What would be the best examples from the play to use for an appearance vs. reality essay?

I've been doing some research, and it seems that the best to go with is using 4 main characters (Rosencrantz, Guildenstern, Claudius, Polonius) as examples.

However, they way I thought of the question, I thought that I could use the ghost to support the theme: guards and Hamlet see the ghost but only Hamlet can communicate with it; ghost shows up in Gertrude's room but she can't see the ghost while Hamlet sees and speaks to it

Which do you think would be the safer topic to go with??

Just to point out- I don't share those views- this is more of an academic kind of question- to stimulate thought and discussion.
Yes- Nazis were bad and Hitler was Satan.

I am referring to the concept of National Socialism- without the supposed white supremacy, racism, anti-Semitism & Nordic myth encumbrances.

What are your thoughts? Has it any value as a political concept?

The poem "grandfather says" by Ai

http://www.poets.org/viewmedia.php/prmMI...

-Discuss the relationship between the Visual, Auditory, and Thematic elements.

- the poet uses visual elements of the text, such as enjambment, stanzas or verse-paragraphs, formal lines or informal ones, etc. Why? How does that relate to the experience of reading the poem.

- the poet uses meter and rhyme to establish a varied cadence and pattern of sound. What sort of emphases or direction does that create?

- the themes, images, metaphors, and conceits (extended metaphors) conjure ideas, emotions, and concepts. To what end? And how has the poet used the visual and auditory elements to build on the thematic ones?

*****

Christmas morning’s magic
Ribbons and bows with socks full of toys
Bring the joys of wishes come true
To many anxious girls and boys

Mountains of ripped apart paper
And bountiful times hide the family flaws
Then the last little box brings a smile
To the woman whose plays Mrs. Claus

As I lean back in my comfortable chair
I’ll wear my new tie and try on the gloves
Laugh and sing to the angel with wings
On a tree decorated with love

*****

My family made a family tree on Ancestry.com using that One World Tree and it says that one of my distant grandparents from the 1500s or 1600s was born in Jamaica when their family moved there from Great Britain. Could this be true? Are the records fake? Is this an okay thing to say as how my family got here?

I'm basically trying to fade lots of pictures together into one collage for a DVD case. I'm using the layer mask technique to fade them together but i don't know how to fade it in more than one direction? I.E i want the picture to fade out at the bottom, top and sides so there are no harsh lines and its just a sorta fadey circle (i know this makes no sense! :P)

Any help?

I'm reading the last book of a series and felt a twinge of sadness when one of the characters died. I know it's silly but it was almost like losing a friend whom I've know for a number of years (nearly 20 to be exact). Anyway, if you think I am mental at least be kind about saying it if you don't mind, I would appreciate that.

Silent tears fall like rain
Trying to cover up the pain
His effort all in vain
People starting to see his pain
He hides his face in shame
Abolished in the rain

Sikhism...
On the list, major religion number five;
Sanskrit teachings keeping thought alive!
I read your texts, and my mind just thrives!
Meditational aesthetics, I call my practice...
I'm multi-religious and I truly act it.
Who can call it odd;
calling the Universe
"God"?
I like the expression of unique experiences
and the fact of the lack of adherences.
