Williams 1 T.J. Williams Mrs. Schofield. English 9H December 19, 2012 Edward de Vere and the fame he deserves. For many decades, Shakespeare is known to be the greatest authors ever to walk on earth. All of his work is well known by many people all around. With every legend, there is always is theory, did shakespeare really write all of his work?
Hence the reason that a part to the petition was that ministers should not to wear gowns. Elizabeth quite liked that aspect to the church but when the puritans knew there was to be a new king, they knew there was a chance they could change the church to be adapted back to the protestant ways. James was known to be interested in church matters and they hoped he would give their petition a serious consideration. Hence the reason that a part to the petition was that ministers should not to wear gowns. This brings me on to a long term issue of the Puritans which lead them to the presenting of the petition.
It is especially known for one of its greatest authors, William Shakespeare. Although his poems were good, his plays are what he is mostly remembered for; he wrote forty plays including The Two Noble Kinsmen and the two lost plays attributed to him. His plays are so special because they can be adapted into modern day situations and still make sense, thats why there can be modern versions on Macbeth and Romeo and
The content in the work is imperative to the messages it communicates. “Take the N-word out of ‘Huckleberry Finn’ and is it still ‘Huckleberry Finn’? Probably not, after all it is a book narrated in Huck’s voice.” writes journalist Delia Lloyd about the subject. The individual ideas in the book can’t be as easily conveyed in ‘politically correct’ language. When Huck says “Jim had an uncommon level head for a nigger” the message he is conveying to the reader will be distorted if you alter what Twain originally wrote; the sentiment will not have been as accurately communicated.
Doing this is important to a modern audience as the play includes hints about future events that are unknown to the characters, so the hints are meant for the modern audience as they have prior knowledge that the characters do not have. This is device is known as a dramatic device, which is where the audience knows things that the characters in the play do not. Examples of this occurring are when Mr Birling says “Germans don’t want war” near the time of WW1, and when he says the Titanic is unsinkable. This is important as this gives the audience certain feelings such as anger, and to show Mr Birling’s ignorance towards other people. Priestley’s aim to writing this play is to convey the message that we have a responsibility for each other, and what could happen if we are ignorant about ourselves and that we are “a part of one body” as the Inspector says in his closing speech giving
Williams has read The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, and where Julius Lester does not understand the novel, Williams does. He begins bye recapping the book’s long, history of censorship. “The earliest censors… believed the novel would corrupt the young” (Williams 98). In the story, Huck would spit and do rude things that were believed to be unsuitable for young readers at the time. These opinions have, however, changed.
In particular, when speaking of Spies, the lines are not as clear as they do not accept the tenets of Christianity but see activities such as prayer or forgiveness as useful to the secular world. Because of this area of debate, the idea of absolutes is not possible. Without absolutes, how can we actually give someone guidance on how and where to go in their lives? Without a spiritual path that is laid out and definite, where does someone with a troubled soul go? I am grateful for the door that the book opens by illustrating how the two worlds of psychology and Christianity can be married yet as in any marriage, there is always areas that are not
English 1302 WS7 05 April 2010 Individuality and the Law Today there are many laws that are written for the people of the United States. Within these laws are issues that some may find morally unjust, and not want to follow. In Sophocles’ play Antigone, written in 441 B.C.E., these same issues existed. Antigone felt that even though she was breaking the law to bury her brother she had a religious right to uphold. To her, the religious laws were more important than the governmental laws she was being asked to follow.
That being said anyone who is religious would feel uncomfortable while watching “Religulous”. The name to me was well thought out but offensive, “Religulous” a portmanteau or blend of the two words, religion and ridiculous. To me the movie should have actually been called “Christian Bashing Featuring Some Other Religions for Split Seconds” by Bill Maher. I wrote down many of his questionable quotes that are almost intelligent. Bill Maher is a smart individual but an agnostic can only promote what they know which means not very much when it comes to religion.
Back at the Globe Theater, the peasents came to watch Shakespeare's plays as well as the wealthy nobles. Similarly, everybody in today's society has read one of his works or has seen a modern adaptation of one of his plays. Shakespeare was the greatest and most talented writer of his time, and has kept that title throughout the years to the present. He will always be one of the most memorable and significant writer in history, and will continue his legacy for years to
