Fort Ord Ocean Freeway
875 wordsWarm sunny days, golden tans, beautiful sandy beaches, and bright shimmering lights of the cities at night. These are the images that came to my mind when I thought of California. As a child, I often daydreamed of living in such a wonderful place. Little did I know that the images of sunny beaches, people walking around in shorts, and gentle breezes portrayed in the advertisements of the magazines and television were not as they appeared: however, I would soon find all this out. My husband was i...

Catcher In The Rye Romeo And Juliet
840 wordsSome may say that the main character of J. D. Salingers novel The Catcher in the Rye, Holden Caulfield, is merely the average teenager, although he seems to think about sex and women quite a lot for his age of sixteen. This point can be easily argued in many ways, one example being the time Holden called a perfect stranger, Faith Cavendish, to get together at an unruly time of night. Another example of the main characters perversion is when he hired a prostitute named Sunny, and never actually a...

Garden Of Eden Kubla Khan
1,336 wordsKubla Khan, by Samuel Taylor Coleridge, is one of the most enigmatic and ambiguous pieces of literature ever written. Allegedly written after a laudanum (an opiate) induced dream, the author claims to have been planning a two hundred to three hundred line poem before he got interrupted by a man from Pollock, after which he had forgotten nearly all of his dream. This may have been merely an excuse, and the poem was scorned at the time for having no poetic value, one critic even going so far as to...

Good And Bad Kubla Khan
576 wordsKubla Khan" The poem Kubla Khan by Samuel Coleridge is a fabulous poem full of brilliant imagination. Coleridge expresses his dream. Coleridge's use of imagery implies an idea which differentiates good and bad or dreamlike and reality. Images of the pleasure-dome; a delightful place in his dream and sacred river; a holy and pure place in his dream, show as if Coleridge was demanding for a place of delight yet holy to be built in Xanadu. But now, the lines suggest darkness of the seditious with i...

Kubla Khan Pleasure Dome
1,118 wordsIn the poem Kubla Khan by Samuel Coleridge, language is used to convey images from Coleridge's imagination. This is done with the use of vocabulary, imagery, structure, use of contrasts, rhythm and sound devices such as alliteration and assonance. By conveying his imagination by using language, the vocabulary used by Coleridge is of great importance. The five lines of the poem Kubla Khan sound like a chant or incantation, and help suggest mystery and supernatural themes of the poem. Another impo...

Dirks Blue Velvet White Picket Fence Frank
1,604 wordsDavid Lynch's Blue Velvet is an exploration of things above and below the surface. This surface is really a borderline between not only idyllic suburban America and the dark, perverted corruption that lies underneath but also between good and evil, conscious and subconscious, dream and reality. Although this division seems quite rigid and clean-cut some of the most important implications of the film stem from the transgressions of these borderlines. In the initial scenes of the film Lynch introd...

Noir Lighting Style Bright Sunny Day Dark
364 wordsMy Darling Clementine to me didnt stick out as a particularly dark movie. I will agree that there were a lot of dark scenes in it but not enough to distract me toward the idea of this being a particularly dark film as a whole. However the dark noir lighting style that was used to bring the night scenes to life certainly added something to it. Usually when I think of film noir, I tend to think of movies like Batman. There the lighting reflects the moral and physical issues behind the motives of t...
