Analysis Of The Book ' The Night Before A Major Movie '

Looking at the insight from historians such as: Roy Rosenzweig, Nick Salvatore, and Lizabeth Cohen, on the history of American labor, we can better understand the issues, challenges, and successes of ordinary Americans during a time when industrial capitalism and corporations took over as the leading principle in American society. The depth of character of immigrants or ordinary Americans to meet the demanding needs of what an industrial society requires is truly amazing. I have reviewed three historical monographs in accordance to their copyright and each describe how persistent ordinary, working class Americans confronted or beat back those demanding needs. The order is as follows: Eight Hours For What We Will by Roy Rosenzweig; Eugene

The novel “Night” is a vivid representation of a man’s loss of faith from the beginning to the end of the catastrophic era in which this book takes place. As a young boy Elie’s inquisitive mind directed him to the synagogue where he would study the Kabbalah’s revelations and mysteries. Here is where “Moishe the beadle,” a friend to Elie, would sit with him in the synagogue and they would talk for hours about the intriguing secrets of Jewish mysticism. One important piece of advice that Moishe told Elie was, “There are a thousand and one gates allowing entry into the orchard of the mystical truth.” This simply meant he would need to pursue these answers on his own. However, Elie believed Moishe would help him bind his questions and answers as well, into one. These meetings were interrupted when Moishe was extracted from the Sighet where he experienced malice.

As a young adult, it is difficult to grow up without parents and still be tough and brave. In addition, teens can be emotional and overreact at times. In the novel The Outsiders, by S.E Hinton, a fourteen-year-old kid named Ponyboy Curtis feels different emotions that make him stand out from other Greasers, or “hoodlums”. Ponyboy, the youngest of all the Greasers, is a great example of a teen who feels isolated, brave, and emotional throughout the novel.

Due to the massive popularity of the books, Warner decided to capitalise on their popularity and turn them into films, and due to the movies, paraphernalia and huge cult following, the Harry Potter franchise is worth an estimated £2.2 billion (Simmons, 2005). The Harry Potter franchise is a good example of the theory of ‘psycho-social’ (the psychological relationship readers have with the books) and also we can see how the franchise plays on these feelings to ‘mediate’ messages to various social and cultural groups, by looking at this franchise one can see how inner emotional security is developed and used for profitable gain.

There are many ways authors write their books that can vary from style, experience, setting, and language. One author that I would like to talk about is Walter Dean Myers and the book that I would want to analyze would be Somewhere In the Darkness. This novel speaks about a poor little boy who was adopted at the age of two after his mother died and had to move to Harlem leaving his family behind . He also had a speech impediment and couldn’t speak or write as well as others but that didn't stop him. The book “Somewhere In The Darkness” is about a boy named Jimmy who was adopted by a very kind-hearted lady after his mother had passed away and his father went into prison. In the book his father is finally released and gave a surprise to Jimmy and takes him to Arkansas to settle down but Jimmy does not trust him. Walter Dean Myers usually writes his books from his own experiences which makes them inspirational, thought out, down to earth, and somewhere relatable to the reader!

In the early 1900’s silent films amazed audiences with images, later talkies impressed with sound, today we have 3D. As technology continues to evolve so too will film genres. Genres, while having some shared characteristics, also differ in terms of stylistic devices used. For instance, the dramatic film “The Notebook” effectively uses color to reinforce theme and has plausible performers as the two main protagonists.

This novel is given at school for various reasons. One of them is that the Outsiders shows conflicts between different social classes. In the novel the two groups were the Socs, the rich, and the Greasers, the poor. The Socs fought with the Greasers because they both thought they were different and superior from each other. This can be compared to schools because in every school there is always someone who is wealthier than others and thinks they’re superior.

Imagine a world where Technology can control you and your future. Technology is what your life consists of and will keep advancing as years go on. A dystopian environment contains all of these factors. In the novel Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, violence is normal for the way life. Montag is the protagonist who is a firefighter unlike anything in the real world, but eventually sees how the job is not suited for him. Montag has to deal with the antagonist Captain Beatty, his boss and control over the firefighters. The book was written in the 50s, explaining how the future with people treat books. In the movie Divergent, directed by Neil Berger, there are five factions that define who you are. You could be fearless, smart, truthful, etc. If

I chose to draw the symbols of the fire department because to me, they play a huge role in the novel. The symbols help give the reader or observer an idea of what the firemen did and what they used to symbolize their job. Last year, my english teacher decided to let us watch the movie of Fahrenheit 451. In the movie, the firemen always came in a fire truck and personally, I thought it was an important image to add to my project. I loved how the fire truck looked so different compared to modern day fire trucks. I looked up a picture of the fire truck from the movie and took in the shape but added in my own details to make it looks less copied and more uniquely designed. Next, I drew the image of a woman with words on her dress burning in a fire.

“Despite everything, I believe that people are really good at heart.” These words have been spoken by Anne Frank, a famous girl of the Jewish faith who lived during a time of darkness and betrayal. This time full of darkness was known as the Holocaust, a horrid time in history where nearly 6 million people of the Jewish religion was murdered due to the selfish actions of Adolf Hitler. Many will state that during the time that Anne lived there were purely evil people who have done horrible things. Those people who make such a statement often pay little, or none, attention to the great people or the great things those people have done. I believe that everybody is good despite everything bad they have done.

“Good morning!” Ray said to his coworkers while walking into the office. “Morning Ray.” Many replied. Ray’s tall slender figure towered over his desk as he looked down on a ton of files. He grabbed his coffee, then got to work.

The aspect of heritage film put aside, Harry Potter also represents Britishness through its main character, Harry. According to Ulrike Kristina Köhler, Harry represents a National Hero. She says that Harry is “the embodiement of the idea of the English gentleman” (Köhler 2011: 16)

“a special relationship between audience and culture in which the pleasure of consumption is superseded by an investment in difference. In fandom, moods and feelings become organized and particular objects or personas take on significance. By participating in fandom, fans construct coherent or cultural activity of their own making which is, potentially, a source of empowerment in struggles against oppressive ideologies and the unsatisfactory circumstances of everyday life.” (Lisa. A. Lewis 1992: 3)

Fandom, both as a community and a culture is interpretative. The term interpretative community was rooted from a literary theorist named Stanley Fish. He established this notion in his book “Is There a Text in this Class?” (1980), believing that the reader holds a core position both in shaping and producing the meaning of literary works where according to him, reader’s experiences affects their interpretation of a text. In his study, Fish (1980) divided the act of reading texts into two (2) categories in accordance with the reading strategies of the reader enabling him/her to interpret the text and define it. First, the same reader interprets different text differently. Second, different readers may interpret the same text similarly.

On my 7th birthday, my least favorite uncle gave me a book titled Alibaba and the Forty Thieves. I was surprised because he is my least favorite uncle for a reason, he doesn’t just surprise you with a gift for no reason at all. Little did I know, he just succeeded in getting me to do exactly what I said I wasn’t going to do all summer long, READ ANYTHING! He knows how much I love the Arabian night’s stories and he used this knowledge to get me to change my initial decision of not reading any book during the summer. So failure to recognize the strength in others makes us blind to our own weaknesses. In the One Thousand and One Nights text, some of its characters experience changes due to the fact that they failed to recognize the strength and abilities or capabilities of other opposing characters.
