The movie "A Bronx Tale" is about a young boy named Cologero Anello, who grew up in an Italian neighborhood called the Bronx in New York City. At nine years old, Cologero already had a role model and that was Sonny LoSecchio, the neighborhood's mob boss. After he saved Sonny from getting arrested for killing a guy over what seemed to be a parking space. Sonny got him involved in gang activities, gambling and serving at the bar. His father Lorenzo Anello, a New York City bus driver didn't want his son to be friends with Sonny because he wanted him to focus on school and not get involved with gangs at the bar. Cologero didn't listen to his dad and throughout the movie he learnt important life lessons from these two men. Even though Sonny and Lorenzo were different in their way of raising Cologero, they also played as father figures to Cologero.

In usual fairytale movies, filmmakers intend to make films that give happy endings with simple miraculous entertainments. However, in the fable movie, Edward Scissorhand, the director, Tim Burton, positions the viewers to understand the significant meaning of particular issues. “E.S” is can be seen as a story of stereotypical suburbia with social criticism. In this essay, starting from analysing this film and providing dominant discourse, the use of characters will be discussed followed by debate of technical and symbolic codes which help to put up the discourse. In particular, this essay will consider the technical code of camera angle and symbolic codes of colour which emphasize the dominant discourse.

In the book Everything I Never Told You, there are many different elements and techniques used within the book. The technique that I want to go into more depth on is the use of symbolism. I specifically want to focus on the symbolism in regards to Lydia, Hannah, and Nath’s love of astronauts and space.

In the stories To Build a Fire and A Worn Path, Jack London and Eudora Welty tell the stories of two protagonists going on arduous journeys during the winter. Phoenix Jackson, the protagonist of A Worn Path, is an elderly lady hardened by the trials of life as a black woman living in the Southern United States, prior to the Civil Rights Era. She is surprisingly limber, resilient, and healthy for her age and has assumed the responsibility of caring for her sick seven- year- old grandson. She diligently provides him with the medicine necessary to treat him for the ingestion of lye. The young man, the protagonist in To Build a Fire, is a young northerner who is responsible for himself and his dog. He is besieged by the petulance of youth and ignores the advice of his elders, depending instead on youthful bravado to guide his decisions. Ultimately, on these two journeys of survival, both protagonists will depend on their life experiences to guide them through. The young man will be guided by his limited life experiences while Phoenix will depend on her wealth of knowledge to choose her path to survival.

In the movie A Bronx Tale, young Calogero witnessed a shooting outside his house. The cops show up at his house later that day to question him. The police officer had Calogero go to where the police had a line of men who were suspects of the shooting. Calogero got to Sonny, who was pretty much the head gangster of the neighborhood. Calogero knew it was Sunny but chose to tell the police it wasn’t any of them. The lie that Calogero told to the police is morally wrong because according to Pollock, in the ethics book “Morals and morality refer to what is judged as good conduct. (Pollock, 8, 2012). I would say that the lie he told

In East of Eden, John Steinbeck explores human knowledge of good and evil, and the power of free will man holds. This book is about choices and understanding - the struggle to grasp and understand the fight between moral extremes, and the choice man has to pick and choose on what side of the spectrum he lies. East of Eden explores extremely differentiating types of people - some with a nature holy enough to mirror prophets, and some disturbed to their very core, only to be described as ‘monsters’. But every character, regardless of background, faces questions of morality, whether they are indulged in out of personal growth or interest, or thrusted upon them by unholy circumstances.

On November 29, 1981 at about 7:30 A.M., Natalie Woods’ body was found floating face down in the Pacific Ocean just 300 yards off of Catalina Island wearing only a flannel nightgown, blue wool socks, and a red down jacket. It was the weekend after Thanksgiving when Woods and Robert Wagner, another star whom she married before, divorced with a few years after their marriage, and then remarried after divorcing another man, went on a yacht off the coast of Catalina Island’s Blue Cavern. Christopher Walken, who was working on the science fiction film “Brainstorm” with Woods was also invited to join them on the yacht. Captain Dennis Davern, a family friend of Woods, was captain of the yacht at the time. That Saturday afternoon, Wagner and Woods

We all have to make choices in life, and sometimes those choices aren’t the best choices to make. Holden’s journey of life is full of sadness and depression and Chris who is searching for true happiness and meaning to his life. Chis from Into the Wild and Holden from The Catcher in the Rye are similar because they both seem to be struggling with themselves and society but they are different because their decisions caused their lives to have different outcomes.

“Stop waiting around for your life to get better and start getting better with your thoughts, decisions and actions.” (Mbiaka). What does it mean to seek for a better life? Earning lots of money? Getting married and having a family? Well, that is not the case for the characters of the book Paper Towns and Of Mice and Men. Seeking for a better life means finding the truth about yourself, having a companion to be with and for some it can only be achieved by fantasies. The book Paper Towns and Of mice and Men both convey the theme of seeking for a better life through identity, friendship and imagination.

Fall Of The Marquis, Rise Of The People The French revolution did not appear out of thin air. Tensions arose between the average citizen and the aristocrats, that lead to one of the bloodiest times in history. In Charles Dickens’ novel, A Tale Of Two Cities, the narrator’s disgusted tone toward the Marquis St. Evremonde reveals the clear divide in the socio-economic hierarchy that played an immense role in sparking the revolution.

In the novel A Tale of Two Cities, Charles Dickens establishes that revenge is sinful by using the French Revolution’s rebel peasants, fire, and water. Dickens discreetly uses fire and water in several instances to describe the relationship between revenge and anger, and the cycle the two create. As the years passed in France, the violence the rebels exhibited grew worse and worse. “In such risings of fire and risings of sea-the firm earth shaken by the rushes of an angry ocean which had now no ebb, but was always on the flow, higher and higher, to the terror, and wonder of the beholders on the shore-three years of tempest were consumed,” (Dickens 225).

I chose to pen my literary analysis paper on the short story, “The Other Two,” by Edith Wharton and it was a straightforward choice fitting to the fact that I can draw a parallel to Mrs. Waythorn in a number of ways, and can compare situations in my life to hers even though the time periods are dissimilar. The title of the story, “The Other Two,” refers to Alice’s two former husbands and the story explains how they come to be intertwined in the lives of Mr. and Mrs. Waythorn. This story was published in Collier’s Weekly in 1904 and speaks to the standard of appropriate behavior for women at the time. With that being said, I must admit that it was astonishing to me that a woman could be twice divorced and not be a pariah of respectable society

62 year old David Wood, who was on a routine fuel drop, got out from his chopper, fell into the 20 meter deep crack. He was rescued after almost 3 hours and was flown to a nearby research center for treatment, with medical advice coming from Australia over telephone. However, he succumbed to his injuries on Tuesday. At present, the authorities are working hard to fly his body back to Australia.

In the 21st century, the Internet is turning over people’s perspective toward literature and is slowly making us forget the real value of it. Electronic devices like computers or TVs making people lose concentration and patience quickly. Electronic literature, however, is a great symbol of “hopeful monster”(Hayles), which can mobilize the capability that literature can do into different ways. In 2005, electronic literature called Façade was lunched and become popular. By comparing with a short story, For Esmé—with Love and Squalor by J.D Salinger published in 1950, in my opinion, For Esmé—with Love and Squalor is literature because of its cultural arguments and distinct style of writing while Façade is not considered literature because its
