I thought that the film "Y Tu Mama Tambien" by Alfonso Cuaron was very interesting. It dealt with the issues of love, sex, friendship, class/economics but that's not what the film was all about. It was more than just about two teenage boys on a road trip with a woman whom they want to have sexual intercourse with. As stated above, I feel the film was mostly about what isn't known rather than what is. You may think you know someone but in reality you don't.
After they finish, Mod explains to the Dude that she was using him to concede a child. Obviously he was not given money in exchange for sexual favours but, the Dude, (much similar to real prostitutes) was used for sex. The Dude is continuously used by his friends and business associates through out the whole film. Although presented as a laidback cool character, the Dude's title is representative of how he is seen by everyone around him. <br> In the film, Bowling is seen as a man's activity, a place where go to compete and get away from the world.
Holden’s Analysis The transcript that I chose was from a book called “A Catcher In The Rye”. I chose the section in the book where the star of the book Holden, just got a prostitute and she is entering his hotel room. He starts to back down and make excuses not to have to sleep with her. I chose this section because so far in the book this is the only section in the book that has caught my attention because it’s so shocking. During the script Holden’s tone very nervous.
Miss Campbell March 28, 2011 English 2201 Adam loder Comparison Essay The movies Twelfth Night and She’s the Man both have some similarities and differences that the Authors expressed in their own ways. The ways the author uses these is through setting and tone. The movie Twelfth Night was a play written by William Shakespeare. The setting is the time and place of where the action takes place.

The film not only highlights the ways in which gender and sexuality are constructed but also takes the norms and truths about heteronormative society and tags them queer. Brandon's secret escaped and she was violently raped and murdered by two ex-cons. The film's significance has been linked to its portrayal of a same-sex relationship without any reference to the history of the gay civil rights movement. This emphasizes the tragic aspect of the love story, Most of the characters lead a dull and meaningless existence in a desolate small town. Many of them drink at the local bar and abuse recreational drugs to pass the time.
Holden was bored and wide awake in his hotel room in New York. Holden decided to go to the bar and hang out but in the elevator the worker offers him a prostitute, Holden decided that he should so he talked his way into something he did not really want. Even today these two things that Holden got into are unacceptable, a minor smoking and buying a prostitute. The reader knows that The Catcher in the Rye is for a younger but mature audience because of how Holden acts throughout this book. The reason for this thesis is because of how he acts and the decisions or situations could be taken the wrong way

Actor Rob Lowe set up boxing matches with Tom Cruise and Emilio Estevez in the hallway outside their hotel rooms while the trio was making 1983's The Outsiders - so they could let off steam after tense days on set. Lowe reveals he'd pick fights with his pals and turn up on set with fresh bruises and cuts - but there was one co-star they'd never invite to join in the rough play. He says, "It was pretty much Emilio (Estevez), me, Tom (Cruise)... You didn't wanna mess with (Patrick) Swayze; he was too gnarly. "Tom and I really fought a lot; he was one of those guys that was Ok until you really hit him hard. If you got in a hard shot at Tom you were likely to get killed."
Initially, Ryan and his group were kept out of the camp, where it was learned that its members were practicing for religious songs and dances. This trip ignited Jones’ own fear of a government conspiracy that was out to get him, later that night; the Ryan delegation attended a reception in the pavilion. While the party received a friendly reception, Jones said he felt like a dying man and ranted about government conspiracies and martyrdom as he decried attacks by the press and his enemies. Two Peoples Temple members, Vernon Gosney and Monica Bagby, made the first move for defection that night. In the pavilion, Gosney passed a note to Don Harris (mistaking him for Ryan), reading "Dear Congressman, Vernon Gosney and Monica Bagby.
Pepper’s” at first, but decided against it due to obvious, potential lawsuit reasons, but the concept was truly unique. Instead of marketing themselves as the Beatles, they created a fictitious concert band. The way it was organized was different too; the songs are all synced, like they are really performing a concert on tour. But that wasn’t the only illusion within the album; their new psychedelic sound, sampled into the public with Penny Lane and Strawberry Fields Forever, skyrocketed, blowing the minds of everyone who purchased this record. The Beatles hard work became noticed with this album, and so did their increasing interest in drugs.
