There were no signs of a plot whatsoever and a mysterious narrator was being philosophical. What on earth could he possibly mean by “Did that burst of bubbles announce the gurgling death of another submerged reference?” I continued reading in every free minute‚ determined to finish the book in time‚ avoiding having to write the essay on the eve of the

Man is a heartwarming film directed by Barry Levinson that tells the tale of two brothers reunited as adults that build a bond through a cross country that will last a lifetime. The two and half hour movie was created in 1988 that boasted a cast of Dustin Hoffman‚ Tom Cruise and Valeria Golino. The drama/comedy shows that everyone is special; sometimes you need to know that person to see it.

Upon that discovery‚ he searches for someone to help him which results in the audience meeting Professor Jules Hilbert (Dustin Hoffman)‚ a very learned professor in literature and prose.
