He is basically writing about what he has witnessed and experienced as he went through the Great Depression. Steinbeck's simple writing style shows what it was like during the Great Depression.

Most of the film shots are medium-close, and the music is fairly constant. Thus it is up to the actors to present struggle within the film. The director uses many different techniques t...

Creon And Antigone Complete Opposite
915 wordsMorality is always the product of terror; its chains and strait-waistcoats are fashioned by those who dare not trust others, because they dare not trust themselves, to walk in liberty, writes author Aldous Huxley. In Antigone the root of Creon's immoral behavior is not an inability to distinguish between what is wrong and what is right, but, rather, a fear or a terror of what may occur if he were to choose the morally right way to operate. Very well, I am afraid, then. Does that satisfy you? I a...
