    Aristotle once said, “There is no great genius without some touch of madness.” Everyone has their flaws, but that doesn’t mean that they’re not intelligent.

    William Hall once said, “People have a lot in common with one another, whether they see that or not.” This fact was made evident through reading The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseni and East of Eden by John Steinbeck, two novels about the lives of people thousands of miles apart but take on the similar challenges and try to lead decent and fulfilling lives. There were minute differences between the novels, but for the most part the books were very similar. Through analyzing themes, motifs and symbols within these novels, one cannot help but recognize the cords that unite humankind and defy all boundaries.…

    The television show Lost, on ABC, is quite similar to Lord of the Flies. Lost is about a group of people who are shipwrecked on a mysterious island. They are adults, but their interactions are a lot like the children’s in the book. There are many fights and conflicts between the characters on Lost. There is a leader and someone else who believes he should be the leader, like Ralph and Jack. In fact, one character even hunts pigs! There is even a monster on the island on Lost and it scares the characters. Lost has a lot more fantasy elements than Lord of the Flies, but they’re still very similar stories.…

    Game of Thrones is a thrilling TV series that sets in a fictional time that resembles the medieval time and unravels the journey of powerful families playing a deadly game to claim the Iron Throne. As a fantasy epic, the Game of Thrones presents audience a glimpse of a world filled with supernatural threats, witchcraft, dragons and bloodsheds. In this essay, I argue that the Game of Thrones is a present-day manifestation of a freak show due to the characters displayed in the show and explore the similarities and differences between Game of Thrones and freak shows we have studied through analyzing two characters: Tyrion Lannister, a dwarf of a noble family, and Melisandre, often referred as The Red Woman who performs magic to eradicate one of the dynasts.…

    Lost the Tv Show

    The TV show Lost is a story about a group of people who survive a plane crash and end up on a mysterious island. Beyond the premise of the show there are deeper themes that run through out the show. While the first season may have been primarily about the survivors realizing that help isn’t exactly on the way and that they must band together to survive. From the very beginning we begin to see conflicts arise when matters of trust are involved. As the survivors begin to know one another better the skeletons in the closet for everyone are eventually revealed. Examples include when Jack Sheppard, the de facto leader of the group of survivors, found a mug shot of one of the other passengers who was being escorted by a US marshal. Kate was wanted for the murder of her father. Sayid Jarrah, another survivor, was previously a torturer for the Iraqi Republican Guard. James “Sawyer Ford” was a conman who conned couples out of their money; he also left behind a daughter whom he refused to accept in to his life. Needless to say this caused a major point of contention in the aftermath of the crash as many erroneously thought he had something to do with it. Not all of the passengers’ past is as dark though. John Locke was paralyzed from the waist down before the crash on the island. Mr. Eko was a reformed Nigerian gangster turned priest after an accident killed his brother. One thing all these characters have in common is their general path once they get on the island and how these characters’ development portrays the larger theme of redemption.…

    Lost In America Analysis

    In Dave Barry’s, “Lost in America”, I feel the narrator was not only expressing his regret for having missed the signs of how deep his mother’s grief ran but, also for a chance to relive those final memories with her as a way of making it seem as she is still alive, even if only for a moment. I also feel he intended for his words to act as a warning to others to watch their own loved ones for signs of depression, especially someone who has gone through a tragedy like Dave’s mother. His mother’s inability to move on or make a commitment to anything after her husbands death were all signs of a deep depression hers sons missed, probably due to their own grief. She was silently telling them she needed help in different ways, unfortunately Dave and his…

    Multiple threading is very common in modern television shows but not in past shows. Johnson uses four graphs which clearly show the amount of plot content in relation to the running time of four episodes from different shows, to depict changes of complexity in TV dramas. In one drama, Dragnet, the narrative only focuses on one plotline; a few years later, the numbers of plotline have been increased in another drama called The Sopranos. The evidence strongly supports Johnson’s statement: Multiple threading becomes more complex and abundant in modern television dramas. However, it is not the only reason that makes TV shows more complicated.…

    In order to educate Frankenstein's monster, Mary Shelly chose certain novels for him to find and read. Novels that let him reflect on himself, his goals, and teach him about human nature. Sorrows of a Young Werther by Johanne Wolfgang teaches the monster of suicide and infatuation, this allows him to understand his feelings towards the people living near the hovel. Paradise Lost and Frankenstein's personal journal allow the monster to see how he was created and what his place is within society. Finally, Lives unfortunately gives him an unrealistic hope for his future. If the monster had read To Kill a Mockingbird, then he would have understood how to go about the cruelty of society. Each book that the monster read shapes who he becomes at the…

    Supernatural isn't as smart as The X Files , nor is it as cleverly written. The X Files was ahead of the time in many ways and is still unique in others, in that it was a mature drama which took its subject matter very seriously. It managed to blend sci fi and the paranormal skillfully so that you almost didn't notice the seams. Supernatural in a way is like The X Files - lite. It knows what it is and I think is a more focused show then its predecessor. From the get go it lays it out to you that it is situated in a world where ghosts, demons and witches really do exist. Once that is established its on with the show and there is no looking back whereas the X Files constantly had the viewer questioning and thinking about what he was seeing and hearing. Where The X Files was the thinking mans science paper, Supernatural is a camp fire ghost story.…
