    Many people would agree that college should be free because not everyone has the money to pay for one semester or a whole school year. In my opinion‚ college shouldn’t be free but at least cheaper than ruining a student’s life. “College graduates from the class of 2014 owe an average of nearly $29‚000 in student loan debt.” According to Tyler Kingkade from the Huffington Post in “Average Student Debt Rises For Class Of 2014.” This is one of the top reasons why students decide to skip college and

    Demetrius’s Dream One of Shakespeare’s major theme in A Midsummer Night’s Dream is the analogy that love is like being in a dream; mystical‚ unexplainable and changeable. This can be seen in Act 3 scene 2 lines 140 through 147‚ where Demetrious describes Helena’s beauty and perfection after being drugged with Cupid’s flower by Oberon‚ the Fairy King. Through the usage of unique language and context Shakespeare is able to penetrate the imagery of Demetrious’s love to enforce this theme throughout

    Marissa Coe EN 360 Shakespeare I Major Paper 1 03/25/14 In one of Shakespeare’s famous plays‚ A Midsummer Night’s Dream‚ the mischievous fairy Puck plays a role like no other. Although he has minor parts in this playwright‚ his personality and foolish traits make him admirable to readers. A perfect actor to cast the role of Puck I believe would be Joe Pesci‚ an American actor and comedian of the 20th century.
