In William Shakespeare’s play Romeo and Juliet, Juliet is one of the only characters who takes time to think over her decisions. In addition to this, she sticks to the choices she makes despite anyone else’s input. This is shown through Juliet’s thoughts when her mother speaks ill of her one true love, Romeo. When her mother regards Romeo as a “villain” for murdering Juliet’s cousin, Juliet says “Villain and he be many miles asunder. - God pardon him! I do, with all my heart” (3.5.85-86). In this quote, Juliet is expressing how she forgives Romeo for what he had done and that she does not think of him as a villain. Her saying this shows her fidelity and devotion to Romeo. Her lover for him is so strong that she is willing to forgive him for…
It is possible for someone to become so consumed by revenge that his health suffers. He has been wronged by someone and believe in “tit for a tat”, so they choose getting even instead of forgiveness. This may seem like the easiest and fairest way to live life, but it can completely occupy lives and cloud judgment. Roger Chillingworth chose to take revenge on Dimmesdale (for the affair the minister had with his wife) in Nathaniel Hawthorne’s novel The Scarlet Letter. His need for revenge becomes unnatural and his hatred for Dimmesdale eventually ruins him over the course of several years.…
Arguably one of the greatest movies of all time, The Godfather pt 2 stimulates audiences by portraying two culturally different crime syndicates and their leaders in a power struggle. Although both men are exceptionally powerful and prominent characters in Francis Ford Coppola’s film, Hyman Roth and Michael Corleone are extremely different. Throughout the film, we see differences in Roth and Michael’s means of conducting business. Whether it is the way they handle certain situations or deal with their problems, we see a sharp contrast between these two protagonists. Due to their different personalities, there is an evident schism seen in the way these two men run their respected organized crime syndicates.…

"Being tired is the worst. When your limbs feel like stone, and you can’t think straight because you’re so drained. When you can’t articulate a sentence and moving at all is so hard, you feel you might pass out. Every time you stand, you feel faint, and every time you try to do anything, you just can’t. You’re too exhausted to enjoy anything. Life feels like nothing but hard work, and you don’t even have the energy to care. And worst of all, despite all of this, you still can’t sleep at nights. It feels like you’re dying, but somehow, you never do.…

The poor man comes across both God and the devil who both offer to take care of the son. Instead the man makes Death the godfather because he believes Death is equal.

In the movie The Godfather, Consigliere Tom Hagan captured the essence of my legal practice: “I have a special practice. I handle one client.” Basically, I run a small law firm of government attorneys that represent a single state-agency client. Specifically, I supervise a division of the West Virginia Attorney General’s Office that represents the State’s Department of Health and Human Resources in state and federal court and administrative tribunals. With five bureaus and over 5,000 employees, the Department is West Virginia’s largest state agency. And because it serves a vulnerable population, provides a broad number of social services, and annually receives billions of federal dollars, the Department frequently confronts complex and potentially very expensive legal issues. It is my job to see that those issues are resolved. In this position, I routinely interact with the Department’s cabinet secretary and her senior staff, as well as members of the Governor’s office. I also play a central role in the decision-making…
