three infants, huddled in front of a TV set in a
public housing tenement and living at taxpayer
expense on monthly Aid to Families with Dependent
Children (AFDC) checks and food stamps. We react
negatively because too often these checks
subsidize bad behavio...

Lack Of Communication Big Daddy

When literature is transformed into film, it goes
through a process known as cinematic mutation.
This process could not be more noticeable in the
production of Tennessee Williams Cat on a Hot Tin
Roof. This playwright and later blockbuster film
is based on the inner conflicts of honesty, love,
and greed. There is a great deal of narrative

into monetary units. When he makes remarks like
the second one he goes further and identifies this
value of money with the labor time embodied in a
certain quantity of gold. One result of Marx's

F Scott Fitzgerald Main Characters

like to say that I really enjoyed the book. But I
also believe that the way F. Scott Fitzgerald
writes and portrays the main characters and the
society that they live in is extremely cruel. The
story depicts a young couple that came from very
rich families. Their life values and believes
added up to careless life with no work but full of
