Chonnie 12KBS Children of Men is a thought-provoking dystopian film directed by Alfonso Cuaron. It explores the idea of mankind’s own impermanence. Nearly two decades of human infertility have left society on the brink of collapse. There are many important scenes that help to develop the film. I found the last scene particularly intriguing as it left questioning viewers to come to their own conclusions. Children of Men explores the key ideas of hope and faith in the face of futility and despair

My dad was driving in the fast lane‚ just because the fog wasn’t as bad toward the center of the median. I remember him swerving sharply because what he thought was a deer lying in the

Samuel Coleridge’s use of paratext in “Rime of the Ancient Mariner”‚ henceforth referred to as “Mariner” is interesting and problematic as it offers itself as another part of the narrative‚ instead of placing itself separate from it. This paratextual problem persists in the underlying issues found in the title; these would include the strange word choice in the title of rime‚ and the framing of the mariner as ancient. The later edition of “Mariner” elevates this problem with the addition of the marginal

Chrysanthemums” serve to underscore the emotional barriers which surround Elisa‚ as well as to highlight her sense of alienation from “all the rest of the world” (Steinbeck 192). Through the “high gray flannel fog of winter.” Steinbeck utilizes complicated symbolism to characterize Elisa (192). Not only does the fog obscure her vision to accurately interpret the actions and persons around her‚ but it also conveys her impression of severe isolation.

The imagery of the fog that is personified in ’Prufrock’ suggests the vacillation of humans deciding to act. The fog merely lingers outside and eventually ’curled about the house‚ and fell asleep’. Both characters are confronted by the difficulty of action rather than its unpleasantness. ’Prufrock’ and ’Portrait of a
