When accepting the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award Angelina Jolie says “...across the world, there is a woman, with the same abilities and the same desires, same work ethic and love for her family, who would most likely make better films and better speeches. Only she sits in a refugee camp and she has no voice. She worries about what her children will eat, how to keep them safe, and if they’ll ever be allowed to return home.

The poem "Ozymandias" is one of the best sonnets of Percy Bysshe Shelley. In this poem Shelley described a mighty king who was striving in his whole life for his possessions and got involved in worldly assignments so much that he forgot his ultimate destiny. Beside this, Shelley reminds the readers of their mortality through the realization that our earthly accomplishments, so important to us now, will one day be finished. By drawing these vivid and ironic pictures in readers minds, with different

"Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair," shouts the platform from which Ozymandias has been reduced to speak.

Denouement: The final outcome that had happened in this book is that Killer Kane got arrested for kidnapping Max and an attempt to choke Loretta.

Achilles about returning custody of Hector’s body to him for a proper, Trojan, burial. Throughout his speech, Priam includes rhetorical strategies that allows him to open up Achilles iron heart, and persuade him to release Hector’s body and allow enough time to grieve and remember the mighty Hector. Priam begs the mighty Achilles for the return of his son and does so successfully by portraying deep respect to Achilles and honors his nobility, refers to Achilles father and the remembrance of friends, and
awful is it to be left behind at such a day! To see so many rejoicing and singing for joy of heart , while you have cause to mourn for sorrow of heart, and howl for vexation of spirit.” This is telling the audience that there is a heaven and a Hell, which is another aspect of Puritan belief. This belief is also said in Upon the Burning of Our House; she says, “Thou hast a house on high erect framed by that mighty Architect, with glory richly furnished, stands permanent though this be fled.” In this she

The first main problem has to do with the villain of the book: Kenny
“A mighty fortress is our God, a bulwark never failing; Our helper He, amid the flood of mortal ills prevailing.” Here is the classic English translation of the first two lines of Martin Luther's famous hymn “A Mighty Fortress is Our God.“ Indeed, it is famous among Christians who unashamedly identify themselves with the Protestant Reformation of the 16th century, which until today continually inspires them to appreciate their roots in the ancient paths (Jeremiah 6:16) of biblical Christianity over

He stated that spiritual illnesses are far more dangerous than physical, which results from the ignorance and deviation from The All Mighty Allah (S.W.T.). He determined some of the spiritual illnesses as; self-centeredness, addiction to wealth, fame
“You see a battery of guns go by . . . and for a moment you are back at” Antietam. “You hear a few shots fired in the distance, and for a moment your heart stops . . . .

which remained scarcely survived the sands of time. So in this way, the reader perceives that a legacy through a mere monument is a legacy which fades. So what is left of Ozymandias? The poem itself—and further, the poem actually slights at the very heart of the former king’s desired legacy. We see that, in fact, how easily the Pharaoh, whom monuments had once been built for and who once ruled a great empire, is easily thwarted in the reader’s mind by linguistic expressions, by delicate subtle phrases
“Why, my friend, do you speak like a weakling? With your spineless words you make me despondent,” (19, 41). In the first instance, the proud and ignorant Gilgamesh is the speaker, encouraging Enkidu to take on the challenge of fighting Humbaba, a mighty giant that Gilgamesh has never encountered before, whereas, in the second instance, Enkidu is the speaker, experienced and aware of the situation when they finally face Humbaba, urging haste and forcing Gilgamesh to fulfill his quest. In both instances

A group of people, called the conspirators, disagreed with the election and decided to take matters into their own hands. Someone named Cassius gathered the group up and even convinced Brutus, one of Caesar’s
