Green Eyes Tragic Events

Never, never, never give up, was coined by Sir
Winston Churchill. This quote holds more meaning
than could ever be put into words. Everyday we are
faced with obstacles that occur in our lives. How
we manage these everyday occurrences make us not
only who we are, but also who we hope to become.
Nineteen hundred eight six was an exceptional year
filled with triumph and tragedy. May I never
forget lessons learned and innocence lost. Tragic
events do not preclude tragic outcomes. Leaving

Huston film than in the book. He seems to have
more control over Brigid and the whole on going
situation. First we see this when we enter the
apartment of Spade. In the book we have the
feeling that Spades apartment was small, In his
bedroom that was his living-room now the wall bed
was up, (Pg. 61), this tells us that Spade was

relationships, and this way of life is an

Black And White Maltese Falcon

The Maltese Falcon In my opinion, The Maltese
Falcon is the best example of the detective story
of the early years of XX century, which was
followed by the creation of movie. Written in
1930, The Maltese Falcon creates its own rules and
style for detective fiction. It was a
groundbreaking book, offering up a style of
writing that most had not seen before. Hammett
wrote as if everyone wanted to talk: smooth,
assured, and witty. He wrote with a graceful
masculinity that made being bad beautiful. H...

out of the way. Willy Lowman's technique in Arthur
Millers play Death of a Salesman, leads to very
severe consequences. Willy never really does
