Identify a character in the film that presented both their public and private self
 I believe that Anthony is a character that showed both his public and private self throughout the film. He was very opinionated about not liking white people and he did not care about what people thought of it. Anthony was very proud to be an African American and it showed throughout the movie. You also got to see a softer side of him towards the end when he discovered the van full of foreign women and children. Instead of selling them like they were brought over to the country for, he decided to let them go free. This showed a very caring and sensitive side of Anthony that we didn’t get to see in the beginning of the movie.

Identify a scene in the film that offered a good example of perception and emotion
 I believe a good example of perception and emotion was when the Persian store owner went to the Mexican locksmiths house to get revenge because he believed the locksmith is the one who terrorized and robbed his store. He took the gun he had purchased with intentions to kill the locksmith, and when he gets to the house they get into a confrontation. The Mexican’s little girl was looking out the door and when she seen the Persian man pull the gun out she ran out to protect her daddy because she had her “magic necklace” on. As she is running out her daddy grabs her to protect her from the bullet that was fired by the Persian. This particular scene showed a lot of perception and emotion by how upset and hurt the Persian man was about his store, to him going to retaliate against the Mexican. You could feel the pain and remorse of the Mexican man when he thought his daughter was shot, but you also see his relief when she wasn’t. He didn’t even retaliate back, he was just glad his little girl was ok and took his family in the house.

    Crash's main white characters are depicted in comfortable positions, both socially and economically. Jean and Rick Cabot, played by Sandra Bullock and Brendan Fraser respectively, are well-off L.A. socialites, as Rick is the District Attorney of Los Angeles. Tony Danza makes a cameo as a television executive producer who tells Black producer Cameron Thayer (Terence Howard), one of the few financially secure (but not exactly socially secure) minority roles in the film, to make one of his actors speak "more black" because that character was "supposed to be the dumb one." John Ryan, played by Matt Dillon, and Tom Hansen, played by Ryan Phillippe, are both police officers in the Los Angeles Police Department. All the main white characters are never shown struggling with their financial situations. Meanwhile, many (but notably, not all) of the minority characters are portrayed as destitute or powerless socially. Michael Pena's character Daniel is a working-class younger Hispanic family man with a young daughter. The daughter is shown sleeping under the bed because she heard a gunshot, which we find out scares her because she had a bullet go through her room in the old house they have just moved from, which Daniel comments was a "bad neighborhood." He works as for a 24-hour locksmith who goes on a call at Jean and Rick Cabot's house, where after being robbed at gunpoint by a pair of young Black car thieves named Anthony (Ludacris) and Peter (Larenz Tate), Jean shouts out that she wants the locks changed because she thinks Daniel will sell off key to his supposed gang member friends. Daniel is within earshot and hears her comments from down the hallway. We also see Daniel fix the back door lock of Farhad's convenience store. Daniel warns that the door itself needs replacing, which Farhad, an older Persian man, seems to misunderstand and eventually leads to a screaming match where Farhad accuses Daniel of being a cheater. Yet Officer Ryan's main plight in the film deals…

    "He hit him eighteen times in a row, an act which took perhaps three or four seconds...Over the referee's face came a look of woe as if some spasm had passed its way through him." The writer also uses imagery to produce the sympathetic effect. The way the writer paints a picture of thw punches and the look on tje ref's face show that the punches were very painful, and it was not an easy thing to watch.

    There are many different ways that I would like to explore for a reference in emotions as it takes an important role in our life. Talking about emotions, I am evoking them as the one thing that reveal unintentionally, most of our unique personal characteristics. I hope to know more about this in both psychology and philosophy, how does it transform from the way we feel to create our facial expressions in particular. I am also interested in gaining more knowledge about the emotions classification.…

    In both the novels “The Sound of Waves” (By Yukio Mishima) & “The Woman at Point Zero” (Nawal El Saadawi), many motifs have been used to show strong emotions within the characters of both novels. But, the most important motif which reoccurs in both novels is the “eyes”. Since eyes are described as the “mirror of the soul” (a German proverb), they are successfully used by El Saadawi and Mishima to describe feelings of their chracters.These eyes portray their aggressive and sometimes their peaceful emotions, which shapes the plot also. Therefore, by analysing this motif of eyes, one can gain insight into how efficiently the authors have used them to demonstrate their emotions.…

    These touching emotions are arranged in chords and discords, must fit the exact tone of the real emotion, and must be practiced for years for proper mimicry. An actor's talent depends on perfectly executing the outer signs of feeling, so the audience "falls into the trap" (200). A great actor decides on an exact point in the script to deliver the emotion, leaving the actor's mind free of needless, draining, and distracting emotion, only exerting their bodily strength. The actor knows they are not the character, but the audience has that…

    Anthony’s view of people from another colour, race, gender or economic class was strongly offensive, he assumed that “white people” were always racist towards blacks. “Did you see any white people waiting an hour and a half for spagagetti”(Haggis, 2004) Anthony was under the impression that although the waitress was black, she saw that they were black and were not going to tip. Anthony’s views of any other race they his own, is very negative, but in his eyes African American people should all stick together, and never go against each other.…

    In Theory of Knowledge the emotions are treated as one of the four ways of knowing, together with language, reason and perception. Since the emotions have traditionally been seen as more of an obstacle to knowledge than a source of it, this may initially seem surprising. There are some good reasons for the traditional suspicion of the emotions; for an angry, frightened or infatuated person is unlikely to see clearly or reason well. That is why we…
