...Essay: What atmosphere does Kenneth Branagh create at the start of his film version of much ado about nothing and where in the play is the source of his ideas? In the act 1 of the scene 1 of much ado about nothing by William Shakespeare, a messenger arrives in the Italian town of Messina, with a letter that informs the kindly Leonato that he will welcome to Messina some soldier friends who are coming from a victorious battle. These friends are Don Pedro of Aragon, a nobleman, and Claudio, a warrior. Hero, Leonato’s daughter and Beatrice, her cousin, accompany him. Beatrice and another soldier of Don Pedro’s army, Signor Benedick, are in a “merry war” but they never saw each other. Beatrice cleverly mocks and insults Benedick. There are no stage directions so this leaves the stage director lot of freedom to achieve the adaptation. The opening of the film version isn’t the same as the book version; the film starts with a poem recited by Beatrice, but Shakespeare original version starts directly with the messenger that arrives. Firstly, in the film adaptation of much ado about nothing by William Shakespeare, at the beginning, Kenneth Branagh creates conviviality and a merry atmosphere that isn’t really described in the play thanks to: - The landscape and the climate, the bright light of the sun. They live in Messina, in Sicily, and Sicily is known for the hot climate. After the poem of Beatrice, at the beginning, we see a painting of Messina; it shows that Messina is picturesque...

...------------------------------------------------- Instant Messenger has become one of the most common means of communication. Nearly everyone has it, nearly everyone uses it, and those who use it use it nearly every day. Josh Keys, a guest columnist for the BG News, observes, "As I walked down the hallway to a friend's dorm room, I couldn't help being distracted by a distinct, yet now common tone coming from almost every room in the hall.... Every day since I've been here, I hear the same tunes: . . . the sound of the very trendy AOL Instant Messenger service (Keys 4). According to a survey that I conducted among students at Bowling Green State University, 30 out of 46 respondents said that they spent as much or more time on conversations through Instant Messenger as through e-mail and/or phone. Twenty-one of these respondents reported that they typically spend more than an hour per day using Instant Messenger. (Survey). In a certain sense this is to be expected. Throughout history, old forms of communication have continually been replaced by new ones. Face-to-face conversations were the only way to communicate before the written word. Communication then advanced from letters to telephone conversations, to e-mail, and now on to Instant Messenger. There are many reasons for accepting this new form of communication. It is more convenient, it is popular, and it allows people to control the conversation and project any image they wish. However, the main reason that Instant Messenger is so widely used is that it...

...Contracts Exam Question (with sample answers) Question 1 H. Bigbus (B hereafter) operates a construction supply business in Harrisburg. B specializes in supplying difficult-to-locate plumbing and light fixtures for contractors who do remodeling work. B sent the following letter to five contractors in the Harrisburg region: OFFER TO THE TRADE We have cornered the market for a source of brass "Orient Express" wall hanging light fixtures. We know (and we're sure that you do, too) that these fixtures are in such great demand that they are nearly impossible to obtain. If you are willing to take all your needs from us, we'll guarantee delivery at $20.00 each. I. M. Sap (S hereafter), a contractor who remodeled about twenty houses per year, received one of B's letters. S was interested in the lamps, so when he was near B's place of business, he stopped in and asked B the quantity of lamps available. B replied that he had a large quantity of lamps in his warehouse. On the following day, B sent a messenger to S’s place of business with a letter that provided as follows: Dear S: I can give you ten percent off the quoted price if you will agree right away to my proposal by picking up lamps. What do you say? Do we have a deal? S did not respond. However, on the following day, S was present at the building site of X, another contractor, when a large load of the "Orient Express" brass lamps that X had ordered from B arrived. There at X's job site S saw the lamps for the first time, and realized...

...the imminence and certainty of the future coming of the messenger.70 Yahweh’s announcement about the sending of the messenger (mal’ak) may allude to Exodus 23:20 where Yahweh promises to send an “angel” or “messenger” (mal’ak) in front of Israel in the journeys to Canaan. Furthermore, the call to prepare the way for Yahweh may also allude to the call in Isaiah (40:3), a text which the Gospels relate to John the Baptist. “Important for the verse is the identification of my messenger and the messenger of the covenant. The use of the first person pronoun “my” in the verse and the description of his task to prepare the way before the Lord distinguishes “my messenger” from Yahweh.” Also, the sending of the messenger excludes the possibility that Malachi is referring to the priests who earlier are identified as the “messenger of the Lord Almighty” (2:7). Rather,...

...everything except poetry and communication with women. “Letters are commonplace enough, yet what splendid things they are! When someone is in a distant province and one is worried about him, and then a letter suddenly arrives, one feels as though one were seeing him face to face. Again, it is a great comfort to have expressed one's feelings in a letter even though one knows it cannot yet have arrived. If letters did not exist, what dark depressions would come over one! When one has been worrying about something and wants to tell a certain person about it, what a relief it is to put it all down in a letter! Still greater is one's joy when a reply arrives. At that moment a letter really seems like an elixir of life…” (Sei, 1991, pg. 207). Sei Shōnagon immediately brings to us such an important part of day to day life in Heian japan. Women and men at court exchanged letters constantly. Because they were not really allowed to speak in public, women were often shielded from society by screens; most communication between women and men was done via letters. They could spend hours trading ‘notes’ back and forth beneath a silk drape: “the Gentleman on his cushion on the Veranda and a gentlewoman safely ensconced behind her blind or curtain close by” (McKinney, 2006). Within letters like the ones that Sei Shōnagon describes above, poems often played a central role. The diaries are filled with poetry. People even exchanged poetry and letters within the confines of their own homes (Arntzen, 1997)...

...Running head: SIGNIFICANCE OF DNA Significance of DNA Significance of DNA Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) was first discovered in 1869 by Johann Friedrich Miescher, but it was not until the 1950s while studying viral replication did Alfred Hershey and Martha Chase determine DNA was Genetic material. In 1953 James Watson and Francis Crick discovered DNA was a double helix (a double helix looks like a twisted ladder). The discovery of Watson and Crick opened the door helping describe the significance and importance of DNA as the molecule of inheritance while addressing the structure of the DNA molecule, and why is a molecule of DNA so perfect for the job it performs. I will look at what exactly does DNA code for, how is that translated into actual traits, what are mitosis and meiosis, what are the similarities and differences, and what do mitosis and meiosis allow for. I will show how traits are passed from parents to offspring and lastly describe how knowledge of DNA and genetics can help in my life. The Significance and Importance of deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) as the Molecule of Inheritance The significance and importance of DNA “is the body’s instruction manual for making you who you are. It is present in any living being. It carries all the instructions and materials the body needs to function”(Leving, 2008). The DNA in cells is all the same for individuals, which create a specific identity for each individual. Discuss Briefly the structure of the DNA Molecule...

...“It is agreed, in this country, that if a man can arrange his religion so that it perfectly satisfies his conscience, it is not incumbent upon him to care whether the arrangement is satisfactory to anyone else or not.” – Mark Twain (476) Introduction Samuel Langhorne Clemens, better known by his pen name Mark Twain, traveled the world and got to know imperialistic endeavors from many different nations. After he returned to America on 15 October 1900, he joined the “Anti-Imperialist League” and actively opposed policies of the United States and Great Britain (William D. Howells and Mark Twain 723). In 1905, Mark Twain composed the short story The War Prayer in an effort to open the eyes to patriotic, war-loving people. This term paper will be a close-reading on Twain’s short story The War Prayer. The focus will not be on what was said about this short story by other authors, but rather give an explanation and deeper understanding on its satirical criticism on people’s patriotism and their glorification of war. The First Paragraph “It was a time of great and exalting excitement” (Twain 652). After reading these first nine words in Mark Twain’s The War Prayer one expects the time of “great and exalting excitement” to be one of technological advances or economic strength, or at least having to do with another peaceful connotation. Twain diverts these associations with his satirical competence by writing “The country was up in arms, the war was on . . .” Therefore, a “time...

...Satan has made their deeds look good and blinded their eyes from seeing the truth. Prophet Sulaiman AS was very pleased with Hudhud. He then wrote a letter and gave to Hudhud to deliver to Queen Bilqis. Hudhud flew with that letter to the city of Saba and dropped the letter on the lap of Bilqis when she was in the palace. Hudhud then withdrew quickly from their sight and monitored them secretly. Bilqis opened When Bilqees received the letter and read it. Then, she called her advisors and said, "I have received an honorable letter from Sulayman. It begins In the name of Allah, the beneficent, the merciful and it reads: "Accept Allah (swt) and worship only Him. I am his prophet, believe in what I say and accept my command". Bilqis asked her advisors to advise her as to what she should do. They replied, "We are very strong and have a powerful army to fight against Sulaiman, but the decision is yours and we will obey your order." Bilqis decided not to fight against the Prophet Sulaiman AS but she sent him valuable gifts to see his respond instead. The messengers of Bilqis arrived at the land of Prophet Sulaiman AS. They were shocked with the wonder of his kingdom. They thought that the gifts they had brought were worthless compared to what Prophet Sulaiman AS had. When Prophet Sulaiman was presented with the gifts from those messengers, he became very angry. He then said, "What! Do you offer me wealth? What Allah (swt) has given me is more superior to all the wealth on this earth....

Someone from the gathering asked, "How can anyone of us earn a thousand Hasanah?" Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) said: "Glorify Allah a hundred times by just saying ‘Subhanallah’ and a thousand good deeds will be written for you, or a thousand sins will be wiped away.” (Muslim 4:2073) 2.

...you are unaware that the science of telegraphy has been around for hundreds of years dating back to the 1800’s. The device we are all familiar with is the electric telegraph, which was developed and patented by Samuel Morse. The telegraph utilized wires to send electrical signals to a specific device. The signals, which were written in Morse code, would allow individuals from two separate locations to communicate with one another. The device became a hit and was slowly incorporated into many different countries such as the United States and England. This device was revolutionary since prior to its inception the only means to receive news was to send letters view messengers. This method was outdated since it would take time for a messenger to ride to and from specific locations. During that time things may have changed and a new letter may be needed. An example of this can be seen in Samuel Morse’s life. Prior to developing the telegraph Samuel was a painter. During his painting career he received a message about his wife and her failing health. Samuel rushed to his wife’s side only to find out she died while on his trip to see her and was promptly buried. This tragedy led Samuel to question whether or not there was a way to convey messages...
