... Watching a live theater performance and watching a movie in the cinema are practically the same since a movie and a play are both forms of arts. They both are just artistic forms of entertainment that are based on literary works like books with a great variety of genres such as novels, fiction, thrillers, autography or even comic books. Since both movies and plays are based on literary work, they will have plots that are also based on that work but the great thing is that they provides a shorter version of it for the audiences and viewers. Therefore, attending a live theater performance or going to the movies are perfect for the ones who are short of time or just too lazy to read through the whole book. However, the shorter version in movies and plays might sometimes disappoint viewers because they might not contain enough details from the author’s original work or the actors/actresses just can’t convey the characteristics of the characters they play. Ignoring all the above, attending a live theater performance or going to the movies can both give you enjoyable times The most notable difference between the two is the experience the audiences or viewers get. A live theater performance can offer you a much more satisfying and enjoyable time since the audiences can interact with the actors/actresses. By interacting, I mean you can sense the emotion, the rage, the anger and the happiness of the characters that the actors are trying to show. On the other hand, you can hardly...

...categorize it as poor but entertaining and trustworthy is that she doesn’t use a variety of argumentation types. She uses pathos throughout the whole text with some experiences of her own to back up some of her points. Her overall claim in her text is that reading fantasy feeds the imagination, and therefore one doesn’t crave poor TV series and porn as examples, as an adult. Also that proper feeding of one’s imagination in an early age through fantasy books has a positive impact in one’s adult life. But why aren’t there more adults reading fantasy then? That question gives birth to Le Guin’s question and title of her text “Why Are Americans Afraid Of Dragons?”. Le Guin’s text appeal to the adult readers, as to why they should read fantasy or fiction for that matter, and that immersing in a good fantasy or novel shouldn’t be something taboo in the American society. She states that many Americans are not only antifantasy, but antifictional altogether. She also claims that men in modern society aren’t allowed to read fantasy or fictions unless it’s a bestselling novel, or something business related. Who can blame the poor men? I bet that there aren’t many busy businesswomen either who have the time to immerse into a fantasy novel unless it benefits her social or business life. Therefore, I do not agree with her statement that its taboo to read fantasy for men, but that the lack of reading is due to a busy and...

...smarter. Reading gives me something to talk about later on. A good book is an education of my heart. It enlarges my sense of human possibility what human nature is of, and what happens in the world. I believe that books enrich my vocabulary. An improved vocabulary is the most obvious outcome of a strongly established habit of reading because while reading books, especially challenging ones, I find myself exposed to many new words I would not be otherwise. Moreover, while reading “The Classics” I come across words that are no more commonly used. In addition, Books are a fantastic source of inspiration. Unlike fine art, architecture or travelling, books help me to create my own mental illustration for what I read on paper. And this is very important for a student like me. It has been scientifically proven that people learn faster if they plug in imagination. In a way, reading books makes us all artists and creators of our own mental cartoons, movies or illustration collections. This in turn keeps our minds constantly working which is extremely beneficial mainly for older people. Moreover, reading also helps me to reduce stress. Where I might have had a stressful day in college, a book can easily distract me. Especially fiction is fantastic for this. So why do I read? For all those wonderful reasons that have been given. With James Michener, I travel to Hawaii, Poland or Alaska, and learn so much. With books such as Uncle Tom’s Cabin by Harriett Beecher Stowe, I learn, suffer...

Anderson is a man living two lives. By day he is an average computer programmer and by night a hacker known as Neo. Neo has always questioned his reality, but the truth is far beyond his imagination. Neo finds himself targeted by the police when he is contacted by Morpheus, a legendary computer hacker branded a terrorist by the government. Morpheus awakens Neo to the real world, a ravaged wasteland where most of humanity have been captured by a race of machines that live off of the humans' body heat and electrochemical energy and who imprison their minds within an artificial reality known as the Matrix. As a rebel against the machines, Neo must return to the Matrix and confront the agents: super-powerful computer programs devoted to snuffing out Neo and the entire human rebellion. The telephone call initiated by Morpheus prompts the police to visit Mr. Anderson’s home with the offer of deliverance and the awakening. Morpheus is known to the government as a legendary computer hacker and a terrorist. Morpheus meets up with Mr. Anderson and offers him a choice of a blue pill or a red pill. The choice that is offered will afford Mr. Anderson to either wake up in a world beyond his imagination or to continue to exist in his current state existence. The “real world” * 2.

...D. Introduction The subject matter of media psychology is a mother lode of material that psychology has actively mined for decades, but only within the last ten to fifteen years has the enterprise emerged as a distinct and explicit subdivision of psychology. Media psychology found its inspirational roots more than 90 years ago within the discipline of social psychology and in the early work of social psychologist Hugo Münsterberg concerning the psychology and the psychological impact of film. Published in 1916 under the title, The Photoplay: A Psychological Study, it was the first empirical study of an audience reacting to a film. Münsterberg also provided such a keen analysis of a screenplay's (then called a photoplay) grammar of visual construction and nascent cinematic conventions and their psychological impact on the audience, that his incisive words still echo today in numerous film school lecture halls and classroom seminars. And there was psychologist L.L. Thurstone, arguably the Father of Attitude Scale Construction and Measurement (a signature area of theory and research in social psychology), who developed scales for the measurement of attitudes toward movies for the famous and notoriously politicized Payne Fund Research in 1928. This study’s practically avowed purpose was to indict (not investigate) the medium of film as a source of inspiration of bad behavior in a youthful audience. Few psychologists, however, followed Münsterberg and Thurstone into the thicket...

...life and its corresponding outlook, so some of them have chosen to leave. The village is aging rapidly and the population is decreasing. 2. Q: Do you like your hometown? Why or why not? A: Naturally I love my hometown. Small towns like mine are apt to produce really distinctive characters among the people. Local residents are familiar enough with one another that everyone finds a slightly different social role and takes her role seriously, as it is a form of her identity that allows him to deeply engage her neighbors. This, in some ways, is similar to the formation of a family, where we notice difference among each other more clearly. As a result of this phenomenon, in my view, it's often easier to find a broader range of personalities and interests in small towns than in large cities, where interaction is frequently more impersonal. I've learned more about humanity and the unique ways social life can nourish a person's character from the varied personalities that inhabit my hometown. 3. Q: Do you think your hometown is a good place for young people to live in? A: In some respects I do. While the opportunities for education and jobs in industries are perhaps not quite as numerous currently as they are...
