...Little Miss Sunshine directed by Jonathan Dayton and Valarie Faris, is a family drama about a young girl wanting to go after her dream. Along the way, family members go through conflicts that change him or her and help them grow and mature as a character. Jason Reitman, the director of Juno, also brings up this issue, where the main character goes through a series of conflicts that ‘forces’ her to mature. Both these films show the representation of family and youth and the theme of maturing by the use of language and cinematic conventions. Both these films show two protagonists affected by the issue of having to grow up early and family support. Throughout a person’s life, they will go through changes that will help them mature and grow as a person. Young Olive in Little Miss Sunshine realises that her dream of being a beauty pageant winner is out of her reach but soon realises winning doesn’t matter and overcomes her loss. Similarly, Juno is faced with being pregnant which is unplanned but she is almost forced to deal with it. She decides to give the baby up for adoption, the same as Olive is giving up her dream. Each film uses a variety of cinematic conventions to bring forward the specific issues. For example, in Little Miss Sunshine, several scenes use camera angles such as a close up of Olive with her family blurred out in the background, symbolising that she feels alone and separated yet is determined for them to be an ideal ‘happy’ family, this helps position the viewers...

...might think. You can only find yourself in your suchness if you are first "emptied" of everything and all of your conditioning. Everything in nature is in its suchness; it is the way that it is, and in this suchness its emptiness, and the way that it connects with all other things, can be found in the same way as it can be found in human beings. In the beginning of The Heart of Understanding, Thich Nhat Hanh gives us the definition for a word, a word not yet in the dictionary. This word is “interbeing”. In his explanation of this word he describes how everything that we see here depends on something else to be what it is. To use his example: without the logger, the sunshine, or clouds, the paper upon which we read would not be able to exist. At the end of this description of the word “interbeing”, Thich Nhat Hanh states that “The Heart Sutra seems to say the opposite. Avalokiteshvara tells us that things are empty.” (p. 4) Thich Nhat Hanh continues to speaks of the piece of paper, and how if we only look at it from the outside, we are separate from it and we will not fully comprehend how everything is interconnected: “If we only look at the sheet of paper as an observer, standing outside, we cannot understand it completely”. (p. 9) The idea that speaks to me from this is that if we are transcendent to this idea of interbeing then we will not truly understand emptiness or suchness, and along with this we will not truly understand Buddhism or any of its concepts. We need to be immersed...

...Eternal Sunshine Summary In Bad Memories, Good Decisions, And The Three Joel’s by Valerie Tiberius, she explains how memories distort the past and can cause you to make impulsive decisions. She makes a reference to Eternal Sunshine of how distorting memory can affect you. “When Joel wants to have Clementine erased from his memory, he is remembering the worst of their times together, one of which is their time together.” (Tiberius 63) This statement supports her thesis of how memories can distort the past. The film also gives us the visual point of view of how it can affect you as stated in Tiberius’s essay she also points out how there are three different types of Joel’s present in the movie. Tiberius explains how the movie shows you three different types of Joel’s, the bitter Joel, the spotless Joel, and the sadder but wiser Joel. She explains how all these Joel’s mistakes can affect their future. First Tiberius’s explains how the spotless minded Joel whose mind is clear, no worries and yet no past experiences to learn from. This can affect any relationship that could possibly happen with Clementine because they would head down the same road that they have just previously left for a reason. She states how this Joel is not wise at all and incapable of making good decisions for himself. Tiberius’s talks about the bitter Joel which is one whom is upset with Clementine and acts on impulse to have her erased from her memory because she did it, he was acting based off emotions...

...Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind The film, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind follows the relationship of Joel and Clementine. From both recently breaking up together, Joel in an attempt to win her back finds out that she has had her memory erased of him. She does so by a company called Lacuna, which is able to select memories of people or a time and erase them. Joel ends up doing the same thing and while his memories are erased of her, he realizes what a huge mistake it was. During this film, there are interweaving story lines that all weave within Joel’s sleeping state while his memory is being erased. The main character Joel’s moral decision he makes during the film is to have his memory erased of Clementine like he did of her. While Joel is hurt at the realization that Clementine has done this, he decides to have the procedure done as well so that they both are not hurt when they see each other ever again. Joel as well believes this is the best option as in the film, it seems she has already moved on with someone new and believes he should do the same for himself. This idea of erasing his own memory as well leads to him following the Utilitarianism view. Utilitarianism says that one should always choose the action which consequences yield the largest net gain of happiness over pain, for everyone (Turetzky, 2013). Joel believes as he does not want to feel the pain of loss for Clementine anymore. As well as the Doctor who gives the procedure likens the experience...

...client, Will Mannon, is being prosecuted for violating the Mississippi Holocaust Denial Act which makes it a misdemeanor for anyone on state property to deny the historical account of the Nazi Holocaust of the 1930’s and 1940’s. The statute cites the “extreme distress inflicted on large swaths of the state’s population when the atrocities of the Holocaust are publicly dismissed.” Mannon was videotaped last spring giving a lecture on the campus on The University of Northern Mississippi in which he repeatedly described accounts of the Holocaust as “hogwash.” Our client believes the entire statute violates the First Amendment of the federal Constitution. The state of Mississippi (acting through the State Attorney General), however, asserts that falsehoods are not protected speech because the law permits citizens, despite the first amendment, to sue for defamation (libel or slander) when a defendant spreads vicious lies about the plaintiff. QUESTION PRESENTED Does the Mississippi Holocaust Denial Act violate the...

...In the short story, The Yellow Wallpaper, the author, Charlotte Perkins Gilman uses first person narration to describe protagonist character, Jane’s mental state of mind. The narrator conveys this message through yellow wallpaper. The wallpapers color/smell and pointless pattern communicate the narrator’s unspoken suppressed feelings/emotions and thoughts. Furthermore, the symbolic detail of the wallpaper reveals the narrator’s mental state of mind, confusion and absence from reality. The bedroom is imparted by the narrator as a room that is big/airy with sunshine galore yet confined by barring windows and a bed nailed to the floor. “It is a big, airy room, the whole floor nearly, with windows that look all ways, and air and sunshine galore”...

...every day, same community’s , and same colors every day… In the book The Giver, there is really no seasons so, no winter means no snowmen with cute carrot noses, no summer means no tubing on the lake, no spring no beautiful morning daffodils, no fall means no leafs to rak into a pile to jump into, every day just the same oll’ weather. In the book Jonas had never experienced weather/ seasons, he had the same weather every day of the weak, for the rest of his life. So when the Giver had transmitted the memory of cold and warm he felt like the community was missing something, on page 80 chapter 11 jonas states”He realized that the touch of the hands felt, suddenly, cold.” Jonas had never experienced that, the cold. In the United States there is different weather all around you, Florida during the winter has sunshine and hot weather, while montana has super cold and very little sunshine. Along with climate control, there was really no traveling, you really only saw the people in your community, and when you got out to see the world you would travel to see a new community, and it looked exactly like the one you called home. In the U.S. every where you go is different, no house look alike, no street has the same name and the same amount of restaurants, everywhere you go is just different. But in the Giver society, every house has the same layout and the same furniture, everything just look the same, practically a community of sameness, nothing ordinary. In chapter 11-12 the Giver and...
