    One of the primary reasons for the continued attraction of this play is our fascination with its main character, Katherina, daughter of the wealthy Baptista Minola, and sister of much adored Bianca. She is seen at the start of the play to have shrew-like characteristics, but as the play progresses, she is turned “from a wild Kate to a Kate conformable as other household Kates” (2.1.270-271). Not only is Katherina relatable, she also provides responders with insights into their context and themselves.…

    In the 1962 stage adaptation of the play by Anton Chekov it is much easier to identify underlying content than searching for it in the book. Rather than reading the encounter in Act II between Yelena and Sonia, viewing the portrayal of the characters by the actors onscreen allows for subtext to actually be seen. In this particular scene of Act II we see the inner turmoil of both characters, especially Yelena and Sonia.…

    The second amendment states as follows: “A well-regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed” (Becker 9). The founding fathers of the United States agreed that the civilians of this country should have the right to bear arms. They believed that the government should be afraid of the people, not the people afraid of the government. Today there are many political leaders and even our President that support restricting access of guns to American civilians (Epstein 16). Anti-Gun activists stand on the graves of those who died in the Sandy Hook Incident and the Colorado Movie shooting to gain support to restrict our second amendment. Though, the massacres were a terrible tragedy and measures should be implemented to stop them from happening again. They should not restrict law abiding citizens’ rights to bear arms. Everyone agrees that violence should be put to a minimum, but taking away rights of law abiding citizens is not the answer. Instead, lawmakers and the public need to take a step back and look at the gun control issue from all different perspectives.…

    Gun control is a term that describes the use of law to limit people's access to handguns, shotguns, rifles, and other firearms, through passing statutes that require, for example, gun purchasers to undergo background checks for criminal records, for guns to be registered, or a number of other methods. In the United States, gun control is a hotly contested political issue that can make or break the careers of politicians. The use of firearms is also a health issue, because more than 35,000 people die each year after being shot.…

    “A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed” (O 'Connor & Sabato, 2008). That is the second amendment found in our U.S Constitution. According to the second ammendment the people have the right to keep and bear arms. Is this a right that everyone is given, and if so can this right be taken away? The question of gun control is one that has been highly debated since the founding of this country. Each year brings along new lawsuits challenging the validity of laws that restrict the rights of individuals to own guns. Each year also brings along another tragedy that involves the use of guns. Thoughts of the shootings at Columbine High School and at Virginia Tech come to mind very quickly when the discussion of guns and gun control is started. There are two passionate sides to this argument. The extreme side for gun control will have you believe that guns are evil, and that the second ammendment is outdated and does not apply to individual gun ownership. The extreme side of pro guns will have you believe that it is every persons right, guranteed by the second ammendment, to own a gun. In this paper we will discuss the extreme sides, but we will really take a more in depth look at the groups in the middle. These groups are just as passionate yet a lot more reasonable. It is important that we look at all sides of this argument reasonably and logically. If we are able to do so we will see that we do need stronger gun control in our country. The gun control system we have in our country is inadequeate and not strong enough for the number of people and the number of guns in the country. By stronger I mean we need to enforce the laws already in place, and punish violent criminals more severly then we do so now. A complete revamping of gun control in America is not required, just better execution of the laws already in place, and stricter punishment…

    Imagine a world where there were no laws controlling who could and couldn’t buy guns. Imagine that a felon who had committed armed robbery could walk into any store and buy a gun along with the ammunition that is needed for that gun. It would be a scary would if anybody and everybody were able to buy a gun. If there were no laws for gun owners this situation could happen these laws are put into place to protect not only citizens but to protect the gun owners.

    Guns are a part of America’s way of life. Today many citizens are under the impression that firearms are the root of all that is evil.
