Summary - “Dry White Season” Adam Simon - CGW 4U1 Dry White Season was what I felt to be an exemplary interpretation of how native South Africans truly condemned the immoral Apartheid political system of the mid 1900’s.

Richard III: Using His Deformity as an Excuse to be Evil “Richard’s deformed body is a mirror for self confessed ugliness in his soul.” This quote‚ by Marjorie Garber in Shakespeare’s Ghost Writers‚ explains exactly how Richard’s view of his hunchback was applied to his thoughts. The Tragedy of Richard III was the longest and most ambitious play Shakespeare ever wrote (Ackroyd 196).
