... a fight at the end, and Jerry beat Archie up. And in the book there was no two person fight. At the end of the movie Obie becomes head of the Vigils and Archie is reduced in rank. Archie get the marble in the movie but not in the book. There is no music in the book, but there is in the movie. I liked the movie better than the book. It was better because Jerry got even with Archie for once. And that in my opinion, is a better way to end a movie like the Chocolate War. I just feel that movies are more helpful. And in this case I just feel that it was much better. The book just lacked many unexplainable qualities, that the movie had. ...

Jeremy's characteristic that distinguished him from the rest of society in which he lived in. Although he was persecuted, beaten, and ridiculed at. He understood his characteristics and understood why the boys hated him It was fear! 3. I respect Jeremy's caring. Like Christ himself, he wouldn't fight or use any sort of violence to resolve problems. Jeremy would speak his words of wisdom, or use his divine powers of mental stability and force to express a point. He would, without hurting anyone, prove a point. This charac ...

... integrity intact. He is a special man, who is steadfast in upholding his principles, even when death breathes down his neck. Sir Thomas More truly is a paragon. One character in the play particularly concerned with his goals, regardless of the path he must take to reach them is Thomas Cromwell. Cromwell is the personification of pragmatism and is willing to do anything, providing the end sees him satisfied. "…our job as administrators is to make it as convenient as we can," Cromwell states in reference to the King's divorce and the pursuit of More's support. He is "…the King's ear," and is thus responsible for all the menial tasks which the King would otherwis ...

... that Ophelia’s father, Polonius was involved. In his outrage he ended the romance by saying: I have heard of your paintings, well enough. God hath given you one face, and you make yourselves another. You jig and amble and you [lisp,] you nickname God’s creatures and make your wantonness [your] ignorance. I say we will have no more marriage. (3.1.142-149) Knowing that Polonius was an accomplice in such a vicious act Hamlet did not want to betray his father by marrying into a sinful family. In agreement to this idea Hamlet also said, “Get thee to a nunn’ry, why wouldst thou be a breeder of sinners?” for if Ophelia were to be a nun she would not be gi ...

... lie. To one person, a smiling monkey can instill a primal feeling of fear, while to another the first reaction is one of amusement. This difference in reaction is based upon religious upbringing, and nothing more. To certain culture, a smiling monkey is the scariest thing they could ever imagine, and to another, it means laughter. A close minded person viewing an ancient religious mask would see nothing more than nonsense, while one who wishes to understand art would see the beauty of that culture and it's beliefs, and would try to place themselves in a way so that they may understand the original meaning ofthe mask, and form an educated opinion ...

... such oppositional readings as well as such familiar oppositions as masculine and feminine, positive and negative images of women, reinscription and subversion of patriarchal ideologies. The tension between the film’s uses of narrative and image works to interrogate and problematize both feminist and antifeminist assumptions about gender, power, and subjectivity. In Alice Doesn’t Teresa de Lauretis claims that Feminist film theory has gone well beyond the simple opposition of positive and negative images, and has indeed displaced the very terms of that opposition to a sustained critical attention to the hidden work of the apparatus. It has shown, for instance, h ...

... 58-59) plant early in the play a conception of time as something which fulfills itself by growing---and which, the season being wrong, can swell to monstrous shape. " . . . the troubles of Macbeth's character are planted early in the play, and they foreshadow his downfall," (Brooks). In the early scenes of the play evil is scarcely visible in Macbeth, but it spreads through his soul at an alarming speed. Macbeth takes his first giant step towards complete corruption when he murders his gracious king, Duncan. Duncan thinks highly of Macbeth and praises him often, such as when he states, "I have begun to plant thee, and will labor/ To make thee full of growing. ...

... contributes to the themes authority and power in King Lear. These symbols are represented by material things. For example, in [Act 1 scene 1] when Lear is dividing up his land, power and authority to his three daughters, depending on how much they can verbally express their love for him. [Lines 52-53] "Which of you shall say doth love us most? That we our largest bounty may extend where nature doth with merit challenge." The land that each daughter received is the extent of their authority and of their power in the Kingdom. For example, the Duke of Burgundy did not wish to marry Cordelia after he found out she was getting nothing from her father. He was m ...

Anyone who read Macbeth would agree that it's quite parallel to Flowers & Shadows. Even thought the books where written by two different authors at different time periods; the depicted morals of the stories show the fundamental and universal relation of ...

... has a desire to destroy, deep-rooted in violence. Despot rulers are also never satisfied with the power they have at any given time, thus exposing their constant fear of retaliation from their subjects. This examination of the despot ruler by Plato clearly shows the motives by which despot rulers rule, but it fails to explain why and how these motives originate in the human mind. In order to comprehend why such a high level of fear and insecurity can be brought about, a look at the upbringing and personal life of Richard should be brought into discussion. One of three brothers, Richard was in constant competition of who would succeed in gaining the throne of ...
