21 Grams

Jack is a guy who doesn’t like to follow rules, unless they were made by him. With that fact, one can see that Jack truly does respect the rule even though he might not like it.

Jack lead a life that would not make most envy him. He suffered from many traumatic events, most of these can

Jack not only changes the people around him and makes them see that there is a brighter day, but he also rebuilds their morals and confidence. He does this in various scenes of the movie. For instance, when Jack asked Dedmon to challenge the NCAA and all Dedmon was getting back was rejection letters. Jack asked him if he was

On the contrary, Jack chooses how to act regardless of his role models, meaning that he can be held accountable for his own actions. From the beginning of the memoir Jack is depicted as an immature child whose dream it was to transform into someone different. Jack’s dreams of transformation get further and further from reality predominantly due to how he decides to act and the people he chooses to spend his time with. Jack is responsible for his own actions as he is the one who actually decides how he acts. A moment in the memoire where Jack’s delinquency is depicted is when Jack states that “[he] was a thief.

Throughout the book, Jack shows that he has no concern or empathy for anyone or anything else. For example, on page 82, Jack

     While the film is in color, sometimes it appears to be in black and white. There are no bright colors in the film. Most of the colors are either browns, beiges, whites, blacks, and grays, so that even when the characters are outside or in daylight, there are contrasts between lights and darks. For example, at the beginning Mr. Gettes is seated in a somewhat dark office, yet he is wearing an all-white suit. Later, when he goes to examine the dried up river bed, his black suit contrasts with the bright sunlight and light colored sand.

It is evident that Jacks anxious personality plays a prominent role in his smuggling job because he is frightened by the possibility of getting caught and the consequences he might face.

     Jack had many delusions in the thick of his mental breakdown. One in particular was a man named Grady who continuously told him to get rid (murder) of his wife and son. Some of his other delusions occurred while he would sit at the bar and drink with the bartender Lloyd, or see a strange woman in room 217, who later seduces him. Some of these delusions could have been “ghost,” however, they were never really told whether they were, or were not. Jack could have developed these delusions himself in order to gain control of life. The bartender served him alcohol, which became his dependent and courage to follow through on his actions. The woman in room 217 could have taken his mind off of his wife so he could get the job done, and Grady could have been his strength to follow through with his actions.

Throughout the movie, Jack is suicidal. He self-pity himself and thinks he is somehow being penalized for his deeds and what he told the murderer on the radio, he even start talking to a doll saying, “Do you ever get the feeling you’re getting punished for your sins?”. There are several DSMs connected to being suicidal. One is fatigue and loss of energy, feeling of worthlessness or unwarranted and misplaced guilt on a daily basis. Also, weakened capability to think or focus. Lastly, persistent thoughts of death, repeated thoughts of suicide with no detailed strategy or suicide attempts. The idea of killing yourself originates from more than one part of the brain. One such place is the Frontal Lobe where reasoning, planning, parts of speech, movement, emotions, and problem solving

Even when he does meet the Scholarly Attorney, he does not question him. If he did delve into his past, then he could have found out that Judge Irwin was his real father. This could have prevented Judge Irwin’s death, as Jack may have refused or would have not even been asked to find “dirt” on him (Warren 74). In addition, it is ironic that despite being a historian, Jack believes in the “Great Twitch,” which is that life must be viewed in a “mystic vision,” as life is unpredictable (Warren 473). This allows man to “feel clean and free,” as their actions have no effect (Warren 473). The irony exists in that historian study deep into the past to find the reasons for things, and now, Jack has started to believe that these reasons do not exist.

In the book, The Warrior Heir,by Cinda Williams Chima Jack exhibits fearlessness in a way most others will understand. Jack Swift was born a wizard to parents with no such indications. His Aunt Linda, an enchanter who could basically influence anybody to do as she wishes,looks over jack in Trinity, Ohio. Jack was born without a wizard stone, which in most cases means death. His Aunt Linda convinces Dr.Longbranch ( premier wizard from the White Rose) to insert a stone in his body.

It is easy for readers to categorize Jack as a cruel, cold hearted, upper class bigot considering his actions and words. I have to admit I think he comes off that way sometimes. But he also is a lot more than just

Hard worker and patience are two traits that would describe Jack Deputy. Balancing school, work, extracurricular activities, and time with friends and family has helped contribute to how hard of worker Jack is today. Also growing up the second oldest of five Jack has learned that patience is key in many situations. Attitude and effort are some values that Jack finds important in everything that he does. In everything from going to practice to volunteer work Jack always strives have a great attitude and give his best effort. Jack is a great competitor and wants to above average in every thing that he does. His competitive spirit is what drives him to do his best. Jack is very excited is see what great opportunities the St. Joe CEO program will

The pressure and struggle of Jack to become a better person slowly chips ast his sanity until he breaks. Fear of becoming the one thing he has tried to avoid drives this process. Wendy tells Danny, “Your daddy has tried very hard...Because he loves us. And we love him, don’t we?”(King 297). King demonstrates that no one can truly know what another person thinks.

Colours are more important than they are give credit for. A viewers eye quickly catches a bright colour against monotonous background than a blended in color. Its almost human psychology, you notice a man in a bright yellow shirt in a crowded street than a white or grey shirt that blends into the crowd. Use this to your advantage and follow the contrasting colours for best effect. The good thing about colours is that they deeply affect the mood of people. Yellow is believed to elevate people and make them merrier whereas red is believed to be exciting. Talk about manipulating people!
