in a mental facility, in the world she is still considered normal. The most important thing Susanna learned was that only you can truly ever heal yourself. Although very vague idea, many people can agree with it through personal experience. Susanna met many different kinds of people when she went into the ward, many who were considered too far gone to ever re-enter society. Because she was surrounded by these people Susanna believes that she only got worse. She suddenly began thinking in very psychotic
As you begin to read “The Hate Poem” by Julie Sheehan your first impression will probably be that the speaker loathes the person that they are writing about. However, as you continue to read the poem and look deeper into its meanings you may find that they may not be as crystal clear as they first appeared. The hate that is spoken of again and again may not be hate at all. In fact though the speaker never comes out and directly states their hatred they may really be trying to portray the exact opposite
“Taming of the Shrew” and the movie “10 things I hate about you”, the role of Katerine changed dramatically due to the fact that it was an unusual time period and societal expectations of women. The way she had dressed and acted in the movie was a lot seperate than the way she was in the play. In the play Katherine is an adult who has a difficult time with her attitude towards the people around and her sister Bianca always is pushing her to do things that she doesn’t want to do just so Bianca gets to have
"I see a woman may be a fool, If she had not spirit to resist." This quote by William Shakespeare reveals both themes of " The Taming Of The Shrew", a play by William Shakespeare and "10 Things I Hate About You" by Gil Junger. "10 Things I Hate About You" along with "The Taming Of The Shrew" tell similar stories about the girls (Kat/Kate) who do not like to be disturbed or connected with marriage or dating. The girls conclude being "tamed" by the men (Petruchio/Patrick) who have been persuaded to
obviously off limits to me, but one word Mom disliked more than swears was the word hate. She did not hate the word she just strongly disliked the word. I remember testing the word out at home and feeling dumbfounded when Mom first declared the word as a bad one. All my friends in second grade used the word all the time: “I hate staying inside”, “I hate reading time”, and “I really hate that book.” Based off my own experience, the word just did not seem all that naughty to me, so I questioned Mom
people and saying God doesn't love us," she said. As we joined our friends across the road from the Christian protesters, I thought back to church and remembered my preacher saying that God loves everyone. A guy came over and told us the protesters were from out of state and were here because ours was one of the largest gay communities in the country. I thought, I wish we were the gayest community, all happy and stuff. My friend grabbed my arm and pulled me aside, saying, "We have to stand up to
between both Sylvia Plath’s, “Mad Girl’s Love Song”, and, “Hate Poem” by Julie Sheehan. Similarities that coexist between the two poems are: theme, imagery, and repetition. Love can be beautiful and bright, it can also be dark and depressing, as exemplified in both Plath’s and Sheehan’s writing. Love that is filled with hatred and other powerful mixed emotion coincides in the theme of both Sylvia Plath’s, “Mad Girl’s Love Song”, and, “Hate Poem” by Julie Sheehan. Plath’s title a “Mad Girl’s Love
Merchant of Venice is a play about both love and hate. Shakespeare shows the theme of hate through the prejudice of both the Jews and the Christians and the theme of love amongst the Christian love of friendship and love of marriage. These themes are set in two different places: Belmont (where Portia lives) and Venice (where Shylock lives). Belmont symbolises love and Venice symbolises hate and because Belmont conquers Venice, love conquers hate. Shylock and his daughter, Jessica have quite
Love and Hate Depicted in Shakespeare's Merchant of Venice The Merchant of Venice is a play both about love and hate. Shakespeare illustrates the theme of hate most prominently through the prejudices of both Christians and Jews and their behaviour towards one another. The theme of love is shown amongst the Christians, in the love of friendship and marital love. The themes are emphasised in the settings of the play, Belmont symbolising love and Venice symbolising hate. As well as this the immorality
Yesterday I was confronted with the gospel of hate. I was watching a TV show about a team of gay male cheerleaders. The show told about their personal stories as well as the hate that they are regularly confronted with. Time and time again “Christians” would stand around them, telling them that they should be burned, that they are going to hell and that God hates them for what they are. I was furious. It felt to me like some part of God’s heart for the lost and the broken exploded in my chest. What
genders battle over emotional and economical control. Throughout the blend of twisted romance, island mystery, and deceptive magic, the deep rooted love themes appear. The many emotions of desire, lust, trust, and happiness are portrayed, but also hate, fear, and jealousy. Romantic love, or dreamy love, is continuously portrayed in the novel as the characters bring it into their relationships. They bring their past baggage from previous relationships and their thought on class, race, and gender.

Many people claim that love and hate are the same thing, while others say that the two emotions are complete opposites. William Shakespeare explored the two emotions in his play Romeo and Juliet. In the play, Romeo Montague and Juliet Capulet are teens who grew up in families that have been feuding longer than either family can remember. However, the two meet out of unforeseen circumstances, and fall irrevocably in “love”. They woo, and within twenty-four hours they are married. Things seem to be
The movie, 10 Things I Hate About You, directed by Gil Junger and released in 1999 takes place in a high school environment and is a modern teen romantic comedy. It shows how the main character Kat Stratford grows and develops throughout the movie. By the end of this film, we can see how she is able to balance between her strong feminist values and ideas and her newfound thoughts on love and romance. A secondary source that I looked at is called “Taming 10 Things I Hate About You: Shakespeare and
10 Things I Hate About You, a romantic comedy, directed by Gil Junger, is one of several films adapted from William Shakespeare’s Taming of the Shrew. While there are similarities between the original play and the 1999 film, there are also many remarkable differences, which is exactly what makes the film so significant. 10 Things I Hate About You borrows multiple aspects directly from the play, such as character names, direct quotes, and multiple homages to William Shakespeare himself, taking a classic
mother frown, and tries to smooth the frown out with her hand, But she pushed me away, not roughly but calmly, coldly, without a word, as if she had decided once and for all that I was useless to her. She wanted to sit with Pierre or walk where she pleased without being pestered, she wanted peace and quiet.…. 'Oh, let me alone,' she would say, 'let me alone' (13; part 1).

Hurston grew up in a small town in Florida called Eatonville, it was an all African American town and this has Its pros and cons.

Yahaira loved Papi, and the discovery of his other daughter made her grow to hate the other family, as stated when Yahaira professes “I want to hate a dead woman, and her daughter who most likely hates me for making my father leave her in the first place.”(Acevedo 243).
instance both tell the story of a girl whom the world broke. For Millay’s female lead, Nastaya, it was having the thing she loved most being taken away from her in the most brutal way possible. “I hate it when it stutters and trembles and reminds me that my identity is gone”. For Gill's female lead who goes unnamed in the poem, it was being broken down by someone whom the adored, “Someone she loved broke her heart by ignoring her beautiful words”. Nastaya and the girl in the poem let the actions

In the short story Sweat written by Zora Neale Hurston, the character Sykes is a cruel and unfaithful husband. Together these two traits create a troubled character. As the story opens he scares his wife Delia by throwing his big bull whip on her shoulders knowing that she may assume it is a snake. She reacts in terror and mentions that he knows
