... commitment to the black community, thus
serving as a shining example of the lessons of his
music. Brown's message of change by improving
currently existing systems was conservative in
comparison to some more radical artists. These
artists, like the Last Poets, believe that change
would only come around through a revolution. The
Last Poets who use a combination of spoken word
and music in their song "Niggers Are Scared of
Revolution" exemplify this. The song addresses
apathy in the black comm...

Bram Stoker Jonathan Harker
886 words
The aspect of Dracula that makes it so
frightening, as opposed to contemporary horror, is
that of the strong persona of Count Dracula
himself. For all of the terror he inspires, The
Count has few appearances in the novel, instead
using his mystique to frighten the reader. While
nearly all current books and films in the horror
genre focus on the aspects of violence and shock
appeal, Dracula uses the element of suspense to
captivate the reader. By using the element of
fear, Bram Stoker keeps the r...

Throughout motion picture history, women have
experienced more transition in their roles, as a
result of changing societal norms, than any other
class. At first, both society and the movie
industry preached that women should be dependent
on men and remain in the home, in order to
guarantee stability in the community and the
family. As time passed and attitudes changed,
women were beginning to be depicted as strong
willed, independent minded characters, who were
eager to break away from conventio...

Interesting To Note Oedipus Rex
1,536 words
The drama of Ibsen was unusual for its time since
the language that was used and the cha HI
Eiracters it portrayed were very much of the real
world. A Dolls House, serves as an example of the
kind of issue-based drama that distinguishes Ibsen
from many of his contemporaries. The plays
dialogue is not poetic, but very naturalistic, and
the characters are recognisable people. Given the
sense of modernity which the play possesses it
seems unusual to compare it to a Greek tragedy

Makes Me Feel Feature Film
1,003 words
Both Butch Hayes and Samuel Levine both committed
the same crimes against a young person, yet the
viewer is positioned to feel differently to both
of them-more sympathetic towards Hayes rather than
Levine. This is because of the manner both their
characters were portrayed, using, among other
things, techniques specific to the genre (feature
film and novel). One of the main factors, which
manipulate how we feel about Butch and Samuel, are
the way they are both characterised. Hayes is

Prime-time Animation: A mockery of pop culture The
Simpsons, which debuted in 1987 on The Tracey

Groening brought to the drawing board a warped
satire on pop culture, which produced ripples in
prime-time animation forever. Prime-time animation
now contains spoofs on not only Western culture,
but humanity as well. Due to these satirical,
stereotypical views on Western and pop culture,
and their irreverence, (prime-time) animated

Leaves The Reader Reader Realizes
796 words
Problem of Genre in Drama When a reader thinks of
a play that has been labeled a comedy he thinks of
light-hearted and happy plots. The reader would
not think of family tension, arguments or even
perversion. The genre of comedy takes on the
responsibility of making the audience laugh and
walk away from the production with a satisfied
feeling. But when comedy is subverted by tragedy
the reader or audience leaves the production
wondering if what they just experienced was
correct. The play The Home...
