~ Shakespeare is timeless for one reason only: No matter what generation reads his plays and poems, he is always challenging. Challenging the reader is the essence of literature and challenging the audience is the essence of drama. Shakespeare accomplishes both.
If you are like me, you may sometimes read Shakespeare and be annoyed that he is difficult to read. But that is what makes him great. When you understand the beauty of his craft, you are truly being challenged as a reader and becoming a better reader. Too many of today's popular authors are not challenging: They are fun and exciting, but ask yourself, When was the last time you read a popular novel that was fun but also challenging?

If I were a Japanese American, I might have the following reactions:
The memories of internment still make me sad and angry. But I am happy that the president himself has admitted "that serious injustices were done to Japanese Americans during World War II." The president’s apology is a sincere effort to heal the emotional scars of the Japanese American community.
The president’s apology doesn't undo the damage that was done. But the lines "We must learn from the past" and "we can guarantee a future with liberty and justice" give me hope that no other ethnic group will be targeted in that way again.

Therefore, Ben's actions could not be considered either an offense/assault or battery as he acted in Self-defense and not intentionally.
