In the New York Times‚ “Feminism‚ Hell and Hilary Clinton”‚ by Frank Bruni discusses how ridiculous the mentality is that if you are a woman you need to vote for Hilary Clinton.

Palmer wrote a very thought-provoking and compelling essay about a “student from hell.” In which I experienced a teacher’s perspective of the students he has encountered in his career. Throughout the essay I understood the audience to be intended for both‚ teachers and students. But I considered the fact that when he was writing this essay he meant it for academic institutions‚ teachers‚ and faculty in the education system. One of the many major claims Palmer appointed to was “The silence that we

I am neither agreeing nor disagreeing with his piece. Although he did make some valid points‚ I still felt opposed to almost everything he was saying especially when he said that we have no common grounds with the people being helped aboard. How can anyone say that taking money and time to go to these impoverished places

Hell Hath No Fury like Medea Scorned In Euripides’s Medea‚ revenge can lead to destructive actions. This theme is a central part to the tragedy‚ mostly because it pops up time and time again. Euripides‚ through the use of motif‚ makes Medea’s desire for revenge seem conceivable. Not only has Jason left her by marrying Creon’s daughter‚ but Creon has exiled her from Corinth because she “nourish[es] rancorous ill will toward [Jason and Creusa] whom [he] intends to protect” (Euripides 92).
