...Alfredo Dorame English per.2 Wizard of Oz themes The movie the wizard of Oz is known as one of the most know movies in America for showing a real interesting storyline. Of how one little girls ends up in a beautiful nonrealistic world. This movie is known for its storyline but while watching the movie I have found many different types of themes. 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. So in the end the theme “ you can get what you want” is practically the same it just can be meant...

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...

...“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...

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.

...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....

...___________________________ LIVING HISTORY Hillary Rodham Clinton Simon & Schuster New York • London • Toronto • Sydney • Singapore To my parents, my husband, my daughter and all the good souls around the world whose inspiration, prayers, support and love blessed my heart and sustained me in the years of living history. AUTHOR’S NOTE In 1959, I wrote my autobiography for an assignment in sixth grade. In twenty-nine pages, most half-filled with earnest scrawl, I described my parents, brothers, pets, house, hobbies, school, sports and plans for the future. Forty-two years later, I began writing another memoir, this one about the eight years I spent in the White House living history with Bill Clinton. I quickly realized that I couldn’t explain my life as First Lady without going back to the beginning―how I became the woman I was that first day I walked into the White House on January 20, 1993, to take on a new role and experiences that would test and transform me in unexpected ways. By the time I crossed the threshold of the White House, I had been shaped by my family upbringing, education, religious faith and all that I had learned before―as the daughter of a staunch conservative father and a more liberal mother, a student activist, an advocate for children, a lawyer, Bill’s wife and Chelsea’s mom. For each chapter, there were more ideas I wanted to discuss than space allowed; more people to include than could be named; more places visited than could be described...

...Dorothy L. Sayers once said “Death seems to provide the minds of the Anglo-Saxon race with a greater fund of amusement than any other single subject” (BrainyQuote). Sayers is a well respect writer, translator and literary critic and she managed to summarize the mood of Anglo-Saxon literature quite well. Death is a common subject in Anglo-Saxon literature. It has deep roots in their culture and history. This common topic gives Anglo-Saxon literature a mood of despair. Often death was not the end for these people. Their name lived on through stories and epic tales, but this fact does not dilute the over whelming sensation of sorrow and loss in Anglo-Saxon literature. It only provides a way of coping with it. Death is a complex subject in Anglo-Saxon culture. It is highlighted quite nicely in the epic poem, Beowulf. Beowulf is the strongest of men. Hrothgar describes him as “that in the grasp of his hand that man renowned in battle has the might of thirty men” (Beowulf 333-335). He has risked his life multiple times to show how truly noble and courageous a man he can be, but the thanes still thought, “Not one of them believed he would see / day dawn, or ever return to his family / and friends, and the place where he was born; / they well knew that in recent days / far to many Danish men had come to bloody ends in that hall (Beowulf 602-608).” Even in the presence of the greatest of warriors, the people still fear Grendel and believe Beowulf will just become another meal for...

...English 11A Period 2 27 February 2013 Robert Frost In the last sentence of one of Robert Frost’s most recognized poems, “The Road Not Taken”, he states, “Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference”. Considering he was widely viewed as an untraditional poet, this line explains his writing style precisely. He took a different path and strayed from the conventional style that many poets were so accustomed to. His work is unique and transverses between the work of nineteenth century poetry and a more modern type of poetry (“Robert Frost”). He writes of nature and its relationship with man, which is a result of the life he lived in the rural lands of New England. The landscape of New England and the dialect of its inhabitants became an inspiration to most of Frost’s popular work. Frost’s poetry really took off after the death of his father. In 1884, he and what was left of his family moved to Massachusetts, which became the birth place of his poetry (“Robert Frost”). In 1982, he graduated with the title of class poet, and two years later his first poem “My Butterfly” was published (“Robert Frost”). The poem ended with the death of a butterfly which can be assumed to be a reference to the death of Frost’s father. After the success of this poem, though, Frost’s work was constantly being rejected by American magazines which made him come to the decision to move his family to England (“Robert Frost”). His father wouldn’t be joining...

...LCMP 303 OL July 28, 2012 The Worldview Conundrum in Business; Christianity vs. Naturalism In a society that is increasingly hostile to the Christian worldview, one must understand that that hostility is forming changes in the culture. Many businesses in America have operated under the presupposition that Business’ only mandate is to make money with no further responsibility to society. It is the philosophical belief of Naturalism that society owes business the framework upon which to operate with no corresponding obligation to benefit society in return. As America continues to struggle economically it is fair to wonder why. In Business, the conflict between differing worldviews is paramount to the health and sustainability of the economy. Understanding the differing beliefs between the Christian worldview and the worldview of Naturalism, as they pertain to business, will help people see the affect those views have, and potentially have, on the economy of the United States. It is important to define these two worldviews philosophically in order to fully grasp their intent and scope. The metaphysical, epistemology and axiological beliefs of Naturalism will introduce a deeper understanding of this particular worldview. The metaphysical belief of Naturalism is that the natural order is eternal, self sufficient and uncreated. The epistemological belief of Naturalism is that knowledge is gained through human experience and scientific method. Finally, the axiological...

...Why did Chartism Fail? * Chartism failed because of economic factors – it was simply a ‘knife and fork question’ * Chartism failed because of the inherent weakness of the movement and internal divisions within the movement * Chartism did not really fail in the truest sense of the word – it was defeated by the state Economic Factors Some historians have argued that improving economic conditions ensured the Chartist movement faded after 1848 – there had been worsening economic conditions in the period after 1837 which gave rise to the chartist movement. After this period, the lessening economic instability, growing prosperity and rise in living standards after 1848 removed basis for widespread discontent. In economic prosperity – Chartism could no longer be sustained. The interpretation has been questioned in recent decades – economic historians began questioning how stable the British economy really was during this time in ‘Mid-Victorian Boom’ (1850-73) e.g. Cunningham – disagrees as he believes the economy continued to fluctuate. A series of subtle economic changes undermined the movement after 1848 and led to the movement’s eventual fall. 1. Development of Railways – Provided stimulus to industries; iron, steel and coal. Economic growth less narrowly based than in period before 1850 when textiles had been leading sector 2. Factory Legislation – Legislation redefined management practices and relationships in the workplace; 1850s-60s saw development...
