“AAHHHH!” Aelius screamed as he charged at the opposing army. His heavy bronze chest plate banged against his stomach, knocking the wind out Aelius. The too-large helmet crashed the side of his head, leaving a bruise under his thick dark-brown hair. Aelius’s knees gave out, he buckled at the weight of his heavy armour and gear. Everything went black.…

Response: “It is true Abel, He chooses us to be His instrument to proclaim His Word to the world. In Mark 11:1-11, Jesus used a little donkey to ride when entering the city of Jerusalem, people did not look at the donkey, they looked to the One who was riding a donkey and cried out in praises (NKJV). We have to thank Him for choosing us though we had so many things that He does like in us. Alan Carr (2003) said that donkey needed someone to take charge of it, who is our Lord. A wild donkey submitted itself to the Lord and it was not frightened by the crowds but surrendered itself to the Lord totally.”…
I feel that this quote is very important and essentially what the whole books is about. I interpreted that quote as saying that it is a sin or wrongdoing to kill the innocent. However, I only understood what Atticus was saying after Scouts conversation with Mrs. Maudie later in the chapter. Furthermore, to me this quote seems like it is foreshadowing an important even that is later going to happen in the book. Lastly, this quote also tells you a bit about Atticus’s personality and morals. It shows that Atticus does not believe in ever killing that innocent which ties into the current court case he is fighting. (108 words)…
“He heard people singing. Behind him, across vast distances of space and time, from the place he had left, he thought he heard music too. But perhaps it was only an echo.” Jonas woke up in a cozy bed in a clinic, wrapped in three blankets, and his head accommodated in soft feather pillows.…

“But afterward the townspeople, theretofore sufficiently unfearful of each other to seldom trouble to lock their doors, found fantasy re-creating them over and over again—those somber explosions that stimulated fires of mistrust in the glare of which many old neighbors viewed each other strangely, and as strangers.”…
Mark Twain said, “Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great.” Twain had the belief that people need to surround themselves with others who will encourage them to be their best. Those who belittle others who are in pursuit of something ambitious are not the kind of people who are pursuing their own passions and desires. Those are people that may never have received words of encouragement to set their feet down and run. Also, those who belittle others ambitions have not had someone to walk alongside them in life and speak greatness to them. They have not been around the great ones themselves. The small are missing something that they cannot see. The influence of people around us can encourage us to greatness or easily help us to believe we are inept at achieving something bigger than what we know.…
William Shakespeare’s play, Hamlet, is thought by many readers to have the major theme of revenge. Although revenge is a significant part of the play, it is not the main theme. Throughout the play there are many ways Shakespeare uses dramatic irony and for each one there is always a cause and effect. He uses this Cause and effect to target the audience and to keep them engaged in the play. An example of cause and effect would be in Act IV, Scene IV (IV, iv, 35-70). In this scene it shows Hamlet and his liking of Fortinbras and how angry he is at himself. The cause is from the audience while the speech and other things are the effect. The cause and effect from this scene and the soliloquy is one of the ways Shakespeare connected with his audience, which was in his time the Elizabethan era.…

In the Renaissance-era romantic comedy, "Twelfth Night", William Shakespeare presents to us an entertaining play riddled with humorous plots and, in some instances, comical and witty exchanges between the characters in the play. In a novel peppered with subtle notions of deceit and illusion, it is fascinating how some of the most revealing truths about the characters actually lie beneath the innocent banters. Under the influence of illusion and deception, the figures in the play are often lost in their own reverie, failing to realise the bare naked truths behind the events that have played out. An insightful judge of characters, Feste is both impudent and witty at the same time, neither mincing his words nor masking his emotions. It is perhaps due to his pragmatic nature that he is able to be so perceptive and astute in his judgment of the characters. His remark of Orsino's mind as one which is very opal only serves to prove the above-mentioned claim. Over the following paragraphs, I will endeavor to uncover the truth behind Feste's statement.…

The films Samson and Delilah and Nana are both produced and directed by an Australian film maker named Warwick Thornton. He is renowned for the techniques he uses that reflect the director’s personal creative vision during the films. This approach in film making is known as the autuer theory. Warwick Thornton directed Nana which is a short film in 2007 that includes the same character named Nana viewers see in his latter movie. He then continues on in 2009 where he directed Samson and Delilah, a full length feature film that debuted in the Cannes Film Festival. In both his films he displays the hardships faced by native Aboriginal Australians, especially the children, who suffer in and out of their communities and are marginalized in society. They are also shown to rarely receive help from the government or community members. There are many similarities between the films that show a connection and bring upon Thornton’s techniques in film making, such as the camera work, music/soundtrack and lighting. These similarities highlight Thornton’s producing and directing style that bring his own creative “voice” throughout both of the films.…
