...adopted by the leader, General Romeo Dallaire and the UN and its member states. It highlights the challenges Dallaire had faced in maintaining a peace process and the inaction of the UN to prevent the genocide. It will focus on the types of decision making processes; sporadic decision, fluid decision and constricted decision. In addition the models of decision making; rational, bureaucratic, garbage can and political will be discussed. The review will also look into the geo-political relations. Dallaire’s assessment was to make a decision whether the UN should commit in sending a full-fledged peacekeeping force to Rwanda. Dallaire required a long period of time to come out with his decision as it required him to do a fact finding mission. Cray, David ; Mallory, Geoffrey R. ; Butler, Richard J. ; Hickson, David J. ; Wilson, David C. (1998) indicated that there is a certain latitude in the way that the decision is made and this leads to these decisions taking more time. Rational decision was made where he had to consider the situation with careful evaluation. This decision was then sent to the UN to make final decision. It was a bureaucratic decision as final decision was to be made at the top level. However, Dallaire knew that the UN would not send force by September 10th. He had to suffer from time delay waiting for decision to be made. This shows an unitary approach of decision making as a general agreement had to be made by the UN. Dallaire planned to create a supportive...

...In Romeo Dallaire’s essay “Cri de Coeur” we hear the story of a man amidst a country divided by war, and although the topic is heavy and blunt Dallaire implicates great compositional strategies to make the piece powerful, reflective and artistic. He displays his craftsmanship through uses of characterization, specific and tangible details and balance between narration and action. “Cri de Coeur “exhibits instances of strong characterization, especially for the narrator. Rather than being the caricature of a hardened soldier, Romeo Dallaire as a character becomes much more real and three dimensional through his encounter with the young boy in the village. This is a perfect example of a layered character. In the moment when Dallaire is holding the child we see a much different side to the strict general that is not seen in simple, flat characters. We see Dallaire’s heart melt for the young boy and travel through his thoughts as he considers contradicting rules of war that...

...and the poem have a strong sense of sorrow, Romeo’s sorrow is created by the use of dramatic irony throughout his last speech, whilst ‘After a Journey’ contains a lot of contrasting imagery of Emma when she was alive and then later as a ghost. In Act 5 scene 3, Romeo has just found Juliet in the tomb following her funeral. Romeo is struck by the way Juliet's beauty appears to defy death she still looks alive to him, "Why art thou yet so fair? Shall I believe That unsubstantial Death is so amorous?" These rhetorical questions create a sense of sorrow for Romeo as he appears to believe that her beauty preserves her from dying. The dramatic tension is emphasised by the reader’s awareness that Romeo is seeing the physical signs of Juliet's recovery from her sleep. Secondly, Shakespeare uses dramatic irony to create a feeling of horror and despair. For example ‘Come, bitter conduct, come, unsavoury guide. Thou desperate pilot, now at once run on The dashing rocks thy seasick, weary bark. Here’s to my love!’ The reader is aware that Juliet is not dead and can only watch with horror when Romeo is drinking the poison. ‘The dashing rocks thy seasick, weary bark’ foreshadows Romeo’s death, as in Act 1 Scene 1 Romeo also mentions a boat knowing that this boat will not be guided well by God if he went to the Capulet’s party. Now, his bark has been destroyed into pieces as God has guided him into ‘the dashing rocks’ meaning that his life is now left in shatters and will come to...

...HATRED AND VIOLENCE BREED ONLY TRAGGEDY Romeo and Juliet is a tragic play written by William Shakespeare. “Hatred and violence breed only tragedy”, is a major theme in this play. The Montague and Capulet are two rival families. They were involved in a family feud that goes back years before anyone can remember. However, the grudge still continues, due to the fact that both families are not ready to forgive and forget the past. The families’ ongoing quarrels and feud, lead to the deaths of several characters including the star-crossed lovers, Romeo and Juliet. The characters who died first in Romeo and Juliet are Mercutio and Tybalt. They were associated in each other’s deaths. Tybalt, hot-tempered cousin of Juliet, vowed to get revenge on Romeo for sneaking in to the Capulet Ball without an invitation. The day Tybalt came seeking for Romeo, is the day he was wedded to young Juliet. Romeo wants to keep peace between him and his new relative but Tybalt keeps tantalizing him with rude insults and remarks. Romeo, not wanting to pick a fight, retrieves and soon Mercutio jumps in because he wants to defend his best friend. Tybalt and Mercutio challenge each other to a sword fight. Romeo tries to stop them because he does not want his best friend or his relative to get hurt so he intervenes. At that moment, Tybalt stabbed Mercutio “under Romeo’s arm”. In anger and guilt, Romeo retaliates and catches Tybalt, and because of his impulsiveness, Romeo kills Tybalt. Mercutio's death resulted...

...4 October 2012 The Symbol of a Mask in Romeo and Juliet As we read on into Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, we are beginning to analyze the play in greater detail. The symbolization of the mask is important- It reveals the feelings of Romeo and how their love flourishes. The use of symbolization in Shakespeare’s plays is repeating and it helps the reader, or audience take in the story with much more meaning The very night Romeo and Juliet meet marks the introduction of the mask as a symbol in the play. Romeo attends a feast at the Capulet’s but- as a Montague, Romeo would not be welcomed into their home. Fortunately, every guest is required to wear a mask! Romeo uses his mask to gain entry into the masquerade. In act 1, scene 1, Romeo speaks about how beautiful woman hide themselves behind masks and are not what they seem to be. When they first meet, their identities are concealed behind their masks, and they do not find out they are foes until the night ends. While I was creating my mask, the more I completed, the more I began to reflect myself into it creatively. I made my mask clear and simple, with dark colours and hints of personal detail that shows who I am. I love simplicity and clean, interesting detail. I showed that in the solid black lines extending from the eyes, and the small white doily I put on top. I knew I wasn’t going to do anything avant garde and busy. It doesn’t correspond with who I am. The meaning of my mask is less is more ...

...One distinct difference between Winston and Julia, and Romeo and Juliet, is how they met and fell in love. Winston met Julia at his work and from the first time he saw her, he hated her. Winston even wanted to kill her once, because he believed she was a spy from the Thought Police. His anger quickly changed to love when she secretly handed him a note containing the message, "I love you." Upon receiving this note Winston became obsessed with Julia, constantly trying to find ways to meet with her and worrying that she would lose interest in him. After much careful planning, Winston and Julia were able to meet, yet only talked for less than a minute and in a very business like manner. Eventually they found ways to meet a couple times a week for a few hours each time. Romeo and Juliet, on the other hand, met at a party. Romeo was looking at the fish in an aquarium when he spotted Juliet on the other side. He was stunned by her amazing beauty and could not take his eyes of her. She eventually saw him through the aquarium and was very attracted to him. They both fell in love at first sight and were married soon after. One similarity both these couples share is that their love is forbidden. Winston was a married man, and even though he does not live with his wife, the Party would kill both Winston and Julia if they found out abut their love for one other. And even if Winston wasn't married, love and marriage is frowned upon by the Party, but is allowed in order for there to be...

...Romeo and Juliet: The Movie I believe that this play/movie is based off of a conflict theory. The reason I say this is because both families here are trying to gain power and also trying to be the dominant family. As I go into detail on this movie it will explain the conflict theory. William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet is fully summarized in Shakespeare's prologue: "Two households, both alike in dignity, in fair Verona where we lay our scene. From ancient grudge break to new mutiny where civil blood make civil hands unclean. From forth the fatal loins of these two foes, a pair of star crossed lovers who take their life" (Universal, 1996). This movie is a masterful culmination of the director's phenomenal ability to create a powerful introduction, to select a realistic, but surreal setting, to choose realistic actors, and to enact specialized dramatic effects. Sitting in the theater, watching this movie for the first time, I heard static break in to interrupt the beginning credits. A newscaster, sounding serious, came on the screen in a special report. I sat up to pay attention. She was reporting a tragedy that had recently happened in some place called Verona. I was pulled in thinking it to be a true special report. Ah-hah!! It was a trick. A trick to get people to do just what I did. Trained are we to listen to newscasts, our life-line in present day society, where we receive a lot of our information. A trick, and...

...When Romeo for the first time sets his eyes on Juliet he uses light imagery to express his feelings ‘arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon’. For Romeo, Juliet is the sun who has brought brightness into his life. This beautifully romantic imagery highlights the purity of Romeo’s feelings and underscores to the reader the powerful force of love that Romeo is now entangled in. Moreover, Shakespeare uses religious imagery to underscore purity and strength of Romeo’s feelings. The protagonist refers to Juliet as a ‘bright angel’, who is ‘a winged messenger of heaven’ and as a ‘dear saint’. This religious imagery underscores the perfection of Romeo’s love to Juliet – just as angels and saints aregood and perfect, to Romeo, she is so too. Interestingly, in Act 2 Scene 2 Romeo’s syntax becomes more structured and less broken down by the constant repetition of ‘o’ – ‘the brightness of her cheek would shame those stars/As daylight doth a lamp; her eye in heaven/Would through the airy region stream so bright’. Through change in syntax, Shakespeare signals to the reader Romeo’s changed attitude to love –he is no longer bewildered, but he is ascertained in his strong and passionate feeling to Juliet.Finally, Romeo’s blind love towards Juliet is underscored by the use of dramatic irony in Act 2 Scene 2, adding suspense and tension to the play. Romeo says, ‘henceforth I never will be Romeo’, ‘my name dear saint is hateful to myself because it is an enemy to thee’. Through this, Romeo denies...

...Summary: In listening to Louis Armstrong’s “ Satch Plays Fats” album you get a smooth, bourbon street vibe. You get the vibe as if you were in New Orleans at a jazz concert or parade. Armstrong has a very deep voice which is very noticeable in every song. I noticed the instruments played more than he did, which tells me he enjoyed playing his instruments more than singing. He blends his voice very well with his trumpet, the whole album gives off a laid back vibe to relax to. The album “ Satch Plays Fats” was dedicated to “Fats” Waller, and the two artist had many similarities. They both are very entertaining when it comes to there music ,and both are African Americans who sing from there soul. Evaluation: In listening to the smooth, trumpet sounds of Louis Armstrong it made me understand the strong meaning behind his music. Just through his lyrics I could feel the pain and struggle in his music of what he was going through in the song “ Black and Blue”. After listening to his CD, I realized how others could possibly start to like his music, it can touch you in a certain way. Overall I did actually like the album, in the beginning I never would have gave jazz a listen or even thought about actually liking some of the music from it. After taking the time to review and listen to Armstrong’s music I found a new interest. What I would like to know is how did he come up with his powerful lyrics, I would like to know if he was in the moment when he wrote his lyrics. They’re...

...Analysis of the Function of Speed in Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. Romeo and Juliet is an avalanche. As a loose pebble in the snowcapped mountain wobbles in the wind, Romeo yodels to Juliet in the cliffs just to send it tumbling, lightly, down a vertical abyss. It does not end there, of course, for this pebble held back the rocks and boulders constituting the height of the peak, and the reaction now begins as each individual stone rolls with momentum. They pick up speed and snow, growing in velocity and size until the inevitable occurs and Romeo and Juliet are engulfed in the upheaval and finished forever. William Shakespeare’s version of the play Romeo and Juliet, taken from Arthur Brooke’s play similarly titled Romeus and Juliet, is a fast paced tragedy in which a boy and girl from two feuding families meet, fall in love, bond in matrimony, and commit suicide in a matter of four days. Compared to the nine-month romance that takes place in Brooke’s play, Shakespeare’s version is a consciously hastened piece of work during which the most significant parts of a young couple’s lives begin and end in less than one week. Speed, a well-utilized literary tool in Shakespeare’s play, serves to emphasize emotion, as opposed to reason, in the characters’ decisions. Through this device, Shakespeare demonstrates his skills as a playwright by showing control of time in the play. Perhaps the most well known episode in Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, the balcony scene is a prime example...

...Reaction Paper *Discuss or analyze the theatrical aspect. The play performed by the PHILMARTS was entitled “Romeo and Juliet”. It was not really that good. I may sound rude, but I am just being honest. Especially because of it’s failed costumes and acts. I am seated on the first line at the front, that’s why I have seen most of their mistakes. One of those is their costumes. Some of their costumes look like rushed when chosen. Some are like shoe covers, and doesn’t match their outfits. And the women’s dresses are inappropriate, and don’t match with those of the guys’ outfits. They look like they are from different time: the women are from the present, and the guys are from the past. It is because of the designs of their dresses, which doesn’t match with each other. Their dubbing was also bad because they don’t have right timing with the voice. It is also disappointing to know that there are many important scenes that are not included in the play. They just focused on the romantic scenes of Romeo and Juliet. They did that maybe because they think that such scenes are the ones that the students are waiting for. Especially because we are 4th year students, and maybe they also think that those are the only scenes that can make us shout, or excited. But they are wrong, because not all students are easily aroused by those kinds of scenes. And with their actions, it makes it look like they are seeing themselves as really good-looking people. ...

...Summer Nunamker Mrs. Henry English 11.4 20 April 2012 Love Through Hardship Love through hardship is a reoccurring theme seen in many different types of art, whether it’s a movie or a painting. Love through hardship is even seen in everyday life. Tim McGraw’s poem “Don’t Take the Girl” is a prime example of love through hardship. For example, “Stranger came and pulled a gun, grabbed her by the arm said “If you do what I tell you to, there won't be any harm,” and Johnny said "Take my money, take my wallet, take my credit cards here's the watch that my grandpa gave me, here's the key to my car, mister give it a whirl, but please don't take the girl” (McGraw 1) This song shows that even through adversity love prospers and defeats tribulation. Furthermore, when a man or woman says something like this for their significant other it shows how much they love and care for them. Another example is when Time McGraw says, “Doctor says the baby's fine, but you'll have to leave 'cause his momma's fading fast, and Johnny hit his knees and there he prayed, take the very breath you gave me, take the heart from my chest, I'll gladly take her place if you'll let me, make this my last request, take me out of this world, God, please don't take the girl” (McGraw 1). Love does not fade when things get rough. The man in the poem is willing to sacrifice his life for hers, and that proves that love flourishes through all travail. That’s why “Don’t Take the Girl” by Tim McGraw is a perfect example...

...Hallie Thompson Professor Birt English 200 2 May 2012 Stylistic Approach Among Readers and Writers. Authors use a certain stylistic approach when writing their piece of work. The use of style in literature helps readers understand how language can suggest moods, images, and meanings throughout the story. Without a stylistic approach readers would have to dig deeper and create their own thoughts and feelings throughout a story, without having any sense of significance. When authors create their specific approach they then must decide if it is appropriate for the audience. Does it deliver the theme and purpose behind writing this piece to the reader? Is the piece appropriate? The writer must answer all these questions before finishing his or her work. After reading many different types of work by various authors there has been two authors that have stuck out, William Blake and William Shakespeare. Each author is able to connect with his readers by creating a mood, theme, and allowing the reader to connect with some type of meaning. In spite of this, the way each particular author uses his certain stylistic approach is completely different and unique than the other one’s. Blake connects with his readers through personal experience and the supernatural. Shakespeare on the other hand, likes for his readers to change their viewpoint throughout his works. They may start out feeling, or imagining, on thing, and then completely change their thought process towards the end. Even...

...Bibliography for Romeo and Juliet · The student writing this Annotated Bibliography is doing their essay on the performance aspects of the play. Therefore their annotations will deal with how the material is useful in that area. The annotations in this example are not 150 words but yours MUST be. You would be expected to add such items as useful quotes, passages etc. that you could use in your essay as support for your thesis. Davis, Lloyd. “’Death-Marked Love’: Desire and Presence in Romeo and Juliet.” Shakespeare Survey 49 (1996): 57-67. Knowing that the love of Romeo and Juliet will end in tragedy from the onset of the play, it is how the events of the play lead to the tragedy that is the essence of the play. Davis explores the darkness and deceit connected with desire and love. Holmer, Joan Ozark. “’Draw if you be men’: Saviolo’s Significance in Romeo and Juliet.” Shakespeare Quarterly 45.2 (1994): 163-189. The fencing material in the play is probably derived from the fencing manual of Saviolo, Vincentio Saviolo his Practise. Salviolo’s ideal view that “condemns male quarrelsomeness as irrational when it pursues personal revenge rather than godly truth and justice” is a source for both tragic and comic elements in the play (189). Levin, Harry. “Form and Formality in Romeo and Juliet.” Shakespeare Quarterly 11.1 (1960): 3-11. Levin points to the unconventionality of the play. Such scenes include the eavesdropping of Romeo during Juliet’s...
