Perhaps I would try to discover a way to double the million‚ preferably not using anything against the law. It seems that no matter how much money you have‚ it’s never enough. Lots of hands are reaching out‚ even now‚ but there’d be many more reaching out if I had a million dollars! Nevertheless‚ I’d admit that having a million dollars would be a lot of fun.

    “Getting along with folks” By: Steven Watson People go out their way to despise‚ judge‚ and put down other people because of their appearance. A person’s appearance is just about the only thing that makes us different. White‚ black‚ Asian‚ Latin‚ native/ aboriginal‚ etc.‚ it shouldn’t be that big of a deal to truly bother someone to do the terrible things that have been done. This is called racism. It has plagued our world and our minds since the beginning of time. Separated‚ not united. But

    Some Othello insights

    • 1222 Words
    • 3 Pages

    1. Who does Othello ultimately care about more – Desdemona or himself? Some critics have argued that Othello’s love of Desdemona is ultimately self-centered. Would you agree?

Othello’s relationship with Desdemona does seem to be centered on Othello. “She loves me” seems to be what he thinks about Desdemona‚ while “I love him” seems to be what Desdemona thinks about Othello. Othello seduced a great beauty through his own

    where i come from - elizabeth brewster Discuss the way brewster uses language to convey her ideas about the link between identity and place. The main subject of the poem is the contrast between the city and the countryside where the speaker came from.
