... the story line in the movie.
I bet professional critics say the new version of did not measure up, well I loved it. Dominique Swain was awesome (a little hottie as well) and she perfectly played the character of . She may have even been more manipulative in the film version. An example of this was when was toying with Humbert as she rubbed her foot all over him in order to get a raise in her allowance and be able to be part of the play. You could not be much more sexual, manipulative girl than was! On minor change was that was twelve in the novel and fourteen in the movie. Thi ...

Shooting An Elephant
Number of Words: 761 / Number of Pages: 3
... try to convince himself that all animals go through this stage, however he could not face the fact that the people would think of him as a coward. Orwell made it obvious that he did not feel that it was the right thing to do. However he also brought it to the reader’s attention that the reason he did kill the elephant was because he felt he couldn't face the people if he didn't. He says, "To come all that way rifle in hand, with two thousand people marching at my heels, and then to trail feebly away having done nothing—no, that was impossible(page 210)." It seems as if Orwell feared he wo ...

The Road Not Taken By Frost
Number of Words: 1227 / Number of Pages: 5
... you to good fortune and happiness. Another interesting part of this line is how he describes the woods as yellow. “Yellow” is a word that strongly helps out the imagery, helps to describe the uncertainty of the speaker, and implies that he may be scared to even choose a path. Evidently he does not want to choose the wrong road and mess up the rest of his life. I believe that as he stands before these two roads he is really confused and scared as to which road to pick. All he can do is look as far down each road as possible, and hope that he decides upon the right one. This is exactly wha ...

Breaking from his reverie, Prufrock abruptly switches to his other world, of things measured out with coffeespoons. He mentions ladies, at their tea parties, talking of Michelangelo, a subject so deep that it begs a discussion more serious than that of the chatter at ladies' tea parties.

Prufrock then decides to switch back to this other, more beautiful world, and he descri ...

America's Bad Choice In Leaders
Number of Words: 736 / Number of Pages: 3
... face on Mount Rushmore to be remembered as a great president? This has got to be a joke. I mean Reagan, their fearless leader, also catered to the paranoia factor that so many fascist dickheads live off of, therefore fueling the fires of fascism in the U.S. And for some reason the country loves this guy for doing all this? I bet there are hundreds more things that this guy did that people don’t even know about and probably never will.
Then you’ve got George Bush. He coined this lovely little phrase “Drug War”. It must have been expected that he’d used this “Drug War” as an excuse to take the U.S. a ...

Dr. Mengele
Number of Words: 1472 / Number of Pages: 6
... chronological order, it is not simply a telling of a life story. It is a look into who Josef Mengele was, and how he changed over the years.
The authors underlying main theme, throughout the book, seemed to be to show that Josef Mengele was not who his infamous legend would dictate.

He earned the nickname “The Angel of Death” for the way he would remain calm and composed while performing such torturous an act as a live dissection of a human being. He had a sick fascination with twins. He believed t ...

Number of Words: 699 / Number of Pages: 3
... be the equivalent of going to hell for the early Anglo-Saxons. Everyone wanted to be remembered, but only for admirable things. Being remembered for a shameful life would be much worse than dying.
Yea, death is better
for liegemen all than a life of shame!
Next, courage and strength were also looked highly upon during these pre-medieval times. In our time courage is often seen as foolish or ostentatious, while during Beowulf’s time it was seen as admirable and praiseworthy.
‘Twas now, men say, in his sovran's need
that the earl made known his noble strain,
