Present Situation Sit Back
907 words
It seems as though all we hear on the news lately
is bad news. So it goes, right? After all, if we
took to heart all the tragedies that occur
everyday in the world we'd never get out of bed in
the morning. We would have an overload of grief so
heavy that we'd probably all die of a broken
heart. What we sometimes forget is that for every
action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
Likewise, every time someone dies another is born.
Every time a marriage ends in divorce, a newlywed
couple celeb...

Leader Of The Houyhnhnms Gulliver Travels Swift
818 words
One of the most interesting questions about
Gulliver's Travels is whether the Houyhnhnms
represent an ideal of rationality or whether onthe
other hand they are the butt of Swift's satire. In
other words, in Book IV, is Swift poking fun at
the talking horses or does he intend for to take
them seriously as the proper way to act? If we
look closely atthe way that the Houyhnhnms act, we
can see that in fact Swift does noritake them
seriously: he uses them to show the dangers of
pride. First we have ...

Forced To Work Character Development
936 words
The most apparent difference between Dracula and
Nosferatu is that one was made while film was
still without sound-at least dialogue-and the
other was not. This difference, though not a
revelation in itself, leads to a great number of
much more in-depth contrasts that deserve
discussion. In making a silent film, a director
must rely on sight-and a certain amount of text-to
portray to the audience his intended emotional,
and intellectual reaction. As a result of this,
the director is not able to ...
