Brandi Martin October 4th, 2011 Humanities I Professor Asher Essay #1: The Odyssey Homer is arguably one of the greatest ancient Greek poets in history and his works have been strategically analyzed and debated in classrooms everywhere. For example, a great discussions lies in The Odyssey questioning whether or not Penelope recognizes Odysseus before Book XXIII. Some argue that she is clueless, but it is my opinion that Penelope knew Odysseus was disguised as the beggar the whole time.

8th juror, an architect and father of two, is the only juror to vote 'not guilty' in the first instance. Amongst these twelve anonymous men, he is the first to really gain the audience's attention, willingly and publicly going against the majority of the group by voting 'not guilty' after all the others vote 'guilty' (p.7). In this early action, we can identify many important qualities of his character. He is willing to question the 'facts' with which he has been presented.. He has compassion for the accused.
Will has more skills than what it takes to clean hallways and bathroom stalls, in fact he is a pure genius and is the person who completely solved the problem mentioned in the quote above. Now Professor Lambeau stated that he was hoping someone might prove it by the end of the semester, it had taken Will only one night to accomplish such an astounding task. Will is portrayed as a hoodlum from South Boston, who has succumb to his life of working in labor. Little does everyone know the true intelligence of this young man and the heights he could reach if his incredible uneducated potential was educated. In this movie there are situations where a myriad of theories could be used to analyze the circumstances that
To sum Don John up in one word, it would have to be mischievous. Although he only appears in six out of the total seventeen scenes, we can see that Don John enjoys stirring everything up for everybody. As soon as Don John found out about an intended marriage, he said “Will it serve any model to build mischief on?” Don John will go to great lengths to cause even a tiny bit of trouble. We know this because in act two, scene two, line 48, he promises 1000 ducats, which is a lot of money, to Borachio if all the misbehaviour is pulled off. To sum up

I try not to rile you into battle, but subdue you into acceptance. You are the most excellent of listeners. Aristotle studied for years under a moss-green Oak tree outside Athens.

"Well, as genius as he was onstage, he was the greatest friend you could ever imagine: supportive, protective, loving. It's very hard hard to talk about him in the past because he was so present in all of our lives," Crystal added, sharing personal stories of Williams' ante-upping banter with the former's own immigrant relatives in private moments. "For almost 40 years, he was the brightest star in the comedy galaxy." Though the best testament to Williams' manic and diverse comedic range was in the star's own words — as shown in a video montage of the comedian's clips and quips. After the montage, the lights faded and the photo of Williams receded into the
You have learned every exercise quickly, the old samanas have admired you often.” In this one sentence alone, the author repeats the word “learn” three times. Also, to characterize Siddhartha as very curious and very questioning of the world around him, Hesse covers Siddhartha’s wonders on an entire page, page three. At times I feel as though Herman Hesse overdoes this repetitive emphasis. I want to start out with the differences in the main character Siddhartha and Santiago.
