Friar Lawrence affects the action of Romeo and Juliet by marrying Romeo and Juliet, helping Romeo escape Verona safely, and helping them reunite by giving Juliet a sleeping potion to fake her death. In Act II scene III, Friar Lawrence says, “For this alliance may so happy prove/ To turn your households’ rancor to pure love (II, iii, 94-95).” This means that Friar Lawrence will agree to marry them, but only because he hopes their marriage will end the feud between the Capulets and the Montagues. In Act III scene III, Friar Lawrence says, “Either be gone before the watch be set,/ Or by the break of day disguis’d from hence./ Sojourn in Mantua; I’ll find out your man,/ And he shall signify from time to time/ Every good hap to you that chances here (III,iii,171-175).” This quote states the plan that Friar Lawrence made to help Romeo escape Verona and keep him updated on what happens there. In Act IV scene II, Friar Lawrence says, “There’ll be no warmth or breath to prove that you’re alive. / The color in your lips and cheeks will fade/ to pale ashes; your eyelids will close/ like death when he shuts up the last day of your life (IV, ii, 100-103).” In this quote, he is describing the effects of the potion he will give Juliet to fake her death.
During the sixteenth century in Italy, marriages were pre-arranged by the parents and/or guardians, whether or not their children had passionate feelings for each other. Such is the case in William Shakespeare’s tragedy, Romeo and Juliet. The prospective groom, County Paris, actually appears to love his intended wife Juliet, who, unfortunately for Paris, loves another man—Romeo. Under scrutiny, Paris’s love for Juliet rings false, while Romeo only professes his own love more deeply. Paris’s insincere love does no justice to his case; in fact, it serves to further illuminate the legitimacy of Romeo’s adoration.
To label someone is to attach a meaning or definition to them. Studies show that teachers often attach labels to pupils regardless of their ability or attitude, but instead based on stereotyped assumptions about their class background, labelling working-class pupils negatively and middle-class pupils positively. Howard Becker carried out an important study on labelling and found that teachers judged pupils according to how closely they fitted an image of the ‘ideal pupil’. We can see how the process of labelling can affect pupils by looking at Aaron Cicourel and Johm Kitsuse’s study of educational councillors. The study found that the counsellor judged pupils largely on their social class; this therefore put them at a disadvantage as middle-class students were placed on higher level courses.
I’ll make you quiet; what! – Cheerly, my hearts!’’ (Shakespeare 1.5.96-97). That’s where love story of Romeo and Juliet begins because they’ve met each other at the Capulet’s party. Lord Capulet should have paid more attention to Juliet's wishes and listened to her opinion rather than to be friends with Paris. He forced her to marry Paris “But fettle your fine joints ’gainst Thursday next To go with Paris to Saint Peter’s Church” (Shakespeare, 3.5.172-173).
The great thought of been wealthy and having luxurious objects excites oneself.This idea that materialistic things are going to make us happy can be a disappointing to those who have it all (money,cars,women ) and are still not happy .Media gives us a fake or rather an illusion of what we need ,what we desire ,what we love .We all want to be successful and have a life just like Jay Gatsby ,to be known as a hero and to be know as a wealthy successful person . But is that all we are in this world for ? is that all that our heart and body really wants? , or is that something that our mind has been forced with all this media .When we die would people come to our funeral because its in their heart or because it will benefit their pocket. I feel like the way the book was written was for the reader to really get a sense of the life that The Gatsby was living , the amount of people who knew him or off him .
One noticeable tendency of the men in Othellowas their negligence to constantly refer to the women as “whores”. Throughout the play Othello is led to believe on several occasions that Desdemona is being unfaithful to him, and out of fear of her unfaithful deeds refers to her as a “whore” (Act 3 scene 3) a “subtle whore” (Act 4 scene 2) as well as a “cunning whore” (Act 4 scene 2). Furthermore, at the end of the play when Emilia reveals Iago’s role in the events that had just occurred, he lashesback out of anger referring to her as a “villainous whore”. Although there is no distinct evidence that these women are guilty of any inappropriate form of sexual conduct, they are nonetheless harshly accused. It is quite evident that as the male society was quickly falling apart, they have no other option other than to vent their anger by categorizing all females as whores.
After the test I read the results and decided what I am going to do for my career. I sat down with my family and told them what I want to do, and about my goals. They told me that would be great. We all then started putting things together to see what I need to do to reach my goals. I made sure that I would have help around the house while I am going to school, then my oldest daughter told me that she would be so proud to see me succeed my goal.
