I think she’s dead,” (Bradbury 44) Mildred said this with no emotion at all and this kind of hurt Montag. “We couldn’t be talking about the same girl,” (Bradbury 44) Montag just couldn’t believe that she was gone.

much is too much? Is gaining absolute equality worth sacrificing individuality and freedom? In Kurt Vonnegut’s “Harrison Bergeron”, total equality is introduced to a futuristic society in 2081. Vonnegut warns us that there is a heavy price to pay when we constantly search for new ways to equalize and could quite possibly end up like those mindless clones in Harrison Bergeron’s society.

Shakespeare brilliantly makes Hamlet a tragedy; The characters introduced throughout the play appear to be truthful, honest, and pure but in reality they are deceitful and evil. There are four main characters that hide behind this sort of figurative mask: Polonius, Rosencrantz (Guildenstern), and Claudius. The appearance of these characters will make it challenging for Hamlet to uncover the truth, thus making the plot very chaotic and interesting for the reader. Polonius keeps up the appearance of
