Everyone sees her as just ‘another fat’ girl but Libby can see so much more than that in herself and so can Jack.

In the opening of this film we are introduced to our hero, Truman Burbank, a seemingly normal man living in the small peaceful town of Seahaven. Little does Truman know, his town is not only filled with kind people but also thousands of hidden cameras that film his every move each day. Although Truman does embark on the hero’s journey, his journey differs in some ways. While in college, Truman meets two women: Meryl, a temptress, and Lauren, a goddess. One evening on a beach, Lauren attempts to reveal the truth to Truman, Unfortunately, she is not successful and is forced to leave to show and discontinue her contact with him. One

My initial reaction to the film was of utter shock at the brutally raw reality of the film. Upon reflection and commentary from other sources, the film’s simple yet vastly effective filmmaking techniques of developing the explicit and implicit meaning of the film. The explicit meaning, as

One interesting fact that I have noticed deals with the movie When a Man Loves a Woman, the meetings the heroine of the movie is saddened by the fact that she is no longer the same person, she was while she was drinking. She is no longer as much fun, or no longed as interesting as she once was. Many of the people at the "real meeting" expressed the same concern, that the fun life is no longer fun, and they are not the same people as they once were.

In the hit film of 1995 -Clueless, director Amy Heckerling effectively uses film techniques to further portray the deep meaning of the story. The film tells the story of a selfish teenage girl who transforms into a responsible woman. In the beginning of the story, the main protagonist, Cher, is depicted as a narrow-minded, extravagant teenager. Heckerling uses vivid colour and extremity to show Cher’s unique characteristics. For her own interests, Cher begins to help others but begins to find more than just her own outcomes in the process. The director uses indirect actions to show the change in Cher’s character. At the end of

G. Stanley Hall once said “Man is largely a creature of habit, and his activities are more or less automatic reflexes from the stimuli of his environment.”. This quote from the late psychologist speaks volumes to the question: “Are we all products of our environment?” and to both of the Wes Moores. Both started their lives in Baltimore which was a very difficult place to grow up in at the time. Both didn’t have a father in their life. Although they started on equal grounds why did one get sentenced to life in prison and the other become a Rhodes Scholar and become one of the youngest officers in the entire U.S. Army? I believe that we are all products of our environment because of who we look up to, how we are houses are run, and the environment we live in.

In the memoir, Discovering Wes Moore, the way the original Wes Moore and the second Wes Moore conducts their lives and the circumstances in which they were raised in directly corresponds to the ways in which they are different. First of all, one major difference is that the original Wes Moore lost his father when he was young, while the other Wes Moore's father left him and his family. These two distinctive events in both of their lives affected them in very different ways. The second Wes has to deal with the fact that his father chose to leave him, while the original Wes has to deal with his father’s death. Also, the original Wes went to Valley Forge in junior high school to get more serious about his

The Baltimore Sun newspaper supplied an article about Wes Moore, a local who had just earned a Rhodes Scholarship. The same paper also ran a series of stories about four men who had robbed a jewelry store and allegedly been involved in the killing of a police officer. The police were still on the hunt for two of the suspects, who were also brothers. One of the two was named Wes Moore. After the newspaper ran the stories about the robbery, the manhunt, and the trial, Wes, the scholar, wrote a letter to the other Wes, a now convicted murderer who was serving a life sentence at Jessup Correctional Institution. His letter contained a jarring question: How did their lives end up so different? That first letter led to an ongoing correspondence in which the two discovered that a teens’ success is decided by his environment, education, and the expectations held to him.

Each day of our lives, we are faced with decisions that have the ability to impact us greatly. Many of us choose the right paths leading ourselves to become something better while others make enough poor choices to leave them with a negative impact on others and themselves. In the introduction to his memoir, Wes Moore reflects, “the chilling truth is that [Wes’s] story could have been mine. The tragedy is that my story could have been his” (xi). Throughout the novel, Wes tells his story and the other Wes Moore’s; comparing the factors that led them to living completely different lifestyles. Apart from the few similarities in which both young boys shared, there were numerous differences as well. These differences in behavior, choices, and

Although the two Wes Moores had similar backgrounds, there are many reasons as to why their lives took very different paths. One of the key reasons they had different lives is that the author Wes Moore had a hard working mother and sisters which made him respect women. The other Wes had a very lazy mother and no sisters, therefore, he did not respect women very well. The author Wes’ father died when he was little and the other Wes’ father left him when he was young. Author Wes’ mother forcefully sent him to military school to get him on the right track and the other Wes followed his older brother Tony into drug dealing.

Sarah and Angelina Grimke were the first women abolitionists and they were avid supporters of women’s rights. They were both very different in the ways they went about presenting the issues to the public. Sarah tried to convince people using religion while Angelina was just more matter of fact about these issues. They both did speeches and wrote pamphlets and books. Sarah wrote a lot more about women’s rights than she did the abolition of slavery. Angelina mostly did public speaking and wrote mostly about slavery.

Likewise the intercuts of footage also reveal in Sally and Brian a relationship which will never last. As their eyes meet across the room, Fosse deliberately pans back to show the extreme distance between the characters. And although their relationship is now sexual, Brian's echo of Sally's feminine self concept 'doesn't my body drive you wild with desire?' reflects a man as tentative about his sexuality as Sally is about anonymous domesticity.

Howie and laura are two great kids and very thoughtful kids right? They got into to trouble and they had some hope. I would call these preeteens shy and brave and trustful. I say this because throughout their adventures they show empathy and they show love. My overall statement is that they support each other during the hard times.

More than 115 years ago the first motion picture movie was created.

Brandon ends up falling in love with a very unexpected type of girl. He first sees her in the hallway inside of the school. He tries to say “Hello” to her, but she does not even lift her head up to acknowledge him. He then sees the same girl outside the school on a bench with her bookbag and a notebook. He says “Hello” to her again and she still does not look up from her notebook. When she does look up at Brandon, he says “Did you really not hear me?!” (Covell, 2012). Emily shows him a sign language signal to show him that she is deaf. She then writes in her notebook “It's alright. I'm Emily.” (Covell, 2012). He then writes his name back to her. One of the themes being shown in this part of the movie is that no matter what differences two people have, there can still be a connection on a higher level.
