... people can apply to make their everyday life better, I continue to watch. This attraction I have for this show is so deep in though and value, provided that I am able to stay focused on the entire show. Each day as I watch this show, learning every lesson they throw at me, and swallowing it up into my brain never forgetting it. The desire for me to learn from this show is quite intense and astonishing; it is like going to school everyday and acquiring the knowledge I need to know. Even though, this show proves to be brain food that I need daily, seeing the show in one thing, but going deeper then just the show itself. I mean seriously listening to what the actors ...

... in summer, and to let it shine in when it is low in the winter. Chinese music is used in theaters as part of plays. It is also sung by the Chinese in their own folk tunes and popular songs. Instruments and voices follow the same notes in unison, instead of blending in harmony, and the rhythms are typically Chinese. Chinese melodies are very different from American tunes. Chinese scales are extremely different from American ones. Chinese music is built on five or seven notes. American music is built on the eight-note octave, with five half notes. Many Chinese tunes are never written on paper. They are remembered and taught to younger musicians. The ...

... what she saw inside, and told Allan "I saw, I know, you disgust me…"( p.96). To Allan, Blanche 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 relationsh ...

... now be afforded, who is become with flirtation, and engages in childlike acts of disobedience (259). This inferior role from which Nora progressed is extremely important. Ibsen in his "A Doll's House" depicts the role of women as subordinate in order to emphasize the need to reform their role in society. Definite characteristics of the women's subordinate role in a relationship are emphasized through Nora's contradicting actions. Her infatuation with luxuries such as expensive Christmas gifts contradicts her resourcefulness in scrounging and buying cheap clothing; her defiance of Torvald by eating forbidden Macaroons contradicts the submission of her opinions, i ...

The costumes of the main characters in this scene are the same as throughout the movie. Ness wears a light gray colored suit, hat, trench coat and tie. Stone is wearing a little darker colored, more casual, clothing with a tie and light colored hat. Capones men were dressed similarly with trench coats and hats of light colors. Also, the innocent bystanders in this scene are the sailors in their suits, the woman, with the baby in her innocent raggy clothes, and all the other people in the scene who look as though they might be Capones men.

... reader has automatic sympathy for the character. This allows him more leeway for wrong doing by creating room for it within the reader's mind. Prospero came to the island with his daughter to find it already inhabited by two savages. Upon arrival, Prospero brought his “new” ideas with him, and began to force them upon these two savages, Sycorax and Caliban. He believed that his new ideas were better, such as slavery opposed to freedom, which he imposed on Caliban. “Dull thing, I say so; he, that Caliban, Whom now I keep in my service.” (Act. I, Sc. II, Ln. 285,6) This view of whose ideas were better is an obvious matter of ...

... with the plot there is also extensive amounts of setup that occur within the dialogue which key the audience in on the morals and values of the characters. Marilyn French is completely accurate when she states that "Everything about the play hangs on the first two scenes not just the plot but the values as well" (Shakespeare's Division of Experience, 226). The opening scenes of King Lear do an immaculate job of setting up the plot and forming the basis for all the events which occur in the later scenes of the play. "The elements of that opening scene are worth pausing over, because they seem to have been selected to bring before us precisely such an impressi ...

... in the form of a dream, it seems a good way of analyzing Dorothy's maturation is by looking at this dream compared with real ones, and using modern dream analogy from the Freudian perspective. The act that spurs the entire action of the movie, according to Freudian Daniel Dervin ( Over The Rainbow 163 ), is Dorothy witnessing the "primal scene". The "primal scene" refers to a child witnessing sexual intercourse between mother and father; an moment that is both terrifying and confusing to the child. According to Dervin, this event sends Dorothy towards her final stage of childhood development ( Freud believed in three stages of childhood development ) the p ...

... arguably perfecting film techniques such as continuity editing, intercutting and close-ups, he transformed film from mere entertainment to art and propaganda. To present and explore a theme, symbolism is used everywhere in literature. Whether the image is subtle or obvious it is regardless a sign of considerable calculation and effort. In Birth of a nation Griffith places symbols everywhere, in doing this he merges literary devices of written works with his own visual works. For instance, the parched corn symbol in the scene where the southern army is eating symbolizes their desperation in the face of defeat. This imagery proves that Griffith wasn't just prese ...
