After the plane crashes, Brian knows he needs to make a shelter as soon as possible to protect himself from weather and large and dangerous animals. One of the first things he does is make a new shelter and he decides to builds his shelter against a rock wall “when he went in he found himself in a room about fifteen feet wide and eight to ten feet deep” (Paulsen 61). He also makes a bow to catch fish and fool birds. The first bow fails but soon “He had made a new bow, with slender limbs and a more fluid gentle pull” (Paulsen 118). With the working bow, he could catch and kill fish and birds to eat their meat and make feathered arrows.
George and Lennie ate beans in the campsite in both the novel and the movie. Lennie tried to sneak the dog into the bunk house and George made him put it back. Lennie, in both the novel and the movie, had the same exact characteristics. He was always acting like a child and had very little clue of what was going on around him. Lennie also killed Curley’s Wife in both of them.
Biff and Happy leave Willy alone as they go off with two girls. As the boys go off with these girls, the scene shifts as Willy remembers the night that Biff found out about his affair. In terms of the word “chophouse” there could be a reference to the verb and the noun “chop”. When the audience thinks of the word “chop”, they could imagine a piece of meat, or a person “chopping” something up. The significance of the restaurant being called “Frank’s Chophouse” could be to show the aggression and the violence that is harboured in Willy’s life.
The ending of the novel is significant in showing how the society is unable to comprehend the severity of evil and darkness, it is ended with a very mistaken view, where the officer compared the ordeal of the boys had to go through with a popular book Coral Island, which is a novel featuring an exciting adventure of the 3 stranded boys. Firstly, it shows us that adults are not as wonderful and knowledgeable as the boys deem them to be. Throughout the novel, adults were portrayed as people who knew the solution to every problem, and people who were wise and logical. "Grownups know things," said Piggy. "They ain't afraid of the dark.
There is a fine line between making fun of or mocking an individual with a mental disability and actually truthfully acting out how someone is with a real disability. Again, Hoffman does this very well and does not make the viewer feel as if he is making fun of anyone at all. Tom Cruise also plays his role very well, showing almost no remorse or sympathy towards his brother, Raymond, when they first meet. It takes a certain type of person to be able to act that out completely and make it believable. The entire topic of the movie is a very sensitive one, so Cruise was exceptional in making the viewer believe that he truly just wanted to get his half of the money from Raymond, and not build a relationship with him.
He was said to use his brass knuckles to gain respect, and to make people afraid of him. It was exactly this that made him seem so much more threatening than other boys. However, the Assef we met in the film was an ordinary Afghanistan boy. Though he was a bully, and walked within his circles as if he owned them, he did not seem as frightening as in the book. A characteristic that is truly presented in both the film and book is the fact that Assef is a bully.
In Sullivan’s Travels, the montage of the casualties of the Depression that Sullivan witnesses underscores everything that the movie had previously eluded too. Like Sullivan, the audience does not appreciate how horribly that time affected people and those few seconds articulated the sentiment like no words could. The movie itself, made during the Depression, does what Sullivan realizes he needs to do—make a movie that gets people to laugh through the hard times. As Sullivan says, “There's a lot to be said for making people laugh… It isn't much, but it's better than nothing.” While in Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, there is not one line that sums up the entire movie’s premise, there is a lot more than one montage to show us. The audience sees Mr. Smith fighting for something he believes in, despite everything that suddenly hits him.
Ralph’s ability to persuade the boys to behave civilly was most impressive until the boys slowly began to become savage. Despite Ralph’s strong morals he was still vulnerable to savagery. This is shown when he encounters the pig Chapter 7. This was a surprising change to Ralph in the novel, as it seemed like he could not control his excitement. Saying things like “I hit him!
John Bender likes to make trouble and havoc in the school when he is in detention and somedays I just try to make trouble for no reason. He also likes to insult people, but I don’t really insult people unless I am joking around. He is recognized as a criminal, but I am not so much of a criminal as I am a prankster or an annoying kid. I think that Andrew Clark is like me too. I think this because I am
The other genuine comic spark comes from a washed-up, dissolute rock star named Billy Mack, who is trying for a comeback with a plagiarized Christmas record. Billy says shocking, hilarious things in television and radio interviews, and his casual indifference to proper decorum makes him the most honest character in the film; which is the reason for which I chose this story. Billy doesn't care for what kind of vocabulary he uses and that is what makes him so authentic (Note that he uses the British expression “arse” instead of the American one “ass”). Billy actually reminds me of one of the characters on the British series Shameless. This film had a really good beginning and a not-so-good end, as at the end stops being a romantic comedy and finishes at Heathrow airport as a romantic movie, thus ruining the end.
