you’re driving as you may get a powerful and satisfying sneeze but it will be your last one ever. In Ancient Greece‚ sneezes were believed to be prophetic signs from the gods. In 410 BC‚ for instance‚ the Athenian general Xenophon gave a dramatic oration exhorting his fellow soldiers to follow him to liberty or to death against the Persians.

Brutus is the most complex of the characters in this play. He is proud of his reputation for honor and nobleness‚ but he is not always practical‚ and is often naive. He is the only major character in the play intensely committed to fashioning his behavior to fit a strict moral and ethical code‚ but he takes actions that are unconsciously hypocritical. One of the significant themes that Shakespeare uses to enrich the complexity of Brutus involves his attempt to ritualize the assassination of Caesar

llI would say that one of the key elements of symbolism in Kaspar Hauser was the narrator’s room. He only has a bed‚ no window‚ and is locked out from the other side of the door. The only thing to keep him company in the room is a mouse and that troubled me. I wondered why he never had any visitors. Even those in prison get visitors periodically.

Britain. One difference between the two works is their format. Patrick Henry is considered to be the most compelling orator of the American Revolution. His "Speech to the Convention" was exactly that‚ a speech that was meant to be read aloud. His oration helped to motivate many colonists to seek their independence from Great Britain (Carroll 184). Thomas Jefferson was known as the "silent member" of the congress. He lacked great verbal skills‚ but because of His ability to write‚ he was selected to
