Woman Norma Rae Norma Rae Great
665 words
It is easy to see why the film, Norma Rae,
received great praise at the time of its making.
Sally Field gives a heart wrenching performance,
providing a realistic portrayal of the shockingly
oppressive working climate of the blue-collar
worker. This is an older movie, thus sustaining
the elements of the 'Hollywoodism' that are
prominent now to a minimum. Nevertheless, the
director successfully portrayed reality through
exhibition of a certain culture, language, gender
rating and other imminent a...

Catcher In The Rye Looked Good

The theme that the world has an outward appearance
that seems fair and perfect but really they " re
as Holden put it "phonies. " This is shown

New York and even before he left. The setting is

encounter any transvestites, lesbians, or anything
that extreme of phoniest. Or on the other hand he
could have liked them for being as Elmemson said a
"none conformist. " But I doubt it, he seemed to
like kid...

Outlook On Life Forrest Gump
714 words
There is a huge difference between very bad movies
and very good ones. Thats because films can be on
either side of the quality scale. A good movie has
the ability to burrow deep into the subconscious,
with unpredictable and occasional remarkable
results. A great work of art can cause euphoria,
touch a deep emotional chord, or, in rare cases
effect fundamental changes in a persons outlook on
life. A movie that can do all of the above and
more is Forrest Gump. Forrest Gump is a movie with
a great...

Grab For The Gold Ring Innocent Children

an evil and corrupt place where there is no peace
of mind, or innocence. His perception of the world

think he does mature as the novel progresses.

Holden's life in the book, Holden is very
successful in telling his point of view of the

J D Salinger Catcher In The Rye

There's far more to the censorship issue than a
ban on sex and four-letter words. I sometimes
think that those of us who need to be the most
clearheaded about these matters are planting the
very trees that obscure our view of the forest, "
says Dorothy Briley. According to Briley, a vast
amount more is needed than simply vulgar language
and suggestive material to censor a novel. But
this is the very reason why J. D. Salinger's The
Catcher in the Rye is frequently being banned from
high schools. ...
