    Much Ado About Nothing Beatrice And Benedick Analysis

    William Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing is a play involving by deception, disloyalty, trickery, eavesdropping, and hearsay. The main examples of deception we see are from the characters of Beatrice and Benedick.. We as the audience are exposed to their ‘merry war; ad they exchange witty and sarcastic banter, providing the humor throughout Shakespeare’s comedy and very interesting comparisons to be commented onIn act 1, we are introduced to Beatrice who Beatrice tends to take charge of every conversation, not reluctant to state her own views on a subject regardless of whom she addresses. Her wit and sarcasm are wasted on the messenger, who doesn't know what to make of her. Her uncle, Leonato, acknowledges her ongoing "merry war" with Benedick. Finally, she engages Benedick himself, who can give back as good as he gets.Benedick too is mentioned before he appears, but only by Beatrice, who is clearly bitter toward him, apparently as the result of previous experience with him. In his battle of words with Beatrice, Benedick puts up a noble fight, finally putting her on the defensive, but while Benedick has the last word this time, Beatrice ends the conversation…

    Essay On Scat By Carl Hiaasen

    That stories teach us about life is a main idea in the book Wired for Story: The Writer’s Guide to Using Brain Science to Hook the Readers From the Very First Sentence by Lisa Cron. This main idea connects to a major theme in the book Scat by Carl Hiaasen, which is lying for a good cause. Many characters in the book Scat lie for the greater good. All of them lie for different reasons, though at first it is not clear why. As the plot progresses, the reader finds out that they are all breaking the law for the same cause: reuniting a panther cub named Squirt with his mother. His mother was scared away by a gunshot from one of the antagonists, Jimmy Lee Bayliss. One of those characters who doesn’t always tell the truth is Mrs. Starch, who lies early on in the book, saying she has a family emergency, when she is actually taking care of Squirt. The plot begins with a fire in the Black Vine Swamp on the day all of Truman's High School science classes have a field trip. A girl named Libby drops her asthma inhaler during a wildfire in the swamp so Mrs. Starch goes back to get it. After she locates the inhaler, Twilly, the man who found Squirt, brings Mrs.…

    The Ant and the Grasshopper

    The Ant and the Grasshopper

    In Somerset Maugham short story "The ant and the Grasshopper" we are introduced to the two main characters as referring to them as George and Tom. The characters are introduced after a short introduction about the story of the ant and the grasshopper. In this fable we learn that the ant in the story is much like the character of George. The ant begins working away throughout the summer collecting his food and building his shelter in order to prepare for the upcoming winter. The Grasshopper on the other hand enjoys his summer months by "sitting on a blade of grass singing to the sun" (Maugham 288). The characteristics of the grasshopper are also seen through the character of Tom. George is considered "hardworking, decent, respectable, and straightforward" (Maugham 291), whereas Tom is portrayed as an idle, worthless, dissolute, and dishonorable rogue" (Maugham 291). We can not help but feel drawn to sympathize with George's character because throughout the story George is seen to be the individual that has worked for everything he has. We see evidence of this when the narrator states, "Poor George, only a year older then his scapegrace brother, looked sixty. He had never taken more then a fortnight's holiday in the year for a quarter of a century. He was in his office every morning at nine thirty and never left it till six. He was honest, industrious, and worthy. He made a point of saving a third of his income and his plan was to retire at fifty-five to a little house in the country… (Maugham 290). Maugham uses this character to portray the preferred life that we as humans try to live each day. By going to work and supporting a family we are much like the ant in the story living each day in order to prepare ourselves for the future. Within the story Maugham created Toms character to portray the characteristics of the grasshopper. "He stopped working and wanted to enjoy himself. He had little money and he spent two happy years in the various capitals…
