A Letter To Shakespeare
Number of Words: 611 / Number of Pages: 3
... instead
of Juliet saying "Parting is such sweet sorrow," although that is very dramatic,
she could just say something like, "I wish you didn't have to go so soon."
Another part that I noticed was in the scene where Mercutio was
insulting Tybalt, right before they fought in the streets of Verona. Mercutio
had called Tybalt "prince of cats" since Tybalt was an ordinary name for house
cats at that time. I think that it would be all right to keep this part,
however you might want to think about changing Tybalt's name to something that
is more common for cats today like Felix or even better, Whiskers, ...

That can denote me truly: these indeed seem,
For they are actions that a man might play:
But I have that within which passeth show;
These but the trappings and the suits of woe.”(1.2)
Here Hamlet shows his unstable mind. He is screaming at his mother telling
her how his actions are honest and he is not pretending to grieve, but that
he is truly ...

Julius Caesar
Number of Words: 1831 / Number of Pages: 7

However, in a much less metaphysical sense, Oedipus' life was complete, in that he had all that he needed, and was living a happy and fruitful life. As the ...

... visual set of paintings consisting of one or more colored
geometric shapes on a white field. He visualized a state of feeling, and a
sense of bliss and wonder. Mondrian took a different approach with tighter
geometric orientation and stricter compositional order. He was also

vertical and horizontal lines.
It would be hard to advance any definition of abstract expressionism
without taking into account the vast and varied cultural and historical
