    Analysis Of The Shawshank Redemption

    Director Frank Darabont wrote and directed the film “The Shawshank Redemption” which was based on a novella by Stephen King. “The Shawshank Redemption” touches our hearts and creates warmth in our feelings as it makes us a member of the family as Frank Darabont tells the slow and gentle tale of loving friendship and hope. A Shawshank newcomer (White guy who worked in a bank) in 1946 Andy Dufresne (Tim Robbins), bangs up a 20-year friendship with a black guy named Red (Morgan Freeman) while in prison. It uses the sweet, soothing and soft voice overs of Red to include us in the story of men forming a community in prison. It isn’t one of those films where it offers us quick, in cloud nine feelings. It accomplishes in avoiding the familiar.…

Henton describes everybody just lets a reader feel as if they are in the book looking at the scenes going on. It is written so well that reader's will not be able to put the book down once they pick it up for the first time. Within sentence parts you will find that everything is grammatically correct and extremely enticing. The book will produce the reader into feeling like they want to jump into the book so they may be with the…

    12 Angry Men

    The movie Twelve Angry Men begins with an eighteen year old boy from the ghetto who is on trial for the murder of his abusive father. A jury of twelve men is locked in the deliberation room to decide the fate of the young boy. All evidence is against the boy and a guilty verdict would send him to die in the electric chair. The judge informs the jurors that they are faced with a grave decision and that the court would not entertain any acts of mercy for the boy if found guilty. The mood is apparent at first when the majority of the men vote "guilty" and it almost seems as this man's fate is sealed. Juror #8 was the only man to vote for "not guilty".…

    12 angry men

    I believe in the beginning the 2 main jurors who were basing their decisions on prejudice were mainly Jurors #3 and #10. Juror #3 more based on prejudices of young men, particularly because he had such a horrendous relationship with his own son, I feel like this case really hit him close to home and really affected him in a personal way. I believe he let his feelings got in the way of his logical thinking and was practically projecting the anger he had towards his son towards the young men on trial, who had been accused of a horrible crime against his father. Juror #10 was more prejudice of the young suspects race, making statements like; “You know how they are,” and “They’re all the same, all born liars”.…

    12 angry men

    Reginald Rose, the author of 12 Angry Men, writes his book using complex characters and word choice that effects their characterization. In the book 12 Angry Men Reginald Rose uses abrupt but cultured text is straightforward picturesque at the same time when talking about his characters. Roses denotation and connotation affects his characters and their attitudes throughout the entire book. When he explains his characters thoughts and actions it helps portray them differently from each other. In 12 Angry Men Rose portrays his characters several different ways. For instance he uses denotation to make some characters sarcastic and dry. Rose also portrays his characters as light hearted and playful when he uses connotation. His portrayals of each character are different but similar throughout the story. You can clearly see similarities between some characters as well as distinct differences in others due to Roses word choice. Roses denotation and connotation play a big part in the portrayal of each of his characters. When Rose uses connotation in his story he makes the word choices more cheerful and positive. But when Rose uses denotation in his story he takes a deeper darker path in his word choice. For instance when juror 3 says to juror 8, Let me go Ill kill him Ill kill him Rose is using denotation. Or when juror 3 says Shut up he is also using denotation. When I say Reginald Rose makes his word choice picturesque I mean he uses imagery. Reginald Rose also uses diction when describing his complex characters, thats what makes them so straight forward. The fact that each of Roses jurors has a different type of word choice gives them each a unique way of being portrayed. Each of Roses characters is also cultured. When I say cultured I mean that Rose has added some of his self into each of the characters. It seems that each character has some real world knowledge and street smarts and thats what makes them each similar to Rose. Overall Reginald Roses use of abrupt but…
