- 3621: Schindler’s List 2
- The paper I decided to do was on “Schindler’s List”. I have seen this movie four times and yet had not really noticed the many ways in which the director, Steven Spielberg, used the camera to emphasis a “million words”. It was interesting, when ... he kissed this Jewish girl. His cellmate makes the remark “ Did your prick fall off”, the cellmate begins to laugh, and Schindler joins him in the laughter. Suddenly the camera pans up to Oskar Schindler’s face. His face shows a man that is no longer laughing but, without words, you can see in his face that he doesn’t find the remark humorous. Further, the close up on his expression reveals a man that has a revelation. The revelation is that he is horrified that Jewish people are thought of in this way. ...

And then: 'If you could hear ... sent to fight are being sent to their death; something as inevitable as death from cancer. The slow and painful death associated with cancer is likened to dying on the battlefield where those who aren't killed instantly are left to suffer horribly. Just like Owen’s gassed soldier. The futility of war is shown in the first part of the poem where we see the soldiers, fatigued and wounded, ...

- 3626: Satire Or Tragedy - Macbeth
- William Shakespeare wrote four great tragedies, the last of which was written in 1606 and titled Macbeth. This "tragedy", as it is considered by societal critics of yesterday's literary world, scrutinizes the evil dimension of conflict, offering a dark and gloomy atmosphere of a world dominated by the powers ofdarkness. Macbeth, more so than any of Shakespeare's other tragic protagonists, has to face the powers and decide: should he succumb or should he resist? Macbeth understands the reasons for resisting evil and yet he proceeds with a disastrous plan, instigated by the ... six parts: plot, character, diction, thought, spectacle, and song. Most important is the plot, the structure of the incidents. Tragedy is not an imitation of men, but of action and life. It is by men's actions that they acquire happiness or sadness. Aristotle stated, in response to Plato, that tragedy produces a healthful effect on the human character through a katharsis, a "proper purgation" of "pity and terror." A ...
- 3627: Mao Zedong
- Mao Zedong In the early 1900’s as China emerged from a half of a century of revolution and moved toward a place of economic development and social change, Mao Zedong (Wade -- Giles: Mao Tse Tung) its principle revolutionary thinker and for many years its unchallenged leader, held a critical place in the History of the country’s reemergence. He did not play a dominant role throughout the whole struggle. In the early years of the Chinese Communist Party he was a secondary figure but not a irdisregardable one. Even after the 1400’s (except maybe during the cultural revolution) the vital decisions were not his alone. Looking at the period from the establishment of the Chinese Communist Party in 1921 to Mao’s Death in 1976, one ...
- 3628: Atomic Bomb
- ... taken such a drastic measure. Was it entirely necessary that we drop such a devastating weapon? Yes, it was. First, look at what was going on at the time the decision was made. The U.S had been fighting a massive war since 1941. Morale was most likely low, and resources were probably at the same level as morale. However, each side continued to fight, and both were determined to win ... bring the war to a quick end, with a minimum of casualties. What would have happened had the A-bomb not been used? The most obvious thing is that the war would have continued. U.S forces; therefore, would have had to invade the home island of Japan. Imagine the number of casualties that could have occurred if this would have happened Also, our forces would not only have to fight ... the enemy. As mentioned before, it is a fact that some civilians had been ready to fight our military with spears! What made it possible that the Japanese would resort to using spears?

- 3629: Writing Styles of Poe and Hoffman
- Writing Styles of Poe and Hoffman All writers have different styles of getting their point across. In particular some like to use the art of the grotesque. E.T.A Hoffman is a perfect example of this type of writing. Hoffman was and still is probably one of the most renowned grotesque writers who ever lived. Wolfgang Kayser makes some interesting points about Hoffman ... of writing in general. Though many points were made, I have chosen the three that best relate to more familiar sources in literature and film as well.

This can be found in many of today’s horror movies. A good example would be “I Know What You Did Last Summer.” In this film, the writer takes a regular fisherman and turns him into a monster. Giving him features like being ...
