...Unit 3 activity 7 FINAL The soliloquy in act 4 scene 4 that starts with “how all occasions do inform against me” echoes a monologue recited to Hamlet’s two friends, Rozencratz and Guildenstern. The monologue earlier in the story paints the picture that Hamlet is still struggling with his thoughts of all the events that are happening and he is still unsure of what to do. He is adamant that murdering his uncle is against his character so he finds himself in a dilemma. Following the soliloquy in act 4, the Elizabethan audience is left with a favourable scenario. The lords would favor his philosophical thought process and the lower classes would favor the anticipation of bloody mess end of the act brings. The main reason for this is Hamlet’s soliloquy. This soliloquy serves as a continuation of the monologue to show the audience that Hamlet is getting over all that and is finally set on his mission. It also serves to show the audience how Hamlet came to those final decisions and gives the audience something to be excited for. As Hamlet approaches his destination England, he comes across Fortinbras marching with his army to Poland to fight a way for merely nothing. Hamlet in shock claims that man will fight and act so violently for something of little gain. This encounter reminds Hamlet of what he has to gain from his plan of murdering the king. Following this encounter is when Hamlet recites the soliloquy mentioned before. It is at this point that Hamlet realizes that his duty...

...my best friend that we would meet at the airport at 7 o’clock in the morning, because our flight left at 11 o’clock and we had to check in 2 hours before boarding. We arrived, at our hotel at about 4 o’clock, we decided to unpack our things and after that we went out to eat, we ate at this big fancy restaurant and it tasted like something, I had never tasted before. We spend the rest of the day walking around in London. We had so much fun, shopping all day and then we got drunk at night, and experienced London’s nightlife. One of the biggest things I wished to do was, to see a musical, and I did see one, it was on our last night and I’m so glad I did, we saw “The sound of music”. It is one of the things you have to go to, when you are in London, it was so great I still today 1 year after, remember how the atmosphere was in the big hall, it is something you must experience. That night I couldn’t sleep I was having a nightmare I felt that something wasn’t how I was supposed to be. Before we went to the airport the last day, we went shopping, because I wanted to give my parents a gift, when I was going to meet them at the airport in Denmark. On my way back on the plane I was excited to see my family again, we had arranged with my parents that they were going to pick us up at Aalborg’s airport. We arrived at the airport 20 min. before we were supposed to, and my parents weren’t there. I said to my friend that we could get something to eat we hadn’t been eating for many hours and...

...Savannah West Professor Todd PLAW 235 March 3, 2013 Right to Die Many people don’t believe we have the right to die and that if there is a chance we should stay on machines to sustain us. Should we have the right to die? Does God give us that right? Should we leave it to our kin or have the proper legal paperwork? I would have to say that God doesn’t give us the right to choose whether we live or die and I don’t think we should spend lives on machines, in the hopes that we wake up or to keep us alive for the benefit of another. We should have the proper paperwork standing by for such an occasion because then we aren’t causing our families emotional and monetary damage. There were three high profile cases that brought the right to die to the forefront. The first was Karen Ann Quinlan, who years of death were from 1975-1985. Her parents wanted the machines removed after they were informed that she was in a persistent vegetative state. Her physicians, however, would not remove the tubes and it ended in a court battle. The seconds Nancy Cruzan, years of death 1983-1990, and in her case it was the same, but the attorney general was the one pursuing the case to court for the hospital. This led to the Patient Self-Determination Act, that was enacted in 1991. The third was Terri Shiavo, years of death 1990-2005, who’s husband wanted the feeding tube removed, but her parents wanted her to stay on, which they said where her wishes because she had no written advanced directives....

...Look back through the play to find as many light and dark images as you can. In each case, identify the context; who is speaking? When and where? What kind of effects do these images have? Light and dark imagery: Act 1 scene 1- scene 4 Montague says: Away from light steals home my heavy son Shut up his windows, locks fair daylight out And makes himself an artificial night He talks about Romeo as he is depressed and locked himself in a room. Capulet says: At my poor house look to behold this night Earth treading stars that make heaven light He means there will be a lot of beautiful ladies at the party and their beauties will light up the night sky. Romeo says: Give me a torch: I am not for this ambling Being but heavy, I will bear the light Romeo said this to Benvolio at Capulet party. He doesn’t want to wear a mask because he is in the bad mood, heavy and he will stand still and carry the light. Romeo says: But, soft! What light through yonder window breaks? It is the east, and Juliet is the sun Romeo said this to Juliet. He is saying that her beauty is like the sun. Shining beauty, pure, shiny. Romeo says: Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon, Who is already sick and pale with grief, That thou her maid art far more fair than she Romeo said this to Juliet at the balcony. He is saying that he does not want the sun to arise because that means he will have to go home and there are chances that he will see Juliet again. Act 1 scene...

...argue that every human has the right to die if they are going to be in extreme pain or stress from an illness that comes with impending doom/death. The opposing argument is that human dignity has to be respected and that life is the greatest thing ever and that death is the ultimate evil. In this case of Mr. Collums and his brother (J.K.) with Alzheimer’s, the act of euthanasia is involuntary euthanasia. It is involuntary because J.K. was unable to care for any of his bodily needs, and could not speak or communicate with anyone. He was being fed applesauce through a tube basically. Since J.K. was in a state of vegetation, he was not capable of giving his brother the “A-Ok” to shoot him five times as fast as he could. Being a student of John Hardwig, James Rachel, and Peter Singer, I would argue in Mr. Collums’s side because the philosophers are in favor of dying quickly and painlessly rather than long and suffering. Although the philosophers have somewhat similar arguments, they each bring a unique way of looking at their position and defending it. John Hardwig is the head of the department of philosophy at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. Hardwig’s argument is that there is so called “Duty to Die”. The duty to die goes beyond refusing treatment, also known as passive euthanasia. It also stretches so far that someone may have to end their life, even in the absence of chronic disease and if they would prefer to live. The duty to die becomes more apparent when the burdens...

...Plato was an Athenian citizen of high status, a classical philosopher that lived from 429–347 Before Christ Existed. He died at age 81; he believed strongly in logic and reason. Moreover, his works contained discussions in aesthetics, political philosophy, theology, cosmology, epistemology, and the philosophy of language (Plato par 1). Although Plat existed way “Before Christ Existed” and even before the New Testament was developed, his philosophy seems to have some sort of relation to The New Testament and as Professor Shandon Guthrie mentioned the New Testament for a fact was influenced by Greek philosophers, especially Plato. Their commonalities involve their belief of the immortality of our human souls and dualism, the theory that human beings are made up of two independent constituents, the body and the mind or soul. These facts will present how Plato and the New Testament had relations of their views. Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell. (Matthew 10:28, NIV). Firstly, stated this bible verse it emphasizes to not fear the “One” who destroys both soul and body, but also let us focus on the part that states ‘body and soul’. Plat believed in the dualism, and as previously stated it a theory that humans have two parts, the body and the soul. Also, the bible states in Ephesians 4:4 that “there is one body and one Spirit”, the spirit being internal to the soul, meaning there...

...of deity." And, "There is general agreement among John scholars that this kind of language is a significant pointer to what John is telling us about the person of Jesus." The first time Jesus made this self-existent claim without explanation or without the use of a metaphor was in John 4:26. While speaking to the Samaritan women at the well in this scripture verse, Jesus told her things about herself that no one knew before displaying his deity. The woman questions who Jesus truly is.; The Deity of Christ is examined by the woman when she states to Jesus in John 4:25, “The woman said to Him, I know that Messiah is coming, He who is called the Christ (the Anointed One); and when He arrives, He will tell us everything we need to know and make it clear to us.” The woman is making reference to two Old Testament scriptures found in Isaiah. The first one is Isaiah 45:22, “Look to Me and be saved, all the ends of the earth! For I am God, and there is no other.” The second scripture is Isaiah 43:11, “1I, even I, am the Lord, and besides Me there is no Savior.” Jesus answer to the woman was without explanation “I who now speak with you am He.” The deity of Christ is quickly confirmed when in John 4:28. The second “I am…I am” statement of Jesus is found in John...

...women in the play; Calpurnia, wife of Caesar, and Portia, wife of Brutus. Both of these women are key in foreshadowing the murder of Caesar. After Caesar's murder we do not hear much of either of them. The main thing Caesar's wife, Calpurnia does in the play is tell Caesar to stay at home on the day of his murder because of many unnatural events that have taken place the night before and because she has had nightmares about his assassination. On the morning of the ides of march is the first time we meet Calpurnia, her entrance is act 2 scene one when she tells Caesar "You shall not stir out of your house today." Caesar decides he shall "forth" until Calpurnia tells him why he shouldn't go to the capitol today. Some of the reasons she included were: A lioness "whelped" in the streets. Graves opened and showed their dead people. Warriors of fire fought on the clouds and drizzled blood upon the capitol. Horses neighed and dead men groaned. Ghosts shrieked in the streets. She than showed her discomfort with these things by saying "O Caesar, these things are beyond all use, / and I do fear them." Caesar says these are just as much to him as to the world in general, but Calpurnia insists that when beggars die nothing happens, but when princes die the heavens are ablaze. Caesar says that cowards die many times before their death and death will come when it will come. Then Caesar asked a servant what the augurers say about the subject and they say they found no heart within the beast...

...Essay Exam 4 4. One character that we can analyze is Jack Gladney. when looking at the major personality traits and characteristics of Jack in the book White Noise. Jacks need to change his image due to his position at the College on the Hill is something that struck me as a gender bias. His need to look tough because of his position at the school is described in chapter 4 as follows. “ the chancellor had advised me, back in 1968, to do something about my name and appearance if I wanted to be taken seriously as a Hitler innovator” (Dellilo, 34) Jack later goes on about how he was advised to gain more weight and even grow out a beard to better represent what he was teaching. This describes how Jack has to fit a certain look because he represents Hitler and Jack conforms to these expectations. Jacks desire to conform and fit this image that he has been labeled with is shown again in Chapter seventeen when he runs into Eric Massingale, a fellow College on the Hill professor, at the mall. Massingale is surprised at how different Jack looks out of his college attire. Some or Eric Massingales comments are as follows “I've never seen you off campus, Jack. You look different without your glasses and gown” “You look so harmless, Jack. A big, harmless, aging, indistinct sort of guy.”(Delillo, 106-107) Jacks encounter with Eric prompted him to go on a shopping spree to overcompensate for his harmless image. Jacks desire to fit into his created persona shows the readers that he is uncomfortable...

...Body, Soul and Spirit One of the heated arguments of Christianity is: Are Human Beings composed of two elements or three? Are we body and spirit or are we body, spirit and soul (which includes our mind, will and emotions)? This argument has been going on for centuries. In our modern America, another theory has been formed. We are only made up of one element. We are just glorified animals. We have just evolved and become more advanced than the other animals. There is no such thing as an everlasting spirit. When we die, we cease to exist. This theory, of course, is only accepted by a very few. Those who believe this theory believe that they are so elite, so intelligent, that they are the highest creature that could ever exist. Thus, there is no such thing as a god or eternal spirit that could exist. With very, very few exceptions, all people and all religions believe that we have an eternal spirit that lives on after we die. We believe this, because it is built into us. Our spirit is a part of who we are. It is the part of us that reaches out to God. Even if we don’t know who God is, we know that there is something out there that is calling to us. God Created Us The Bible teaches us exactly how God created human beings. Genesis 2:7 (NIV) says: “The Lord God formed the man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.” The King James Version says that he became a Living Soul. The word translated “soul” (in...

...analytical paper will examine the topics of death, aging and a meaningful life based on the novel Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom. By exploring these topics, we will be exploring the life lessons Albom received from his dying college professor Morrie Schwartz. Albom shares the life lessons his professor passed down to him on death, fear, family and having a meaningful life. By disclosing these he topics, one can appreciate Albom’s thoughtfulness to share his story in discovering life through the death of his professor Morrie. Aging Aging is the process of growing older and includes changes in both biology and psychology. Biology refers to the way the body functions. Psychology describes how the mind functions. How people age has to do with genetics, environment, and lifestyle over a lifetime. The process of aging is complex, and may derive from a variety of different mechanisms and exist for a variety of different reasons. (Health-cares.net). As Morris grown old and was unable to wipe himself during his final days, he says to Albom, “I began to enjoy my dependency. Now I enjoy when they turn me over on my side and rub cream on my behind so I don’t get sores. Or when they wipe my brow, or they message my legs. I revel in it. I close my eyes and soak it up. And it seems very familiar to me. (Albom p.116) Aging and Death 3 It is unavoidable to grow old, and foreseeable to grow old in such a manner to be able to bend down and tie your shoelaces; perform daily ordinary...

...Sproul “No person in history has provoked as much study, criticism, prejudice, or devotion as Jesus of Nazareth.” (Who Is Jesus?) When Jesus is looked at as being more than just a good teacher or prophet debates usually start. The Bible tells us that Jesus was more than just these things. What we know about Jesus is recorded in the Bible by the New Testament writers. Jesus himself clearly tells of his identity in John chapter 10. “I and My Father are one.” (John 10:30 NKJV) Jesus’ earthly ministry began when He was thirty years old. The beginning of this ministry is recorded in the book of Matthew when Jesus goes to the Jordan River and presents Himself to John the Baptist for baptism. Jesus didn’t need to be baptized, but He wanted to identify with sinners so that they would know He loved them. According to R. C. Sproul, the baptism of Jesus not only...

...(Job 37:16). The psalmist said that God’s understanding was infinite (Psalm 147:5). The New Testament also claims God’s omniscience in 1 John 3:20 and Romans 11:33. Omnipotent God is able to bring to pass everything that He chooses. He has no external limitations. His only limits are those He places upon Himself. The book of Job (42:2) says that He can do all things and that nothing can restrain him. Genesis 18:14 simply asks, “Is anything too hard for the LORD?” The answer, of course, is “no.” Omnipresent God’s omnipresence speaks to the fact that He is present in all places at all times. While God is in Heaven, His throne, He is also present in every place. Proverbs 15:3 says that His eyes are in every place. Jeremiah says that God is close at hand and that no one can hide himself from God (Jeremiah 23:23, 24). The classic passage on God’s omnipresence is Psalm 139:7-12 where the psalmist says that he can never be out of the sight of God. Immutable By nature, God is absolutely unchanging. For this reason, the attributes He possessed before the creation of the world are the same ones He has today. Psalm 90:2 says that before anything was created God was eternal and existed in the same state that He is in now. Malachi 3:6 says, “I am the Lord, I change not.” Holy Though all the attributes of God are important and...
