.... arrival, there is a good possibility that Renoir is foreshadowing Andre’s death. The scene begins as Christine and Madame La Bruyere enter the foyer, talking about children’s sore throats. The two halt as they see the arriving aviator, and Christine’s clenched hands and rigid, immobile posture make notable expression of the tension she feels regarding their forthcoming meeting. Rather than cutting, the stationary camera tracks ninety degrees until it is behind the two women. The continuous camera movement reveals the object of her attention and smoothly integrates the two in .....

.... to a “vile race”3. In Act II, Stephano describes him as being “on four legs”4. Trinculo curses at Caliban wishing he would get a disease only cattle can contract. These statements and comparisons seek to reemphasize Caliban’s bestiality. Stephano even refers to Caliban as a monster who could make a man a fortune if taken to star in the freak shows of England. Caliban can be interpreted as the representation for the colored, “uncivilized” people of the world. Civilization, here, refers to technological, cultural, and knowledge advancement of a society. As the indigenous .....

.... seemed to be a person who accepted him for who he was in a society where homosexuals are discriminated against. What Blanche said completely devastated Allan and he found no reason to continue living. Although Blanche had no intentions of hurting Allan, enough damage was done to prompt Allan to shoot himself, his mind and body destroyed. The harsh treatment dealt by Mitch to Blanche near the end of the play is strikingly similar to Blanche's treatment of Allan Gray. Mitch is a friend of Stanley's whom Blanche falls for during her visit to New Orleans. The relationship .....

.... television programming, it is still the parents' job to monitor what children watch. With the wide range of programming available, if a child watches television without any supervision, it is very likely that he/she will view a program that is unsuitable for their age. While television can be a negative force, it can also be very positive if used correctly. There are many programs on television today that are both educational and entertaining. There is quality programming on television already but many people choose not to explore it. Since we live in such a diverse count .....

.... the action, and causes almost all the of the important aspects of the play. The confusion that Sebastian creates when he returns would not occur without Viola's disguise. Sir Andrew believes that the woman of his desires, Olivia, is spending too much time with Cesario, and challenges him to a duel. As he put it, Olivia was doing “more favors to the Count's servingman than ever she bestowed upon me.” (3-2 l.5-7) At first, Viola is nearly forced into a battle, but is saved when the confused Antonio arrives. Later on, Sebastian and Andrew do get involved in a scuffle, for which .....

.... the impression of an image after it has been withdrawn from view. The critical flicker frequency is the minimum rate of interruption of the projected light beam that will not cause the motion picture to appear to flicker. A frequency above about 48 interruptions a second will eliminate flicker. Camera Like a still camera (see CAMERA), a movie camera shoots each picture individually. The movie camera, however, must also move the film precisely and control the shutter, keeping the amount of light reaching the film nearly constant from frame to frame. The shutter of a movie .....

.... all the other characters in the story realize that Oedipus actually did murder Laius and that Jocasta is indeed his mother as well as his wife. This occurs rather quickly, very close to the end of the play. The audience sees this coming long before it actually does, however. In one of the passages of Oedipus speaking with Jocasta, just about everything is spelled out for us. Jocasta speaks of Laius leaving the castle with just a few servants and his being killed where three roads meet. Oedipus claims that he killed somebody where three roads met, who had a few servants with .....

.... when they finally plummeted back down to the lower calf. It may surprise you to learn that in the 1920's, a lot of clothing was still made at home or by tailors and dressmakers. The brand-name, ready-to-wear industry didn't really exist until the 1930's. Therefore, many women obtained patterns that would allow them to create their own clothing out of fabrics such as wool, silk, linen or cotton. There were also two important ethnic influences on the fabric and prints of the 1920s. One of those influences was Chinese, whose culture inspired several kimono styles, embroidered s .....
