The Die Hard Trilogy: McClain An Example Of A Hero In America
.... The fact that he picks
a partner shows some post modern aspects of Hollywood. Both of these facts help
sell movies and help define a hero in America today.
Another aspect that makes McClain a post modern hero in America is the
fact that he to has problems, James Bond was never like this, he always had a
woman by his side, or falling at his feet. People held this man in high esteem,
because he was perfect. However in real life blond bimbos at your feet don't
happen all the time. Post modern heroes have problems McClain even though he is
out saving lives and helping people his wife wants a divorce. People can relate
better .....

How Do We Evaluate Art?
.... we are actually doing comparison. We are
asking ourselves several questions. Is it better than what I had seen before?
Is it creative? Can it be better? Is it professional?
However, not all of our experience is good. There are bad memories.
Our judgement is therefore wrong. Thus, we have to aware that our opinion does
not have a mean of absolute. It is also important to determine with another
factor, knowledge.
Knowledge is from experience. It can be gained through experience. It
can be gained through learning in a form of official education. Knowledge,
similar to experience, can vary according to ages. .....

The Crucible: John Proctor And John Hale - Good Citizen Vs. Good Person
.... had with Abigail. He realized his mistake and was honest and
admitted it to his wife Elizabeth. In the next situation where Proctor is
involved he tells the Reverend Parris why he does not like him, and it also gets
him into trouble. He tells him, “Can you speak one minute without we land in
hell again, I'm sick of hell! (p. 30). He is honest, yet disrespectful to his
reverend. While in court, John Proctor is too honest to the judges. He admits
his guilt of not being a religious Christian and says “ I have once or twice
plowed on Sunday” (p.91) and he also admits not going to church every Sunday. He
also admits that he committed .....

Timeline Of Art
.... process of experiments with possibilities suggested by the post-
impressionist painters.
Cubism:
Cubism, which began very shortly after Fauvism, is exemplified by
Pablo Picasso. In this movement the flattened space including background
and foreground are related in a new and more abrupt manner. The first
effect is of a camera in motion, a kaleidoscopic impression of the solid
portions of the figure. This certain feature can be contrasted to the
impressionist movements' works. Added to this kaleidoscopic quality is
another new element. Picasso and his Cubist colleagues disintegrated the
form into a series of simultaneo .....

Cartoons: Land Of Imagination
.... manipulate not only the physical actions of
a character, but the mental behavior as well. If my recollection serves me
correct, aside from hypnosis, there is nowhere else that this is possible. In
the cartoon world, "anything goes." There are no boundaries to which one is
confined. With a little ingenuity and imagination one can create a place or
being that has never existed before.
Scribble, scribble, squeak, squeak, the colored pencils glide
effortlessly over the white canvas. A dab of golden yellow, a speck of sky blue.
Within several minutes I have create my ideal woman. Blond hair, blue eyes,
wearing a tight fitting .....

Essay On The Movie "Lord Of The Flies"
.... was shot. If the movie was coloured the audience would focus on the
screen often, rather than seeing a black and white screen.
The settings and the props were not prepared well. My first example is that the
boys shirts, were clean everyday. Their clothes should be black and grey,
because of the dirt and all the smoke from the fire. For example Simons' shirt
was a clean as white, when Simon was watching the other boys spill blood out of
the pig. The island was to big, as the book describes it. There was no platform,
and scar as described in the book.
In conclusion, you should watch a coloured version of The Lord of the .....

Krapp's Last Tape: Imagery In Color
.... on a new retrospect" (1629). He had also stored these various tapes
organized in boxes with their location written in a ledger. Yet in his latter
years, there is an apparent decay of this regimental attitude. His very
appearance is an indication of this decline. He is described as wearing "Rusty
black narrow trousers to short for him. Rusty black sleeveless waistcoat.
Surprising pair of dirty white boots. Disordered gray hair. Unshaven. Very
near-sighted (but unspectacled)," which is not the description of an anal
retentive person (1627). Also despite the ledger and the boxes, he still cannot
find the tapes whic .....

The Cherry Orchard: Reality, Illusion, And Foolish Pride
.... As you know, your cherry orchard's being sold to pay your
debts. The auction is on the twenty second of August. But
there's no need to worry, my dear. You can sleep soundly.
There's a way out. Here's my plan. Listen carefully, please.
Your estate is only about twelve miles from town, and the
railway is not very far away. Now all you have to do is break
up your cherry orchard and the land along the river into
building
plots and lease them out for country cottages. You'll then have
an income .....

Moliere's "The Imaginary Invalid"
.... and other "bathroom" related scenes. I originally thought this change was
for comical purposes, but after some additional thought I questioned whether
Argan was imagining his illness or if he really was ill. In the text, by not
having too many bathroom scenes, Argan seems to be imagining his illness (thus,
he is the imaginary invalid). In Panych's stage version, Argan shows several
symptoms of being ill; this definitely confuses the original play by Moliere.
One of the original purposes of the play was to criticize, among other things,
the medical profession in Moliere's time. Now, if Argan really was sick, does
that mean .....

The Crucible: The Characters In The Crucible

probably no knowlage of the trees on his land, he still wanted a peice of the
pie. Proctor wanted always money. He was money hungry and cheap.
Basicly Proctor was a would be if he could be. Proctor was always trying
to fit into the high class crowd, flash his powere and money on the middle class
or poorer people, but when Proctor was around people like Hale (Hale was a well
educated and he stood up for things kind of guy) Proctor would try to act up to
his class but he couldn't really beacause inside he really knew he couldn't.
Then the one life ending, marriage destroyi .....

The Crucible: Hysteria And Injustice
.... inciting incident where Rev. Parris finds his
niece Abigail Williams and his daughter Betty along with his slave Tituba doing
some dance in the forest. Right when he finds them, Betty becomes sick and
won't talk or open her eyes, about this time other people's daughters become
sick too. Rumors spread that witch craft is involved in Betty's illness and the
development of the plot begins. Important to the major development of the plot
is the fact that in the forest, Abigail and the others were just playing like
witches. But they were following Abigail because she wanted to try to put a
curse on a lady named Elizabeth Proctor. .....

The Crucible: The Deterioration Of Salem During The Witch Trials
.... them to dance. The girls also said that they saw members of the town
standing with the devil. A community living in a puritan society like Salem
could easily go into a chaotic state and have a difficult time dealing with
what they consider to be the largest form of evil.
Salem's hysteria made the community lose faith in the spiritual beliefs
that they were trying to strictly enforce. The church lost many of its
parishioners because the interest of the town was now on Abigail because people
wanted to know who was going to be named next. When the church was trying to
excommunicate John Proctor, there were not enough people at churc .....
