Will Behan Critical lens for The Crucible Edmund Burke once stated “No passion so effectively robs the mind of all its powers of acting and reasoning as fear”.

Sarah Steltmann 9/7/14 Critical Lens Essay “A friend who dies‚ it’s something of you who dies.” Gustave Flaubert Gustave Flaubert was correct when he once said‚ “A friend who dies‚ it’s something of you who dies.” By this he meant that when a person loses someone close to them‚ they never fully recover‚ almost like there’s a hole in their heart that can never be refilled. Two books that prove this are My Book of Life by Angel‚ by Martine Leavitt‚ and Harry Potter and the Prisoner of

Based on the beginning of the story‚ many of the beliefs that readers will have will be centered on their status as upper class. In the opening scene‚ Laura notes how she felt just like a working girl. In examining this through a structuralist lens‚ it can be implied that all members of upper class status do not work because they are well off in life.

All My Sons 3/18/13 Critical Lens - Benjamin Aereli Benjamin Aereli once said that “Circumstances are beyond the control of the man‚ but his conduct is in his power.” I agree with this quote. This quote means that unexpected things happen‚ things that one does not have any control over. One does have control over how they handle a situation. Many examples of this idea can be found in literature. The play All My Sons by Arthur Miller illustrates this idea several times. Two characters
