Orson Welles Citizen Kane
1,214 words
The biggest mistake we have made is to consider
that films are primarily a form of entertainment.
The film is the greatest medium since the
invention of movable type for exchanging ideas and
information, and it is no more at its best in
light entertainment than literature is at its best
in the light novel. -Orson Welles Orson Welles was
passionate about film. By the young age of 25, he
had directed, produced, and starred in what is
today considered by most to be the greatest movie
ever made, Cit...

In my capacity as the independent political
scientist from the state of Wyoming, I see it in
the best interest of the people of this state to
propose an Amendment to replace the Electoral
College system with the Popular Vote of the
majority of the people across the United States.
My recommendations herein have considered every
facet of support and evidence upon which the
rationale for such a grotesque Amendment may be
justified and effectuated. Considering the

Santa Claus Emotional Appeal

Every society has mythology. In some societies,
it's religion. Our religion is consumerism. Ellen
Weis, San Francisco's Museum of Modern Mythology
Consumerism fuels the capitalist fire. In a
capitalist society, the goal is to make money, by
whatever means possible, exploiting whichever
potential weakness that might exist. The human
race is one with a wild imagination, and this wild
imagination, though a great strength, can, like
all great strengths, serve as a potential
weakness. It is our imagi...

Brothers And Sisters Olive Tree

As the mists of time part and show us the past we
see that even before the time of men, before our
puny struggles and trials, there was life on the
earth. If we look closely we can see the battles
of the Titans and the Olympians. Such battles as
men have never witnessed raged. Mountains were
cast down and trampled under the fierce feet of
the Titans. Thunderbolts pierced the sky and the
lightning crowned the ever-restless waves. Every
day brought another victory or defeat for the
forces involved...

Lake Of Fire Day Of Judgment

Paul LockwooEnd of Days The Bible is literally
packed full of information regarding the end of
this earth as we know it. Whether you choose to
believe in God or not, it is a scientific fact
that this earth has a shelf-life and will come to
an end at some point in the far off future.
However, those of us who choose to accept the Word
of God as truth know of the future that is in
store for this earth and all that is on the earth.

Quot Ii Ii Soliloquy Hamlet
1,479 words
In Shakespeare's Hamlet, the tragic hero reveals
his inner conflicts and introspective attitude in
each of the lengthy soliloquies in the play.
Hamlet is a static character whose thoughts never
dramatically change. Each soliloquy delves further
into Hamlets motivations, or lack thereof, and
psyche. Each soliloquy, each slightly different,
is all united by vivid imagery, introspective
language, and discussion of Hamlets delay of
action. The first soliloquy serves to set the
stage for the rest of ...

writers have mastered the ability to amuse the
public in such an original manner. This opera had
its premiere on December 31, 1879, at the Fifth
Avenue Theater in New York with Arthur Sullivan
conducting. It opened on April 3, 1880, at the

Mel Gibson Shakespeare Wrote

Hamlet has been produced in a variety of ways, but
making a movie out of Hamlet is very different.
When producing Hamlet on film there are some
liberties that are taken for either artistic
benefit or to keep it shorter. These liberties are
up to the director? s interpretation of Hamlet.
The director? s interpretations make each Hamlet
production different. Unique differences make each
Hamlet interesting. When I watch a production of
Hamlet I find myself looking at the dialogue. I

they do in space. Chris, the big bully in grade 6,

Nov 1999 I Remember Mama The recent production of
I Remember Mama by The Baton Rouge Little Theatre
left much to be desired in my mind. The real flaw
in this unsuccessful production wasnt so much the
occasional annoyances and quirks by the cast and
director, it was the play itself. I felt that the
local talent of The Baton Rouge Little Theatre was
wasted on such a droll work. I found it difficult
to stay focused on the play and instead found

Analysis of Similes in the Illiad In the Iliad,
Homer finds a great tool in the simile. Just by
opening the book in a random place the reader is
undoubtedly faced with one, or within a few pages.
Homer seems to use everyday activities, at least
for the audience, his fellow Greeks, in these
similes nearly exclusively. When one is confronted
with a situation that is familiar, one is more
likely to put aside contemplating the topic and
simply inject those known feelings. This would

Ted Bundy Serial Killers

Murder is the most vindictive crime society can
commit. Society often wonders, what makes an
individual want to commit such a crime. As
individuals in society, the belief of being born a
murderer is false. No one is born a murderer;
society gives birth to that murderer. In Ted
Bundy? s case the lack of parental guidance and
constant rejection of women contributed to him
evolving into a vicious serial killer. Bundy was a
man who let his fantasies run his life, he
