Does Romeo Behave Rashly While Juliet Shows Superior Judgement?
Number of words: 613 - Number of pages: 3.... to Friar Lawrence's
pleas, to leave the tomb and come with him to a nunnery. Instead she tells
him "Go, get thee hence, for I will not away." She tries to poison herself
but there is none left. When she hears the watch coming she grabs Romeo's
dagger and fatally stabs herself. Juliet is so upset she doesn't think and
tries to poison herself instead of listening to the Friar, and in
desperation of death, kills herself with the dagger. Romeo is careful and
considerate in some parts of the play. An example of this is when he tries
to convince his friends not to go to the Capulet ball : "'tis no .....

Creon's Role Of King And His Responsibilities
Number of words: 1237 - Number of pages: 5.... is what Creon says
inspires "fear" in the king, for if affairs of state or of the people fall into
decline, the king is the first person whom the citizenry look to blame. This is
analogous to executive leaders throughout history, as one can see in looking at
American presidents and the correlation between the present conditions and
events of the nation to the public's opinion of the president, regardless of the
actual impact that his decisions may have made in these conditions. Creon
maintains that he has the same amount of power as the king but without the
accountability that i .....

Stand By Me: Review
Number of words: 426 - Number of pages: 2.... It was a very sad tune and was one that may have been played at a funeral at one point in time.
The other type of music I found was song scoring. Since the story took place in the 50’s of 60’s, most of the songs were from that time period. They usually came at points in the movie when nothing much else was happening. Either that or it was source music coming from the radio in the car. It mostly reminded me of care free living, and growing up listening to this type of music in the car with my parents. The few examples that I have are when they are walking down the railroad tracks .....

The Powerful Persuasion Of Plebeians
Number of words: 643 - Number of pages: 3.... general in his statements left the crowd to understand more
easily Brutus’s side of the story and accept him and what he did.
Antony begins his speech with an innocent eulogy, but instead incites his
audience into a riot, looking for Brutus's death and wrongfully killing
Cinna the Poet. He does this by appealing to their emotions. Bringing
Caesar's body for everyone to see made them see for themselves the reality
of Caesar's death. Pointing out the stab wounds that the conspirators
inflicted drove them further into anger. He also used a couple of sneaky
tactics to help his mission of rev .....

The Crucible: Theme Of Mass Hysteria
Number of words: 871 - Number of pages: 4.... Proctor to leave his wife
Elizabeth for her. Another character with a hidden agenda is Mr. Thomas
Putnam, who hopes to take over some of his neighbor's land. To amplify the
situation, a group of girls are questioned by ministers for performing
witch-like rituals in the forest. A Puritan belief of the 17th century is
that the devil and other demons live in the forest, and that witchcraft is
performed there as well. Dissembling citizens begin to accuse others of
witchcraft, with a very selfish motive. As John Proctor describes the
hysteria that ensues, "vengeance is walking Salem" (1079). The .....

Rhetorical Genders: Performances Of A Lifetime In Thelma And Louise
Number of words: 1305 - Number of pages: 5.... reinscription and subversion of patriarchal ideologies. The tension between the film’s uses of narrative and image works to interrogate and problematize both feminist and antifeminist assumptions about gender, power, and subjectivity.
In Alice Doesn’t Teresa de Lauretis claims that
Feminist film theory has gone well beyond the simple opposition of positive and negative images, and has indeed displaced the very terms of that opposition to a sustained critical attention to the hidden work of the apparatus. It has shown, for instance, how narrativity works to anchor images to noncon .....

Romeo + Juliet: An E Ticket Ride
Number of words: 745 - Number of pages: 3.... overshadowing, telling the same parallel story. One could say that
there are visually emotional subtitles throughout the movie directing the
audience to understand and engage in the most famous love story in an entirely
new way. One can argue that this version of Romeo and Juliet would be
understood even without spoken words. The camera-work tells the story as
clearly as the text. There are very few moments in this movie when the camera
stops moving. Like Oliver Stone's Natural Born Killers the editing is fierce
and in your face. There is little time to think as the perpetual images .....

Stanlislovski's System: Concepts On Acting
Number of words: 939 - Number of pages: 4.... example of a tool an actor
could use to connect himself the life of the character. The Magic If, simply
guides the actor to ask the simple question: "What would I do if I were in my
character position?" By asking this question of himself the actor can
personalize the given circumstances of the character. The situation of the
character becomes more personal, and the stakes much higher, because the actor
has divulged some particular issues of himself into the character. Due to these
particularities the actor will work out the given circumstance of the character
in a much more truthful m .....
