‘A plague a’ both your houses!’ Shakespeare has used the word plague because plague is a disease that kills people one by one and he used the word to define grudge as something that kills everyone one by one. Shakespeare used this technique; imagery to make act 3 scene 1 exciting and dramatic for the audience because this part of the scene in the whole play, when Mercutio dies which is very significant because Mercutio was Romeo best friend and until now Romeo was calm so after the event we don’t know how Romeo is going react towards Tybalt which increases the tension to the climax because this part of the scene the character Romeo is going to change from calm to violent.
The third thesis states a monster questions our system of defining things. A great example of this occurs in the scene where the Joker threatens to blow up a hospital. At the beginning of this scene the Joker’s voice is on live television, and he states that if the reporter is not killed in 60 minutes he will blow up a hospital. This leads the town to mass chaos, because the police are protecting this reporter and civilians are trying to kill him. No one ends up killing this man so the Joker blows up a hospital, but luckily all of the hospitals have been evacuated.
“Popol Vuh” and “Genesis” were very similar in many ways, but the main one I thought was how they killed people. “For yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty days and nights; and every living substance that I have made will I destroy from off the face of the earth.”(70). This quote was from Genesis’s Noah and the Flood, and it showed how angry God was at the people. He killed everybody on the Earth except for Noah with this deadly flood. “The earth was blackened because of this; the black rainstorm began, rain all day and rain all night.
“[Tom Robinson’s] left arm was fully twelve inches shorter than his right… I could see it was no use to him” (186). This proves to the reader how prevalent discrimination is at this point in time. When Tom was accused, it was like shooting a mockingbird because Tom had done nothing wrong. Boo Radley is accused, through town gossip and rumours of trying to kill his family, “Mrs.Radley ran out screaming into the street that Arthur was killing them all...” (11). He was also accused of having to go to an asylum, because he was crazy, however, “no Radley was going to an asylum” (11).
The conspiracy was believed to be true by these furious people who were blind to even recognize what they believe. White people became paranoid about black slaves’ revolt and they eventually believed the blacks were trying to kill them. The whole conspiracy, in my opinion, is an unjust accusation of powerless black slaves for a few coincidental fires in the city. The story begins in September, 1741, with several houses and buildings caught on fire including the governor’s building that the city documents were kept. Week by week, number of fire increased and during this time, one slave named Cuffee was caught from fleeing the scene of fire, starting the whole chaos that created whole illusion of great negro plot (42).

One of the nights before the play, Lincoln had a dream of an assassination, HIS assassination! He thought this was ridiculous, yet he shared his dream with his loving wife, who, out of concern, wished to cancel their trip to the theater. Lincoln insisted that it was a fluke. Lincoln’s bodyguard, Stanton, worried for his employer as well. Harsh feelings could bring up the incentive to kill the famous president.
Karina Vargas Jesse Markay History 251- Sec. 05 April 13, 2015 1831 Year of Eclipse by Louis P. Masur Eclipses were seen as “signs of forerunners of great calamities” (Pg.4). To others it was a sign of fear that meant death was near; people even began to change their ways to their friends and loved ones. The eclipse signaled many that it was time to act in war and it was also seen as coming evil. It was like a storm that consisted of slavery, abolition, tariffs, colored rights, and nullification.
And putting a bullet through his head” (Collins 62). Unintentionally, Katniss has reinforced the rebellion causing the entire district to go into madness. This is just one example of the rebellion being one of the main themes in this book. Another instance that shows how revolt is a primary theme is when Katniss meets two travelers from District 8, Twill and Bonnie. These two travelers are making their way to District 13, which is believed to have been destroyed seventy-five years ago.
She came down from the heavens and told me that this was all of Poseidon’s illusion. She brought up the night when the oceans split and bright light appeared. She thought that Poseidon must’ve sent us through some portal that changed both the time period and the place of where we were. I thought it was our punishment from him for stabbing his son in the eye. In the dream the goddess also told me that I had to leave the island in a month because Poseidon will mind control all the inhabitance to kill us.
