The Shawshank Redemption
Number of pages: 6 | Number of words: 1414

.... of the prison). But in all reality, the prison was home for the inmates and they made it into what it was. The demeanor of the characters creates a very unique atmosphere. The story revolves around Andy who is convicted of murdering his wife and her lover in 1946 and is sentenced to life in prison. He is sent to the Shawshank prison, the state prison in Maine which is known for its harshness. At the beginning of the movie, one does not know if Andy committed the horrible crime of murder. But what is known is that he is not ready for prison and honestly doesn't seem like a .....


"Casablanca:" A New Perspective
Number of pages: 2 | Number of words: 517

.... to leave Casablanca. An employee of the cafe bring a check to a man seated at a chess table to sign. The signature reads, "OK. Rick." By using this shot, the director makes clear to the reader, without any dialogue, that the man signing the check is Rick. This technique, however, is just the first of many used by Curtiz. The point-of-view shot is used by director Michael Curtiz to place the audience directly into the action. By placing the camera at the exact location and height of the character, the viewer of the film is 'inserted' into the character's body, making the .....


Talk Shows And Their Effects On The Audience
Number of pages: 6 | Number of words: 1484

.... of The Jenny Jones show on March 6, 1995. Jonathan Schmitz, 26, agreed to appear on a secret admirers segment of The Jenny Jones talk show expecting his admirer to be a woman, not his gay neighbor. When Schmitz found Scott Amedure, a 32-year-old unemployed gay man, telling a television audience about a fantasy that involved Schmitz, some whipped cream, strawberries and champagne, he became embarrassed and, his lawyers said, enraged. Three days after the taping Schmitz received an anonymous, sexually suggestive note on his doorstep and assumed it came from Amedure. Schmitz p .....


Moliere's "The Imaginary Invalid"
Number of pages: 7 | Number of words: 1774

.... of illness and his death. In the text, there are very few elaborate descriptions of Dr. Purgon's treatment. However in the play by Panych, there is no shortage of enemas and other "bathroom" related scenes. I originally thought this change was for comical purposes, but after some additional thought I questioned whether Argan was imagining his illness or if he really was ill. In the text, by not having too many bathroom scenes, Argan seems to be imagining his illness (thus, he is the imaginary invalid). In Panych's stage version, Argan shows several symptoms of being ill; t .....


Time And Fate In Romeo And Juliet
Number of pages: 4 | Number of words: 911

.... permitted. Once at the ball, Romeo is searching for a maiden to substitute the unrequited love of Rosaline. Romeo happens to gaze upon Juliet, who charms Romeo. Romeo proclaims, " Did my heart love till now? Forswear it, sight!/ For ne'er saw true beauty till this night." (I, v, l 52-53) Since Romeo declares his love for Juliet, she feels the attraction also. They believe that they are in love and must marry. However, it is a genuine coincidence that Romeo and Juliet were at the same place, at the same time. Some days after the ball, Benvolio and Mercutio are convers .....


The Grapes Of Wrath
Number of pages: 4 | Number of words: 944

.... the individual family to show that the migrants are really people and to bring their plight home to the audience. The general story is told to show how it is affecting large numbers of people. Throughout the movie, we watch the Joads progress from a concern only for themselves and their own personal welfare to a concern for all the people in the world. This shift from individual thinking to wide spread thinking is most directly seen in the actions of Tom Joad. When we first see him at the beginning of the film he is mainly concerned for his own welfare. He wants to make up fo .....


National Geographic: Mysteries Underground
Number of pages: 3 | Number of words: 555

.... of years of forming. In some parts of caves there are giant and very smooth ice formations that must be slid down very carefully because if they are not taken cautiously you will pick up to much speed while sliding and finally hit some kind of stone wall or something. One lady was not careful enough and boy did she pay. She was only a mile and a half or so in the cave and she broke her leg. It took almost five days to get who to the surface of the cave where she could be attended to. Also I found out that caves were much larger then I had originally thought. The largest .....


A Street Car Named Desire: Theme Of Reality Vs. Illusion
Number of pages: 2 | Number of words: 301

.... to the point that it affects real life. An example is her decorations to Stella's apartment which creates a dim surrounding to help hide her true appearance. Unlike Stella, Blanche is afraid of her reality. She is afraid of getting old which is which she puts covers on the lamps to dim the lights. She's afraid of being alone, which was why she tried so hard to keep Mitch from finding out about her past. In conclusion, although Stella and Blanche were brought up in the same environment, they matured differently. Stella deals with her reality and doesn't try to cover it .....
