The seventeenth century in which Shakespeare wrote Macbeth has one very important societal factor which has heavy influence in his tragedy. The idea of “manhood” in a patriarchal society and what it means to be a man is one of the contributing factors to Macbeth's eventual murder of his King.

There was a lot of chatter, and even more excitement, but no one spoke of the odds of success in the great task ahead. We set up the tent and wait. We were waiting for the moment that we would be called, the moment where we would be asked to attempt the task we have been striving forward to achieve for the last few months. Except for me. I will have to be in just

Sin, Sinner, Crimes, and Lady Macbeth It is believed that a sin is a sin no matter under what circumstances it was committed. But is it right to believe this? A person who commits a sin is labeled for life as a sinner or criminal, but sometimes, it happens, that there are times when people do commit such mistakes for which they heavily repent. However, what right do common humans have to make a judgment about anyone other than themselves? What may appear to be true may not be the reality at all.

In his novel Lord of the Flies, William Golding uses symbols to help readers track the loss of civility of the boys. The fire is both a symbol of hope and the reckless behavior of the boys. The first fire is built to signal ships for their rescue; it symbolizes hope here. Once the fire is burning brightly, the boys “paused to enjoy the freshness of [the

William Golding’s novel, Lord of the Flies, is about a group of boys who struggle in maintaining a signal fire while stranded on an island. Often, people believe that the fire does not play an important role in the novel, however, the fire is actually much more sophisticated and is able to represent how their connection to society keeps the boys alive.

As odd as it may sound to have a favorite day that isn’t either Saturday or Sunday, it turns out mine has always been Wednesday. I love the way it’s spelled, and it’s just so fun to pronounce it phonetically: “Wed-nes-day.” I find it interesting how it’s derived from the Old English word, “day of Woden,” Woden actually being the Norse god, Odin, being often seen in various Marvel comics and movies. I’ve always loved Wednesday in regards to it’s placement in relation to the school week. Mondays are

Provided the opportunity presented itself, most people would probably, at some juncture, turn back time. Doing it in one hour increments on the first Sunday in November would certainly not be their first choice, but that’s exactly what we do year after year.
