Overall, the word blood has a lot of significance behind it because it means a lot of things. It represents things that are the complete opposite of each other like hate or happiness, or life and death. The main character, Macbeth, was a murderer and was the cause of the lost lives in the play. The front cover of the play portrays a picture of Macbeth holding a bloody dagger. That shows the audience how Macbeth is a
This paper is intended to describe the elements of film design, from envisioning the story to designing, creating the film and the edited and revised end product that the audience views on the big screen. The movie that will be used to demonstrate the various elements of film design is the notorious, Forrest Gump. “Everything in the mise en scene is controlled, chosen or at least approved by the director (Goodykoontz & Jacobs, 2011).” The production company, Paramount Pictures produced the film Forrest Gump. The director of the film, Forrest Gump is Robert Zemeckis, known for his use of special effects. Zemeckis is from the “Spielberg camp of film-making” and has even had Spielberg produce many of his films (IMBD 2012).
All Quite on the Western Front helps to give a real insight to what a battle was like during WW1. The set up of the trenches along with new weapons made trench warfare extremely disastrous. When watching All Quite on the Western Front, one gets a good idea how the trenches were set up. Watching the movie allows one to actually get a visual on how hard it was to pass the enemy lines. The set up of the trenches allowed the war to be as bloody as it was.
I feel Capote’s in-depth analysis and reconstruction of this murder case struck horror into my heart, knowing how unpredictable murder is and how devastating the effects were afterwards. Personally, this story almost seemed unreal, that a murder with seemingly no motive almost went unsolved, but luckily had a “fairy-tale” ending in which the criminals were caught. It is crimes like these that the criminals deserve the death sentance, even if the punishment is cruel. Even though I do not live in the same time period as the Clutter murder, I think that I would have to disagree with Capote’s thinking that hanging was wrong, since the criminals clearly deserved the punishment, which oddly, they were willing to
He comes to the figure in the black room and quickly, he meets his fate. After that, the Red Death slowly makes its way throughout the abbey killing every person in its path. Now in my opinion, there is a lot more to this story than Poe actually wrote. It seemed that he was implying a lot, like he does with much of his work. The way that I took the message of this story is that no matter who you are, and what
Nowhere in the novel is there a happy thought of war, it is constantly being shown as a destructive route to go. This portrayal of war in a negative light is highlighted by including the words slaughterhouse in the tittle. The slaughterhouse is the location where animals are slaughtered, the parallel between this and the tittle is that the book promotes the idea that war is an unnecessary route and only leads to the slaughter of humans. The tittle of the novel also reflects the major motif of Death. Death is embedded in every chapter and is used to show the destructiveness of a war.
This battle to me should be titled “Massacre of Wounded Knee”. It was a spine tingling event. This event causes sorrow and only sorrow. This event made me realize that one should listen entirely and not take anything into result quickly. A massacre means the unnecessary, indiscriminate killings of a large number of human beings or animals.
On Human Nature: William Golding's Perception William Golding wanted to write a novel better than the ones he read to his children. Golding was finally inspired to write, what is now known as Lord of the Flies, after witnessing the horrors of and after World War II. "The novel's sense of tragedy came from the most desperate time of his life, which was after the war" (Lord of the Flies Discovery Channel documentary). Golding "took the war and scaled it into a limited experiment" (Lord of the Flies Discovery Channel documentary). The Holocaust, which shocked the entire world, displayed genocide and evil beyond imagination.
The ‘final solution’ of genocide was introduced at the Wannsee Conference of 1942. (Nichols, 2008). Most Historians divide into two schools when interpreting the Holocaust; the intentionalists and structualists. The intentionalists believe that Hitler’s intentions were clearly set out in Mein Kampf, early in his career, and when he came to power he and the Nazi party followed a step-by–step path to fulfilling these plans. Historians, Bracher and Jackel believed the holocaust was a completely intentional act, as Wyman states: “Intentionalism anchored Nazi behaviour in Hitler’s and his cohorts' deeply felt anti-Semitism, which they had formulated well before their ascent to power; once in power, they had put into practice what their intention had been all along.” (Wyman, p.419, 1996) Intentionalists argue everything in the Nazi period, was a deliberate move towards Hitler’s ultimate goals.
Comparing Brando’s early rebellion against authority to any average teenager’s quarrel with life itself. Denby also uses a lot of deductive reasoning in his writing. To get us from point a to point b. In this case he started talking about an old western movies and then from there he drew the reader out ever so precisely, and took them to a whole different conclusion about high school movies. David Denby’s short essay is a prime example of a persuasive essay.
