Yahweh Matuguinas Instructor: Graham Bell English 111 31 January 2012 A Summary of the Essay “Sit Down and Shut Up, or Don’t Sit by Me” In the essay, “Sit Down and Shut up, or Don’t Sit by Me,” Dennis Dermody states his observations of some of the audiences’ bad behaviors before and while watching a movie in a theater. Dermody also classifies some groups of people according on how they behave inside the movie theater. He calls them the “chatterers”, “krinklers” and “unending box of popcorn people” (183-184). Dermody describes the readers his habit of making it to the movies at least half an hour before it starts. He does that just because he gets amused by observing how the audiences choose a place to sit along with their bad behaviors the movie.
A window away, but perhaps a reflection of the fears that lay deep within this broken body, Jefferies, a man of integrity, and prestige, found refuge in observing the lives of others, which led him to an untimely fate, Beginning to unravel as his “innocent fun” becomes much more, what reason is he completely entranced by the other tenants. Like subjects in an experiment, the eye in the sky takes notes, and analyzes the daily episodes. Meticulously watching for variations, his subjects carry on as usual, unaware of the wandering eyes of a man still searching for something more than he already
However, use of sound is particularly important to this movie. Hitchcock used sound to set the mood and to keep you guessing at what would happen next. Sound was used to build up to creepy, suspenseful moments and to keep you on the edge of your seat throughout the whole movie. To do this, Hitchcock used not only music, but also many types of background noises such as a radio playing a commercial, street noises, and the sound of people arguing, to set the mood in the beginning. In later scenes, Hitchcock used such things as the phone ringing in the murderer’s apartment right after he finished hiding his wife’s body, and creepy music and footstep noises when the
I put it into this category because while watching the movie you’re unsure of a lot of things. “Whats going on in that room” “Why are they doing that” and most importantly: “What is Mr. Thornwald up to?” You’re left unsure of things until the very end, and by that time he’s come into Jeff’s apartment and you don’t know if he’s going to kill him or not. It’s a mystery; until everything works out at the very end. 3. What are the principal themes in Rear Window?
Because the “colored” were not like the rest, the people were prejudice and immediately thought that they were mischievous and would disregard their presence. That situation, however, had an eminent connection to prejudice in the 1950’s. However, Mr. Johnson’s love of art began when creating art in private, yet, when seen by others he was encouraged to show the people of Pleasantville. His passion pushed him to paint on his windows for the whole town to see, despite the fact that art and colors were frowned upon by others. Mr. Johnson’s passion for art drove him to explore other kinds of art, art with new shapes and colors.
The burns could possibly still be seen one later in life, their personal space could also still be effected, this causing relationship issues for the child later in life, and it could make the child feel different from the rest of the world. Though the person couldn’t remember the actual pain of getting burned; the emotional pain of feeling different and shutting himself out later in life would be real for them everyday. Wallace writes about a pain that is so real; we feel the parents’ and child’s pain. He places the father away from the accident, but still close enough to hear it. This adds to the story because he knows it was not his fault, but more his wife’s, still he will still hold himself partly responsible for the rest of his life.
The state that the camera is in makes it seem as if Jefferies was injured while taking a picture. The position of a large photograph depicting a crash tells the viewer how Jefferies was injured. Without one word of dialogue, we already know a sizeable amount about the character from one continuous shot. Rear Window is an excellent of example of mise en scene, with the exposition of the photograph telling the viewer something, without it having to be explained to them, while learning more about the character, purely through what appears on the
Another reason why living at home can benefit an individual is that they may have more time spent with loved ones and are more likely to get visits from friends and family. This is important as it keeps that sense of ‘normality’. If the individual was in a care/residential home, they may not get as many visitors as the family/friends may feel uncomfortable in that environment or the family/ friends may be busy during the visiting hours. Another factor is that the individual is able to maintain a little more control over daily routine, which is important as this leaves the individual feeling cared for and listened to. Also the individuals are surrounded by their own possessions with fond memories which make them feel more secure.
I also did many pictures of my family members and friends and in these I wanted to get across their personality. People are so diverse, with different expressions, emotions, skin tones, and ages, and from one picture everyone sees them differently. The strength in my work is the technical skill, especially drawing more than painting. I have worked towards practising and learning to paint, but I still come back to drawing where I feel more comfortable and enjoy this more. One of my weaknesses is that my ideas skip around and very often I do not develop my ideas enough.
The film has a documentary-like atmosphere. Troche shot the film in black and white. The audio is not always synchronized with the video, and one character acknowledges the camera by directly winking at it. After the film opens with Kia’s class discussing the importance of lesbian documentation, the camera follows Max walking in her apartment, sitting on her
