    In the movie version of “Boys and Girls”, there were many differences, such as the beginning. In the movie, we open into the scene where the first horse is shot. The girl and Laird are both watching, however another difference to the original short story is that Laird has an adverse reaction to the death of the horse.

After the escape of the horse, the father brought the horse back to the house alive, whereas in the book they butchered…

    The movie Me and Earl and the Dying Girl is directed by Alfonso Gomez-Rejon and based upon the original book, Me and Earl and the Dying Girl, by Jesse Andrews. The film features Thomas Mann (Greg), Nick Offerman (Greg’s dad), Connie Britton (Greg’s mom), RJ Cyler (Earl), Olivia Cooke (Rachel), and Molly Shannon (Rachel’s mother) as its main characters. The movie can be divided into two parts; the first is when Rachel is diagnosed with cancer, meanwhile she stays strong-minded and positive. The second part occurs when Rachel can no longer remain hopeful through her treatments and essentially leaves herself to die. The movie may not be your typical “cancer love story” but in its entirety it has an amazing plot and contains a very beneficial use of voiceover.…

    Reading Wintergirls was eye-opening and heartbreaking for me because I began to understand more about the mentality behind anorexia nervosa. I always thought that individuals diagnosed with anorexia knew they should be eating, and were choosing not to because they felt they needed to stay thin. Reading this novel and reading the diagnosis in the DSM made me realize those diagnosed with anorexia sometimes don’t feel they need to eat. The idea that not eating makes them stronger and shows their strength was a new take on the disorder that I had not considered. Because I always think of food as being strength-giving, while reading Wintergirls I got to hear the inner-monologue of Leah as she tells herself to be strong and resist the food. Her inner-mantras telling herself she was strong and capable to deny food were sad, but they allowed me to understand the thoughts of someone with anorexia.…

    Susanna Kaysen, in her memoir Girl, Interrupted, recounts her eighteen-month stay at a psychiatric hospital in Massachusetts. The events in the book took place in the 1960’s, meaning outside the hospital’s reinforced walls, the world was bustling with racism, social activism, and the Vietnam War. The story is not told as a chronological series of events, but rather as a collection of memories, darting between various periods of Kaysen’s visit. Throughout her stay at the hospital, Kaysen met a variety of women who influenced her life profoundly, including a self-proclaimed sociopath, a girl with a face disfigured by burns, and a meth addict.

    The song “All I Want” by Kodaline refers to Holden’s feelings toward Phoebe near the end of the book. For example, when Holden is delusional, he thinks he is going to die of pneumonia and says, “...so finally what I figured I’d do, I figured I’d better sneak home and see her, in case I died and all” (Salinger 156). Holden’s one wish before he dies (or so he thinks) was to go see his kid sister Phoebe. Holden has a very close relationship with his sister, and they are both very fond of the other. This mindset is displayed by the members of Kodaline when they sing “‘cause if I could see your face once more/ I could die a happy man I’m sure” (Kodaline). While “All I Want” is admittedly about a romantic relationship and not one of a sibling nature,…

    Grief is a strong and overwhelming emotion that no one likes, but it is one that is inevitable. Merriam-Webster's dictionary defines grief as a "deep and poignant distress caused by or as if by bereavement" (Merriam-Webster). Individual experiences of grief differ but the most common one, unfortunately, is the loss of a loved one. Artists have the unique ability to portray their own interpretation of different topics through their individual work. These interpretations are in form of music, films, paintings, plays, or poems. Art provides a great way for people to express their emotions and opinions.…

    Sleeping Beauty Analysis

    The Sleeping Beauty in the Wood, by Charles Perrault, has a clear Christian theme. This is because it was written in France during the late seventeenth century for the enjoyment of royalty. The readers would undoubtedly be Catholic, the religion of the royalty, so Charles Perrault wrote for that audience. The fairy tale begins with the princess being granted gifts from several fairies shortly after her birth. This is similar to the sacrament of baptism. Also, the prince and princess marry shortly after they meet, so as to ensure sexual abstinence beforehand.…
