rule of Macbeth is described as, "shrouded in
darkness", by Malcolm. Scotland in Act 4 has fallen off the "Chain of Being" and
is now occupied with the forces of chaos and disorder. Scotland in Act 4 is
filled with "sighs, and groans, and shrieks, that rent the air". Scotland is
described by Ross as, .....

David Williamson's "The Club" And "The Removalists"

stop me winning a flag."
However, Jock does support and use tradition when it is in agreement
with his goals. For example when trying to avert a players' strike, Jock claims
that former Club heroes would be disgusted by the idea, "I want to turn all
those photographs around so they don't have to look down on this shameful
scene." However, it is later revealed that Jock supports the buying of players
and a coach who has not played for the Club, both of which are against
traditions, to ensure that the Club wins a premiership next season. This
hypocritical attitude towards tradition is probably a fairly t .....

Death Of A Salesman: Willy's Life Is An Illusion
.... The problem with Willy is that he
never grows up and deals with his obstacles.
Willy is also a very stubborn man. He is like a little child that wants
to do something their way even though they know that another option would be the
wiser choice. Charley practically sets a potential job into Willy's lap and he
refuses it. Willy just was fired and needed a job. He refuses one. Willy is
too stubborn to let go of his old job and take a new one. He still believes
