Lob's Girl Analysis
Most Memorable Story

I think Lob's Girl is most memorable story. I think this story is memorable because of its sadness and its power in loyalty. My first reason is that Lob kept going back to Sandy from 400 miles away. Second, Lob saved Sandy’s life by risking his by jumping in front of the truck. Next, Lob had done the impossible to be with Sandy all because Lob missed Sandy. Finally, loyalty can be very powerful through anything, even

    It is through the enriched poem China… Woman Oodgeroo explores the aspect of life within different cultures and their inextricable link between their ancient cultures and their identity today. “the great wall, twins itself… like my rainbow serpent” It is through this imagery that places the audience to view the close connections each culture has to their ultimate ancestry. Comparing her aboriginal identity to China’s culture, explores story telling however, ultimately, allows the audience to make connections that ancient cultures are still present, and that may had a similar belief of the connectivity to land. It is further exploited through the strong metaphor of “falling, crushing… weeping wild flowers” that positions the audience to view that individual’s spirits and identity has not only been physically crushed due to colonisation however also mentally and emotionally drained. The alliteration promotes and demotes the strong connection of the nature world and people and the calling to be reborn, restabilised and renowned.…

    In the story “So I Ain’t No Good Girl” Written by Sharon Flake, I felt that the story could use way more conflict and feeling to it. It should make me feel the way the characters feel.

    The ethics triangle is a model to follow to help militate against unethical decision-making. If Mayor Burns used this model it might have helped him make better decisions.

However, in the following case study this does not appear to be something Mayor Burns practiced. For the purposes of this paper the case study “Gotta Love Those Bread & Butter Unions” will be analyzed. The source for all subsequent quotes is from this case study.…

    I like this story by Jill Nelson. Jill Nelson and her family were living well for a black family back in the 1960s. Jill's father would have the family sit at the table for Sunday breakfast and preach his own version of the sermon. Jill's favorite Sunday breakfast sermon was the "Rockefeller wouldn't let his dog shit in our dining room" sermon. Her father was smart because he made Jill try to be number one all the time. For 15 years straight Jill's dad would preach to her and her family that number two was not good enough. Jill's father told the family to be the best at everything they do and don't take any mess from anyone. The Sunday breakfast sermon's left Jill confused, but she wouldn't never…

    His Girl Friday Analysis

    • 366 Words
    • 2 Pages

    In His Girl Friday, continuity editing plays a big part in creating the smooth flow of the overall film. One major scene in which continuity editing is seen is in the bar scene with Hildy, Bruce, and Walter. We see them enter in a long shot to establish the setting and what they are doing in the place. When they sit down a jump cut is used to get a closer view of the three. From their shot reverse shot is used, so that as Bruce is talking, we can see Hildy and Walter’s expressions to what he is saying. The camera then does a close-up of Hildy to reposition the camera on the axis so that when it cuts to Walter the shot is of just his face and the back of Bruce.…

    Lady Of Landuc Analysis

    • 1386 Words
    • 6 Pages

    The Lady of Landuc’s actions were a consequence of Yvain's dishonorable oath on courtly love. Yvain married The Lady of Landuc saying, “I’m wholly yours; I’ve pledged today to yield to you and to obey all your commands.”(Bédier, 1973, p. 56) Yvain’s pledge is relevant because it plays a major significance later when he neglects her. Yvain ignored his oath completely when she commanded him to come back to her within a year of fighting for his pride of self-reputation as the best knight. Yvain became aware of how he overstayed and his lady sent a maid to take what she had given him to protect him in battle, “The ring will be your mail and shield.” (Bédier, 1973, p. 73) When the maid confronts Yvain she accuses him of treachery and makes it clear…

    Ambrose Redmoon once said, " Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgement that something else is more important than fear". In Paolo Bacigalupi's novel, The Windup Girl, this particular quote is pertinent as the symbols, conflicts, and characters in the novel indicate that to be truly free,one must have courage to face one's fears. As a result, the symbols in the story show that being able to face one's fears can give one hope for the future, the conflicts demonstrate that perseverance is required to get what one wants, and the characters show that being courageous can lead one out of dangerous consequences.…

    In the novel The Edible Woman, author Margaret Atwood tackles the difficult subject of anorexia nervosa. Although this subject is often handled with kid gloves by many writers, Atwood’s novel candidly addresses how different food related stigmas affect the main character’s day to day existence. In the late 1960's, young women faced a society that expected them to conform to certain qualities in both appearance and demeanor. The portrayal of young women in popular movies, television and music of the time period led to internal conflicts among women who struggled to achieve the norm put forth by society. Young women everywhere were convinced they needed to look and act like Marcia Brady and turn into Carol Brady even if meant sacrificing their…

    Movie Analysis: Gone Girl

    • 306 Words
    • 2 Pages

    The movie Gone Girl, can be analyzed through van Gennep’s theory, rite of passage. Throughout the movie, the experience of the main character Nick, has three stages which match the theory’s threefold scheme that consist of separation, liminality and incorporation. The first stage begins at the beginning of the movie, as the wife of Nick, Amy goes missing. Nick’s life as a husband has ended as he is separated from his wife and his marriage becomes incomplete. Nick’s situation perfectly matches what Nye wrote about the first stage, Separation, in his book, “In this way the person is detached from the roles and obligations that have been associated with their live” (Nye 2008, 146). The second stage involves crossing the thresholds, the journey…
