I noticed from all the capable people I know that their skills were acquired through hard work, their passion for what they do, and years of experience in their trade or profession. I can 't think of anyone who is born with skills. If you come across people who achieved certain results due to natural ability than hard work, there 's a good chance that hard work has been invested. For example, when I was in school, there were students who seem to breeze through tests and get great results. What a
“I don’t care,” she balked as Benny and Elliot as followed her running down the hallway to her front door. “I just want to go home, turn on my laptop to confirm the date. I don’t believe it!” “Sophie Girl!” Elliot’s body cut her off. “I told you. This is the hardest part. Who gives a hoot about taste, gray parts; it’s time that matters. They gave us something at the hospital. It erases time. We’re experiments on time.” “Shut up Elliot.” Benny yelled. As he slowly turned so did his tone. A tender
RITUAL!" over a bunch of guitar squealing. There's a song called "Blasphemic Black Death Noise” and the record is titled Lustful Vengeance. As you might have guessed, Serum Dreg is crusty, blackened, deadly, and deeply, unabashedly goofy. Though the Portland duo is certainly not tongue-in-cheek, there's no doubt that their debut record is ridiculously fun. Lustful Vengeance is a no-frills throwback to black metal's heyday and a record that boasts more than enough merit to stand out in an increasingly
Is There More Value in Forgiveness or Vengeance? There are two types of people in every given situation, the one who forgives and the one who seeks retribution for whatever deed is done. Everyone’s fate is sealed when they they decide which person they want to be and more often than not they choose the person who fits them in the heat of the moment, the person of vengeance. In the novel The Kite Runner, written by Khaled Hosseini, the reader is immersed into the world of Kabul with Amir, who is
refused to be swayed away from believe in the girls though. "I heard the other girls screaming, and you, Your Honor, you seemed to believe them, and I--It were only sport in the beginning, sir, but then the world cried spirits, spirits, and I --I promise you, Mr. Danforth I only thought I saw them but I did not" (67). This is Mary warren explaining hysteria to the court in her own way. Everyone was crying out and screaming they felt spirits, so she felt it too. Her mind realized that they weren't there
In one of America’s darkest times, a period of pain and death. A town was torn apart by a quest for vengeance. The whole town getting caught up in the hysteria kept it going. This unholy event ended with the deaths of 20 villagers accused of witchcraft. All of this chaos was started by one person, one young woman. I will now explain why Abigail Williams is to blame for the witch trials, and deaths of the accused witches in “The Crucible.” Abigail Williams is to blame for the witch trials because
The theme of betrayal is commonly explored through stories of Shakespeare’s ‘Hamlet’ and Disney’s ‘Lion King’. Disney’s ‘The Lion King’ shows us that betrayal isn’t just about murder and killing, but more about the feeling of vengeance. However, both texts have a powerful theme of betrayal, as brothers of the previous king killed their own brother to become king, going behind their own families back to be a selfish and ignorant king. Through the analysis of both texts, even though they both share

We are what we always wee in Salem, but now the little crazy children are jangling the keys of the kingdom, and common vengeance writes the law! This warrant’s vengeance! I’ll not give my wife to vengeance!” He highlights how he is so furious with Salem over what it has become. He states that it the children are now running the place – jangling

Cask of Amontillado is revenge. While the reasons the main character, Montresor, desires revenge are rather unclear, the reasons for his motivation are not. The way he executes his plans also exemplifies a clever use of deception to amplify his vengeance. Unfortunately, though, the aftermath of his actions proved far less gratifying than what he foresaw. These elements of revenge consume this story in the usual vague and mysterious manner which we so often see with Poe. Because this story is told
Wild, Wild Vengeance Francis Bacon once said, “Revenge is a kind of wild justice; which the more man's nature runs to, the more ought law to weed it out” (Bacon). There has always been a fine line between justice and revenge: is justice through an act of vengeance still considered fair? As Bacon would let, it would be best left to a jury to decide. In the late sixteenth century, theatrical dramas flourished, with many tragedies carrying an explicit theme of revenge. William Shakespeare, otherwise
Cody Stricker Ms. Windish English II 22 November 2016 The Story of Theseus and the Minotaur Locked in a labyrinth, fourteen people were killed by this hideous beast every year. An enraged king seeks vengeance of his son. The story of Theseus and the Minotaur is a story of creation, anger, courage, love, and determination. The Minotaur is a half bull, half man creature.

the horse Bold Dancer, stabbing his right shoulder and down the stallion went, screaming his life out, shrieking down in the dust as his breath winged away” (Iliad 16.553-557). Homer uses imagery, diction and symbolism to emphasize the careless mistake Sarpedon had done to an innocent bystander. The words “hurled”, “hit”, and “stabbing” causes the reader to picture as to how the spear hit the horse and the words “screaming” and “shrieking” lets the reader hear the extreme pain that the horse is in after
Avenged Sevenfold has always been famous. That is far from the truth, however. Instead, they started with fairly humble beginnings. Matthew Sanders (M. Shadows) and Zachary Baker (Zacky Vengeance) decided to start a band with a few of their other friends at school. They wanted to be a metalcore band, fusing screaming and metal together to create a very heavy sound. Later on, Brian Haner Jr. (Synyster Gates), Jimmy Sullivan (The Rev), and Jonathan Seward (Johnny Christ) joined the band to form the

A majority of women accused were not even witches and they were accused out of vengeance. Abigail and her friends did just that, they accused other women out of vengeance and to shift the attention away from
behind the plebeians' actions. Dickens focuses upon the strife the townspeople experience at the hands of the merciless nobility. By the novel's end, however, Dickens achieves an about-face. The working class wields its new source of power to reek vengeance upon the aristocracy. In an ironic twist, Dickens displays how power can corrupt those even were once threatened by it. To convince the reader of the oppression the townspeople face, Dickens employs motifs. By providing a reoccurring phrase, the
and instead chooses to pick at these past events, as though they were oozing, festering scabs that he refuses to let heal over. In the song, the line mentioning the titular ‘bad blood’ is followed by a few seconds of a high-pitched, banshee-like screaming, which is rather reminiscent of the (implied) dreadful wails emitted by Richard in the course of his eventual climactic demise, where his attempts at revenge prove to be a mortal exercise in folly. Following the surprisingly-in-tune howls of a sad
In the summer of 2000 a box office hit was released. “Gladiator” was a brilliant action film set in Ancient Rome, which appealed to over 15s from both genders. The film was hugely successful and raked in over $190,000,000 in the U.S box-office and $434,000,000 worldwide. However the film wouldn’t have been nearly as successful as it was without the help of an exciting and gripping trailer to appeal to the target audience. Trailers are very important in the film industry because it’s the one chance

affair between John and Abigail never happened. Hale then instantly jumps to Elizabeth’s defense, saying, “...Excellency, it is a natural lie to tell; I beg you, stop now before another is condemned! I may shut my conscience to it no more--private vengeance is working through this testimony!" At the end of Act 3, as Giles Corey and John Proctor are arrested and taken away to jail, through Abigail’s manifested machinations, Hale’s confidence is destroyed and, in anger, says, “I denounce these proceedings
