English Othello Essay
A lack of identity and connections to family and society creates barriers that restrict an individual’s true sense of belonging. Barriers can consist of an inability to be accepted for who and what you are or where a society can deny you an ability to develop a sense of self. Both the play "Othello" by William Shakespeare (1603) and the film "The Giver" directed by Phillip Noyce (2014), explore the concept of belonging through the connections individuals create with society and its importance in establishing meaningful relationships.

Romeo and Juliet Argumentative Essay Decter, Michaela

Period 5
The story of “Romeo and Juliet” has been extolled as a perfect, timeless,
romance. However, underneath its shakespearian glamor, it is a story of two, very
young children, who were both neglected by their families, until they both ended up
taking their own lives. Romeo and Juliet should not be a couple, young teens aspire to.
In the end this is a tragedy, not a love story made to last through the ages.
