Robert Palmer Essays

Do you seriously don’t know what the heck has gotten into polices head. My issue what cops are selfishness, laziness, weak, and just not doing their job.

Many characters’ appearances in stories define them before they even speak. Similar to when people judge one another based on their clothing, the audience of a story makes assumptions about the characters by what they wear.

Famous American playwright Arthur Miller wrote a play entitled The Crucible in 1953, which reinserted the story of the Salem witch trials back into the American consciousness. At first glance, the Salem witch trials may seem a strange subject for a play, but delving deeper into the political climate of the 1950s, it does not seem strange at all.

I remember walking down my elementary school’s hallway, looking at the fifth grader’s projects, hanging on the wall all beautiful in cursive writing. It looked nice but even in third grade I was dreading having to write that much in cursive. I was wondering if I could run away and live in the woods, you didn’t need to write anything in the woods. Thankfully I did not need to run away because just two short years later cursive was already obsolete, little did I know what a travesty this was. Children
