A Scene From Martin Scorcese's "Mean Streets"
Number of Words: 491 / Number of Pages: 2
... effective in helping the viewer to get acquainted with the criminal life.
Parts of Goodfellas and Mean Streets were in this style as was, to a more
obvious degree, the first half hour of Casino. Usually the narration plays
a large part in this style of filmmaking. The use of narration, in general,
is another one of Scorsese's styles.
In Mean Streets, there is a wonderfully lit and choreographed scene
that involves Harvey Keitel's character Charlie after he becomes
intoxicated at a party. He accomplished this using a wide angle lens and
unnatural bar room-style lighting with an overwhelmingly red tone ...

As You Like It: Grow Up, Oliver!
Number of Words: 744 / Number of Pages: 3
... Deep down I think that
Oliver has a decent heart and is aware that he should not let his envy get
the best of him. The reader may wonder why Oliver would be jealous of
Orlando. Orlando is popular and strong, and smart. Oliver is unhappy and
therefore cruel. In a monologue that Oliver addresses to the audience he
says, "Yet he's gentle, never / schooled and yet learned, full of noble
device, of all / sorts enchantingly beloved, and indeed so much in / the
heart of the world, and especially of my own / people, who best know him,
that I am altogether/ misprized" (1.2.163-8). After reading this q ...

Camelot: Merlin

... of Thomas Malory felt the extreme need to give France, his
country, a hero(s) in a time of great disappear. He felt it necessary to do this
because the feudalist time in which he was living in, was slowly dying. He
thought that if he could show people how many great hero(s) came out of this
time period it would revive and flourish once more. He then turned to history
to find such a hero. As needed to remedy the situation he found King Arthur of
Britain. Even though a English man or a Britainian, he was said to be the best
ruler to date (1500's.) Now that King Arthur has been chosen and changed a ...

"All I Know Is What I Read In The Papers" - Will Rogers
Number of Words: 1818 / Number of Pages: 7
... only available a few hours on one day".(2)
The main goal one hopes to achieve by advertising something is to make
it marketable so people will purchase it. Since what a politician hopes to
ultimately do is persuade people to vote for, or buy, their political platform,
they would be foolish to not take advantage of the captive and passive audience
of the advertising mass media. Unfortunately politicians and their management
take advantage of this medium to manipulate voters' choices. Two cases of
advertising manipulation on voters was during the Canadian National Referendum
of 1992 and the Quebec R ...

Is It An Open Road?
Number of Words: 763 / Number of Pages: 3
... a brightly colored vehicle consuming the pavement. All I’ve caught is a glimpse of this wonderful machine that has an “engine technology that will carry me over the racetracks and to private school”. But the color makes me want to see more. Not the usual black or red. No. This car is different. This car is amazing. This car is purple. Not just any purple, but a rich, gleaming purple. The purple only a strong women would drive. The voice continues to say only one more catch. “It’s a million stars, just a moon roof away”. Imagining looking up at those stars on a warm night does it for me. I’m ...

The Crucible: John Proctor Had Common Sense
Number of Words: 598 / Number of Pages: 3
... whether he was having or
not having an affair with Abigail. The questions were directed toward
John's wife Elizabeth. Proctor had made certain to the judge that
Elizabeth could not and certainly would not lie. Sure enough, when
Elizabeth was questioned she ended up lying to try to save her husbands
reputation from being ruined, Meanwhile she had no idea what John had
previously stated and how this would bring on the deterioration of his
character. This is where irony took its part, with Elizabeth testifying
that John certainly is not a lecher but, "John previously admitted Abigail
was his eager whore ...

Is There Any Justification For Regarding Euripedes' Electra As An Inferior Tragedy?
Number of Words: 2009 / Number of Pages: 8
... have done. Instead they must live with the knowledge of their crime for the rest of their lives.
The tragedy in Electra is not simply confined to the action of the play, and in the first speech the Peasant reveals to the audience that it is more of an ongoing affliction on the house of Agamemnon. In one sentence the Peasant reveals the sole reason for Electra's revenge, and the reason for this play itself, when he tells us how Agamemnon "died, by his wife Clytamnestra's treachery and by Aegisthus' murderous hand." It soon becomes apparent that Agamemnon's daughter will not let this crime rest eithe ...

King Lear: Conspiracy In Nakedness And Dress
Number of Words: 616 / Number of Pages: 3
... some clothes is to be someone, to have none is to
be nobody.
Edgar, legitimate son to the Earl of Gloucester, is well dressed, not as
much as Lear, but still above commoners. Edgar is believed to be plotting to
annihilate his own father. So every one is after someone named "Edgar", who is
a well dressed noble. In order to protect himself, Edgar becomes no one. He
becomes nobody by shedding his noble garments, and disguises himself by, "My
face I'll grime with filth,/ Blanket my loins, elf all my hair in knots,/ And
with presented nakedness outface..." Now Edgar is nobody, and there is nob ...

As far as the characters go they’re strange to but promote self-esteem and individuality. Showing that people are different and will be different and can live amongst each other peacefully. I also think that the rumor of the one who caries a bag as being an attempt to show that homosexuals are ok is so absolutely absurd that its stranger then the teletubies themselves. The age group that this show reaches barley has grasp on the idea of male and female. Also I don’t know m ...

The Use Of “Foil” Characters In Shakespeare’s Hamlet
Number of Words: 1330 / Number of Pages: 5
... numerous
occasions when the brave and instinctive actions of this character reflect
poorly upon the character of Hamlet. For example although we do not see
Fortinbras’s initial reaction to his fathers death, we know that from the
outset of the play he has already set out to avenge his fathers death.
“...Now, sir, young Fortinbras,
Hath in the skirts of Norway, here and there,
Shark’d up a list of lawless resolutes,”
This quote tells us that in this short period of time Fortinbras has formed
an army of outlaws to launch an attack on Denmark “…to recover of us, by
strong of hand……those foresaid ...
