... have the same JPM as Sesame Street but it still attracts the audiences' attention. The show is slower and more understandable than Sesame Street. Barney focuses on one topic for every show. The one that I watched, entitled "Up We Go", was about flying. You learn about kites, birds, planes and more. You get more out of the show than if it was about many topics like Sesame Street. The one we saw had many topics like eating healthy, dental hygiene, the airport and more. The child can have an overload of ideas for one day and get all mixe ...

Ophelia: The Forgotten Character

... her outlook on life. Ophelia’s reactions to Hamlet’s attitude and change of mood towards her come from shock. She can not believe Hamlet is speaking to her “ . . . with so much rudeness, which seems to be useless and wanton cruelty” (Eastman 181). Ophelia of course, has no idea of the state Hamlet is in. She probably figures his state of mind is caused by her obeying her father’s orders.

Macbeth: Lady MacBeth

... to not go through with the deed would be horrible to yourself, and that you would be a coward in your own eyes.

Ansel Adams' Moon And Half Dome

... The sharp detail of Half Dome also makes it look real, which allows the viewer to believe the entire photograph completely. Another aspect of the photograph is how intimidating the sheer size of Half Dome is.
