Gianina, my twin sister, has an irrational dislike of bananas and cheese. She will not knowingly eat anything that has bananas or cheese, and in fact, the simple mention of bananas may very well throw her into a fit. Bizarrely, one of her favorite foods is mango cheesecake and she will quite happily eat anything so long as no one mentions it contains bananas or cheese. Gianina’s predilection annoys me not only because my favorite thing to eat is new york style pizza, but also because it reminds me

Using a disgusted pattern of diction, Shakespeare helps to convey a bitter tone when Cassius states, “trash”, “rubbish” and “offal” to express his belief that Rome will become a terrible place when Caesar rules. Also, the fact that Cassius says, “a thing”, to describe
Hamlet's Frustration In order to understand Hamlet, we must understand his frustration. This frustration is most clear in his famous monologue, famously beginning with the line "Oh what a rogue and peasant slave am I." This self-condemnation is contrasted by his admiration for the actor of the previous scene, who "in a fiction" is able to "force his soul to his own conceit." The word "soul" is an example of metonymy, as the soul represents the actor's "visage," "tears," "distraction," and

means incapable of feeling or inanimate. He simply is spiritless when he writes this chapter. At the end of chapter 6 Douglass wrote about how a slave named Mary was whipped so often she would bleed. “I have seen Mary contending with the pigs for the offal thrown into the street. So much was Mary kicked and cut to pieces, that she was oftener called “pecked” than by her name”(Douglass page 31). The way he wrote it was as if he didn’t flinch at the awful details of her being whipped. A less disturbing
the Pauper is a drama that teaches us to be thankful with what you have. It also teaches us to step in somebody else’s shows once in a while. Because in the drama, the Prince wasn’t really thankful with what he had because he wanted to go live in Offal court and play in the mud. And Tom didn’t know the pressure of being a prince until after he met the king. He just wanted to become prince for his fine meals, fine clothes, and his “good” life. People must not only see the pros, but must also see the

The factory districts were so full of “heaps of debris, refuse, and offal” that it made “it impossible for a human being in any degree civilised to live” there (Doc 4). Although there were improvements in sanitation during this time period, they would have mainly been centered around where the rich lived, not around the
