...Song * A Dream Lies Dead * "Star Light, Star Bright--" * A Certain Lady * Résumé * A Fairly Sad Tale * Afternoon * August Dorothy Parker was an American poet, short story writer, critic and satirist, best known for her wit, wisecracks, and eye for 20th-century urban foibles. From a conflicted and unhappy childhood, Parker rose to acclaim, both for her literary output in such venues as The New Yorker and as a founding member of the Algonquin Round Table. Following the breakup of the circle, Parker traveled to Hollywood to pursue screenwriting. Her successes there, including two Academy Award nominations, were curtailed as her involvement in left-wing politics led to a place on the Hollywood blacklist. 1920: Parker's caustic wit as a critic initially proved popular, but she was eventually terminated by Vanity Fair in 1920 after her criticisms began to offend powerful producers too often. 1925: When Harold Ross founded The New Yorker in 1925, Parker and Benchley were part of a "board of editors" established by Ross to allay concerns of his investors. 1934: In 1934, she married Alan Campbell, an actor with aspirations to become a screenwriter. 1936: At the behest of Otto Katz, a covert Soviet Comintern agent and operative of German Communist Party agent Willi Muenzenberg, Parker helped to found the Hollywood Anti-Nazi League in 1936 (which was suspected by the FBI of being a Communist Party front). 1941: She wrote additional dialogue for...

Throughout her life she struggled with the use of alcohol and many times she tried to comitt suicide. Her life influnceded many of her poetry topics. In her poem Resume the line "Razors pain you" can be connected to the many times that she has suffered with suicide. Also, in her poem News Item we can connect these words to the abuse she felt from her father when she was younger. Her topics give her poems authenticity because she is talking about real life things that she suffered with. Her way of letting out pain was writing about it. Parker had a rough and unpleasant relationship with men. Going through many different marriages and having affairs with different men can mess with your view on the male population. Also, she was never a huge fan of her dad. She had many guy friends and worked for men. When it came to her affiars she used men. "Be you wise and never sad, You will get your lovely lad." This was quoted from her poem The Lady's Reward. The line in this poem shows that to get a man you need to be wise. Parker was always wise when dealing with men because she dealt with many of them. Her attitude towards men is reported in her work. Parker's poems show how she felt about her life. She wrote about the suffering that she went through and how she got through it. In...

One of the themes I have noticed is a very simple that your dreams can come true. I realized this theme do to many factors in this storyline. All throughout the whole movie Dorthy, tin man, lion, and the scarecrow had set their goals to get to the wizard. Specifically, this theme is made up for the characters of Dorothy Gale, the Cowardly Lion, the Scarecrow and the Tin man. Each one of them respectively has a strong desire to get back home or to find courage, a heart and brains. Not as famous as the “dreams can come true” theme but I did notice another theme “you can get what you want” is another them that I have located in the movie the wizard of oz. As it is pretty much seen in the movie Dorthy wants to go home and she makes her way the yellow brick road to the wizard and the wizard takes her home. It is pretty noticeable in all the other Character which were the scarecrow, loin, and the tin man that they all wanted something. If there was anything stopping them they wouldn’t let that happen.

All these childhood memories, the related games and much more were created by “Hasbro, Inc”. Unfortunately the company end up being sold to another French company due to many failures discussed below. After Hasbro Inc and Hasbro Interactive and all the rapid growth and success the company has had, it began acquiring software firms and became separate divisions instead of one united entity. The owner was over optimistic; he set very high target sales and revenues which led to lots of missed targets and caused Hasbro interactive to start losing money. Structural challenges were many from which we can mention: * Hasbro’s related companies departments didn’t report to the main division, * No strategic plans for the company (other than acquiring as many companies with no consideration of the prices), * Main division set very aggressive sales expectations due to overconfidence, * Huge revenues gained by Hasbro interactive were spent on large employees’...

...“He has big toes the size of a house.” He is very different from the original tinman only because this is from her imagination. Some might say her imagination is wild comparing her characters to the actual characters in the movie. Then she explains ,vividly, her own lion is small with webbed duck feet, and is very scared of everything. Her scarecrow has “wooden teeth with long fingernails and tubes on his clothes.” Then Dorothy, the main character, is Emily herself. The commercial is set in a double observation by using Emily’s version of the Oz and the actual reality of the Oz when she is watching it on the couch. Her version conveyed details and characteristics similar to the original when she describes the shape(tornado) and color(green). So they focused solely on her characters. The ad made it capable to depict her version of the characters while still being able to recognize the...

...Many people have heard of the Ouija Board. They have been used in teen horror movies and are usually depicted as a way to contact evil spirits. Movies like this exaggerate the outcome of using the Ouija Board and create stigma towards it. When I tell people I own one, they normally give me a weird look and ask why I would want something like that. I am writing this to explain why I own one, and my personal experience with mine. I had recently found a religion that matched my beliefs; Wicca. I was very excited to look into it more as I had never felt comfortable as Judaism being my religion. I am very spiritual and never had a way to bring it out, until I picked up a book on Wiccan Witchcraft. I began reading at the chapter named “Tools of Witchcraft” and learned of many ways to open your mind to spirits, energies, and yourself. I read that the Ouija Board was a lesser-known way of conveying your spirituality as for the bad reputation it had been given. I was very intrigued and immediately began researching it. I learned many things, read many warnings, and many speculations. After a few days of looking at them online and learning that they were very expensive, I gave up. That is, until I entered a new flea market in downtown Sioux City. I’ve always been drawn to them; the general atmosphere is comforting and everybody feels obliged to stay quiet, much like a library. That, mixed with the underlying anticipation of finding something unique is what sent me there that day. When...

...00:37:10 to 00:39:30 Charles Foster Kane just start his new job : he is now controlling a newspaper in New York, the Inquirer. He’s with Jedediah Leland and Mr.Bernstein, they are just discussing about the future of the Inquirer but then Mr.Kane has an idea : he’s going to write a declaration of principles. This is the beginning of the desillusion for the spectator who believes in a good Charles. However, the scene is quite intersting in the way it has been filmed, especially in the second part of the extract. When he’s writing his declaration, Mr.Kane is in the shadow when the others are under the light to show that his ideas will never appear in reality. This is also like a funeral for his principles since he’ll never apply them. They are stillborn but the most impressive play with the camera is the one of Leland who is purposely looking at the lens to expliain his feeling to the spectator. In fact, he wants to keep the paper with the declaration on it since he thinks that it could become a treasure. The character is announcing the defeat of kindness at the beginning of the movie so the spectator can enjoy the fall of Charles Foster Kane. There is a sort of intimity between Leland and the ones in front of the screen. Thus, this is one of the most important scenes of the movie because it summarize well the all concept of Mr.Kane : a kind man who wants to help people but who is too obsessed by his own succes and power....
