Interview By Cindi Leive Analysis

In “Why Movies Still Matter,” by Richard Brody, Brody clarifies about Raftery’s published article, “Could This Be the Year Movies Stopped Mattering,” and believes the approach of his article was directed the wrong way, yet providing valid points. By going into depth, he defends his opinion on why individuals should still be aware about the movie’s importance and existence.

In “A Century of Cinema”, Susan Sontag explains how cinema was cherished by those who enjoyed what cinema offered. Cinema was unlike anything else, it was entertainment that had the audience feeling apart of the film. However, as the years went by, the special feeling regarding cinema went away as those who admired cinema wanted to help expand the experience.

Now, some of the main characters do show where they have matured in great lengths as the tale unfolds. For starters, the helplessness, regret, mourning, and guilt that is felt after the first shooting is something that adults would feel. However, this is somewhat overshadowed by the lessening of said guilt when the realization that there were five other shots fired besides Twain’s. Then, deciding to leave the war after the first shooting because he realized he was not capable of what was needed was an adult decision. Yet, the continuing on with the company until the end of the tale is childish in a way of not wanting to disappoint or do something his friends are not doing. This leads to his adult observation of noticing the differences the other camps had to his own and how prepared they are for the war than his company is. Finally, I found the last childish act was leaving at the end when he had made the decision weeks ago, but decided to wait until the rest of his company had come to the same state of

Sandra Cisneros is an influential, activist poet who is engaged in teaching the Chicano community and is a strong voice for the Latino community through her writing. Cisneros has a Mexican father and a Chicana mother which made her part of the two different communities. Cisneros’s work is often influenced by her observations of the people in her community and her writings include many different types of communities. In “His Story” and “Woman Hollering Creek” communities of women influence Sandra Cisneros’ characters. Some of the communities help and others hinder. Overall, the communities impact each narrator's sense of identity.

Even though Elie Wiesel and Dina Linik had many differences they still have some interesting similarities . One of the few characteristics they shared was strong willed . They both were going through really tough moments and still continued on no matter what reither it was for themselves or not . They both also witnessed and encountered with other jews through a difficult tight transportation method which was really difficult and uncomfortable to be in for countless of hours . Also , they both were paid in ratios of bread by working hard and doing what others say . Lastly another similar encounter that Elie and Dina experienced together was that they were both in a situation where the area they were in was getting bombed .

It appears that we have more than a few things in common as you previously mentioned.  Like you, I have come to understand how important it is to be knowledgeable about our nation's history.  Understanding the path that has brought us to where we (as a nation) are today and acknowledging those who have influenced that path, is embracing our imperfect present, and pursuing for a better future.

I do agree that one should use all four principles in life because it provides an equal balance, however I do not agree that utility is the most important principle. The world is not always black and white, I believe that there are gray areas in life. Every situation is different, just because a person does a bad thing does not mean that they should be punished and condemned to hell or prison. I do not feel that your argument is rationally persuasive because a lot of other factors matter when someone has done something wrong. If a person committed a murder due to a untreated mental illness because his family couldn't afford healthcare, or let's even say his mom just wouldn't seek treatment for him. Now at 20 he's committed this hainous crime because of his illness. Do we just throw him in prison or do we seek the medical treatment he should of had a long time ago? Do we treat him the same as a person who knows right from wrong when we obviously know that he can't possibly know that what he has done is wrong?

She also mentioned that she looks for people who can adapt quickly to change. I found this beneficial because when I go to a job interview, I will know what employers are looking for. However, I found two other questions to be beneficial.

I read Anna Deavere Smith’s excerpt several times. This is a very amazing and inspiring writing that speaks truth. I feel that when I attend a performance I want to be inspired; furthermore, I want to be moved by the performer. To me it’s amazing when an actor, speaker, dancer, or singer makes you think, or touches you on a completely different emotional level. I love seeing movies, but often find myself bored with some the of options because its the same old love story or action film, and the ending is so predictable. I love when some of my favorite books become a movie; however, they cast an actor who will create buzz for the movie. They don't always turn out to be the right person for the film; subsequently, that emotion you seek to get

We differentiate several types of issues using the public address system all over the building to announce what the issue really is over the microphone and speakers. This is used to give real-time information and instructions. The alarm is not differentiated, any time there is an emergency like a tornado or earthquake. The alarm goes off, as a warning signal for people to take safety precautions.

Lewis and Clark, Chief Cut Nose, and Allen Pinkham, are connected through events and actions.

Ludwig Leichhardt was born on the 23rd October 1813 in the village of Trebatsch. He was the forth son and sixth of the eight children of Christian Hieronymus Matthias Leichhardt, farmer and royal inspector and his wife Charlotte Sophie. on the 23rd of May Leichhardt was awarded a medal by the royal geographical society of London for recognition of the increased knowledge of Australia.

"It's my career just as much as it is a passion. Staying relevant is difficult in this industry, and my concern over my source of income and livelihood should be understandable. It's a passion, sure, but passion doesn't pay bills. Like everyone else, we have to be good at our chosen careers. At least, we should be. That's not always the case, is it?" Her mind drifted to the actors and actresses she had met throughout the course of her life, those that appeared because they were a pretty face with mediocre acting skills. And for many of them, they had disappeared as quickly as they had come; peaking in a bright light and fading off into nothing, much like a meteor that burned up in the

Whether we want to admit to it or not, Hollywood and film-making influences our lives in significant ways! Movies do not simply entertain us; movies also have the power to shape our worldview through story, because “. . . worldviews are often best expressed as stories” (Stratton, Hollywood and Higher Education). Stories prove so powerful because they allow audiences to connect; Paul J. Zak states that “Stories that are personal and emotionally compelling engage more of the brain, and thus are better remembered, than simply stating a set of facts” (Zak). Johnston claims that when moviegoers go to the cinema, “we go to find ourselves in the stories” (99). Thus, it can be clearly seen that stories have a significant impact on the human experience. Chapter 1 of Johnston’s Reel Spirituality, provides several compelling examples of the power of film shaping and impacting individual’s lives; for example, the man who decided to act on behalf of Jews after seeing Schindler’s list (25), and the little girl who found hope in Belle’s story in Beauty in the Beast (27-28), are both examples of stories impacting and influencing lives.

Suzanne Lenglen taught others that girls can do sports to. Suzanne was a very bold lady. She always taught others that girls can dominate to. Also she displayed that she was very bold and that she didn’t care what anyone thought of her. She showed the world in a different perspective. Furthermore suzanne dominated the tennis court inspired women and girls around the country. Someone once said “She felt about a love set as a painter does about his masterpiece; each ace serve was a form of brushwork to her, and her fantastically accurate shot-placement was certainly a study in composition.” about her. She should her boldness and also helped people to see the world in an another
