    It is often said that every man is born equal. I disagree‚ however‚ some are born into more luxurious lives‚ some are born disabled with no way to recover‚ and some are born with a special “ticket” through life called talent. In fact‚ the only time that we are truly equal is in death. No one gets to buy‚ run‚ swim‚ jump‚ or debate their way out of death.

    "On Tuesday last‚ / A falcon‚ towering in her pride of place‚ / Was by a mousing owl hawk’d at and kill’d" (2.4.11-13). The falcon’s "pride of place" is the highest point of its flight.
