Television And It's Effects On Children
Number of Words: 696 / Number of Pages: 3
... see on t.v is what they are most likely to imitate.
Cartoons are even showing numerous acts of violence and most of this violence is
done by the "good guys". For example, Power Rangers; how do they get rid of the
bad guys? by fighting . During the whole episode you see the "Rangers" kicking,
punching and attacking the bad guys. Other shows like X-men, Sailor Moon,
Looney Tones, and even Care Bears show violence towards others. It's no wonder
children think it's okay to act this way when even their "Super Heroes" who are
supposed to be the good guys are hurting others. They see the good guys doing ...

Review Of Three Movies: Trainspotting, Ferris Bueller's Day Off And Jurassic Park
Number of Words: 900 / Number of Pages: 4
... It is very difficult to resist the film's
great energy.
"Trainspotting's" subject matter is raw and raunchy, including AIDS, overdoses
and violence as well as obscene situations described in unprintable language.
This is a film that makes you laugh of things that can in no way be described as
funny. How is this possible? In the film's signature scene, where Renton, in
search of some lost opium suppositories, dives head-first into "the filthiest
toilet in Scotland" and emerges in a sublime and spacious undersea world. And
despite Renton's celebrated saying on the pleasures of heroin, boasting, ...

"Casablanca:" A New Perspective
Number of Words: 517 / Number of Pages: 2
... 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 scene more personal. Curtiz uses a slight
variation of this type of camera placement when Capt. Renault and Rick are
having ...

Heroism In The Perfect Storm
Number of Words: 626 / Number of Pages: 3
... It seemed “to the best of their ability” meant do the job until they died trying. These men had undergone extensive training in their fields to prepare for such situations as the perfect storm presented them. The PJ’s had undergone a highly selective process that many Navy SEALS could not complete. And the pilots of the helicopters and jets showed tremendous skill as they navigated through the rough turbulence of the storm. These men were, indeed, the best of the best.
To be the best at what one does does not necessarily create a hero for the times. Peak physical shape and sharpness of mind ...

... makes a clear statement about his state when he commits himself to
revenge. In this statement the play makes an easy to follow shift. This

all pressures past, That youth and observation copied there, And thy
commandment all alone shall live Within the book and volume of my brain"
(1.5.99-103).

Hamlet: A Review
Number of Words: 403 / Number of Pages: 2
... aware that it is his task to clear things up,
he keeps on procrasti nating and has got many excuses for not acting.
The explanations are valid, and the only peculiar fact is that
Hamlet has got so many reasons for waiting - a different one each time.
Furthermore, it is characteristic in Hamlet that he only receives problems
when he at last seizes the sword. He is convinced that he has nailed his
villainous uncle Claudius, when he kills a person who is spying on him
while he is talking seriously to his mother. However, the "rat" behind the
tapestry is not the king himself, only his loyal he ...

Number of Words: 722 / Number of Pages: 3
... in man. His
opinion can be compared to the story of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by Robert Louis
Stevenson, where Dr. Jekyll is innately pure and kind but because he tries to
hide the malicious side of his being, it eventually overcomes him completely.
Shakespeare wishes to address the idea that evil can destroy a person and
overtake them if it is let in and uses his lines of Friar Laurence as an
aphorism and a warning to mankind.
The following lines from Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet fully portray
the author's view of a split of innocence and corruption in man, and the thought
that evil is likely and ab ...

... influence on the public.” (Hallin 106) So people trusted what
reporters like Walter Cronkite were telling them. They believed it when
NBC journalists told them things like, “ the Marines are so bogged down in
Hue that nobody will predict when the battle would end…more than 500
marines have been wounded and over 100 dead since the in Hue began.” (Klein
51) Don't get the wrong idea though, these things really happened but the
public didn't need to know it.
The constitution and 1st amendment still mean something but
national security should come first. People rioting all over the country

The Birth Of A Nation: The Pros And Cons
Number of Words: 2331 / Number of Pages: 9
... never made, it is quite possible that his name would have remained as known as Beethoven. The problem is that it is such an amazing movie on a technological and aesthetic level, but looking at Birth of a Nation in a moral sense, it is almost embarrassing to mention it. There are a handful of reasons for this, but first in order to get a proper perception, one must first learn a bit of history.
The Birth of a Nation is the first film to offer 2$ seats. Before then, the best seats in the house were a mere 50 cents. But the 2$ seat was "…for the more advantageous seat in the rear of the auditori ...
