    Beowulf Essay The poem of Beowulf proves to be a controversial topic as to whether it is fact or fiction. Although Beowulf consists of ferocious monsters‚ glorious heroes and other fictional assets‚ there is much evidence that points toward a much more factual interpretation. Proof of fact comes from many archaeological findings which are thought to be dated to the same time and location of when and where this old poem was thought to originate. This evidence of fact has come from findings of grave

    The story “On the Danger of Reading Fiction”‚ Thomas Jefferson clearly shows his dislike for the world of fiction novels. Jefferson has stated that fiction novels are “time lost in that reading” and thinks it should be instructively employed. It’s apparent that anyone who is a fiction novel enthusiast could indeed become offended by the comments made by Jefferson‚ but at the same time need to understand that he made those comments in an entirely different era than today’s modern way of thinking.

    Tarantino In Pulp Fiction

    One of my favorite aspects regarding Tarantino style is how he chooses to exclude characters or their faces from shots. This can be seen in several times in Pulp Fiction as well as Kill Bill vol 1. In Pulp Fiction we don’t actually see Marcellus’s (Ving Rhames) face till late in the movie all we see is the back of his head with a single Band-Aid on it. Ultimately the effect of this shot is building up Marcellus and giving him an intimidating aura. Tarantino does a similar style of shot when introducing

    Genre and Science Fiction Genre‚ as defined by the Oxford dictionary (2010)‚ is “a style or category of art‚ music‚ or literature”. It is a term that is easy to define but hard to understand. The mere division of what one genre is compared to another has been problematic for academics and scholars for centuries. As noted by Robert Allen‚ genre study has become “the division of the world of literature into types and naming of those types”. This has led the study of genre to become a more scientific

    Quentin Tarantino has established himself as the quintessential neo-noir film maker since the passing of Stanley Kubrick. Kubrick’s specialty was creating surrealist imagery through limited dialogue and scenes filmed in “real time”. Tarantino has transposed the film making ideologies of Kubrick by adding complex dialogue and grotesque violence. Both men captured the film making styles of their era’s with postmodern neo-noir visuals as well as dialogue that spoke to the culture of their audience.

    Pulp Fiction is a movie that almost everyone today has seen. However‚ it can be a difficult movie to understand if one is only looking for a straight story. Pulp fiction seems to have multiple stories being told almost simultaneously. Some will say it is about two hit men or a boxer‚ but the truth is there is no story behind the film. The whole purpose of the film is to parody every type of film movement created. From documentary as a style to Surrealism‚ this film leaves no movement out. The
