... to bring Prince Hal=s mask to attention by using anaphora:
Could such inordinate and low desires,
Such poor, such bare, such lewd, such
mean attempt, such barren pleasures,
rude society as there art matched withal . . . (3.2.12-15).
The word such is used to emphasise his [Henry] displeasure of Hal=s friends and
the image they portray around him causing Hal in the eyes of Henry to lose his
princely image.
Shakespeare, then allows Prince Hal to defend himself to his father's

problems they encounter, but Willy Lowman takes it one step further. His
refusal to accept reality is so strong that in his mind he is transported
back in time to relive one of the happier days of his life. It was a time
when no one argued, Willy and Linda were younger, the financial situation
was less of a burden, and Biff and Happy enthusiastically welcomed their
father back home from a long road trip. Willy's need for the "drug" is

... She goes even farther to say:
"...that I profess
Myself an enemy to all other joys
Which the most precious square of sense possesses,
And find I am alone felicitate
In your dear highness' love."
I.i.71-75
This goes to show that she is more greedy than her sister and her words are also
falser. She wants more than her sister and will do anything to attain her goal.
Her ambition to get what she wants is evident in the words that she speaks. She
claims herself to be "an enemy to all other joys" but she is reall ...

... day, and that is
why so many people were drawn to him out of sheer amazement. But, they
weren't afraid to get to know him, and they all chose to let him into their
lives in hopes that he would do the same. The problem is that he never
knew how to do this. In turn, he couldn't fully enjoy life because he had
no one to share it with.
Like many others, Will needs someone to believe in him and
appreciate who he is, and what he stands for. He needs someone to teach
him and show him how to love and how to trust. Shawn was the open door for
him to walk through, and he provided Will with a suppor ...

Number of Words: 1014 / Number of Pages: 4
... host to some folks in the regular sectors of the world to display their talent, like sucking milk up their nose with a straw or the dog who can play basketball. The wide variety of guests and skits they use, try and hit their opponent with an “ I had them first uppercut”, still has no effect on the format of either show.
Tonight’s guests include blah, blah, blah, and musical guest blah, blah, blah, along with blah, blah, blah,blah. I must make my decision. Who am I going to watch, Jay or Dave? Well Jay is having the beautiful Demi Moore, but I’d rather watch Pearl Jam tear up the stage on Dave ...

Shakespeare's Henry V: Two Views Of War
Number of Words: 983 / Number of Pages: 4
