When they got home Mike couldnââ¬â¢t stop thinking about the fortune cookies. He kept wondering was this just a coincidence that he got this in a fortune cookie, even Jenny his wife got the same thing. Can this be true can his life ambition come true? No he thought it has to be a coincidence. That night he couldnââ¬â¢t sleep. He kept thinking if this was true what was going to bring him this fame and fortune? All heââ¬â¢s working on at this moment is a simple hacking program for him self because of free time. His wife wakes up. She asks him why isnââ¬â¢t he asleep. He tells her what heââ¬â¢s thinking about and she says, ââ¬Å"I donââ¬â¢t think your going to get fame and fortune just like thatâ⬠Ã'Ž ââ¬Å"What do you mean? â⬠he replied ââ¬Å"Well, that hacking program youââ¬â¢re working on for funâ⬠she says. ââ¬Å"Yes what about it? â⬠he replies anxiously. ââ¬Å"Is it power full? She asks. ââ¬Å"Yeah its pretty goodâ⬠he replies but doesnââ¬â¢t have a clue whatââ¬â¢s all this got to do with his fortune. ââ¬Å"Why donââ¬â¢t you access Bills files and find out what heââ¬â¢s planning? â⬠she says quietly. ââ¬Å"You want me to betray my best friend. No forget about itâ⬠he replied angrily and went to bed. The next day he gets up and goes on his computer to do a bit of work. He kept working on his hacking program until it was finished. ââ¬Å"Honeyâ⬠he called. ââ¬Å"Iââ¬â¢ve finished my program. â⬠Jenny walks in and congratulates him ââ¬Å"Well no you need to test it! â⬠she said. ââ¬Å"Test it? â⬠he replied. ââ¬Å"Who on? â⬠ââ¬Å"I canââ¬â¢t try it on anyone its illegalâ⬠ââ¬Å"Well test it on Bills I am sure he wont mind, you are his best friendâ⬠she tells him ââ¬Å"Just see if it works properly and the switch it offâ⬠ââ¬Å"Well okâ⬠he replies and starts to test it he started to input and few numbers and letters and the put search. Bills name came up on the screen. He accessed his computer. ââ¬Å"Look whatââ¬â¢s that? â⬠asked Jenny ââ¬Å"Oh it will be some of his filesâ⬠ââ¬Å"Iââ¬â¢ll close it now I know it worksâ⬠he saidÃ'Ž ââ¬Å"Noâ⬠Jenny said, ââ¬Å"just have a quick look, it wonââ¬â¢t hurtâ⬠He sat there looking at Bill Gates files. His ambition took control of him. He spotted a file named ââ¬Ëbig planââ¬â¢. He began looking through it. It was a massive program what was going to change the world. He froze. All his life he wanted fame and now he could get it but at his best friends cost. Jenny kept telling him to copy the file then alter it for him so he goes wrong. She called him a coward. He didnââ¬â¢t know what to do. His wife kept nagging him. He finally surrendered to his ambition and downloaded the file to his computer and started to alter Bills file completely. Jenny kept saying how wonderful he was and encouraged him to carry on. He was finished. He worked day and night on this program until one day he had finished it. Bill rang him up that day and said that his whole life just went wrong. The program contract with the Japs he made has fallen because his program didnââ¬â¢t work. Now he has to pay Billions of pounds in compensation and at the moment cant pay that amount so he had to sell half his company. At that moment guilt started to grow in Mikes heart. His best friends life has collapsed but his road is open. He felt very sorry for him and said he was busy. In the following week Mike made a contract with the British. He sold them Billââ¬â¢s program for a 30 billion contract he got 50% of the shares. His name was known all across the globe and his program sold very fast. But now he was feeling very guilty heââ¬â¢s now the famous rich and famous one while his friend was under debt. In those weeks Bill didnââ¬â¢t even find out about Mike he was to busy sorting out his problem. He went and says the program a computer competition. He was absolutely stunned when it had looked just like the one he made. He gets a bit suspicious and goes to Mikeââ¬â¢s home straight away. When he got there he didnââ¬â¢t even say hello to Mike the first thing he said was ââ¬Å"that program of yours when did you start making it? â⬠Mike hesitated a bit knowing Bills suspicion he replies ââ¬Å"oh Iââ¬â¢ve been on this special project for a long time, Its been a secretâ⬠Bill talked to him about it and went back home. Mike was feeling awful he probably just lost his best friend. His guilt grew more and more over the days past. He didnââ¬â¢t hear from Bill for a while now and was really scared. What he didnââ¬â¢t know was at this time Bill was trying to see if anyone had hacked is computer. He knew that it couldnââ¬â¢t be just anyone because his computer was protected with extra security. Bill spent hours trying to track down the thief. One day when Bill was on his computer he was going through a list of who opened the computer and when he say a weird number. He tried to find out what it meant but couldnââ¬â¢t. Meanwhile Mike was not leading a happy life. He was rich and famous. Didnââ¬â¢t even see his wife, she was always out and about. He couldnââ¬â¢t go out and show his face to the public they would just give him credit for the new program and that would make things worse. One week later something very unexpected happened when Mike was at home. The F. B. I came knocking at his door. ââ¬Å"Can I help you? â⬠he asked ââ¬Å"Would you please come with us? â⬠they replied. ââ¬Å"What seems to be the matter? â⬠Mike asked knowing he was caught. ââ¬Å"You are under arrest for hacking into someoneââ¬â¢s computer and steeling ideas and programs. â⬠They replied in a disappointed tone of voice. At that moment he knew his life was over his ambition just destroyed his life. He went quietly with them. As stepping out of their car and going towards the police station he says Bill. ââ¬Å"Iââ¬â¢m sorry,â⬠he said to him. ââ¬Å"From all the people I didnââ¬â¢t want to think it was youâ⬠he replied in a disappointed way. Mike walked off with the agents and into the station. He was sentenced to 15 years in prison. All of the money from the program went to Bill Gates and he got all the credit. He managed to by back all his company and start dominating the computer world once again. Mike was finished he would never write another computer program again. Billââ¬â¢s life returned to normal except for one thing he had no best friend beside him.

AP Themes and Symbols - 1419 Words
Updikes A P is rich in symbolism and begins in the very first paragraph. Sammy is eyeing the three bikini-clad girls who walk into his supermarket where he is a checker. His reverie is interrupted, however, by a witch whose feathers Sammy has to smooth. The older generation are typically symbolized in negative terms throughout the story, those women who cannot and will not understand youth. Queenie, on the other hand, is symbolic of all that is alluring about women and life that might be possible for Sammy on the outside, a life that seems palatable yet unattainable to Sammy. Stokesie, Sammys older co-worker, is symbolic of the life Sammy may well be headed for: married, tied down with children, and few options for anotherâ⬠¦show more contentâ⬠¦To Lengels credit, in spite of his stuffiness and self-importance, he shows Sammy patience. He does not yell or order him immediately out of the store, but warns him of the very real consequences of his act. Yet, it is Lengels adherence to the social codeââ¬âwhich says that this behavior must go into Sammys personnel file and dog him for the rest of his lifeââ¬âthat cause those consequences. It is, in a small way, like Greek tragedy. The players in this drama are helpless to act other than the way they do, but it is not the gods who set the parameters of their behavior, but society, with its written and unwritten list of expected behaviors and consequences for deviating from that list. Individualism Sammy asserts his individuality when he quits. He knows that Lengel has every right, according to the standards of his time, to speak to the girls as he does. But by standing up for the girls, Sammy questions those standards and asserts that there is a higher standard of decency that says one should not embarrass others. In deciding which rules of conduct are more important, he asserts his individuality, unlike the girls who slink away because they know they have violated the rules of conduct. Sammy is the only character in this story who asserts his individuality. Two of the girls are simply following their leader, and Queenie is easily embarrassed and capitulates to Lengel.

The Bloodiest Day On American Soil Since The Civil War
September 11th, 2001 was the bloodiest day on American soil since the Civil War. The United States experienced well planned terrorist attacks on the Twin Towers, Pentagon, and a plane that was headed to Washington D.C, most likely to hit the White House but ended up in a field. A country of nearly three hundred million people nearly came to a pause, meanwhile three thousand people passed away and the nation would be forever changed For some time many people were in shock and afraid to fly. Investigators came to the conclusion that the nation was not prepared for the violence that was planned to have many casualties that was possible and to destroy American symbols of freedom and success. Early that morning nineteen militant men that wereâ⬠¦show more contentâ⬠¦The men did not stand out; they often wore polos and khakis, lived in average apartments, and ate out at restaurants. A few of the men lived in the United States for years and even took flying lessons while they were here. Terrorists of the Al-Qaeda group that carried out the attacks shows that they are carefully hand picked and are not afraid to die while causing as much destruction as possible. The horrific events that morning began with Boeing 767, American Airlines flight eleven leaving Bostonââ¬â¢s Logan airport with eighty one passengers and Los Angeles bound at seven fifty nine. However, the plane took a sharp turn to the south headed towards the heart of New York City. At eight forty five flight eleven went soaring into the World Trade Centers 110- floors north tower. The upper floors instantly caught on fire. Down below, plane parts, furniture from the offices, bodies, and glass began to fall from above onto the streets devastating the people below. Whenever Flight Eleven hit the north building it was estimated to be carrying ten thousand gallons of fuel causing an uproar of orange fireballs and smoke from the building. Inside the building workers began to panic and find their quickest way out so they would not burn to death. To some escaping their death could mean running down the stairs or to most, jumping out the windows. Many who escaped had serious burns or suffered from smoke inhalation. At this time, many

If the NACRDB provided suc h assistance on time and make their procedures less cumbersome, many people would have been attracted to the scheme. But ironically, such funds more often than not are eventually made available at the end of the farming season. Also programmes such as (the Directorate for food, Roads and Rural Infrastructures otherwise known as (DFRRI), Mass Mobilization Self Reliance and Economic Reconstruction (MAMSER) and the National Agricultural Land Development Project (NALDA) created by the Babangida regime were all scraped by the Abacha regime. During the 1980ââ¬â¢s there was a global recession which became progressively worse for Nigeria because of the inherent weakness in the economy. The sudden reduction in oil prices led to cuts in government expenditure budgets leading to a reduction in employment opportunities especially school leavers. Hence, in order to curb the menace of the rising unemployment rate and considering its political and socio-economic implication; which includes a general increase in crime rates, such as armed robbery, youth restiveness,

These and that demonstrate our integrity, respect and commitment. We are sincere in our level of concern for employees, vendor and supplier relationships, our community and the planet. We have had the same Social Responsibility plan in place for the past five years. Strategically, the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) team heads up the development of our CSR Plan and supports the implementation and facilitation of the companyââ¬â¢s program. This team is made up of managers from various departments within the company. Every employee of UniqueSquared is responsible for the development of our Social Responsibility Plan. As employees we are all expected to challenge and encourage the company and others within our organization to exceed our current level of CSR. Together they develop and execute recycling programs for paper and card board that represents global best practices and research. Through the coming years, we will look to continue building upon our commitment to be a socially responsible company. We have a long-term goal of incorporating CSR into every appropriate aspect of our business. Unique strives to be a leader in not only our industry but also in corporate social responsibility. We plan to achieve this through leadership in recycling practices, environmental awareness, employee and community support programs and economic growth. SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY PROGRAM OVERVIEW UniqueSquared is an online e-tailer of pro-audio equipment. With the distribution of over 5,000 packaged orders per day, we are also responsible for protecting the environment. We have a vested interest in the sustainability of our economy, the environment and people. As the company may strive to increase profits, the main focus is on the triple bottom line, People, Planet and Profit. Our Corporate Social Responsibility initiatives are focused on the following three areas and directly impact and support the Triple Bottom Line concept: 1. Environmental (Planet) 2. Social (People) 3. Economic (Profit) Environmental: As a company we stand on the belief that we must do the right where we live and where others live as well. We plan to reduce our carbon footprint by implementing initiatives that improve and measure our recycling program. We ship and receive tens of thousands of boxes per week. It is most important that we discard these boxes in a way that is environmentally safe. A program will be developed to recycle and reuse empty boxes. We are requiring all of of suppliers and vendors to do the same. To be a preferred vendor, supplier or manufacturer doing business with us you have to participate in our cardboard box recycle/reuse program. Boxes will be either reused or recycled into packing paper to be used in place of styrofoam peanuts and plastic bubble wrap. It is important to us as a company that the companies we do business comply and support this effort to save the environment. Social: We are committed to earning and keeping the trust of our local community. We also believe in contributing to programs that support the music and art. The schools in our area have lost most or all of their funding for music and art programs. We have taken on the responsibility of providing resources and funding to keep these programs available to the families in our community. Employees are encouraged to volunteer a minimum of five hours per month, 60 hours per year to the improvement of our community or assisting with the community music and art programs. We do not only want to be a company that is viewed as being a leader in the pro-audio retail industry. We strive to be an employer that is viewed by our community as ne that is ethical, uplifting, caring and invested in the community we exist in as well as the world. Economic: Our economic growth and sustainability benefits our local community, our state and our country. We contribute to the prosperity of our community by not only being a local employer, but one that believes in hiring local people. Supporting the development and growth of our community by investing in the area. We provide opportunities for growth and development within the community by offering college scholarship and program sponsorships. We believe that we are only as strong as those we are surrounded by. Legal: CSR failures are becoming popular amongst corporations. These failures are impacting not only their reputations, but also their financial stability. When a company has not met their communicated CSR plan their stock price and market share can be poorly affected. UniqueSquared will engage legal council as we revise our CSR strategy. We must ensure that the company and all stakeholders are protected. Our legal team will take part in the development of our CSR strategy and the performance indicators. According to Carroll (1991), ââ¬Å"Legal responsibilities reflect a view of ââ¬Ëcodified ethicsââ¬â¢ in the sense that they embody basic notions of fair operations as established by our lawmakers. â⬠Although it is important to maximize profits, we have a legal obligation to conduct business in a way that is in alignment with the requirements of government and law. As we push to excel and be a profitable company, being in compliance with local, state and federal regulations is a must. Our legal team will ensure we are fulfilling all of our legal obligations and that we are meeting or exceeding all legal requirements. Since July, 1996 a mandatory recycling ordinance has been in effect. It requires offices buildings and warehouses with 15,000 square feet or more of office space to recycle office paper, newspaper and cardboard. The City conducts annual site inspections of businesses that are required to recycle. Although the company continues to practice being socially responsible, internal and external communication, documentation and evaluation are areas for improvement. Communication of the plan can be stronger and more frequent to gain buy-in through out the company. Many employees are not aware of the requirements or the expectations for the company. If all departments are not aware of the social responsibility plan, it makes it very difficult to be successful. Quarterly newsletters and company wide reminder emails would be very helpful in providing plan updates, changes and successes to the entire company. The plan needs to be documented and published for everyone to be aware of the company-wide expectation in regards to social responsibility. A documented plan is useful in communicating the plan, identifying gaps and necessary changes to the plan. With a clearly documented plan internal departments would know what the plan entails. Shareholders, vendors and the community would also benefit from this plan improvement. This information can be published to the company website for external parties to be able to view and download. As well as being available on the internal company website for employees to access easily. Although the company has done a lot to be socially responsible, there is no set evaluation plan in place to identify success or needed improvements. How do we know when the plan is successful? How do we know when we our current plan is no longer relevant or needs to be updated or revised? With an evaluation plan, it would help in answering these questions and more on an ongoing basis. Annual plan evaluations can be sent to solicit feedback, status and opinions from the employees, vendors and the community. Ethical Leadership The concept of ethical leadership can be difficult to explain for it is more than leaders doing the right thing. Ethical leadership addresses the areas of leadership through the appropriate handling of the situation, event or occurrence. The areas to be addressed are constantly changing and are not always the same for every organization. Leaders must gain the trust of those they lead. The culture of every organization may vary and the challenges will be different. How a leader addresses the challenges is essential to social responsibility and the community as a whole. Ethical leaders not only have a solid understanding of ethical ideals, they also understand the purpose, vision, and values of the organization and the community. They are able to connect the goals of the organization with that of the internal employees and external stakeholders. It is one thing to tell the story being ethical as a leader. Ethical leadership requires leaders to live the story. PROPOSED 2012 SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY PLAN Goal To have a vested interest in the sustainability of our economy, the environment and the people in our community. As strive to increase our profits, we put focus on the triple bottom line, People, Planet and Profit. Strategy: 1. By incorporating the Social Responsibility Plan as part of the overall UniqueSquared business strategy, we will improve awareness an buy-in from all levels of employees within the company. . With measurable initiatives, we can ensure that we are meeting our CSR objectives that are also based on the company strategy. 3. Documentation is necessary to encourage stakeholder buy-in. We will provide ample documentation of buy-in by stakeholders to support the strategy as well as direction. 4. Legal council is needed and should be engaged to provide guidance and ensure we are in compliance with all regulatio ns. One major risks of the CSR program is that we can be out of compliance unknowingly. This can be due to changing regulations and laws. They will also ensure the company and all stakeholders are legally protected. 5. By researching best practices in recycling and reusing cardboard boxes, and integrate into UniqueSquaredââ¬â¢s operational plan. This will hopefully give us an advantage over our competitors who may not have a CSR program or strategy in place as well as those that currently do. Strategy Initiatives: 1. Integrate recycling and reuse principles into the UniqueSquared business strategy to ensure that all organizations within the company are provided with processes and procedures to promote and support the recycling and reuse program. . Develop policies and procedures that support UniqueSquaredââ¬â¢s recycling and reuse program as we comply with recycling regulatory standards and mandates. 3. Develop supervisors, managers and executives to facilitate company-wide training programs on the recycle program policies and procedures. REFERENCES A. B.

Dear Diary Essay Yesterday was the happiest day of my life. To wake up and know I would be finally married to my prince charming Romeo, and would look into his deep honey colored eyes every morning, From the moment I had seen Romeo at the feat, I knew there was something about him, as I kept looking at the other side of the room trying to track him, he was handsome and looked a bit older than me, but that didnt matter all that mattered was that during the feast I would get the opportunity to meet him, I could swear this day, it looked as if darkness cloaked everyone, but there seemed to be this inner radiance that glowed with brilliance surrounding him. As he walked that radiance followed him like a heavenly spotlight. I say heaven because he seemed more conjured angel than mortal by his soft, white glowing face. It was like an angelic vision as I pictured the thought of me and him together, his every move and every step was like it floated on air, and right then I would have given anything to be in the air beside him. I had also noticed that he glimpsed at me a couple of times smiling, I knew he to knew felt something for me. I had decided not to go to the other side and see if he was going to take any action but right then my heart won over, and I persuaded myself to pass by slowly on the pretence of searching for something, As soon as I reached the other side, I noticed him following me to the area of where the aquarium was, we just gazed at each other for more than 5 minutes. It came to the point were it had been considered to God as a sin and kissed. Nurse had called me so we separated in sorrow hoping to have another chance that night, I was called by nurse because my mother had craved a word with me. I left, I was amazed at how fast things occurred. I had done what my mom had requested of me and noticed that Romeo had left. I than ran to the nurse and asked if she knew whom he was, she had replied whispering to me that he was the son of my only enemies the Montagues. At that point I was unable to feel myself, as if my heart stopped beating in a sudden. I couldnt believe it my only love sprung from my only hate! I had decided to run up to my room and think of what I shall do, I slowly decided to sit in the balcony. Staring at the moon as it shown over the city of Verona, I had heard the most strong and manliest voice, It was Romeo, I just stood there listening to every word that came out of his mouth, I was speechless, unsure what to say, my heart was just tripping along the very words I wanted to speak out, unsure how to phrase them. Just then I just followed what came out of my mouth, O Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo?. After I had finished, he had stepped out of the shadows. We had stared at each other for as long as I had remembered. Romeo had for the first time told me that he truly felt true passion and love for me. I had than warned him that if he was to be caught on our property he would have been killed. So he would have to be aware and careful of every sound and move he makes. Things were happening too fast the world to me seemed so brilliant and fragile. I knew that we had to be separated for the second time tonight because we didnt; want to be caught. We had arranged to meet privately with Friar Lawrence the next morning who had decided to do the honor of getting a Romeo and I married. It was the first day of my life I was passionately in love. I felt I had great power and ability to talk and share my feeling with my Romeo, which was something; I was unable to do with any other individual. Nurse had known all about what was going on, in fact she was like my own mother, she advised me and h elped me. .u0910b92e8eb5426b73a5fcf724c294fd , .u0910b92e8eb5426b73a5fcf724c294fd .postImageUrl , .u0910b92e8eb5426b73a5fcf724c294fd .centered-text-area { min-height: 80px; position: relative; } .u0910b92e8eb5426b73a5fcf724c294fd , .u0910b92e8eb5426b73a5fcf724c294fd:hover , .u0910b92e8eb5426b73a5fcf724c294fd:visited , .u0910b92e8eb5426b73a5fcf724c294fd:active { border:0!important; } .u0910b92e8eb5426b73a5fcf724c294fd .clearfix:after { content: ""; display: table; clear: both; } .u0910b92e8eb5426b73a5fcf724c294fd { display: block; transition: background-color 250ms; webkit-transition: background-color 250ms; width: 100%; opacity: 1; transition: opacity 250ms; webkit-transition: opacity 250ms; background-color: #95A5A6; } .u0910b92e8eb5426b73a5fcf724c294fd:active , .u0910b92e8eb5426b73a5fcf724c294fd:hover { opacity: 1; transition: opacity 250ms; webkit-transition: opacity 250ms; background-color: #2C3E50; } .u0910b92e8eb5426b73a5fcf724c294fd .centered-text-area { width: 100%; position: relative ; } .u0910b92e8eb5426b73a5fcf724c294fd .ctaText { border-bottom: 0 solid #fff; color: #2980B9; font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold; margin: 0; padding: 0; text-decoration: underline; } .u0910b92e8eb5426b73a5fcf724c294fd .postTitle { color: #FFFFFF; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600; margin: 0; padding: 0; width: 100%; } .u0910b92e8eb5426b73a5fcf724c294fd .ctaButton { background-color: #7F8C8D!important; color: #2980B9; border: none; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: none; font-size: 14px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 26px; moz-border-radius: 3px; text-align: center; text-decoration: none; text-shadow: none; width: 80px; min-height: 80px; background: url(https://artscolumbia.org/wp-content/plugins/intelly-related-posts/assets/images/simple-arrow.png)no-repeat; position: absolute; right: 0; top: 0; } .u0910b92e8eb5426b73a5fcf724c294fd:hover .ctaButton { background-color: #34495E!important; } .u0910b92e8eb5426b73a5fcf724c294fd .centered-text { display: table; height: 80px; padding-left : 18px; top: 0; } .u0910b92e8eb5426b73a5fcf724c294fd .u0910b92e8eb5426b73a5fcf724c294fd-content { display: table-cell; margin: 0; padding: 0; padding-right: 108px; position: relative; vertical-align: middle; width: 100%; } .u0910b92e8eb5426b73a5fcf724c294fd:after { content: ""; display: block; clear: both; } READ: Lady Macbeth and Macbeth EssayThe day of the wedding was the most joy filled day in my life, knowing I would get married to someone I admired greatly, my true love. The wedding had lasted less than an hour. We decided to go to our daily chores and than to meet in my chamber that night. I had managed to get home without my parents questioning me of where I had went. I remained in my room all day. I felt my heart beat so slowly I was very calm and relaxed. I knew that every heart beat, made the time closer to when Romeo would arrive. The night finished so quickly realizing we had not spent as much time as we wanted. But no one could change time. We would just have to meet ag ain in a few days. Later that evening I completed my daily work, tidied up my room. The next day, nurse had woken me up quite early to tell me news, as she called it, I was excited, I knew it might have been about Romeos next visit or perhaps a message from him, but the nurse just shook her head to all the possibilities I had in mind. The nurse told me that it was news that I would dislike greatly, now I got very anxious and worried. The words came out of her mouth very quietly and softly as her eyes tiered up. Tybalt is Dead she said. I just didnt want to here more, I havent cried this much in such a long time. And after the nurse had told me that Romeo was the one that killed him thats what really made my tears fall harder. I still couldnt grasp the fact that he wasnt going to be around and what made it worse was that Romeo, my husband killed him! I knew that since I didnt know all the circumstances I shouldnt get mad at anyone or accuse anyone. But at that moment I had zero respect toward Romeo. How could he do something so horrible? Later I found out what really happened.I found out that there was a fight and Tybalt had killed Mercutio, one of Romeos bestfriends. Romeo killed Tybalt out of anger. I know that it wasnt an excuse for Romeo but it made me feel a bit more compassionate towards him, I still think its the worst thing anyone could do, but Tybalt wronged too. Im so upset; I dont know what to do.. I just couldnt believe all that was happening, I felt like there was no point of living anymore, if Romeo wasnt going to be there. The nurse told me that Romeo would be present at my chamber tonight, and then would leave straight the next morning because he had the consequence of being Banished instead of being murdered. Thats what the prince commanded. That night When Romeo had arrived, we had kissed each other, and had spent most of the time talking it was so romantic, and joyful, yet the thought of him banishing from Fair Verona really affected me. The night passed by so quickly that the 8 hours felt like 5 minutes. It came to the time where Romeo had to leave, I felt alone as soon as Romeo left, like I had no one to talk to, no one to love, no one to be loved by. There arose a moment of silence as Romeo made his way out of the chamber, at that point I wished that Fortune could some how change and bring my love Romeo back. It was only the nurse that was there for me. Later that day, still during the morning Nurse came into my chamber and had told me that my mother is making her way there too. I started panick ing, tidying up here and there and opening the window so that the light of the sun could come in.. .ud171db826e82014e53b11b2c0f3dca61 , .ud171db826e82014e53b11b2c0f3dca61 .postImageUrl , .ud171db826e82014e53b11b2c0f3dca61 .centered-text-area { min-height: 80px; position: relative; } .ud171db826e82014e53b11b2c0f3dca61 , .ud171db826e82014e53b11b2c0f3dca61:hover , .ud171db826e82014e53b11b2c0f3dca61:visited , .ud171db826e82014e53b11b2c0f3dca61:active { border:0!important; } .ud171db826e82014e53b11b2c0f3dca61 .clearfix:after { content: ""; display: table; clear: both; } .ud171db826e82014e53b11b2c0f3dca61 { display: block; transition: background-color 250ms; webkit-transition: background-color 250ms; width: 100%; opacity: 1; transition: opacity 250ms; webkit-transition: opacity 250ms; background-color: #95A5A6; } .ud171db826e82014e53b11b2c0f3dca61:active , .ud171db826e82014e53b11b2c0f3dca61:hover { opacity: 1; transition: opacity 250ms; webkit-transition: opacity 250ms; background-color: #2C3E50; } .ud171db826e82014e53b11b2c0f3dca61 .centered-text-area { width: 100%; position: relative ; } .ud171db826e82014e53b11b2c0f3dca61 .ctaText { border-bottom: 0 solid #fff; color: #2980B9; font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold; margin: 0; padding: 0; text-decoration: underline; } .ud171db826e82014e53b11b2c0f3dca61 .postTitle { color: #FFFFFF; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600; margin: 0; padding: 0; width: 100%; } .ud171db826e82014e53b11b2c0f3dca61 .ctaButton { background-color: #7F8C8D!important; color: #2980B9; border: none; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: none; font-size: 14px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 26px; moz-border-radius: 3px; text-align: center; text-decoration: none; text-shadow: none; width: 80px; min-height: 80px; background: url(https://artscolumbia.org/wp-content/plugins/intelly-related-posts/assets/images/simple-arrow.png)no-repeat; position: absolute; right: 0; top: 0; } .ud171db826e82014e53b11b2c0f3dca61:hover .ctaButton { background-color: #34495E!important; } .ud171db826e82014e53b11b2c0f3dca61 .centered-text { display: table; height: 80px; padding-left : 18px; top: 0; } .ud171db826e82014e53b11b2c0f3dca61 .ud171db826e82014e53b11b2c0f3dca61-content { display: table-cell; margin: 0; padding: 0; padding-right: 108px; position: relative; vertical-align: middle; width: 100%; } .ud171db826e82014e53b11b2c0f3dca61:after { content: ""; display: block; clear: both; } READ: How does Shakespeare create tension in the trial scene of the Merchant of Venice EssayMy mother knocked and came in.. As she made her way across the room to my bed she saw me crying, and logically thought that I would have to be only crying for Tybalts death. I had assured her and said I was crying for that. She had than told me to wipe the precious tears of my eyes, because she said she had some good news for me, I knew that any good news from my mom meant the opposite to me and indeed thats what happened. She had told me that Paris, the one I dislike arranged with my father to make me his bride the coming Thursday. I was astonished and just felt like I wanted to die, wan ted to escape, wanted to shout. I was confused! I heard father enter the room, singing in a very loud tone, which he never does, this signified his happiness. He had looked over my head, as if he didnt seen me and asked my mother if she had announced the news to me, she said yes but that I didnt agree and accept it. At that point his high tone singing turned into loud yelling. He made his way towards me and slapped me across the face. He had threatened me that if I wouldnt marry Paris than I would be kicked out of the house and would not be his daughter any longer. I felt like I have done something so mischievous. I know that I had the right of who I wanted to marry, if marriage was by force the world would have been all filled with enemies and violence. I had replied and said that I didnt want to marry Paris because he wasnt in my interest, and that I didnt admire him as a husband. My father didnt wait a moment and slapped me with all his force across the face. I felt my face go so red and the force just made me fall hard against the floor. He then impatiently stepped out of my room, yelling thoughts to himself. I had then begged my mom to dely this marriage any way, or I will then prefer to lie in that dim monument where Tybalt lies. My mother had reacted very strangely and had decided to not put her self in this and to take my dads side. Now it was only me and the Nurse. She had told me to just marry Paris, but I had replied with all my force lifting myself up of the ground and saying no. Than I just knew that I would have no choice. I took a step or 2 towards the nurse and had told her that I was going to make my way to Friar Lawrence to make confession since I have displeased my father, which I didnt mean I had meant that my only option left for me was to die.

A Love of Farce free essay sample
A study of Shakespeares play A Midsummer Nights Dream. This paper examines the play A Midsummer Nights Dream by William Shakespeare. It describes the playful pursuit of romance and the hilarious farce that is totally reasonless. The author writes that A Midsummer Nights Dream illustrates the farcical nature of love and celebrates its unquestionable irrationality. A Midsummer Nights Dream is the quintessential romantic parody. Involving the use of magic potions and mythical creatures, Shakespeare portrays love as a potentially ridiculous pursuit and one totally devoid of reason. When Bottom states to Titania in Act 3, Scene 1, `reason and love keep little company together nowadays,` he sums up one of the main themes of the play. Reason and love usually do not coexist, for emotions take on a life of their own.
