Change in linear. It’s a consequence of moving forward. You can have positive and negative effects, sometimes no effects at all. Change is unpredictable. The texts I have chosen to analyse are the poem, “All the world’s a stage” by William Shakespeare which explores the change during different parts of one man’s life and the stages he goes through. The second text is the movie ‘Star Trek” (2009) is a sci-fi themed movie about a rebellious young man named James T. Kirk whose life was changed by the faith of a Starfleet captain who sees in the rash youth the special qualities that a member of Starfleet must possess to succeed in the challenging and often dangerous world their profession puts them in. I believe that the texts I have chosen display …show more content…
‘All the world’s a stage’ shows a man completely un-wanting of change as he sees there is no point (quote, effect) why did Shakespeare write it like this, look at the techniques in the quote. Do some deep stuff and more stuff about how the dude doesn’t want change. Contrasting from the previous text, James Kirk doesn’t reject change for himself so much as rejecting change out of spite for everyone that is telling change, that he could do better with his life. Though he was rejecting everyone’s idea of himself, towards the end of the film he becomes a better person anyway and in a better place. This change begins when Christopher Pike, Kirk’s aspiring father-figure, dare’s Kirk to join Starfleet (quote, technique, effect. Why did they do this, what film techniques (close-up, swish pan, cut shot) elaborate like crazy, linking …show more content…
In ‘All the world’s a stage” Shakespeare writes of a man who has a negative attitude towards growing up and life in general. This is shown through the negative words that Shakespeare uses to describe his life. For instance: even at the earliest stage, “At first the infant, mewling and puking in the nurse’s arms” is shown being bad? Analyse the quote, write the effect. Why did Shakespeare write it like this? Due to the man’s attitude toward change and growing up he experiences life at its worst, remembering only the bad experiences. In contrast Star Treks entire franchise is based on learning news ideas, embracing different cultured, moving forward and accepting change. It’s only when you look closer you see individuals that are struggling the accept change or try to become better. We see this in James T. Kirks beginning when he lives in Iowa and is basically a drop out with no prospects though really smart. Kirks own change over a short period of time results in him being an overall better person, Kirk’s attitude towards change is a determined positive one, as seen in his hearing, “I don’t believe in no-win scenarios” where Kirk changes a no-win test so it’s winnable. Kirk changes also had a tragic backstory, his father dying when he young and living with an abusive step-father. The previous texts character did not have the excuse of a tragic backstory and yet he still looked on the world with disgust. Kirk

Life is constantly changing, like clouds in the sky; always shifting and turning. People never really know which way life will turn next, bringing them fortune or failure. When you look at how things change it is best to compare it to something that you can relate it to. The changeable nature of life can be related to the novel 'The Bean Trees.' This is a book written almost entirely on dealing with changes in the characters lives.
The Talented Mr. Ripley by Patricia Highsmith and Macbeth.-Why are they similar? What archetypes can we find in them?
Change is something you are probably familiar with. In “Beneath the Smooth Skin of America,” Scott R. Sanders talks about many changes in his life. The author starts the story looking throw the eyes of himself as a child. As a child he remembers that all that was in his sight was all he could see. The author’s best example of this is he says, ”Neighbors often appeared…where they came from I could not imagine” (27). As the author begins to see more by leaving the area he was around so often he starts to see more and more things. He started moving around to different places and started seeing the things that he had not see before. The author points out many things that he began to see like the stores
Tony Robbins said, “To effectively communicate, we must realize that we are all different in the way we perceive the world and use this understanding as a guide to our communication with others”. Shakespeare’s writing has had many different ways of being presented because people perceive it in different ways. Whether it is a literal representation or a spin, directors like to show viewers the way they perceive the text. In the movie version of Hamlet the director, Kenneth Branagh, wanted the viewers to find Shakespeare interesting and full of action and drama. Kenneth chose the right direction to go in to keep the audience’s attention but it
Shakespeare has been a large influence on modern day life for decades. His use of language, heritage, psychology, and history has influenced directors, artists, writers, students, and so many more individuals in their everyday lives.. In Brave New World, the author, Aldous Huxley makes many references and allusions to multiple excerpts of Shakespeare’s plays over the entire course of the novel. While he references a lot of Shakespeare’s plays, many quotes come from Romeo and Juliet, The Tempest, and Hamlet. In Brave New World comparisons can be made through quotes and similar character analysis’. Shakespeare had a large influence on Huxley’s novel through his different themes of love and romance, and his use of using main characters to represent past characters in Shakespeare’s plays.
Shakespeare had enlighten the readers to look at the bigger picture. When you look at the picture we seem to look at what we are shown but Shakespeare taught with Julius Caesar to not just see what we are shown but to see outside of the picture, the picture outside of the
Change, which is a part of nature, is inevitable. Change can range from good to bad, and oftentimes will not be as obvious as, say, people disappearing off the face of the earth or transforming into an insect. Even little changes can create chaos, such as a single miscalculation causing a drastically inaccurate solution to a complicated math equation. However, the way a person reacts--positive, negative, or in between--is determined primarily by the change itself.
Friedrich Nietzsche once said, “[h]e who has a why to live for can bear any how.” Nietzsche’s quote embodies the essence of Shakespeare’s iconic character, Hamlet; Prince of Denmark. Throughout the play, Hamlet transforms from melancholic and overly-analytic into a resolute and strong-willed character. Additionally, it is not until later in Act I that Hamlet discovers his purpose to prompt the growth in his character. His transformation is observable sequentially throughout Acts I to V as Hamlet finds a balance between thought and action, a clear state of mind, value in ambition and a strengthening belief in providence.
Shakespeare's plays are full of references to what is now obscure- classical myth, falconry, astrology, or the theory of 'humors' that were thought to determine personality within so many of his characters (?S??Far?). Shakespeare wrote about themes and events we can relate to even now nearly 500 years later. 'He wrote about us-you and me, our friends, our families, the people we work with and play with and argue with and go to bed with, the characters we see on the evening news and elect to public office' often times comparisons are often scary (Seder iii). Shakespeare also liked to make fun of many of his characters. His plays show that he can be funny and has a humorous personality, often times even in his tragedies in which
Shakespeare words from the quote means to me is that anyone can be whoever they want to get their get their achievement, and their greatness. The message in this quote means that it doesn’t matter who you are, how you act, or even how you look because what has come into mind and play is how you are going to be who you are in life and what your true self is. This is because if you're a tomboy, or even a girly girl who likes makeup and all of that, you may have people stare at you because the girls want the girls to be them and the boys want to be them but in reality, change is ok because no one likes to be ordinary everyone likes to be different. No one can change you into who you want to be because no matter how much your parents try they will not be able to change you. Shakespeare quote is an thoughtful mind in the heart because your heart tells you who you really
Gregor A wise person once stated, “Isn’t it funny how day by day nothing changes, but when you look back. everything is different.” This quote explains that change is inevitable, it will always take place, and it takes place as a surprise most of the time.
You can be a loud person one minute, but then you like going to the library; so then you’re all quiet the next. It can be as small as that. A significant change in your life can be from a dying fish, to a collapsing building. Either way, it’s still a significant change as long as it changes you in a big or small way.
“All the world’s a stage the men and women merely players”. This line is the beginning of the “The Seven Ages of Man” and is a recurring question throughout the poem. You may wonder how the world is stage, and through his use of similes, metaphors, and imagery Shakespeare explains this elaborates on this question.
