- 17882: Raw Deal: Film Techniques
- ... is her face, a result of low-key lighting. The use of this type of lighting is used to increase the intensity of the scene and define the mood. By directing their attention to Pat’s face, the audience can concentrate on her facial expressions and sense her fear. The direction of the light also plays a key role in creating a successful visual image. An example of this is the use of front-lighting and back-lighting in the scene on the boat where Joe is talking to Pat about their new married life. The camera focuses on a side view of Pat’s face. There is a light shining from the window behind her, directly pointing at the clock hanging on the wall to her left. There is also a light shining directly in her face and the ... almost becomes the character. Indirect point of view brings us close to the character and action so we become intimately involved in what is happening. The last type of point of view is the director’s interpretive point of view, in which the director controls our viewpoint.

- 17883: Comparison Between Piano Concert by Barbara Wieman and Sacramento Chamber Orchestra
- ... we could call this consonant. The music seemed to flow and had a great rhythm. This piece was romantic in nature and probably that is why it was written in the romantic era. C. Debussy ‘s Feux d'artifice (fireworks) was the next piece played. The harmony was very obscured in this piece of music. The theme trying to be presented in this piece was as if fireworks were going off ... and become very slow in tempo. This piece seemed as if it were trying to tell a story. Alot of people seemed as if the were going to sleep. The last piece was changed from S. Prokofieff to Chopin's Ocean Atrium piece. This piece had rhapsodic melodies giving the illusion that the piece might have been improvised. It was very moving and flowing using melody and harmony. Very pleasing and also from the ...
- 17884: The Color Of Water - A Search For Identity
- The American Heritage Dictionary defines identity as the distinct personality of an individual. Many factors make up one's identity, such as race, one's relationship with society, and religion. People seek other people who with they can identify. One must interact with others and learn from his interests and their responses to find a suitable group. The process of ... one perceives his identity through feedback from others as well as through his own thoughts and emotions. One aspect of identity where feedback can be given almost instantaneously is race, as it involves a person's skin color. Young children often ignore each others' races unless they are taught or given reason to do otherwise. McBride's race came to his attention at an early age. He noticed that both ...

At times the sexton would insinuate a reason behind the veil but ... was removed, the sorrow and love would be dead. This might be how Reverend Hooper expressed the veil. Father Hooper might have also used the veil as a friend and a device to test Elizabeth's love for him. The black veil might have given Mr. Hooper friendship if he was lonely and without a mate. He could test Elizabeth to see if an object would come between them and their ...
- 17886: Jesus: The First Anarchist
- ... dollar, mouths the American government. The bosses put their hands on bibles and take office, they put their hands on bibles and swear to be truthful and honest and follow the teachings of the people's God. But are they following God's will? Have they ever been? JESUS: AN ANARCHIST? Throughout history Jesus Christ has been regarded as a revolutionary, but an anarchist? Yes, the answer. As time has passed and covered the once passionate spirit in ... through the eye of a needle than for one who is rich to enter the kingdom of God," said Jesus to his disciples in one of many stories in which he shunned wealth and society's view of 'success'. We see in the story of the poor widow's contribution Jesus' message of devaluing money, and placing the true importance on the spirit in which it is given. We see ...
- 17887: The War Against Athletes
- ... the press brings when a famous person is suspected of wrongdoing. The suspicion feeds on itself, until some anarchist reporter brings it to a rolling boil by exposing the entire scandal. In our case, it¹s the Supreme Court doing the cooking now, and the problem has jumped from the frying pan into the fire. In Don Nardo¹s Drugs and Sports he goes to explain that an athlete might use drugs to enhance their athletic ability. (Nardo, p.65) Steroids, muscle enhancers, and other performance drugs have been suspected of playing an important ... drug testing is being questioned. There are endless ways to overcome the difficulties of the testing system (Tawar, p.2). Private enterprises are offering drug-negative containers of urine for an easy answer to student¹s problems. Some even list ways of bypassing the system. Precautions are taken by examinees, but this only compounds the problem. Students feel violated to start off with, and look for ways to feel vindicated, ...
- 17888: Phyllis Wheatley
- ... own personal tragedies. These women, like the many viewers who watch Church-TV everyday, have lost everything and are left with nothing. In an attempt to fill the void in their lives, left by Bradstreet’s burnt house and Wheatley’s treatment as a slave, they turn to the Christian faith that at times seems as empty as the faith that can be commercialized and sold by dramatists on television. In analyzing "Here Follows Some Verses ... of Our House" and "On Being Brought from Africa to America," I will consider Christian faith as means of coping with nothingness, rather than a pious way of life. While making references to Anne Bradstreet’s similar development of faith, I will contend that Phyllis Wheatley’s Christianity seen is sought out for her own purposes in times of feeling nullity rather than a confident belief or trust in God ...
- 17889: The Satire of Jonathan Swift Revealed
- ... dignity and splendor of royalty and the upper class (McKendrick,2). As a result, English society held themselves in very high regards, feeling that they were the elite society of mankind. In his novel, Gulliver's Travels, Jonathan Swift satirizes this English society in many ways. In the novel, Swift uses metaphors to reveal his disapproval of English society. Through graphic representations of the body and it's functions, Swift reveals to the reader that grandeur is merely an illusion, a facade behind which English society of his time attempted to hide from reality. On his first voyage, Swift places Gulliver in a land of miniature people where his giant size is meant as a metaphor for his superiority over the Lilliputians, thus representing English society's belief in superiority over all other cultures. Yet, despite his belief in superiority, Swift shows that Gulliver is not as great as he imagines when the forces of nature call upon him to relieve ...
- 17890: Teen Drinking
- ... solve this problem. Teens drink for many reasons. Social pressure is one of the main reasons that teens today use and abuse alcohol. Pressure from their peers can overwhelm them into using alcohol. In today’s society many people are unaware of how important social status can be to a teen. School has become a popularity contest and unfortunately the majority of the popular kids drink. This leads the less popular ... front. If a kid does not have any way of blowing off steam in a creative way, he or she will likely turn to alcohol to let loose and relieve some tension. Many of today’s role models drink. I will use the example of the most popular movie of the summer, “I Know What You Did Last Summer." Kids see the high school kids in this movie drinking and having ... be. Parents can add to the idea that drinking is a good thing in many ways. Many parents come home at the end of the day and drink a martini while they go over tomorrow’s presentation to the board.
