The Silence Of The Lambs And Hannibal By Thomas Harris
Following the phenomenal success of The Silence of the Lambs and Hannibal, Anthony Hopkins returns as brilliant madman Hannibal Lecter in this thriller based on the novel in which author Thomas Harris introduced the character. Will Graham (Edward Norton) is an FBI agent with a rare gift for tracking serial killers who brought Hannibal Lecter to justice; however, his confrontation with Lecter proved to be a bloody, near-death experience, and afterward Graham retired from the Bureau, moving to Florida to spend his time with his wife, Molly (Mary-Louise Parker), and their son. However, a particularly grisly killer is on the loose, and Jack Crawford (Harvey Keitel), Graham's one-time mentor at the Bureau, asks him to return to duty to find him.

    Roald Dahl's Lamb To The Slaughter

    I believe that Roald Dahl wants us to think Mrs. Maloney is a victim. I think this because in the story Mrs. Maloney looks to be a nice, kindhearted woman who is devoted to her husband, even though he would ignore her presence when she was speaking to him. "I think it's a shame," she said, "that when someone's been a policeman as long as you have, he still has to walk around all day long." He didn't answer. Although Mr. Maloney ignored his wife and was not interested in what Mrs. Maloney had to say she still continued to speak to him a respectful manner. When Mr. Maloney decided to tell Mary that he was leaving her for another woman she tried to deny his words in her mind. “And he told her. It didn't take long, four or five minutes at most, and she sat still through it all, watching…

    Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse-Five

    "A Launching Pad of Belief: Kurt Vonnegut and Postmodern Humor Kevin Brown Humor critics have argued that satire is not possible any longer, largely due to the horrors ofthe twentieth century and the postmodern belief in the lack of objective truth, especially in relation to morality. Because of these developments, they argue that no moral stance can be taken through satire; instead, satirists now write merely for pleasure, not to instigate any change in morality. Several postmodern authors, including Kurt Vonnegut, however, still attempt to provide moral messages through their writing. John Gardner, for example, attacked existentialism in Grendel.…

    Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse-Five

    To begin, Slaughterhouse 5 was, for me, a difficult book to understand. The first time I read it, I became too enraptured by the time travel and aliens to look intently at what the book was about.The second time through, I saw a conglomerate of details I had missed, but each one of them just caused me to like the book further. Though Slaughterhouse 5 ended up being a heavier topic book than I had originally thought I still enjoyed many of the components of the book such as the style, the important topics it brought light to, and the fact that it made me question a multitude of ideas.…

    Kurt Vonnegut's 'Slaughterhouse-Five'

    Novels are written to give a message to the world; this message can be good or bad, important or superficial, critical or supportive, but every story needs an initial purpose. Slaughterhouse-Five, written by Kurt Vonnegut, was published post World War II and follows the life of Billy Pilgrim who witnesses the fire-bombing of Dresden, Germany during that time. On the surface, the story seems to be just a jumble of confusion and chaos without any significant insight into life, war, or human nature. However, it is by means of the perspectives and details of the novel that Vonnegut brings about his point. Through Slaughterhouse-Five, Vonnegut portrays both mankind's constant struggle to try to control life and also its inability to actually…

    The Skull And Bones, By George W. Bush

    Those who were spiritually sensitive sensed that God preferred Bush over Gore in the 2000 Presidential election. Despite being a member of the Satanic Skull & Bones fraternity (as depicted in the Hollywood Movie “The Skulls”) and living a life of drugs and alcohol, George W. Bush had had a genuine born-again experience with Jesus changing his heart. Unfortunately, after Bush was elected he started two unethical wars (Iraq and Afghanistan). All he needed to do was pray to God and ask “God, should I start these wars?” The answer would have been an emphatic “No!” Bush then could have confronted Cheney and Rumsfeld and whomever else and said “Look, I know you want to go to war, but God told me not to.” He did not do that and tragedies…

    Citizen Kane by Orson Wells

    By many, Citizen Kane is one of the greatest films ever made. Orson Wells, at age 25, directed, produced, and starred in this film. Citizen Kane is a memorable film for countless reasons. The film brought about controversy because it fictionalized the life of William Randolph Hearst, a powerful newspaper publisher. The film draws remarkable parallels with his life and his relationship with his mistress. There is also speculation that the film is loosely based on Wells' life as well. This movie tells the fascinating story of the life and death of Charles Foster Kane, a narcissistic newspaper runner, politician, and a wealthy millionaire. What makes this movie spectacular is not only the acting of the actors, but the symbolism and cinematic effects. The techniques used by the cinematographer brought this film to life. This is what sets Citizen Kane apart from other films.…

    Silence of the Lambs

    The Silence of the Lambs, a psychological thriller directed by Jonathan Demme, is a movie that has a lot to do with change. Each of the main characters in this film, in their own ways, has a desire for change. For example, Clarice Starling wants change because she wants her nightmares of the lambs to go away, Dr. Hannibal Lecter wants to be moved to a new asylum with a view, and Jame Gumb, aka Buffalo Bill, wants to be a woman. Also, this movie pays a lot of attention to being a female and still being strong. Just because Clarice is a woman does not mean she can’t do the same job as a male, matter of fact, it seems as if she does it better than a male has.…

    Anne Bradstreet- the Prologue

    Anne Bradstreet- the Prologue

    Anne Bradstreet was one of the few extraordinary females who earned a place with the male writers of the seventeenth century. Bradstreet’s upbringing had a vast amount to do with the way she was educated. Her father gave her the advantage of good tutoring. Having open access to a library full of books quickly made reading one of her favorite past times and she took an interest in the poets of the past. This interest of Bradstreet’s helped her write touching poetry that is still read today. Anne Bradstreet’s “The Prologue” depicts Bradstreet’s opinion on the role women played in a male-ridden society during the seventeenth century and reveals her feelings about being one of the first female writers during a time where they were scarce. Anne Bradstreet had become especially fond of poetry through her mother’s actions, which she had begun to write herself; her works were kept private though, as it was frowned upon for women to pursue intellectual enlightenment, let alone create and air their views and opinions. She wrote for herself, her family, and close circle of educated friends, and did not intend on publication. However, Anne's work would not remain unnoticed. Her brother-in-law, John Woodbridge, had secretly copied Anne's work, and would later bring it to England to have it published, albeit without her permission. Surprisingly, “The Prologue” was published in the 1650s. “The Prologue” can be described as a piece written for the comprehension of women. In this poem, Bradstreet wrote about women and the rights they were seldom granted. She felt as if her work was a masterpiece, while men viewed it as another piece of corruption. Many believe the poem was offensive to the male gender and even more so, a demeanor of their superiority. She wrote this poem to alert men that though she was a woman, she was worthy of their attention and contemplation. The poem is also self-depreciating. She speaks in a relatively worthless tone. She has become highly convinced that…
