The book Stones In Water was written by Donna Jo Napoli, an author of children's and young adult books. This book is a wrenching novel of a boy caught up in a war he hates.

There is a fine line between making fun of or mocking an individual with a mental disability and actually truthfully acting out how someone is with a real disability. Again, Hoffman does this very well and does not make the viewer feel as if he is making fun of anyone at all. Tom Cruise also plays his role very well, showing almost no remorse or sympathy towards his brother, Raymond, when they first meet. It takes a certain type of person to be able to act that out completely and make it believable. The entire topic of the movie is a very sensitive one, so Cruise was exceptional in making the viewer believe that he truly just wanted to get his half of the money from Raymond, and not build a relationship with him.
He was a strong believer in Judaism, and even studied mysticism and the texts of their sacred scriptures. However, once the Nazis came into his hometown of Sighet, all the Jews of his town were forced into cattle cars and taken to Auschwitz and Birkenau. There, his family was torn apart, leaving him with his father, and his sisters with his mother. Once they were split, he began to slowly lose his innocence. “Yet that was the moment I left my mother… In a fraction of a second I could see my mother, my sisters, move to the right… I didn't know that this was the moment in time and the place where I was leaving my mother and Tzipora forever…My hand tightened its grip on my father.
Long: In Franco Zeffirelli's Romeo and Juliet, the scene that I found especially interesting is that of the final duels, i.e. Mercutio vs. Tybalt and Tybalt vs. Romeo. The contrast between the two is great, and the director's interpretation of the scene is quite different from any other version. When Mercutio fights Tybalt, the scene is playful, almost like a game. The two banter back and forth, everyone else is laughing, and they keep enough distance between themselves that they'd be hard-pressed to do any real harm.
“Chances are, the genius representing you in the legislature won’t score 50 percent on the above test” (Moore 132). In a deeper outlook his sarcastic tone shows that he is confident enough about his argument to make jokes about it. He almost makes the reader feel like an “idiot” themselves for not knowing about the predicament our nation is in before reading his argument. Moore’s sarcasm is another way of being bumptious and knowing his stand on the argument is the right one and to push his audience to agree as well. Moore’s excerpt is well-structured from beginning to end.
Night, by Elie Wiesel, is an autobiographical book about the survival of a young Jew that is living in the times of the horrifying Holocaust. The characters face terrifying accounts that takes place at the concentration camp, Auschwitz. Wiesel writes of his battle for survival and the utmost degradation of the human race.

We learn the hardships of the Jewish religion through Adolf Hitler and the holocaust in Germany during World War II. We are taught about Martin Luther King and his speech during the Civil Rights Movement. We lived through the brutal killing of Matthew Shephard who was beaten to death because he was
‘A Beautiful Life’ ultimately aims to challenge the audience with the issues of racial marginalisation, through the emotive narrative, and the non-linear structure of the plotline. The structure of the plotline allows for theatrical playfulness in many of the scenes, which my group did employ. We were one of the only groups to have a comedic edge to our piece. Amir says: “Everyone watched as Dad single-handedly pushed the car”, to which I (Hamid) put my scarf around my back as a cape, and stick a hand out like superman. Through this simple action, a representation of the holistically common fatherly idolization is portrayed, to highlight the similarities between the refugee, and the Australian.
