- 6061: Soldiers Home
- 'SOLDIER'S HOME': ANOTHER STORY OF A BROKEN HEART He knew he could never get through it all again. "Soldier's Home" "I don't want to go through that hell again." In the works of Ernest Hemingway, that which is excluded is often as significant as that which is included; a hint is often as important and thought- ...
- 6062: The Godfather: Gangster Genre
- ... for success and recognition, but underneath they can express sensitivity and gentleness. The Public Enemy (1931) is one of the earliest gangster films - the second one from Warner Bros. in the thirties. Director William Wellman's. The Public Enemy is toughe, violent and realistic (released before the censorship codes were strictly enforced), although most of the violence is off-screen. The lead character is portrayed as a sexually magnetic, cocky, completely ... whose early environment clearly contributes to the evolving development of his life of adult crime and his inevitable gruesome death. Unlike other films, this one examined the social forces and roots of crime. James Cagney's dynamic, charismatic and magnetic characterization of the murderous thug unfortunately made the film appeare to glamorise criminal activities (although that was not its intent) and made efforts of Hollywood's self-imposed Production Code in the early thirties to strictly censor films (with criminal and sexual subject matter) which depicted undesirable social figures or sexual subjects in a sympathetic or realistic way. After credits ...
- 6063: Hamlet's Inability To Decipher Right From Wrong
- Hamlet's Inability To Decipher Right From Wrong There are many different versions of the story of Hamlet. Most, including Shakespeare’s, address the important issues of adultery, madness, and revenge in relation to Hamlet’s supposed love for Ophelia. Although Hamlet claims to love Ophelia, his crazed and sometimes violent actions would suggest otherwise. Even though Hamlet has been portrayed as a “…man who could not make up his ...
- 6064: Hedda Gabler: “Evaluate The Achievements Of Act I As Exposition”
- ... play revolves around its characters, and to this end the respective characters and the relationships between them are also introduced effectively. By careful examination of the text, we can formulate an understanding of Act I’s success as an exposition to Hedda Gabler. Most importantly, an exposition of a play must be able to establish some degree of suspense and dramatic tension. To such an end, Act I is relatively successful. Hedda’s pregnancy is hinted at : directly through Jorgen mentioning Hedda’s “blossoming” twice, and subtly through Hedda’s clothes which are indicated in the stage directions to be “loosely-fitting”, which does not suit her “elegant figure”. The ridiculous reasoning of Jorgen and Hedda’s ...
- 6065: Nicholas Ferrar
- ... in Huntingdonshire, England. After Ferrar was ordained as a deacon, he retired and started his little community. Ferrar was given help and support with his semi-religious community by John Collet, as well as Collet’s wife and fourteen children. They devoted themselves to a life of prayer, fasting and almsgiving (Matthew 6:2,5,16). The community was founded in 1626, when Nicholas was 34 years old. Banning together, they ... the poor. They wrote books and stories dealing with various aspects of Christian faith and practice. The memory of the community survived to inspire and influence later undertakings of Christian communal living, and one of T.S. Eliots’ Four Quartets is called "Little Gidding." Nicholas was a bookbinder and he taught the community the craft as well as gilding and the so-called pasting printing by means of a rolling press. ...
- 6066: Death of a Salesman : A Social Criticism
- ... No one, not even Miller himself, can fully agree on who Willy Loman is or what his motivations are; whether or not he is a tragic hero, or precisely what the show says about today's American society. It may be "an attack on capitalism" (Weales xv) but certainly "it cannot... be reduced to an old-fashioned propaganda play" (Weales xv) by any stretch. The inability its audience to precisely pin down its message is at the heart of the play's success, for everyone who sees or reads it will think something different about the protagonist, the plot, the theme, even the genre. As with all great literature, the opinions continue to grow and change with each generation so that the book will never be closed on Death of a Salesman. Because it would take a short tome to discuss all the classic arguments on Miller's excellent work, the focus of this theme will be on Salesman's value as a comment on society. Willy does not meet America's twentieth century economic standards of success, therefore he is seen ...
- 6067: Are UFOs Real?
- ... mysteries of the world today and has been for quite some time. From as far back as biblical times people have generally believed in the existence of demons, ghosts dragons, fairies and yes-even UFO's. For some they interpret certain parts of the bible as UFO's being seen. One odd thing is that if UFO's have been around since biblical times then why in the 1990's have they still not been proven? So even though some believe that UFO's were mentioned throughout the bible, just when did ...
- 6068: Conflict In Vietnam
- ... Vietnams goal was to unify both north and south Vietnam leaving one communist state even if it meant using military force, at this time the cold war was still going on an since the u.s.a. Feared the spread of communist in Asia, John F. Kennedy gave economic and military aid to south Vietnam in order to prevent the takeover of the south by the north although all though the ... states where not officially involved they where the force behind the south. The North Vietnamese resented the United States getting involved and on august 2nd 1964 three Vietnamese torpedo boats opened fire on an u.s. destroyer stationed 30 miles off the coast of Vietnam in International waters. The next day Johnson gave the order to "attack with the objective of destroying any hostile forces." Retaliation air attacks began that very ... lot to do with the cold war against communism. America believed that if north Vietnam would be able to turn the south communist as well then Vietnam could become very powerful, after all the U.S. had just witnessed the French be defeated by Vietnam. If Vietnam was to become a more powerful country then they would be able to persuade other Asian countries to become communist as well. I ...
- 6069: Adult Education In The U.s.
- ... concept of central learning theory is self-directed learning. He (1985) said that because the concept is so central to what adult education is all about, self-directed learning has been one of the field's high-interest topics for more than a decade (Mezirow, 1988). Many people like researchers theorists and so on have all asked the pistons: what is self-directed learning? What kinds of people are engaged in ... paper, the researcher is approaching methods to help adult learners to develop themselves with strong confidence. So it is very important to develop skills increasing adult learners through self-directness and self-efficacy. Since Brandura¡¯s (1997) original paper, self-efficacy theory has been applied in education settings to various grade levels (e.g., Elementary, Secondary, Post-secondary), content domains, and student ability levels. The author will not apply self-efficacy ... the frequent necessity of maintaining institutional standards and, as Mezirow (1985) points out, the impossibility of freely choosing among objectives unless all possible objectives are known. Some writers have pointed out that Mocker and Spear's model could be viewed as a continuum rather than as a matrix Some self-directed learning takes place in comparative isolation in secluded libraries. Other self-directed learners engage in more interpersonal communication (with ...
- 6070: The Study Of Imagery In Adrian
- ... good sense of humor. A perfect example for a use of irony is seen in the description of the psychologist of the main character, Lenora. After all, she was just a psychologist. God ! She wasn t ! Apart from Pandora [his infatuated love] she was probably the loveliest woman I have ever spoken to. I found it hard to take my eyes off her black suede shoes with high heels. (p. 35) Before the entrance of Adrian to the psychologist s room, he obviously does not expect much of a physical appearance. However, after he enters the room, ironically, Lenora turns out to be a smashing woman. Another use of irony is present in Adrian s description of his mother in the new year s eve: As she slopped wine into a plastic glass for me, I could have a chance to take a close look at her. Her lips ...
