...Henrietta Lacks When she was in her young age living with her grandfather and her cousin. Every day she would get up and work for her grandfather and at the end of the day she would go play with her cousins. Then Henrietta and her cousin came to a liking with each other. I have been raised to know that having a liking for your family member is just wrong and you should not do it. So I feel that Henrietta should fall in love with someone who is not related to her. Henrietta had another boy cousin who was crazy. They had called him crazy Joe. He was so crazy about Henrietta, and had fallen in love with her. Every time they would all go play together, he would try so hard to impress Henrietta. But Crazy Joe was so mad about Henrietta marrying their cousin that he had attempted to kill himself. His uncle had found him, took him to the hospital and was able to save his life. I feel that crazy Joe needs to get over his self. Joe is insane for trying to kill himself for a girl and a girl who is his cousin. Right before Henrietta found out she had cancer, she felt that something was not right. She had told her cousins and they felt it in her stomach. They told her she needed to go to the doctor because something like that was not normal. She decided not to tell her husband or anyone else because she didn’t want them to worry and she had not gone to the doctor because it was not hurting her. Henrietta should have gone to the doctor the moment she felt the ball in her stomach. That needed...

...Ophelia! Shakespeare’s Ophelia was a benevolent and innocent young girl, who dutifully obeyed her father, Polonius. Ophelia did as she is told, even if in her heart she felt strongly against what she was being asked to do. It was obvious that she was behaving like well mannered, aristocratic, young ladies of the time were expected to behave. Obedience and compliance were desirable traits, and Ophelia assumed that and here love and devotion to Hamlet would secure a happily ever after. But, unfortunately, her exceptional obedience would be her downfall. Ophelia is found betraying her one true love, Hamlet, by merely obeying her father, Polonius, and king Claudius, who believe that Hamlet has gone mad. Polonius seemed to bear a grudge against Hamlet, which should have been a signal to Ophelia that something was amiss. But being the good daughter, she did as she was told when Polonius instructed Ophelia not to ever speak to Hamlet again. When Hamlet comes running into her room looking like he has just seen a ghost, which in fact he has, and she does not say a word to him. She just looks at him like he is crazy and watches him go out the door without saying a word. Hamlet feels betrayed by his love for her and lack of response to his distress. She obeyed her father and did not speak to him, even when he looked like he had gone through something very terrible. Ophelia agreed to Polonius’s schemes to spy on Hamlet, even when it went against her feelings for Hamlet. The second...

...forwards. A key part is skipped in the retelling of Miss Emily Grierson’s life, which is told at the end of the storyline, and it is perhaps the most interesting part of the story. The story starts off at Miss Emily Geirson’s funeral. Emily is the main character in the story, and Faulkner has her dead in the first sentence. It should be noted that neither Faulkner, nor Emily are the narrator for the story, and instead the narrator is the viewpoint of the general townspeople that knew, or thought they knew, Emily Grierson. Faulkner then has the narrator explain Emily’s house, which plays a mysterious role in the story. It was said for the women that attended her funeral, “mostly out of curiosity to see the inside of her house.” (Faulkner 91) The story then goes on to tell the origin of Miss Emily’s tax evasion, a settlement she got away with, until the newer generation of mayors and aldermen came in to power. It goes on to tell the time before her death where a deputation from the Board of Alderman visited Emily to settle the dispute of the taxes. When Emily answered the door, it gives an external glimpse of Emily’s life at the time. The story describes her as “A body long submerged in motionless water, and of that pallid hue.” (Faulkner 92) This paints a vivid picture of a depressed Emily. So again, the aftermath is shown before what would be the cause, and in this case, the reason for her depression. The story continues to move backwards in time, and it is at this point where...

...1310-11067 23 October 2014 2 for $20 It was about 8:00 on a Saturday night and Chili’s was packed to the max. As Nea, Corry, Garrett and I walked in, the great smells hit us instantly. We were all starving. The host sat us down at a long table that sits six people. We were next to this young couple that seemed as if they were having the time of their life. Chili’s always has a great environment whenever I go. I had never been without eating with my parents or just one other person. I knew it would be different, especially with this particular group of friends. Chili’s had the T.V’s turned to the Arkansas vs. Alabama football game. That made the environment even more exciting. Brenda, our waitress, was a tiny older lady with a frizzy bouncy ponytail. She was filled with energy and had the biggest smile on her face. She asked us what drinks we would like and I said water. Nea got lemonade and Corry and Garrett both got strawberry lemonade. As Brenda walked away to get our drinks, we all started looking at the menus that were on the table. Nea and I decided to do the “2 for $20” deal. When our waitress came back with our drinks, we told her we were ready to order. She got out her white notepad and pencil and waited for us to start. “We’re doing the “2 for $20,” and we want Texas cheese fries for the appeti…” “Okay! Let me go put that in,” Brenda cut me off before I could even finish the rest of our order. We all looked puzzled as she hurried away to the back. Corry got a...

...the Dr. Lyman Sanderson. That part was realistic because people actually do need help and its normal for a doctor sometimes to be wrong about an person side of the story. When Veta went to Lyman and tried explaining what was wrong with Elwood, and explaining how she felt about the situation made the scene realistic because how she was explaining with such detail and how Lyman was listening to a certain degree. Also, in the beginning when Veta is talking with her daughter, Myrtle, about how Elwood behaves and how they are embarrassed of him. Almost every family has someone they would be embarrassed to be around and maybe be just a little bit embarrassed of. That moment down-to-earth it seemed as if it was happening right in my own house. One technical element that helped make the play Harvey more interesting was when Veta came back from the institution and her hair and clothes was messed up. In the previous scene , it was said they had to strip her down and make her take certain baths. Duane said she even struggled and fought back because she did not want to be there. When she came home and we saw her after everything happened it seemed as if it actually happened! The way she was talking as if she was exhausted, and the way she told the story which matched the story of the Duane. The connection they had in the play was excellent. Being that Harvey is a farce, two unrealistic but fantastic scenes that happened to make the play better was When Elwood took down Veta’s mom (Ms...

...It seems that after a while of him acting crazy that maybe he went crazy because they way he would talk to people and just act. But I don't think that he actually did go crazy I think he was just mad at everyone because no one was on his side at all.

So she had a choice to be either be loyal to her brother and father or Hamlet. In the end she chose her brother and father. That made Hamlet upset that she wasn't going to be with him and he was giving her the cold shoulder and being a little rude. With that going on and him trying to find out what happen to his father was just to much and was putting him right on the edge so any little thing was going to set him off....

...whose marriage had long since broken up. Her sons have moved out, leaving her alone with Ollie her German shepherd. She becomes fixated on the case of a girl who had been murdered and buried. She decides to find the body and by two and a half year difficulties it’s shown how she reaches her goal. The point of view in this story tells us how generalized the main character is. Even though we are dealing with a third person narrator, the story is told like it was seen from the main character’s point of view: “Thank God, she thought. What would Brian say now?” (p. 4, l. 138). We see that the narrator speaks for the main character. The reason why the narrator does that is that the narrator wants us to know, that the main character could as well be the narrator as it could be us readers. We are never told what the name of the main character is, and this also indicates this generalized picture of the main character. The main character’s view on the case is connected with her personality, which develops through course. The main character is very naive when it comes to the case: “(...) discussing it with her co-workers- so much that her manager had to ask her stop.” (p. 1, l. 4-5). She can’t stop talking about this little girl, and she wants to know and investigate more. It shows us, how lonely she has become; her children and husband have left her alone with Ollie, her sole friend. Now she needs a goal in her life. She starts her own investigation and develops maternal...

...H. Nam Review Paper With Her Oil Lamp On, That Night Review With Her Oil Lamp On, That Night is a Korean novel written by Lim Chul-Woo during the times of War in Korea. This short story is written in such a way that readers can relate to the pain that the victims of the Korean War felt. Lim tells the story with such detail so that the readers feel like they are actually there observing. The story opens with a soldier in the company of rebels in the woods outside the town in which he grew up. The town was evacuated more than two months prior, but that night the soldier and his company saw a light.

...once said, “Insane people are always sure that they are fine. It is only the sane people who are willing to admit that they are crazy” (www.brainyquotes.com). William Shakespeare, the Prince of Denmark, writes an interesting play called Hamlet. People have taken sides on whether or not Hamlet, the main character, crazy or not. I believe that Hamlet acts on impulse about any of the consequences, which makes him insane. Murdering others, thinking about suicide and somehow seeing ghosts all bring up different conclusions about his sanity. Hamlet is in fact crazy throughout most of the play, lacking remorse in Polonius’s death, seeing his father’s ghost, while losing his own grip when Ophelia takes her own life. After Hamlet accidentally kills Polonius he feels absolutely no regret or remorse in one bit of his body. Polonius is planning to eavesdrop on the Queen’s and her son’s conversation hoping to figure out why Hamlet has been acting bizarre. Hamlet realizes someone is behind the arras, and the Queen thinks it’s Claudius and yells “how now! a rat?”(III.iv). Hamlet, by drawing his sword and powerfully stabbing it through the tapestry while hoping it is the King. Gertrude, the Queen, asks Hamlet what he has done. Hamlet replies by saying “Nay, I know not:/Is it the King?”(III.iv). Gertrude tells Hamlet Stone 2 that his insane act was “rash and bloody”. He tries switching the subject by bringing guilt onto the Queen by saying “it was almost as rash and...
