Number of words: 2640 - Number of pages: 10.... action, so
that they thus may "get into it" more and begin to experience some of the
passion & feeling that I put into my work as it is thus conveyed to and
impressed upon them.
As a title theme for my year's work I have come up with "Multifaceted
Interactive Involvement With The Electro- Magnetic Spectrum." This
includes many different forms of radiation, light and waves. I am also
integrating sound to give an added flair. Some practical project examples
that I intend to carry through and actually construct can be found in ideas
11 and 12. As my topic .....

Romeo And Juliet: They Did It To Themselves
Number of words: 736 - Number of pages: 3.... on her balcony talking of how
she loves Romeo and together they speak of their impending marriage. What? It
seems that they are obsessed, not in love. How could they love each other when
in fact they have just met hours earlier? They are children who have crushes and
plenty of melodrama to enhance it.
Romeo demonstrates his immaturity again when he slays the Capulet, Tybalt.
Being an idealist, he does not think about the consequences of his actions. He
knows that Tybalt is Juliet's cousin, and that injuring him would wreck any
chance of them getting togethe .....

Fate In King Lear
Number of words: 2068 - Number of pages: 8.... the movements of celestial bodies are used to
account for human action and misfortune. Just as the stars in their
courses are fixed in the skies, so do the characters view their lives as
caught in a pattern they have no power to change. Lear sets the play in
motion in banishing Cordelia when he swears "by all the operation of the
orbs from whom we exist and cease to be" that his decision "shall not be
revoked". How like the scene in Julius Caesar wherein Caesar says "For I
am constant as the Northern star" Lear vows to be resolute but dies
regretting hi .....

Representation And The Media
Number of words: 319 - Number of pages: 2.... with what was said about classifying certain things and those things leading to stereotyping. If I see a man on television that wears funny clothes, wears thick glasses, and is very unpopular, I classify this person as a "nerd". This is not a good thing to have a habit of.
You can not agree, disagree, talk about, or respond to a situation, unless you were there. You absolutely have no idea of what went on or how much of the story is true. The media lets you know what they want you to know. Also, there can never be ONE interpretation or essential meaning to s .....

Citizen Kane: Charles Foster Kane - Who Was He?
Number of words: 633 - Number of pages: 3.... ward of the bank that administers
her estate, and Thatcher, whom the angry young Kane bashes with a sled, takes
the boy East to be raised. The movie then shows Kane growing up, making life
miserable for Thatcher. The mature Kane decides to take direct control of a
small, struggling newspaper, and immediately begins using it to attack Thatcher
and others among America's financial elite. This displays the mystery with Kane
as he wants to expand on something small into something big, but we don't know
what.
The next account was given by Bernstein, Kane's devoted .....

King Lear: Illusion
Number of words: 2304 - Number of pages: 9.... high position in society meant he should be able to distinguish the good from the bad; his lack of sight prevented him to do so. Lear's first act of blindness comes at the beginning of the play. First he was easily deceived by Goneril and Regan's flattery brought on by him saying
Which of you shall we say doth love us most,
That we our largest bounty may extend
(King Lear I.I.51-52)
This vast reward he offers in return for the confession of love is bound to induce an exaggerated version of feelings to maximise the reward, as Goneril says
Sir, I do love y .....

The Phantom Menace: I Swear I’ve Seen This Movie Before
Number of words: 1178 - Number of pages: 5.... of the series. These similarities are discernable in plot, setting, and screenshots.
The movies in discussion deal with restless youngsters wanting to leave their home planet to see the galaxy. The young men urge to experience everything life and existence have to offer. They firmly believe that what they want to encounter, lies far away from their home. Our protagonist in The Phantom Menace, Anakin, yearns to eventually be a pilot who leads a squadron of fighters. He satisfies that longing at home by racing pods. Although he possesses great skill at t .....

All My Sons: Miller's Chief Criticism Of American Society
Number of words: 637 - Number of pages: 3.... "All My Sons," Miller makes it apparent that society in
general values money and profit more than human life. He shows this by his
portrayal of Keller. Keller ships out cracked cylinder heads, aware that in
flight they will cause planes to crash, to save his business from being
shut down. Furthermore, he goes on to allow the blame to fall on Steve, in
order to save himself from going to jail, even though Steve was not the
only one guilty. Keller tries to rationalize his actions by saying that he
committed this heinous act for the benefit of his family- so that th .....
