Saving Private Ryan
Number of words: 701 - Number of pages: 3.... I would have made it off the beach in the first scene.
The movie also tells about many different types of attitudes that the American boys had about the war and how they reacted to it. An example of this would be when the company took over a machine gun and one of their friends died from enemy fire. Several American soldiers were going to execute the Nazi until another soldier stopped them. Personally, I would have killed the Nazi soldier because he was involved in killing my friend. Even if the man killed were a complete stranger, but still an American, I wo .....

Falstaff's Role In Henry IV, Part One
Number of words: 921 - Number of pages: 4.... his reading of the play:
1. That Falstaff is the kind of character who invites a moral judgment
mainly that he can answer to the charge of being a coward.
2. That you (the reader) can detach Falstaff's frivolity from the play
and it can exist for its own sake apart from the major theme of the drama.
3. That the play is really about the fate of the kingdom, and that you
(the reader) do not connect Falstaff's scenes with the main action. This
means that the play has no real unity.
Starting with Johnson's first assumption, I do agree with this. .....

The Divine Comedy: Dante
Number of words: 597 - Number of pages: 3.... help him return back. This is purely love
and compassion at its best. Sending someone into hell to rescue another person
out of there. Great lengths were taken to help Dante return back to the
straight way. I do not believe such action was taken if Dante was to end up in
hell all along.
For some reason midway in Dante's life's journey he had gone astray and

start the search as any place. Something for sure had led him astray and Dante
was going to find out what it was. Strange a .....

The explanations are valid, and the only peculiar fact is that
Hamlet has got so many reasons for waiting - a different one each time.
Furthermore, it is characteristic in Hamlet that he only receives problems
when he at last seizes the sword. He is convinced that he has nailed his
villain .....

Hamlet's Character
Number of words: 429 - Number of pages: 2.... really want to
kill Claudius, but feels obligated to do so. Through his over-analysis he
seems to be almost talking himself out of doing his job.
One of Hamlet's most renown traits is his over-analysis of
conversational topics and situations in which action must be taken. An
example of his over-analytical nature is apparent in his speech in act one,

simple answer to Horatio's inquiry but then his thoughts begin to wander
and he starts to analyze and philosophize about topics unrelat .....
