Anthony Ray Hinton does an amazing job showing us what his life was like and all the ups and downs while on death row, in The Sun Does Shine. In the beginning of the book, Hinton and his mother have a very strong relationship with each other and God. His mother is always looking to God for help and trying to keep Anthony’s hopes up through God. He questions where God is and how God could punish him. His faith is shaken throughout this book, but it comes back stronger, and in the end, it helps him keep his strength of not giving up. He remembers what his mother would always say to him about “God never failing” (Hinton 87), and he would repeat this to himself to keep his life steady. The only thing he had left was faith. Hinton would also reference the book of John and Mark several times. Both of the verses he picked in both books relate to the truth. He continued to recite these verses because it helped him believe that the truth would set him free and if that is what God willed then it would happen. While reading this book you tend to feel that God is with him at all times, especially when Hinton leaves God behind by putting his Bible under his bed.

He shows him love. Hinton also forgives all who hurt him from the state of Alabama. This shows his character and how God is truly with him through all this whether it seemed like it or

Jonathan Munby's production of Antony and Cleopatra, performed at the Globe Theatre in august of 2014; proves that Shakespeare’s classic tragedy can still be reinterpreted, approximately 400 years after its first performance. The reinterpretation presented at the Globe Theatre focuses on the values of Rome and Egypt, but presents a modernized view of the cultures. Eve Best’s performance as Cleopatra is captivatingly active; but is unable to sufficiently captivate the tragedy of some scenes, such as in her outrageously comedic portrayal at the news of Antony’s marriage to Octavia. However her character is perfectly matched by Jolyon Coy’s Caesar, who is equally fierce as Cleopatra is active. The two empires of Egypt and Rome are the focus of the performance; which highlights the similarities of the worlds rather than focusing on the differences, as is commonly done.
