John Madden The Proof Analysis
Proof Media Assignment
The movie, proof, directed by the talented John Madden had a much more effective and successful ending than the Pulitzer Prize winning proof written by David Auburn in the year 2000. Little things such as added scenes gave readers and critics a more in depth understanding of the character development of the main characters and gave us a better understanding of their personality.
The added scene at the end of the movie that portrayed Hal running like a cheetah chasing after Catharine’s taxi to give back her notebook was very emotional and it allowed the audience to really understand his true feelings for Catharine and it woke her up from that paranoia that Hal was trying to use her and later on when Hal gets a

    I feel like the first sentence of Earl’s statement is true because those two-thirds of adolescent and adult usually start drinking at a young age. That would make it easier for them to get attached to alcohol . Having people take a written test just to get a drinking license could help but it wouldn’t help as much. I also think that stores would lose money because not everyone that drinks is going to have a drinking license. I disagree with Earl Rochester argument.…

    John Madden once said, “Discipline is knowing what you're supposed to do and doing it as best you can... On third down and short yardage, the Raiders don't jump offside. That's discipline - not a coat and tie, not a clean shave.” John Madden was a football player in the NFL. He was drafted in 1958, by the Philadelphia Eagles, but an injury in his first season ended his career. Later he became the Oakland Raiders Linebackers Coach. After two seasons, he was selected to be the head coach of the Oakland Raiders in 1969. Madden began broadcasting after retiring from coaching in 1979. He broadcast for Fox and won 16 Emmy Awards.

    Carnegie has inspired women and men to use their funds to their communities. Although he advised other wealthy to use their money to benefit the communities and help in the preservation of the political system and America economy. I believe Mr. Carnegie’s argument is persuasive and is still relevant today. The wealthy, as well as small business owners, are the job creators in our society today. Their vision and leadership help to support the lower class in earning a decent living while allowing them to realize their own potential. The lower class today has more opportunities that were not available to them generations ago. While government is there to provide a safety net for those less fortunate, it is the wealthy and job creators that…

    There were tons of key moments that impacted me and once that just did not make a big dent. I already listed a few moments that had a negative effect on me. The International Sign Language Theatre Festival towards the end of the film was amazing. I wish I could have gone, there were different acts from around the world, different types of acts, and a great thought. It was interesting to the different types of sign language across the world. It is similar to speaking, for example, certain countries have different type of language and that is the same with signing. Its inspirational characters and messages really made me think deeper into deaf culture. I wanted to learn more about deaf culture and more signing than just American Sign Language. The four many characters all touched my heart in different ways. Robert, the actor, no matter…

    There are times when people are put in the position in which they must choose between being selfless and helping others or not doing anything and only worrying about themselves. If the people choose to disregard their own safety and put another person’s life before theirs, it shows how ethically responsible they are. For an action to be ethically responsible, it must be done out of someone’s own intention to ensure the wellbeing of someone else. Ethical responsibility is defined as the obligation to do something that is morally sound in order to make sure a person is in good physical and emotional health. In the article titled, “Can the Law Make Us Be Decent?,” written by Jay Sterling Silver, the author states that there is not a federal…

    I do not think that Victor Kelleher is an exceptional thriller writer. However I do agree to the statement which says that “Del-Del grips like a vice and holds the reader taut, on a nerves edge, until the final page. Victor Kelleher is a very talented thriller writer, the technique where he drops small clues in the text as to a possible ending is one to be admired and his fantastic techniques which he uses is the best thing about Del-Del, Unfortunately Kelleher did not show his greatest work in this narrative. His technique where he dropped fake trails did not create anticipation like he had hoped for the reason that he overused this technique too much. The ending was also a tad lame and also would have perturbed the reader. We also found that the shifting of genre bewildered the reader and was too big a risk for such a small book.…

    A scene that differs greatly from the book to the movie on hitting our emotions was when the girls are taken away from their families. In the movie, this scene is extremely dramatic. We get a film-shot back and forth of the girls leaving with their expressive faces, as well as the mothers crying and moaning, falling on the floor out of desperation and exasperation. Visually we see the girls being taken away, slowly getting increasingly further away. This makes it extremely emotional and expressive for the viewer. In the book, the expressions of the little girls are described as “…tears streaming down their cheeks” (44) and “The two frightened and miserable girls began to cry, silently at first, then uncontrollably…” (45). Although when reading this we get a reasonably clear image in our…

    Starting a national system of licensing with appropriate penalties for alcoholics or problem drinkers would help our country a lot. Drinking can be caused by just trying it for the first time or friends force you to drinking. Some might do it to relax ,others will because they are feeling depressed about something and they will drink until they are drunk. Earl Rochester's argument is stating that they should make a license for alcoholic drinkers and I agree on that topic.…
