At the moment Rusty, the young protagonist of The Bartender's Tale, is rescued from his Aunt Marge's house in Phoenix, author Ivan Doig cranks into motion a dense valentine of a novel about a father and a small town at the start of the 1960s. Rusty's liberator is also his father, Tom Harry, the august bartender and proprietor of the Medicine Lodge bar in Gros Ventre, Mont. Tom is the archetypical flinty Western bartender, slinging beers and shots of wisdom cultivated from a less than perfect life. He raises Rusty with the kind of affectionate neglect that allows this curious, motherless boy to discover the world for himself. The bulk of The Bartender's Tale takes place in the summer of 1960, six years after Rusty has moved to Montana.

Identity Struggles in The Great Gatsby and Mrs. Dalloway F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby and Virginia Woolf’s Mrs. Dalloway both present the argument that our surroundings, physical environment and human relationships impact the notion of self or personal identity. Furthermore, they both claim that society acts as a mirror, and that in life, humans cannot fully understand their identity until they see it reflected back to us by the mirror of others, at which time they are able to internalized it and reflect upon it. This theme is prominent throughout both novels, and is reflected in the actions of nearly all of the characters. It is especially evident, however, in the characters of Septimus and Clarissa in Mrs. Dalloway, as well as Gatsby and Nick in The Great Gatsby. Overall, through characterization and insight into past experiences of characters, both authors introduce the notion that outside factors such as location and relationships influence one’s concept of their personal identity, and thus society serves as a mirror for self-identity.

Crash is the perfect analogy of how we as a human race deal with life, people and our own experiences. Physical characteristics and racial differences may be interpreted as two distinguishing traits that separate us. I think it’s what keeps us apart. It also shows how everyone’s actions can cause a ripple effect on another person’s life. We are all connected to one another by just crossing one another’s paths while going on with our own lives.
Critical Analysis Film: Vertigo Authority and manipulation is played strongly in one of the most classic Hitchcock’s films of all time, Vertigo (1958). Through the analysis of visual imagery and camera angles, it allows the audience to explore how the male protagonist, Scottie’s masculinity and power is used to control, manipulate and change Judy in order to succeed his replacement of the death of his lover, Madeline. Film techniques has been effectively used to portray Scottie’s use of authority in order to change Judy to fit his obsession with Madeline. When Scottie and Judy are at Ernie’s Restaurant having their first date, Scottie is spotted by Judy looking at a woman who was similarly dressed in a grey outfit as Madeline. This effectively portrays Judy’s vulnerability and pitifulness as she is a constant reminder of only Madeline through Scottie’s eyes; this is also supported through her sad facial expression and her looking downwards and then back at him.

There are two theoretical dimensions explored within the conducted study, the Social Impact Theory (SIT) explains the two as, “The dilution effect (where an individual feels submerged in the group) and the immediacy gap (where an individual feels isolated from the group)” (Chidambaram & Tung, 2005). The social impact theory is a key component to understanding social loafing in technology-supported groups. The social impact theory (Latané, 1981) claims that all forms of social influence, whatever the specific social process, will be proportional to a multiplicative function of the strength, immediacy, and number of people who are the sources of influence, and inversely proportional to the strength, immediacy, and number of people being influenced. The two principles of the theory, dilution effect and immediacy gap, help support the conclusions as well as the understanding of the study’s results. Kidwell and Bennett (1993) explains that the motivational forces behind social loafing is based on the long time argument that the greater the sources and targets of social impact within a group, the less contributions individual members make towards group effort.
