Twelve Angry Men Henry Fonda
522 words
May 20, 1999 Twelve Angry Men In the film Twelve
Angry Men, I believe justice was served. Without
juror number eight, however, the outcome most
assuredly would have been different. The subtle
force and confidence that he displayed allowed the
narrow minds of the other eleven jurors to be
broadened. From the beginning of the film, juror
number eight displayed his interest in the case,
not his personal engagements. His opening part by
the window foreshadowed his deep concern for the
defendant, an ...

Scraggy Wee Shits Life On The Farm Heaney
1,290 words
The very first line that Heaney uses, ? I was six
when I first saw kittens drown. ? ? is very
powerful. ? This is because it shows that reader
that he is making it vivid, by stating that he was
only six. ? This means that the event made such an
impression on him, being so young, and he is able
to remember every little detail very well. ? After
this, the basic ways in which Heaney makes life on
the farm vivid are to do with the imagery he uses,
the language of the poem, used to describe the

has ideals. From the most insignificant aspect in
our life, such as the perfect meal, to the most
important, perhaps the perfect family, we all have
ideals. As a result, we must all be idealists,
although some are more extreme idealists than
others, as evidenced by the actions of Dr. Martin
Luther King, and by contrast, at the opposite end
of the spectrum, Adolf Hitler. The ideal of the
former, was one of a better society in which

As a composer, Igor Stravinsky knew many
conductors. Later, he wrote an essay about them.
What could he write about them? What would your
typical composer have to say about conductors?
Surprisingly, when Stravinsky wrote about
conductors he became very critical. Sarcasm and
mockery permeate throughout the passage when he
discusses them. Stravinsky uses a few schemes to
convince his reader of the conductors
insignificance. First, the language Stravinsky
uses in his passage is very caustic. In a f...

Hawthorne Young Goodman Brown Nathaniel Hawthorne

Conformity, perhaps the most cumbersome of all
social pressures, appears many times throughout
Literature. For instance, in Nathaniel Hawthorne s
Young Goodman Brown, the element of conformity
appears, as an excuse for the main character to
engage in conduct that he realizes is wrong. In
Shirley Jackson s The Lottery, conformity appears
in a very different aspect. In this story, we
venture into a seemingly average village to learn
how the pressure to conform can be so powerful
that people, who w...

Subliminal Messages Young Children

Vulgarity in Television In the early years of
television people where much more sensitive to
what was said and took offense to any form of
obscene language. Even in the movies it was
unacceptable. However, for many the standard for

shows on television vulgar words are used way to
often. In many cases unnecessarily. These words do
not bother me in the least. However, there are
many parents with young children who are offended

Play Julius Caesar Changed Their Views Commoners
781 words
JULIUS CAESAR William Shakespeare lived from 1564
to 1616. During his time, he wrote and established
many plays. Although he lived about 400 years ago,
his themes still have proven their universality
today. A good example of this is in the play,
Julius Caesar. One of the themes in this play is
that there are many methods of manipulation, that
persuade and influence people into a certain
direction, sometimes too quickly, without thought.
Shakespeare distorts the views of people to show
that commo...
