Shakespeare was a really superstitious writer and he would use the stars as the main theme of one of his most famous books, The Most Excellent and Lamentable Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet. In the book, Shakespeare describes Romeo and Juliet as being "star-crossed lovers." Shakespeare makes over 100 references to the stars, the sun, and the moon throughout the entire story. As said before, the stars had a great influence on their fates and the stars are the "unseen forces" (Moss and Wilson 1) are what controlled the characters. Romeo and Juliet were able to predict their own deaths in certain occasions because these forces were acting upon them. Romeo and Juliet even received their own horoscopes. Every aspect of astrology in the story is important because it builds up the story and it supports the…
Leo and Stargirl “Loved” each other. I know that Leo and Stargirl loved each other because in chapter 24 the author writes [Painted on the sheet in broad red brush strokes was a valentine heart enclosing the words: Stargirl Loves Leo. My first impulse was to drag the teacher to the window and say, “Look, she loves me.”] (129). This quote means that she was showing her affection to Leo and Leo responded…

Since I have yet to reach a part where everyone’s birth date is given, part of the comprehension will be in finding whatever characteristics best match the characters. The interesting part about my vision here, is that each zodiac sign has not only a certain set of traits, but usually their compatibility is also given. With a growing romantic interest, and even animus between certain characters, the zodiac sign should give some insight on the role of the character as well as how they…

For example, many Taurus are known to be stubborn and loyal, while most Sagittarius are prone to being proud and impatient. Though this does not apply to every single person under their given sign, it does show more often than not, which is the reason that a good majority of people believe in the zodiac. Every single sign also has a specific element that it is compatible with. Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius are fire, Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn are earth, Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces are water, and Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius are air. They can also be categorized by their “gender,” which is a reference to the Yin and Yang of Chinese origin. Signs that are feminine are: Taurus, Cancer, Virgo, Scorpio, Capricorn, and Pisces. While other signs that are masculine are: Aries, Gemini, Leo, Sagittarius, Libra, and…

Relational dialectics are an important part of maintaining a healthy and long lasting relationship. Many relationships seen on television and read in literature utilize these dialectics. Seeing these examples in fictional relationships helps the viewer understand the different dialectics and could even assist these viewers in their everyday relationships. There are some great fictional relationships that use the relational dialectics very well and cooperate perfectly, and then there are others that don’t do so well. Comparing and contrasting two different fictional relationships and analyzing how they did or did not use the relational dialectics can be very helpful, and is the overall goal of this essay. The two relationships that will be…
Committed relationships can be mysterious things, acting almost as a third entity that grows and lives around two people. As an outside observer, it can be difficult to understand what makes a relationship thrive or struggle. Due to this mysteriousness, having the opportunity to analyze the relationship of an admired couple can bring a great deal of insight. Recently, I interviewed a couple that I respect and love dearly, my older brother, John Willis, and his wife, Shau Shau Lin Willis. Whenever I question what type of relationship I want or whether a potential partner may be the right person for me, John and Shau Shau’s relationship is an important standard of comparison. This standard of comparison exists because their relationship has…
There are several themes present in John Steinbeck's Of Mice and Men, among them powerlessness and the impossibility of the American dream. Although these two themes definitely make up a fair portion of the story, they are not the subject of this paper. Nay, for standing prominently alongside these themes is loneliness, which is indisputably one of the most major concepts explored in the duration of the story. The theme of loneliness is thoroughly fleshed out through both characters – specifically Lennie and Curley's wife – and the involvement of migrant workers in general.…
