Good morning/afternoon Throughout my comparative study of texts and context‚ I have explored various connections shared between William Shakespeare’s ‘Richard the 3rd’ and Al Pacino’s ‘Looking for Richard’.

Hirshfield envisions a hierarchy‚ with the subjective voice being more immature and

the poems "Looking For Dad"‚ "My Grandmother" and "The Sick Equation"‚ the narrators explore the darker sides of childhood.
