Here he was named a two-time All-American NJCAA wrestler and in his second year he won the championship. While wrestling at Bismarck State he was being watched by the University of Minnesota. They gave him a scholarship as well. (Cohen 2) In his first year he lost the championship match by a 3-2 decision over Stephen Neal. By next season already he was just throwing guys across the mat like rag dolls.
If the movie had more detail it would be more interesting. The book gave me a better picture. When I saw the movie it confused me because it didn’t have all the parts. If I just saw the movie I wouldn’t understand why Greasers and Socs were separated and why they hated each other. I think Cherry did a really good job; she fit the description really well I think.
Laura Chen 401110597 Composition and Conversation II─ Dr. Murphy RR4 23 June 2014 Is Pearl Harbor a Fiction or a Real War? Entertaining Purpose Makes Pearl Harbor Lose Historical Accuracy There are many documentaries about the historical event, Pearl Harbor attack; however, none of them is more famous and well-known than the film Pearl Harbor (2001). When watching the film Pearl Harbor, audience can be entertained with compelling story and cool visual effects which are absent in documentaries. Conversely, Pearl Harbor would be too entertaining to be historically accurate, and it brings audience the wrong concept about Pearl Harbor attack. The film production of Pearl Harbor should be responsible for this negative result, because “most
In The Hunger Games it tells a story about a girl Katniss and she has to goes through, in which a way she just has to discover herself, also to show that the government has control, they hold a competition in which children compete against each other, and only one victor comes out. The reason the government does all of this is because they want to show the people that they have control over them, and they can’t do anything about it. Collins has created an outstanding novel, which also received an award for one of the best books of the year. Her purpose for writing this book was to diffuse
(Alvarez 1997) is a very good book, in fact I read it in one day. Which was great, but then at the end it made you want more. In the beginning of the book, it seems all of Yolanda’s sisters feel betrayed and hurt that Yolanda would write a book about their lives. Even though it is labeled a fictional book, the book seems to be based off their lives. The first chapter was told by FiFi, the youngest sister.
Exposing violence in the media teaches bad morals and is not supported by the greater good of society. In the show “24”, the main character, Jack Bauer is effective and powerful in saving America, by using torturing methods. The message sent is, “..as long as the tortures manage to choose the correct victim…those who know a lot and those who know a little spill... information within seconds after pain starts-which is not a common occurrence”(Cusac 140). The show makes scenarios look so unrealistic, that you can’t determine what the truth is and what is make belief. Some may say, “Its unfair competition.
The book “The Hunger Games” is about a society in which the citizens are sectioned off into 12 districts. The capitol does all they can to control them and one of the primary methods is the hunger games. In the hunger games the capitol annually enters all the children’s names ages 12-18 into a lottery, where one girl and one boy will be randomly selected to compete. The ones that are chosen will have to battle against each other till the death in treacherous conditions while the whole country of Panem watches on television. In the book the characters were revolutionary and took risk, they didn’t let the capitol (no matter how much they attempted to) control their every thought and action and sometimes stood up for what they believed was the
In contrast to the novel Frankenstein written by Mary Shelley, the movie had background music to each scene that set either an anticipant, nervous, worried, happy, or excited mood for the viewer. For example, before the monster would kill someone, the music in the film would go from pleasant to fast paced and terrifying. This music very adequately portrayed the horror genre of the story Frankenstein. The novel, although I am sure was meant to be terrifying, did not as effectively convey the emotions of terror that the screen play adaption was successful in doing. However, it must be taken into consideration that it was probably a very scary story years ago, but today horror stories are much more terrifying and intense than Frankenstein
In the Novel The Hunger Games, there are twelve districts. Each year during the reaping two kids from the ages 12-18 are picked to participate in the Hunger Games. The reason there are Hunger Games is because the thirteenth district rebelled against the capitol, which is equal to our government. To punish the districts for district thirteen’s behavior, they made up the Hunger Games where each year two kids are picked from each district to go in an arena to fight to the death while only one out of twenty four can win. The winner’s district gets showered with food, and the individual winner gets to live in the Victors Village.
This Movie being a psychological “thriller” you would think the ending would leave viewers with a mindset of us making are own prediction of what was going to happen next. That’s what seems to be theme at least up until the ending of the movie which took the excitement and suspense out, making the movie inconsistent and dull. Yes, everyone wanted to know if Evan would ever resolve his problem, but you would anticipate the ending to be a bit more dramatic. This is why I don’t think the theatrical cut was an appropriate ending because it lacked suspense, thrill, and excitement, but I did Evans dilemma. The theatrical ending is one
