happened on the same date as a source of humor. Thank you for those lovely words. I'd like to remind you that you're not so much losing a daughter, but regaining three closets (wardrobes). I will not forget the first time my wife took me home to meet her parents. To break the ice, I asked her dad which team he supported. "West Ham" (Cubs) he replied. Which was obvious as he lives in London (Chicago). So I said "I bet it's exciting when you win a match (tournament)." "I don't know," he replied
Caring Between Parents and Children Parents and their children create a certain aspect of love that is special to them. This caring part of love is so powerful that it continues after death. An adult needs to have children before that adult can feel this love. Shakespeare’s Sonnet 6 encourages people to have children so they can feel the caring aspect of love that can last after death. This poem encourages people to save their money for their children by stating, “That use is not forbidden usury
example. It is this because you are taking responsibility for your actions, which encourages kids and other people to do the same. Inspire people to be just like you. Teach and use teamwork so they can learn to do the same. Following the 10 commandments is a good example. Like number nine thou shalt not bear false witnesses which means do not tell lies about other people that is not leading by example. Honor thy father and thy mother meaning respect your parents because if you were to act out in public
Beauty is very important in today’s society. Many people fear that they will lose their good looks as they age. They begin to wear make-up or even go to the extremes of plastic surgery. However, in William Shakespeare’s poem, “Shall I Compare Thee to a Summer’s Day,” Shakespeare plays on the idea of beauty that surpasses age and even death. Through the simple language, tones, and theme in Howard Moss’s poem, “Shall I Compare Thee to a Summer’s Day,” the meaning of Shakespeare’s poem is made more

Little did I know that over the next coupe of years, I would gain knowledge of one of the most important lessons of life: value those dearest to you, for you never know how long they will be in your company. When 12 years old came around, nothing could’ve primed me for the amount of devastation that was to submerge my happy little world. Two months after my birthday, I received word that my renowned
make people what they are, or is life what a person makes of it? This question has been asked time and time again, and is still being argued over time and time again. Whether the author knew it or not, Shakespeare explored this question in his play As You Like It through the characters of the play. Characters who, like so many of his others, display typical human natures. Shakepeare seems to have captured a spirit in all of his characters that is so true to life that almost anyone can relate in some
As You Like It - Rosalind and Celia A search for feminist criticism on William Shakespeare's comedy, As You Like It, uncovers a range of different aspects of the play and its players, but none is as well represented as the nature and dynamics of the relationship between Rosalind and Celia. Among other topics are cross dressing or female transvestism and male self-fashioning, which extrapolates on the mode of dress being an identity. A feminist view on Shakespeare examines the poet's defense
Boy-Actresses and the Character of Rosalind in As You Like It When Shakespeare wrote his plays, women were not permitted to perform on stage, so boys played all of the female characters. Unlike many apprenticeships, a boy learning to become an actor had no set age at which to begin and no set length of how long to study, but they usually began around the age of ten and continued playing women or adolescent roles for about seven years. These boys were apprenticed to a specific actor within
The Pastoral Setting of As You Like It Central to the pastoral vision of As You Like It is the setting in the Forest of Ardenne, especially the contrast between it and the ducal court. In the former, there is a powerful political presence which creates dangers. Deception lurks behind many actions, brothers have secret agendas against their brothers, and people have to answer to the arbitrary demands of power. In the Forest of Ardenne, however, life is very different. For one thing, there
Shakespearean subtext has been of interest for centuries, to professional scholars and English students and Shakespeare fanatics alike. To most, the subtext is just as important as the writing itself, and this is understandable. Two plays in particular—As You Like It and Twelfth Night—rely significantly on subtext. The audience’s interpretation is based entirely on what is shown to them, including the subtext, and this is on both the playwright’s and the actors’ parts: how it is written, and how it is played

contrast As You Like It’s Rosalind and Twelfth Night’s Viola circumstances for disguising themselves as men, how they use their disguise, and the problems that were created in play because of their disguise. In As You Like It, a comedy written by Shakespeare, Shakespeare has two major characters Rosalind and Celia in disguise for the purpose of safety. Rosalind and Celia have been banished by Celia’s father, Duke Frederick. Rosalind and Celia decide to escape to the Forest of Arden (As You Like It I
The Dramatic and Linguistic Means by which Shakespeare Presents Various Aspects of Love in As You Like It The play "As you like it" was at the beginning of the 17th century and in this era, audiences were fascinated by language and Shakespeare capitalised on this by creating a play that focuses on the use of language and drama to portray different aspects of love through many of the characters. The hero-heroine relationship between Orlando and Rosalind is the antithesis of the petrachan love
irony. The language in the play and its figures of speech and slang makes the readers get a feel of Irish culture as it is rich and typical of the Irish. In the first couple of pages of the play we see the characters say such things as “God bless you,” and we may initially be fooled into thinking that Mayo villagers are very religious people and the comedy here is in the fact that as the play progresses we realize that it is just in fact a traditional way of greeting. We are further shown that
As You Like It is a comedic play written by William Shakespeare. Act 3; scene 3 is a long scene in which Rosalind’s character is revealed in many ways. Shakespeare uses indirect methods of characterization to reveal Rosalind’s personality. Shakespeare shows Rosalind is unaware, love-struck, and crafty by using the indirect methods of a character revealing themselves through their words, private thoughts, and actions. Rosalind is oblivious about the people’s feelings toward her. When Rosalind and

She could feel the pressure and outline of his fangs then thought of how hot it seemed. Then, she started to laugh at how perverted that seemed. Nathan pulled
The Shakespearian comedy, As You Like It, parodies many of the typical conventions in literature dealing with love. In poetry, a large variety of poetry and literature portray love as a deadly disease that can only bring suffering and torment to the lover, the lover only experiences short term bliss before submerging into lifelong misery, or the usual assumption that the male is dominated by the female. These ideas have built the foundation of the courtly traditions of love, which had a tremendous
Memories can be beautiful or they can be difficult. Edna St. Vincent Millay's "Recuerdo," meaning "a recollection," seems to be a little bit of both. This recollection is hazy and romantic, like Millay and her unnamed partner must have felt as they "looked into a fire" (Kennedy) on the ferry they rode all night. "Recollection" is defined by the Merriam-Webster Dictionary as the action or power of recalling to one's mind. In the lives of people, the moments we recall are usually the ones that make
for a new hat. While walking down the street the slender woman saw a homeless woman, and started to walk faster in order to avoid her, but that plan seem to have failed because the homeless woman was right on her tail. “ Why hello there ma’m. Would you spare some change for me to get some good eats?” said the homeless woman. The slender woman gave her a look so fowl, as if there was a dead rat before her. “I will do no such thing!” the woman squealed. “
