The theme of “The Lottery” is society’s resistance to change. Jackson uses many elements of fiction to convey the theme; however, the three most prominent are plot, characterization, and symbolism.

When they get to the ranch looking for the job the one that talks is always George, because Lennie have an issue in his brain that’s why he acts as a little kid. George talks to the owner of the ranch and he told him that Lennie is his cousin and his mother left him so he have to take care of the poor Lennie. I make the analysis and I get to the conclusion that mice in the title, and in the book are Lennie because mice can’t make decision by itself. I compare Lennie like the mice that the scientist uses in the laboratories to make experiments on them, because the nervous system is similar to a human one. The scientists use the mice in the laboratory to make experiments on them with many things, like medicine to see how they react to it.
George is a hard worker and Lennie is this huge innocent guy that listens to whatever george says or tells him to do. Dexter and debra are more of the strange kind of people. Dexter is working in homicide and is usually off killing murderers. Debra also works in homicide also, her main focus is usually getting close to dexter but at the same time building up self confidence and trusting herself more. In of mice and men George and Lennie have this big idea to work and save up their money to build a farm.

Although these movies are all very closely related in many ways, as well as very different, there are many more similarities in “Psycho” and “Dial M for Murder.” “Dial M for Murder” takes the classic story of a gold digging spouse looking for their cut and adds a very interesting, and frightening, twist. When an ex-tennis pro Tony Wendice decides to murder his wife for her money and because she had an affair the year before. He blackmails an old college associate to strangle her, but when things go wrong he sees a way to turn events to his advantage. The characters and storyline go twisting and turning all throughout the movie. This makes it a very stunning and groundbreaking film.
“His judgment cometh and that right soon” and to wait for it with patient hope is the crux of the message of the film, “The Shawshank Redemption”. Frank Darabont, the director, uses such powerful themes to masterfully develop the antipodal characters of Andy Dufresne and the warden Samuel Norton, as well to rouse overwhelming feelings in the audience. He achieves this through the use of deep symbolism together with effective cinematography, music and lighting. “Hope is a good thing and good things never die”. Andy speaks out every prisoner’s deepest thought in this quote.
