Neill Blomkamp’s allegorical sci-fi action adventure District 9 manages to fit a number of trenchant themes and issues relating to technology and politics within its unusual structure and audacious tone. Depicting a fictionalized world in which a derelict alien ship floats above Johannesburg, South Africa, with its indigent alien population (colloquially called ‘prawns’) segregated into districts and marginalized by its people, District 9 uses its setting in a powerful way to present a startling critique of the African apartheid that occurred in the late half of the twentieth century. In addition to its social criticisms about apartheid and ...

The male and female perspectives in works of art are mostly expressed through the characteristics given to the characters and the themes.

Theater is thought to have started in the 6th century BC in Athens, as a form of classical entertainment (Goldhill 54).

A Tool of the Hero

The topic of my essay addresses how the wisdom of Odysseus is a tool he uses in order to complete his tasks as a heroic character. Without wisdom, which is not found in every hero or even heroic leader, this character would not exist; the poem would not exist. There would be in all essence no need for the story. This is why wisdom is so very important to the plot, character development and “moral of” the story. It was Yu’s article that gave me the inspiration for this topic. When reading the article I was drawn to ...

The movie i.e. Deadpool targeted a lucrative market as the movie focused on the two groups like comic-book cognoscenti and hormonal teenage boys. The movie on one hand includes humor content and on the other hand, it contains violence. The sense of humor in the movie at the same time is appalling and immature.

“Los Vendidos” written by Luiz Valdes is a one-act play that depicts and ridicules the stereotypes of Mexicans in California. It is a satiric play that shows the social inequality in the American society in the 1960-ies. So much has been said about the discrimination of the Afro-Americans, but I even could not imagine Latinos and Mexicans facing a similar situation. This play attracts attention to the social issues that have not been solved even after 40 years. Although it is full of ridiculous and rather witty moments, the message of the play is serious and profound. The author ...

The social aspect of life is equally important as any other facet of human life.

A social network comprises of the people who are close to an individual, who can share various aspects of life, and who a person turns to in case of a problem. The network can range from family members to friends, but they all have one thing in common, that they are joined by friendship. My social network comprises largely of my ...

The painting contains a number of visual symbols, which have already become some kind of the archetypes of modern society. The Son of Man (see ...

Having rediscovered the traditional German fairy-tale about Snow White and the wicked queen, Neil Gaiman introduces a perspective, quite different from others previously expressed. In his story Snow, Glass, Apples Snow White and the queen appear in different colors. They are both strong, and they both appear to implement their powers in their own ways.

A collaborative workspace is a shared workspace in an environment that is interconnected, and all individuals in different locations can interact with each other (Garrett 14004).

The British novelist, critic and essayist Virginia Stephen Woolf is considered one of the most authentic writers of England in the period between the First and the Second World Wars. Being discontented with the novels on the basis of the well-known, actual and apparent, Woolf went on her own experimental way. Walking along this path, the writer discovered a more internal, subjective interpretation of life experience, which is reflected in all of her creative works. It is also worth mentioning about the impact of such famous people such as Henry James, Marcel Proust and James Joyce on her work. ...

After evaluating all three of these excellent stories, I have determined that the winner of this fiction contest must be “Rock Springs” by Richard Ford. Telling the story of a father on the run from the law, attempting to start a new life for himself and his daughter, “Rock Springs” does a tremendous job of showcasing the unfairness of justice, and the inability for people to truly escape their sins. For its incredible command of character, its thematic richness, and the endlessly compelling prose, “Rock Springs” is the clear winner of this contest. Ford centers “Rock Springs” around the ...

Dossey breaks Nightingale’s personality down into these four factors, using her life and work as a template to explain those personality traits. For instance, Nightingale is determined to be introverted due to her desire to be alone in ...

Third person writing is quite simply a form of observational experience. It is talking “about” someone’s experiences, thoughts and movements. It is an external viewing of a person’s experience as opposed to having a first-hand, through my emotions and “walk-in-my-shoes” experience. Imagine when you are writing first-hand that you are sitting with a typewriter behind the eyeballs of the character that is talking; now with third person writing, you are sitting behind your own eyeballs, but this time you are looking out and writing about the character in front of you. You can guess what goes on ...

Introduction

Ethics came from the Greek word ‘ethos,’ or character. In the modern context, ethics refer to the study of normative behavior. It is commonly understood as standards of behavior that ought to be followed under certain circumstances and the moral reasoning behind such actions.

In fact, there are good people that exhibit unethical behavior, especially when under pressure. Professor and author, Denis Collins, for instance, observed that there are many good individuals who engage in unethical behavior because they ...

The forest may symbolize the dark period of life – the period of decline, depression, loss of hope, etc. It may also symbolize a time of issues, problems represented through the trees and grass, ...

Grace Paley, in the work “A Man Told Me The Story of his Life” allows an immigrant to tell a hard wrenching version of his life story, in a few lines. The authors writing style, which is stripped down, and extremely bare, is used to accentuate the otherness of the main character, which places the theme of discrimination at the center of the story’s theme. Thus, Paley subtly makes a point about discrimination, the perpetuation of stereotypes, and the way that it impacts lives through the Vincente character. Though Vincente is a Spanish name, and it can be ...

The Main Features of Introverts' behavior in the social environment

As is known, introversion is one of the most common categories or indicators to measure personality traits. Introverts are people whose personality traits are very different from those of other people, who can also be called extroverts. Introverts tend to accumulate their energy and direct it to their inner world, while extroverts waste their energy on the interaction with the outside world. If an extrovert needs a constant dialogue with the people, an introvert can successfully do without it. An introvert is capable of minimal contact, which is also necessary, but it happens rarely and only in the companies ...

Introduction

The nature of "The Cherry Orchard", in terms of the genre has always been controversial. Often the play is defined as a "tragicomedy", or an "an ironic tragicomedy." However, it is vital to understand what genre the play is as it defines the code of reading the play and the characters. What does it mean to see elements of tragedy in the play? This would mean to a certain extent agree with the characters’ originality, their sincere and true suffering. However, it is impossible to see any strong trait in characters that are "weak-willed", "aching", "whining", and have "lost ...

Analysis

The article ‘Barriers to Parental Involvement in Education: An Explanatory Model’ covers the issue of the parental involvement and characteristic features. Nowadays more and more schools establish a program of the parent involvement. Though, the influence of the established relationship between parents and teacher, on the one hand, and parents and children, on the other hand, produces more and more positives outcomes, there are still barriers, which serve as a negative impact in this process.

What part(s) of the article do you agree with and disagree with the most? Why?

I totally agree with the statement that the parental involvement in the teaching-learning process may vary depending on different factors. It is too generalized ...

Japan is reported to have the world’s third largest economy, which gives it an essential role in the global community. This calls for the need to understand the Japanese people’s self-concept and how they hold themselves up as individuals and as members of the society.

It is observed that people normally hold a different perception of themselves as individuals, and as a social group member. Consequently, ...

The Lord of the flies written by William Golding and Inferno by Dante Alighieri are allegorical books that expound common themes and similitude in the usage of styles.

In essence, the two novels delve to answer the question as to who is the real enemy of humankind. Though the two authors dexterously use different stylistic devices to answer the question, the convergence is that man himself is the worst enemy to each other. According ...

Thesis reading 1: the characters depict the loneliness they feel after they have lost love and all meaning of love, each action they do in their daily life tries to fill that hole which only leads to more misery.

It was a pleasure reading this article. The concepts were a welcome review of sound’s role in filmmaking. ‘Designing a Movie For Sound’ by Randy Thom was thorough.. Normally, in the world of film today, audiences expect ‘nice’ songs to accompany story. These musical sound-bytes, designed by movie-makers, pander to their wishes, thus – contributing nothing of a shared, integrated structure to the overall mise-en-scene of the film. In stunning contrast, Thom discussed the legendary, extraordinary sound design of the movie, Apocalypse Now, describing how Coppola imbued the film into the sound, giving the characters “the opportunity to listen ...

The Theme of Dystopian Society in the works of Orwell, Huxley, and Bradbury

Introduction All the three books, 1984 that was published in 1948 and written by George Orwell, Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World that was written in 1931, and Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451 are the examples of dystopian literature.

Gilgamesh and Odysseus are well-known heroes from old epics of Mesopotamian and Greek cultures, correspondingly. The two characters have similar traits, such as courage and physical strength. However, there are also differences between the two of them. Each hero’s traits divulge fascinating information about their cultural ideals. Additionally, cross-referencing fictional individuals with real-life cultural ideals is worthwhile when examining any culture, at any point in history. Contemporary American culture, for example, appears to value physical attributes and attractiveness, more than anything. Examining Gilgamesh and Odysseus can be helpful not only in revealing details about the different cultural ideals ...

Philosophy

As such, it is important to have the ability to recognize logical fallacies in the thought processes of other people to avoid making similar mistakes. In this paper, I will focus on one of the 17 logical fallacies that I provided in my initial presentation-argumentum ...

Many people think that only Romeo and Juliet made a wrong decision which led to such a terrible end of the story, but this is not true. In this story many people interfered in the relations of these ...

Discussion on Hispanic Poetry

It was a great delight to read the book “Platero and I” by Juan Ramón Jiménez as it appeared to be light, easy and gentle. I do not remember coming across a story in which the author puts so much effort into describing an animal that is not only his friend but also a soul mate. I enjoyed reading those paragraphs which are dedicated to the description of the donkey. Jiménez has chosen such tender and warm words to describe Platero that every reader will immediately fall in love with this soft and hairy donkey “made ...
