By Rene Zacchini “Bowling for Columbine” is a documentary based in the exploration of gun violence in American society.

However many viewers do not realise that documentaries are only a version of reality.
Since Jerry had no idea what he was doing as a criminal mastermind, he couldn’t successfully put across some guidelines for the two hit men. His greed also just wanted it done for himself, while he just basically sits back and lets it happen. This mistake is what leads to the three innocent lives being lost in the car, and later Jerry’s wife ends up being killed after not cooperating properly with one of the hit men. All Jerry wanted was the easy way out of his financial slump, but he ended up getting himself into much more than he asked

John’s character in the beginning of the story may seem kind of suspicious of how he doesn’t want anyone to know of how he cheated on his wife, and that at first he would do anything just so that no one would find out. As the story goes on you start to feel that John’s character is changing. You can see this because at first he didn’t want anyone to know, and now he feels really guilty and wants to confess to his wife, so that Elizabeth doesn’t have to suffer for what he has done. John then was with a girl Mary Warren at the court and was also trying to help put Abigail to shame for lying, but then Mary Warren is getting accused for being a witch and turns on John saying “You’re a Devil’s man. I’ll not hang with you!
Stampler revealed at the end of the film that his real personality is that of Roy, and that he had made up his other personality of Aaron. In an effort to make Aaron appear as innocent as possible, Stampler adopted a stutter, and spoke very slowly and quietly. This was highly exaggerated in contrast to his actual persona of Roy, who was confident, violent, and remorseless. This is consistent with research done on malingering, which shows that malingerers will often exaggerate their presentation of symptoms (Ramsland, 2002). Furthermore, research on multiple personality disorder (MPD) (now known as dissociative identity disorder) showed that people attempting to feign MPD would often report having two stereotypical good versus bad personalities, while true sufferers of MPD normally report having “a tetrad of personalities” (Kluft, 1987, p.112).
Scout also does not understand the consequences of many things. This includes about fighting and the situation with Boo Radley, the Finch’s exclusive neighbour. Having such a young narrator gives To Kill a Mockingbird a different point of view to many other stories. It shows innocence and naivety, but also to not judge everything straight away. It helps ease the tension, especially during such a controversial novel.
I chose this photo because I’ve watched parts of the movie, and read the text, the part that really touched me and tore me apart was when the men had to dig up bodies from the mass graves with their bare hands, after digging them up they had to pile them up, throw flammable fluids such as gasoline and burn the massive piles of bodies so that no sign of this mass murder was left. The worst part is that the men sometimes stumbled upon bodies of their beloved such as their mothers, fathers, siblings, wives and children and having to set them on
To me the main reason why luv is so misunderstood is because the word TRUTH doesn't play its part. It could be that u are not being TRUE to urself about the relationship. Or it could be that they are not telling u the TRUTH about how they really feel. Wuteva the situation is, people need to understand that when the Truth is told, the relationship will be exactly what u want it to be. Many times, people get scared of the truth and try to hide from it.
The close-up shots in particular create suspense by manufacturing a sense of confinement/imprisonment for the characters, as well as the viewer. Hitchcock targets gender ideology in his films by plugging into man's supposed fear of being feminized. As such, Hitchcock often deals with male characters who are feminized/emasculated in some form or another. For example, the protagonist in Rear Window, a photographer, is confined to his apartment after breaking his leg taking an action shot at an automobile race. Questions of gender arise when analyzing Jeff's new passive, immobile role — one that is quite different from his prior role as that of an action photographer.
Memento Reflection General Psychology Daniel Honas Fort Hays State University This semester in General Psychology we watched the movie Memento. The movie is very confusing, starts at the end and ends at the beginning, repeats parts of the story in different order, is very open to interpretation, and never gives you a definite answer to what is really supposed to be going on. The movie starts out with the main character, Lenny, looking at a picture of a dead guy and trying to figure out if he killed the man or not because he has a condition that doesn’t allow him to make new memories. The movie is very choppy and has flashbacks and flash forwards of different events that happened to Lenny. You learn that Lenny is trying to find the man that killed and raped his wife and that caused him to get his condition by smashing his head into a mirror.
