Synopsis A

I agree with some parts of Synopsis A that refers to a chain of command being created to ensure a more systematic management of the Band of Merrymen. However, I believe that the solution does not provide specifics as to how revenues can be collected. I believe that it would be best to place leaders nearby the towns so that they can be easily identified by the wealthy, which will then lead them to avoid the areas where they know that the band’s leaders are located. I think that the solution is incomplete without ...

Analysis of the poem “The Blue Bowl” by Jane Kenyon

Jane Kenyon’s poem “The Blue Bowl” is a short but strong work, representing the feelings about loss and death. Initially, it seems to be quite a simple and explicit poem, as the author tells us about the death of a cat in the first line:

with his bowl.” (Kenyon) However, with further reading and restating the poem, we realize that it has a much deeper sense. It is filled with symbols, which show us the inevitability of death. The title of the poem is a clear evidence that the blue bowl is a symbol, which must be explained ...

(Student’s Full Name) The problem that Robin Hood faces is his need to conclude his crusade against the High Sheriff of Nottingham by getting rid of Prince John, who his is most powerful ally.

Furthermore, the Sheriff has the “money and the men” and were starting ...

After analyzing the company’s strategy, structure, environment, culture, conflict and power relations, one find out that many things need to be put in place in the firm, in concern with these areas to enable the firm to be a market leader again.

Created by the artist-writer duo of Bob Kane and Bill Finge, the superhero character of Batman first made an appearance in Issue Number 27 of the popular DC Comics’ series Detective Comics in May 1939.

There are very few children who grew up in the 1990s who does not remember watching Disney’s “Aladdin.” They remember the image of endless sand dunes, hidden caverns, flying carpets, a beautiful princess, a handsome hero and, of course, a big blue genie. Disney’s Aladdin garnered a great deal of praise and theatrical success. “Aladdin,” unlike previous Disney animated features, where the characters and stories were in some fictitious worlds and kingdoms, “Aladdin” was going to bring to life elements of a real world location. “Aladdin” takes place in the Arabian Desert. Brining this story to life, ...

Robin Wood together with his band made up of merry men had an entirely successful round of activity in their first year. Generally, with the new recruits coming from every corner of England, Robin had in fact accomplished his aim of strengthening its numbers. Even though he was now satisfied with the large membership of his organization, he came to the realization that he had not be made necessary preparations for accommodating the now massively overflowing members of the entity. Several challenges were abounding for Robin Wood such as inadequate provisions and limited finances. (Dess, Lumpkin, Eisner, & McNamara, 2014)

Gun control is one of the most important measures that all States have had to take since the public took hold of arms and used them at their will. The Many States implemented very strict gun laws so that the crime rates can drop and people can feel safer. The strictness of these laws has occurred in the light of the recent school shootings; gun control has become stricter and more closely watched than it was in the past. Privately owned guns circulate at a number around 250 million (Clark and Barrabi). These are licensed guns which are used ...

Art can be, and is, often seen and understood in many contexts. In museums, visual arts are generally pleasing, and looked forward to with great anticipation. Musical art, in concert halls, is seen the same way. There is performance art, like that of the choreographer Anze Skrube, that is in high demand. Graffiti is another kind of visual/performance art, most of it connected with gangs, but not always, when considering the work of Banksy and other artists who try to do something positive with their talent. Art can be defined in two ways, according to Adajian. One of its ...

The doctrine of direct effect under the European Law is a principle that allows the EU laws, regulations directives and treaties to apply directly to the nationals of the Member States of the EU without necessarily being incorporated into the national laws through acts of legislation (Ward 74). Under this doctrine, national courts are under a strict obligation to recognize and eforce the EU laws to confer rights on the nationals of those states where their rights have been infringed by their states or state corporations (Conway 216). According to Fisher, this doctrine deals with the determination of the ...

He provides for those who are oppressed by robbing the rich and giving it to the poor. His goal is to cause unrest in the state so that the Sheriff can be discredited. Eventually, he recruits too many ...

In this project my purpose is to analyze the changes that have taken place in the film portrayals of Batman between the original Batman: The Movie feature from 1966 and the trilogy that was directed by Christopher Nolan, which ended with The Dark Knight Rises. My major question was whether or not the shift in tone from campy to dark and introspective was a sign of shifts in American culture. The subquestions included such inquiries as whether or not the movies’ success tracked with their ability to mirror the slow darkening in the cultural mood and whether the writing ...

While the films in the Batman cycle speak powerfully for themselves, the reception of the films – and the resulting commentary – go a long way toward showing the different culture in which the movies were made, and which they reflect. In 1965, when the original Batman: The Movie came out, the focus was on action and humor. A review from the time (Variety Staff) indicated that the film is “packed with action, clever sight gags, interesting complications and goes all out on bat with batmania” (Variety Staff, web). The reviewers also noticed that the “script retrieves every trick from the ...

Analysis of the title of the play “A Raisin in the Sun”

Introduction The title of the play, “A Raisin in the Sun” has in depth meaning based on the literal outlook. First, we can look at the meaning of Raisin. A raisin is a dried grape. So, when we look at dried grapes, when left in the sun, the probability is that they will get worse in such a way that, a person might not admire them. The title thus has a direct connection to the story which is about dreams and realizing them in life. Many times, people often forget about their dreams letting distractions come on their way ...

If you look at the portrayal of superheroes in film over the past three or four decades, it is clear that the characters are becoming darker in their personal nature, their motivations and the way they act in the films. If you look at the way that Adam West acts in the Batman film from the 1960s and in the television program, it is fairly clear that the emphasis of the show is campy in nature, and while his Batman does state lessons in a paternal sort of tone, the humor of the show makes the whole thing seem ...

Questions and Essays

Question #2 It might be argued that the character of Ned Kelly is a Robin Hood-like character. A 19th century outlaw, Carey illustrates him as the conventional bad guy with positive qualities. This is why it can be said that Kelly is a Robin Hood like character, as Robin Hood executed certain aspects that were not necessarily morally correct, or ethically right - but nevertheless allowed for positive outcomes. Much of the novel consists of Ned encountering bad luck and being manipulated and lied to. As such, he is forced into the seemingly bad guy lifestyle ending up in ...

In Robin Evans’s “In Front of lines that leave Nothing Behind,” the writer argues that architectural reviewers tend to perceive architecture as forms of “iconology” that needs to be examined to determine the “meaning” that exists “behind, beneath, or within” the “subjects” that they are critiquing (482). Furthermore, Evans explains that the “critic” or architectural reviewer often goes in “search of origins, essences, intentions, motives, causes” of the “appearances” presented by an architectural design (482). However, one may not always depend on the “architect’s” “intention” to “orient” his work “towards us,” especially as ...

All human beings inevitably and naturally desire happiness, but what constitutes happiness opinions usually differ. People believe that happiness may come from the acquisition of good things and objects, but as to what things are good, and why, there is very little agreement. Many seek happiness by acquiring real estate, huge houses and luxury furnishings, nice clothes, in other words, everything that money can purchase. Other individuals seek their happiness by psychological road, drinking, eating, and lovemaking, and, therefore, use their bodies as channels for getting sensuous gratification. Others seek happiness by way of leadership and power in the ...

Once, mankind believed that the Earth is the center of the solar system, and the entire universe as well. Though tempting as it seems, this narcissistic view was perceived due to the observable motions of the visible heavenly bodies in the sky. However, as mankind learns to invent more powerful tools to understand the cosmos, they learn not just the fact that the sun is the center of the solar system, but also the place of the Earth in the universe. In fact, the view of our place in the universe gradually changed as science and technology cemented over ...
