Analytical Essay Romeo And Juliet
Analytical Essay – Romeo and Juliet Written by the world–renowned playwright William
Shakespeare during the Elizabethan era, Romeo and Juliet explores the tragic demise of an ill–fated
couple. During the Elizabethan era, patriarchy was dominant in the Elizabethan society and it was
common for fathers to arrange marriages for their children. Shakespeare references the
consequences of families forcing young women to marry men for status rather than love with Juliet's
cautionary tale. Through his tragedy structure, Shakespeare creates complex characters with layered
and flawed personalities such as Romeo's. This is portrayed through Shakespeare's use of literary
technique, which highlights the characters who play a significant role in the wedded lover's death.
The character who is primarily responsible for Romeo and Juliet's unfortunate catastrophe was Friar
Lawrence due to his actions and choices which escalate the tragic events in the plot. Romeo's
hamartia Shakespeare structured his tragic plays to include the protagonist's hamartia to drive them
to their sorrowful death. Romeo's impulsive infatuation towards Juliet, even after discovering that
she was a Capulet, was his first step into the play's staircase of catastrophe; his fatal flaw. In Act 1
Scene 2, Shakespeare demonstrates Romeo's tenacious infatuation with Rosaline using metaphors.
When Benvolio compares Rosaline to a crow and the other young ladies at the ball as swans, as a
way of inviting Romeo to the ball,

Analysis Of The Book ' Wonder '
The book "Wonder" written by R.J. Palacio follows a young boy named August Pullman and his
struggles in fifth grade. The struggle of being the only kid who looks the way he does. The struggle
of being the only kid at his school who has Treacher Collins Syndrome. Even with all the obstacles
in his path, August's overall experience at Beecher Prep has had a positive impact on his life. Not
only does August have to deal with bullies because of his facial abnormalities, but he also has to
adjust to a "real" school. August was always homeschooled due to his 27 surgeries. No one sees
August as ordinary, well, except himself. Everyone else is blinded by Auggie's looks and for awhile
they can't seem to look past them. But when

And boy will I tell you Julian deserved it. With all the stuff Julian puts Auggie through Julian
deserved worse. On page 267 Amos stood up for Auggie by saying, " Leave him alone dude." It was
really strange for Amos to do this since he was on Julian's side for awhile.
Near the end of the book Auggie feels accepted. On page 282 we find evidence of this when he says,
"It was like I was one of them." When he says "them" he is referring to the other students. Auggie
could finally feel "normal" and it is necessary for August to feel this way because people have
always seen Auggie as strange because of his face. At a point August even forgets he has Treacher
Collins syndrome
. On page 307 we find an example of this, "I wasn't even thinking about my face. I
was just smiling a big happy smile." August felt like it didn 't matter what his face looked like. It just
mattered that he was happy. For once, Auggie didn 't feel like everyone was trying to get away from
him; on the contrary, he said, "It kind of felt like everyone wanted to get close to me." (pg 308)
August can finally feel like a "normal" kid.
Some may argue that Auggie's experience had a negative impact because of the bullies, but in the
end he had everyone on his side. Plus with the conditions there will always be people who give you
those long stares, or those people who do that look then look away

Analytical Literary Review
The assignment required a selection and review of five different literary sources, designating three
as resources for an analytical literary review of the subject matter. The detailed review of the three
selected resources is a culmination of our written critic. The first source, "Should College Athletes
Be Paid?" by Tiffany Patterson, has no firm stance is taken. The article is laid out in a manner to
inform readers without prior knowledge of the subject, information that would assist them towards
drawing their own stance on the subject. Patterson does this by providing three pros and three cons
on the topic and then allowing the reader to decide. In her article, Patterson (2016) proclaims:

Analytical Review of Lakeside Company's Financial Statements
Procedure Findings Significance
Scan Trial Balance 640–1 Repairs and Maintenance Expense: From $38,200 to $97,800. This is 2.56
times the value in 2011 to 2012 This large increase could be due to an error in reporting this
expense. This expense should be verified. It is possible this change is due to additional assets which
means additional maintenance or existing equipment is breaking down and needs repairing more
often. Assets should be evaluated and should determine whether they were written off and/or
capitalized when they shouldn't have been.
Scan Trial Balance 520–1 & 520–2 Sales Returns: have risen significantly for the company stores at
149% and the distributorships 173%. This

Cost of goods sold in store 3 was 58.5% of sales in 2011 and in 2012 it dropped to 50.3%. This is
odd because sales and inventory had increased from 2011 to 2012. When sales increase costs of
goods should rise respectively. If a business is becoming more profitable the inventory generally
doesn't increase considerably. This increase in inventory could be due to obsolescence. All of these
factors don't add up to an increase in sales.
Scan Trial Balance 200–1 Bank Credit Line – Security National Bank: Increased by $108,000 from
2011 to 2012. As shown in the financial ratios above, Lakeside has a low times interest earned ratio.
An increase in debt and a low profit margins are not going to bode well for Lakeside. It is going to
be even more difficult to pay the interest as it becomes due and possibly make it more difficult to
meet debt covenants and/or acquire additional loans.
Scan Trial Balance 650–1 Utilities Expense: This has dropped $16,400 This drop in utilities expense
seems odd because Lakeside is in the process of opening new stores. This decrease does not reflect
this growth activity. This account should be reevaluated to ensure no mistakes in recording this
amount were

Global Warming : A Critical Analysis
Climate Change; A Critical Analysis
Global warming has been a topic discussed for several decades (35 years). Along with the discussion
about what should we do to prevent, stop, and reverse the damaging effects. The scientific
community has been researching and studying the climate and the effects humans and our pollution
have had and will continue to have if we do not change our environmental laws and our views
towards the environment. With overwhelming support from qualified scientist many new
environmental movements should be going into effect, but negative opinions from the general
population are causing significate delays and obstacles in repairing and preventing damage to the
environment. The following critical analysis will discuss

Gasses such as CO2, methane, water vapor, nitrous oxide, and CFCs are gasses that increase the
greenhouse effect (1). The levels of CO2 in the atmosphere has stayed between 180 and 300 parts
per million for 800,000 years, in 2014 the CO2 levels has increased to 400 parts per million (5).
Why has there been just an increase in CO2 and other greenhouse gasses? Climate Change prior to
the Industrial Revolution can be explained by natural causes, recent climate change can not be
explained by natural causes along, so humans are the most likely cause for Global Warming (5).
Human activities release over 30 billion tons of CO2 into the atmosphere every year (5). We release
these gasses through things like burning fossil fuels (CO2), agriculture, and waste in landfills
(methane), soil cultivation and fuel burning (nitrous oxide), automobiles, power plants, and
industrial sources (ozone), and the most abundant greenhouse gas water vapor, which is controlled
by temperatures so as the temperatures rise more water vapor is trapped (1). According to a group of
1,300 independent scientific experts from countries all over the world they concluded that "there 's a
more than 90 percent probability that human activities over the past 50

negative perspective and following examples: women, the higher–status person, and foreigners. In

However, author illustrated that American's casual and friendly behavior, and he/she mentioned

Analysis Of The Movie ' Contagion '
Student's Name Institution Date ±
Contagion is a movie that was released in 2011 which is based
on fear, greed, heroism and greed and involves a lot of sick people. This movie is very scary and
provides lessons in the field of virology and epidemiology. The movie is set at ever–changing
challenges as well as threats of microbial origin that lead to the origin of casualties who vary from
few individuals to lots and lots of millions of people. It has been described as a global pandemic as
it affected many people all over the world. The outbreak of the disease has been depicted from the
rise, vaccination and the prevention methods of a new disease. The origin of the disease has been
described at the end of the movie where we find out that a bat with a virus known as paramyxovirus
that infects a pig. The pigs that are for human consumption were located near a forest that was being
cut down. The pig in turn infects human beings of the earth through a chef. The agent which is very
infectious is known as MEV–1 and its potential spread is estimated at 6–7 which suggests that the
virus is highly transmissible from one person to the next. The virus has been compared to that of a
smallpox virus with a mortality rate of up to 30%. The chef later met a customer, Elizabeth Emhoff
and he had not washed his hands after handling the pigs. They shook hands and even took a picture
together and later, Elizabeth developed flu–like symptoms which led to her death four days later.

Analytical Review Of Jaws
The shark theme appeared for the first time on the film during the opening credits, with the camera
view under the sea symbolizing the view of the shark when it swims underwater. The theme has
couple music arrangements played by different instruments which are bass, celli, trombone and tuba.
Part of the music seems be played by alternating two notes. Apart from that, the music is also played
in high register and has a menacing tone. Part of the music is in slow tempo, part of it has fast
tempo.
The slow tempo part of the theme is signifying the behavior of the shark that comes to its victim
quietly and cautiously without the acknowledgement of the victim. Meanwhile, the fast tempo part
of the theme symbolizes the moment when the shark attacks

'Analytical Review Of Ghostbusters'
"Ghostbusters" is the story of four women who gave up their jobs to hunt ghosts around New York
City. These team of underdogs will win everybody's heart, and not only that. This is a great movie to
watch if you want to forget about your problems and just laugh, and the Guardian review about it
fully supports the idea. However, the NPR review about the movie does not entirely agree with this
idea.

Analysis Of The Movie ' The Help ' Essay
The film "The Help" (2011), is a story based on the daily lives of prominent white women and the
relationships with their African–American housemaids in Jackson, Mississippi, during the 1960s
Civil Rights movement in America. A well–to–do white woman and central character in this film,
Eugenia "Skeeter" Phelan, aspires to be a journalist and decides to write and publish an exposé of
the stories of the housemaids in Jackson to achieve this goal, however, only two maids, Aibileen
Clark and Minny Jackson are willing to discuss their experiences with her. The other maid's in
Jackson resist telling Skeeter their stories, fearing the punishments they would endure if the
authorities were to find out. In spite of this, after the malicious arrest of one of their befriended
maids, all of the maids begin to share their experiences, which consist of racial hostility and being
treated as intrinsically subservient to white people
. The story Skeeter publishes entitled The Help,
creates a disturbance among the white families in Jackson, by exposing the racism the maids are
faced with, forcing the white families to reflect upon how they have treated their maids. The
storyline represented in The Help exhibits examples of the primordial approach to race and ethnicity,
as well as numerous sociological concepts including segregation, internalized oppression, and white
privilege, which will be exemplified in this paper in order to uncover the race relations evident
within this film.

The Five Stages Of Analytical Competition Essay
As I mentioned above, the company has two different areas that can be looked at when determining
the five stages of analytical competition and I also believe that each area is at two different stages.
With respect to our clients, I believe that NextGen products can be categorized at Stage 5 –
Analytical Competitors with an understanding that the company will need to continue to improve
and allow our customers to grow with each new release of our product. In other words, I am saying
that we can categorize the products at stage 5 but I don't feel NextGen is "done" with respect to the
product analytics. If NextGen doesn't continue to evolve and grow our analytics in our products, we
will not be able to stay at that stage and allow our clients to have the competitive edge. Our products
provide our clients (hospitals and practices) with several layers of reporting to determine patient
care, patient services, patient billing and patient tracking. NextGen recognizes that the clients need
to constantly review their data to provide better patient care at lower costs for both the
practice/hospital and the patient. As is indicated by our website, NextGen Healthcare provides our
clients with Ambulatory solutions, Revenue Cycle Management and Shared data services 1.
NextGen openly boasts about our Analytics Solution to provide our clients the data they need to
"mange risks, enhance patient outcomes and improve overall decision making."2 For NextGen as a

Analysis Of The Musical ' Hamilton '
Hamilton Essay The musical "Hamilton" is the most sought after musical in years. It is the first seen
rap musical and it has received the most 'Tony' awards and nominations in Broadway history.
Hamilton premiered off Broadway in 2015 and soon moved to Broadway to stun the world with it's
incredible everything, from plot to casting. For best albums, Hamilton was second ranked in
Billboard magazine and has got endless supply of recognition for the ingenious play written by the
phenomenal Lin Manual Miranda. Hamilton is currently the most popular sensation on Broadway
because of the music with its creative lyrics and hidden messages, it's stellar performance and the
perspectives it gives us on the people that founded our county. (on the people that shaped our past
and developed our future).
To begin with, Hamilton is popular because of its music. Hamilton is the first seen rap musical in
Broadway history. The musical combines the most popular genre of music in the current century
with a Broadway style to portray the life of Alexander Hamilton in a series of songs. Most people
adore the musical because the songs can connect to people in a way where they can listen to all of
the songs on replay and still not get tired of them. They are songs that pull their audience in and
keep them hooked, which is a huge factor in why thousands of people adore this musical. It all
started at an airport when Lin–Manuel Miranda read, 'Alexander Hamilton' for the first time by Ron
Chernow. From

Analysis Of The Film ' Ratatouille '
Another part of the film that is also very Disney and very Pixar is the visual feast that the eyes enjoy
while watching. Robertson says, "Pixar has created something unique. The light. The colors. The
textures. Ratatouille is not a film with brightly colored toys, fish, bugs, or cars", which would allow
it to perhaps be the most Disney of the films on which Disney and Pixar have created together
(Robertson, 20). Yet, even without those interesting aspects, Ratatouille is very visually appealing,
like a dish one eats first with one's eyes. Robertson quotes Michael Fong the supervising technical
director at Pixar who says, "We tried to make this film look different...One of the big things was to
break away from what standard CG [computer graphics] looks like. We got rid of straight lines and
did a lot of hand tweaking. We wanted it to feel handmade. The other part is lighting and shading"
(Robertson, 21). From that special attention, like a chef gives his signature dish, the team that
collaborated to make Ratatouille created a delicious result. The parallelism between the making of
the film and the making of a wonderful dish is not all the elements that make Ratatouille such a
brilliant film. The fact that it was inspired by the food craze that was very big around 2007 when the
film was made, did not hurt. One could not turn on the television without seeing some chef creating
something wonderful and in doing so, showing viewers that they could cook too. The interest that

Analysis Of The Movie ' Aladdin '
Whole New World Crossing social class was highly looked down upon for centuries, but had
become accepted by society when social mobility had expanded. To this day, however, it is still
unacceptable within some families or groups. A man by the name of Walt Disney believed love
could be conquered no matter what the odds were. Disney's famous concept of crossing social
classes to find true love, is used in almost every Disney film. A major motion film, Aladdin, serves
as a perfect example of the famous concept. Not only was this movie based on the crossing of the
rich and poor, but it also went as far as emphasizing the status of the royalty lifestyle, versus the
peasant lifestyle. For those who are not familiar with Disney's, Aladdin, the movie features a
princess, Jasmine, and a "street rat, Aladdin. The two characters meet in the town's marketplace and
they create an overfriendly bond. Aladdin is later captured by the villain, Jafar, who convinces
Jasmine that her new acquaintance is dead. Under Jafar's capture, Aladdin is lead to the "Cave of
Wonders", where he discovers a genie in a lamp. He breaks free from Jafar's capture and befriends
the genie. After each other's introduction, the genie grants three wishes to Aladdin. Since the genie
cannot make people fall in love, Aladdin manipulates around his restriction and requests to be made
into a prince in order to gain the princess's love. With the help of the genie, Jasmine sees Aladdin as
a prince, but suspects something

Macbeth Analytical Essay
In an effort to achieve, it is often in literature that the protagonist learns to accept his or her currently
fortuitous circumstances and rather than ambitiously seek what he or she wants, the protagonist
acquires what they need. This is a way in which an author can teach a moral lesson about the ill fate
of those bridled by ambition, hubris, greed, etc., without being overtly sententious. Shakespeare,
whether by intention or coincidence, wrote in a similar sense in regards to some of his most famous
and renowned tragedies. Often his works reflect a sense of morality, though rather than the
protagonists realizing the mistakes, their flaws become fatal and only after their actions take their
grievous course do they acknowledge their misjudgements.
...show more content...
Hamlet, one of Shakespeare's most beloved protagonists, shares character traits with well crafted
villains. Though he is supposed to be a tragic hero
, he wittingly and cruelly hurts the people close to
him in his despair and thirst for revenge. Towards the end of the play he claims he loved Ophelia
more than her own brother did, a brother who did not play with her emotions and use her for his
own gain and bloody goals. Even if Hamlet did truly love Ophelia, he manipulated and viciously
abused her feelings, trust, and confidence, something one would find in a power–imbalanced
relationship where one is a villain and the other a victim. His downfall, though, is his play at
madness. He chooses to donne a facade of insanity in order to take revenge for his father's sake, but
meanwhile compromises his authority and ability to be taken seriously. Had he rather been subtle
and not abrasively distance himself from every potential ally, perhaps he would not have met such a
gruesome end. His own actions and selfish willingness to do anything to satisfy his own lust for
revenge was the direct cause of his death. His brash murder of Polonius, his alienation of Ophelia,
his disturbing confrontation and aggression towards his mother all lead to his death and the death of
other innocent people. Again, Shakespeare has

Beetlejuice Analytical Review
In the movie Beetlejuice, the theme is that the afterlife is not really the end for us all; we live on a
multiple level world between life and death, and need to respect the dead. The theme is idealistic
and not applicable in real life to all people. Throughout the movie, Burton reveals his take on the
living and life after death and the delicate interaction between the two. The character Otho, played
by Glenn Shadix is key to Burton's interpretation and scrutiny of the afterlife. Throughout the film
Otho makes comments about the dead and even goes as far to steal The Handbook for the Recently
Deceased. Otho comments on those who commit suicide and how they become civil servant s in the
afterlife. Barbra and Adam Maitland, played by Geena
...show more content...
Adam swerves the steering wheel while over a bridge to avoid hitting a dog, and as a result the car is
teetering over the edge of the bridge towards the river; the only thing keeping Adam and Barbra
from their tragic death is a dog who's weight on a single plank is sustaining the balance of the car.
Oddly enough, the dog they saved was the one who sent them to their watery grave. It is uncommon
in movies to kill off the main characters early on in the film, but Burton did so in order to show the
audience the shift in the main characters circumstances. The Maitlands return home soaking wet,
without knowing that they are dead but know that something is off; Barbra informs Adam of her arm
feeling frozen, and the two go towards the fire to warm up where Barbra's hand catches fire. Adam
is in a frenzy and flees the dark and barley lit home and is sent into another dimension (Saturn)
where he encounters the giant vicious sandworms and is brought back to "reality" with the help of
his wife. The stop motion special effects for creatures like the Sandworms look like they were
jumping towards the audience, without the need of 3D glasses. The Maitlands find the Handbook for
the Recently Deceased and comically comment that it reads like stereo instructions. Adam and
Barbra find a filler in the handbook for a bio–exorcist named Betelguese who specializes in the
removal of human intruders. This is the first time we are introduced to
