I blame myself because I left our home at age 16; she was left there with my mother and her father who weren’t always compatible. I hear things from the public about my sister which vibrates my blood vessels. I want so badly to be the first one that she calls when she has a problem or just needs to talk. I’ve tried to explain myself to her, it seems like she understands me for the moment. When I left I wasn’t thinking about how this may affect her or our relationship in the future.
But what does Roger Ebert say about Casablanca? On his webpage he says: “If we identify strongly with the characters in some movies, then it is no mystery that ‘Casablanca’ is one of the most popular films ever made. It is about a man and a woman who are in love, and who sacrifice love for a higher purpose.” He goes on to say that
I enjoyed the casting choices because the actors and scenery joined to convey a part of the movies theme. It discussed issues that were amenable. As stated in our text by Edward G. Robinson, “an audience identifies with the actors of flesh and blood and heartbeat, as no reader or beholder can identify with even the most artful paragraphs in books or the most inspiring paintings. There, says the watcher, but for some small difference in time or costume or inflections or gait, go I …. And so, the actor becomes a catalyst; he or she brings ignition that spark in every human being that longs for the miracle of transformation”.
I read the non-fiction narrative essay “Girl” by Jane Maher which is about a story about a problem between her and her father and how this issue continued between them until his death. (Maher 1-3). The author story is very doleful since it is a realistic circumstance that Maher been through in her life, and it really impinged on me since I live far away from my family and any topic about parents affects me easily. I wished that the death wasn’t the end of the story, but that is not Maher’s choice, nor the reader’s! Death is the predestined destination for all creations in this entire world, whether they are satisfied or not.
Jackson equally balanced the feelings of grief, anger, and even happiness and warmth into this movie. It was suspenseful and entertaining to watch. Putting all the acting, plot line and the overall quality of the movie, I give this movie thumbs
Mary, you know that I had a boring life before we got together and you have opened my eyes to so many things that I never knew existed. Mary: I love that you feel free and that you are open to try new things, I am just worried that you are going too far. Counselor: Elmer, do you know what event Mary feels may be too much? Elmer: I do not know if it was the first thing that upset her, but after our little disagreement a few weeks ago at the resort is when she started seeing you. Counselor: Mary, is that the first event that upset you?
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind This is the first time I watch Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and I must say it is now one of my favorite movies. It is very original, eccentric, and one of the best alternative movies I have seen so far. The mise-en-scene of the movie was very well thought of and very impressive. Charlie Kaufman did a wonderful job with the script as a sci-fi story which examines humans’ relationships and the role memory has in shaping us and its role in love and heart break. The performance of Jim Carrey was outstanding as the introverted withdrawn Joel; One of his best performances so far.
My mother passed away when I was young and I was impacted greatly by this and the people around me had felt sorry for me but their perspective on the situation was still the same, as if nothing even happened and go on with there lives normally. There is more then just negative perspectives in life, most important one to me is positive perspectives. Now positive perspectives are a great thing. There are a lot of things in life that you have a positive perspective on, for example if a woman gets pregnant there is this part of you where you feel excited and happy and could forget about anything that has happened in your life in that first few minutes of finding out that news. There is something in between negative and positive perspectives that can be described as neutral.
I have had to cope with my crazy and angry nights and I still do everyday. My family is the most important discourse community that I belong too. Conventions were created throughout this divorce process. Some would not be mentioning family fights with others unless they were extremely close, and not bringing it up around my immediate family because everyone has their own opinion and that would only cause fighting. The most important convention I’ve learned through this is how to rely on my self more and take responsibility to help my mother out as much as possible since there is one less person.
Sarcasm appears to be a defining adjective used to describe me, from my sister to my students. I have always felt it was part of my sense of humour but have come to understand it just keeps people at a distance. My separations have had a much bigger emotional impact on me than I was willing to admit or was even aware of. When my wife was away at university during the week, I become focused on work, I even looked forward to her departure on Sunday. The separation was an opportunity for me to have my space back to myself again, but when she returned, I was distant from her, territorial and even resentful of her moving things in the kitchen or around the house.
