"In Cold Blood" Review

... main plot obviously is the murders and the run from the law. Other subplots that are shown are Smith's internal fight with his past in which his father deserted him, and at one point, had a gun pointed to his head.

Adults find the show redundant in the actions and words of the characters but children after hearing or seeing something done repeatedly will learn ...

Movie: Disaster At Hillsborough

... the people in the rear realized that the game was to start before they were going to get in. The stampede could possibly been averted if the kickoff were delayed but the man "in charge" refused to delay.

Hamlet: Playing The Roles

... times. The reason for this teetering is directly related to his inability to form a solid opinion about role playing. This difficulty is not present, however, at the start of the play. In the first act, Hamlet appears to be very straightforward in his actions and inner state. When questioned by Gertrude about his melancholy appearance, Hamlet says, "Seems, madam? Nay it is. I know not 'seems.'" (1.2.76). This is to say, "I am what I appear to be." Later in act I, Hamlet makes a clear statement about his state when he commits himself ...

Death Of A Salesman : A Social Criticism

... think something different about the protagonist, the plot, the theme, even the genre. As with all great literature, the opinions continue to grow and change with each generation so that the book will never be closed on Death of a Salesman. Because it would take a short tome to discuss all the classic arguments on Miller's excellent work, the focus of this theme will be on Salesman's value as a comment on society.
