Literature usually portrays characters as having an internal conflict. The same applies to real life people. How does Pete Rose's character flaw turn into a tragic flaw?

Which would best describe who you are? A color, an object, a symbol, a certain type of food. Why?

I Identify most/best with a colorful symbol. A pink peace sign. Why? Because pink is a symbol of passion, a certain love has for one thing, and I do like to have peace in my life every once in a while. Your turn!

I know from 1880-1924 there was increased immigration from eastern and southern European countries, mainly Poland and Italy. Also, I know this created a surge in "nativism" and conservatism at home. Any help for 1965-2000 is appreciated!

Pat Conroy and Irwin Shaw are my two favorite authors and many others similar them. I want to write in their genre but can't pinpoint which one they write in. Does anyone know what their genre is? Thanks.

But literature enthusiasts slam me for saying that, allow me to explain my view...

- This is 2007, he wrote his works over 500 years ago, and I feel like i'm the only person who finds his texts predictable and grim. Admittedly, its the principle that counts, but the presentation of his ideas isn't entertainment. Maybe back when it was written, but not anymore! So why is it on the exam board????

- Going back to the curriculum, teachers/tutors consistently defend his work, even when students point ideas that are fairly plausable that suggest he never thought something through. One such example in King Lear - characters just deciding to leave the play? Anomolously? Shakespeare for all we know could have thought "oh who cares, can't think of any reason to keep him, so the fool can dissapear" yet people defend this is suggest 'their was a reason'..

-... which makes me wonder, how can these people believe he does no wrong?? No-bodys perfect, and he certainly wasn't.

Anyways.....

Why do some old texts use f instead of s, and why do they only use f some of the time?

I think it lookf very odd to write things with an f thrown in, feemingly at random, efpecially in such important documents as the Conftitution. It makes it sound af though the Founding Fathers had a lifp.

I need one more example in Othello where a character in despair commits an extreme act. The examples I already have are:

1. After having killed Desdemona, Othello commits suicide.

2. Realizing that his plan has been found out, Iago kills Emilia to make a get-away.

It was many and many a year ago,
In a kingdom by the sea,
That a maiden there lived whom you may know
By the name of ANNABEL LEE;
And this maiden she lived with no other thought
Than to love and be loved by me.

I was a child and she was a child,
In this kingdom by the sea;
But we loved with a love that was more than love-
I and my Annabel Lee;
With a love that the winged seraphs of heaven
Coveted her and me.

And this was the reason that, long ago,
In this kingdom by the sea,
A wind blew out of a cloud, chilling
My beautiful Annabel Lee;
So that her highborn kinsman came
And bore her away from me,
To shut her up in a sepulchre
In this kingdom by the sea.

The angels, not half so happy in heaven,
Went envying her and me-
Yes!- that was the reason (as all men know,
In this kingdom by the sea)
That the wind came out of the cloud by night,
Chilling and killing my Annabel Lee.

But our love it was stronger by far than the love
Of those who were older than we-
Of many far wiser than we-
And neither the angels in heaven above,
Nor the demons down under the sea,
Can ever dissever my soul from the soul
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee.

For the moon never beams without bringing me dreams
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;
And the stars never rise but I feel the bright eyes
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;
And so, all the night-tide, I lie down by the side
Of my darling- my darling- my life and my bride,
In the sepulchre there by the sea,
In her tomb by the sounding sea.
