There are two things I will not board a plane without: a new magazine purchased at the airport and a purse filled with snacks. The snacks are self-explanatory in a day and age where one can get stuck on a three or four-hour flight with little more than six peanuts being offered to you! I have this deep fear of being hungry and not being able to do anything about it. So snacks are a must for this girl. And a magazine?

terrible truth about everything. Oedipus is a tragic hero and displays hubris. He also shows much passion for the people he cared about‚ however in the end‚ he invokes pity because no matter how hard he tried he couldn’t change his fate. “You have your eyes but see not where you are in sin‚” Teiresias says this about Oedipus‚ perfectly describing his hubris.

OTHELLO In the play Othello‚ the character of Othello has certain traits‚ which make him seem naive and unsophisticated‚ compared to many other people. This is why Iago‚ is able to manipulate him so easily. Iago told Roderigo‚ "O‚sir‚ content you. I follow him to serve my turn upon him "(I‚ i lines 38-9).

Othello vs. Othello Throughout Hollywood history‚ many screen adaptations of famous books and novels have strayed away from its original. In almost every movie based on a literary work‚ there are always major differences. Whether it is in the story plot‚ character‚ or even its setting‚ spotting the differences is always easy to find. However‚ when it comes to Shakespeare the movies are rarely changed. In most movies‚ they are not only true to the plot‚ but even true to the dialogue. In perhaps

discussing what is thought to happen in the last judgement when we are all before God one last time. In the Last Judgement it is thought that when it comes about we will all “get what is coming for us” meaning that depending on if we tried to be the best people we could be when we were alive or the worst then we will be judged accordingly. Michelangelo seems to have painted this according to more of the Catholic belief system and what they think the Last Judgement will look like. He also seems to add some

Judgement and its connections to racism What do you think when you see a drunk homeless native? A person who can’t handle responsibility and drinks away every cent the native gets?
