Citizen Kane: Exposing the Truth about William Randolph Hearst Many have called Citizen Kane the greatest cinematic achievement of all time. It is indeed a true masterpiece of acting, screen writing, and directing.

However, when it came out, it was scorned

I think if you're at the least an English major or minor in college, as I was, you're bound to come across the poetry of Emily Dickinson in a class or two. Her work is profound and terribly moving, as words flow out in such a way that you can feel the depths of feeling stretching through a nervous system that may have only just been wracked by fits and that the questioning of what GOD is or what LIFE and DEATH are have no choice but to be sussed out.

In the 21th century we live our lives day to day seeing the next medicine breakthrough. It is easy for us to assume that’s how the history of medicine has always been.

that king claudius killed Hamlet's father and he does nothing about it, through a lack of action this is how he obtains his guilt. Evidently Dunny from Davies fifth business experiences the same type of guilt by dodging a snowball intended for him, but injuries Mrs Dempster instead.
