Ben Johnson's Narrative

He had been punished for saving the lives of several students and risking the life of his principal when a fellow student had accidentally loaded a live mortar shell. Even though no one died he was expelled for destroying the principal's office. Next Ben realized that being at Evil Spy School was better than Spy School because everything at Spy School hasn’t been refurbished since the Civil War while everything at Evil Spy School was brand new and not worn. “This was a change from spy school, where the dormitory toilets probably hadn’t been cleaned since the Clinton administration”(Gibbs 61). Ben is saying that everything at spy school has been used for quit a long time and hasn’t been cleaned like the toilets and how the showers were shared. “Having a private shower was pretty cool, too. The ones at spy school were all shared.”(Gibbs

At the beginning of the Arrival Ben and his family stayed at their house. One night there were gunshots and screams working their way up the street they lived on, Ben’s mother ordered them to blow out the candle and his father told Ben “If anything happens to me, take care of your mother and baby sister.” After that, the door crashes open and Ben’s father shoots the

At the beginning of the arrival, Ben and his family stayed at their house. One night, there are gunshots and screams heard coming from their neighbors house; Ben’s mother demands them to blow out the candles which lit the rooms and his father told Ben that “If anything happens to me, take care of your mother and baby sister,” (Page 117). After that, the door crashes open and Ben’s father shoots the male intruder to no avail—his father is then shot in the face and Ben

This addition of magical realism by the screenwriter and director to explain Benjamin’s story allows the viewer to have a visual metaphor of how it would look if time ran backwards. Like the Monsieur Gateau’s clock, Benjamin is an anomaly that is meant to defy the mechanisms of time. Yet, Benjamin and the clock both fall short on that front. Throughout the movie, the audience is shown how Benjamin is plagued with the same ailments as others even though he is ageing differently. Just like a regular human being, he experiences the lost of family and friends due to death and has to come to terms with the fact that he too will soon die. Ultimately, this shows that regardless of the way that an individual ages, death is inevitable. Even the clock eventually succumbs to “death” when it is submerged in water during the flooding of New Orleans at the end of the movie as Hurricane Katrina finally hits. Once this happens, the viewer must face the fact that

In May 1865, with a 1000 pound bounty on his head, Ben decided that he and his gang would have to leave New South Wales in order to survive. They first retreated to a unknown area on the Billabong Creek, northwest of Forbes, gathering fresh horse and provisions for a long journey northwards. Unfortunately Ben's whereabouts had been reported to the police by Goobang Mick Coneley, a man who had earlier promised to assist the gang. In late April Ben temporarily separated from his gang, intending to meet them again a few days later at the Billabong Creek.

In like manner, Romero’s stereotypical portrayal of the protagonist Ben was that of an alpha male. Ben differs in nature and demeanor to Barbra. Ben embodied the alpha male, an aggressive, domineering unpleasantly rough hero who was persistent in finding solutions despite various objections. His aggression allowed him to courageously take on the ghouls, even if it involved him stepping outside to fend them off. When a multitude of the undead surrounded the farmhouse, Ben stepped outside and fought the ghouls and successfully slew a small number of the zombies while the other characters stayed inside the farmhouse. Ben also arrogantly asserted his plans above the other characters. A prime

Ben is also a very peculiar character.  The audience first encounters him with the full knowledge that he is dead.  Ben is also the one figure that is able to move freely between the past and the present.  Because Ben represents that which Willy seeks, Willy feels that he can achieve his goal the same way that Ben did and so he believes that "opportunism, cheating and cruelty are success incarnate" (Smith).

Benjamin Franklin’s inventions originated over two hundred years ago. It's almost like he could see in the future. Everything he created then, is now used in the future. Our newspapers have illustrations, which was one of Ben’s many ideas. He wrote the first political cartoon. Bifocal’s are still common today, they helped several people then, and still help many people today. The world we live in depends on electricity for almost everything. Ben was able to discover the nature of electricity, and also how to harness it for practical use. Tall builds today, even use his concept of lightning rods to keep safe from lightning. Ben invented the concept of flippers to help people swim better when he was very young, we still use them today! Ben helps

The film opens with a tight close-up on Ben’s face, which immediately established him as the main character. The close shot of his face with a plain white background makes him seem isolated and very much alone. His blank expression does not change as the shot slowly widens and zooms out to reveal that he is on a plane surrounded by other motionless people with equally blank expressionless faces.

Later on we learn that Ben killed his mother because he was so still hurt about the way she treated him when he was a young boy. He tries to cover up what he did because he thinks Jean knows so he kills her to cover up his mother murder. But Jean painted a picture in her living room but no one has been to Jean living room. So Ben and Clara are cleaning the living and then Clara leaves Ben in the living room by himself and he erased himself from the picture so no one else would find out it was

Once Ben becomes missing, people don’t search for him but instead call to ask where he has been. After about a week everyone in his life ceases to call or look. Annie is the only one to evoke the memories of Ben, the disabled man who became primitive
