Lola And Manni: The Sequence Of Three Scenarios

The American dream is an example of a national spirit that represents different ideologies. The set of ideas may be of democracy, equality matters, liberty, rights, and opportunities. The American dream believes in freedom for prosperity and success for its citizens. The idea suggests that upward social mobility for individuals can be achieved only through hard work. In a story done by George Saunders, the American dream is exemplified in several instances. The author, George, tells the story of contemporary America through a diary. The main character in the story is a father to three daughters. The family’s struggles are examples of how individuals will go extra miles just to provide for their families and also

Imagery and personification are some of the most powerful literary devices because they can bring the story to life and capture the reader's attention with just a few words. “The Most Dangerous Game” has both of these devices used effectively, and it makes the story better than most of its type. The author, Richard Connell, used imagery and personification in a way that connects with the reader very well, and makes the story a more enjoyable read, because it paints a clear picture of what is happening in the story.

In every story, there are many things to analyze. In “Game” by Donald Barthelme, he shows us the way our minds start to work in stressful situations like how the narrator and Shotwell started to respond while controlling the console for the war. In “Game” the narrator’s name is never told, Shotwell and the narrator do not trust each other, but are left alone together and trusted to kill the other if they start to “behave strangely,” although it is never clarified what counts as strange and what counts as normal. Various literary devices are used throughout the story to show us Barthelme’s intended theme, some used are: repetition, symbolism, irony, and figurative language.

The 1998 German film Run Lola Run interestingly told three separate narratives of the same story and characters. Each of the narratives began the same way, however each one saw a slight temporal or behavioral difference in the lives of Lola and Manni, which caused drastically different outcomes for each of the separate realities. The film followed Lola and Manni’s journey to acquire one-hundred thousand dollars to make up for Manni’s loss of the money to his drug dealer. The same story was told three separate times, and each story illustrated slight changes in the characters’ timelines that drastically shifted the outcome of their situations. Through the use of editing, the film was able to jump through time and space and clearly portray the transition from one run to the next. The film also had a fast rhythm that captured the frantic nature and peril of Lola and Manni’s situation, with innovative editing techniques such as showing the two shots of Manni and Lola side by side. Altogether, the transitions were effective in telling the story with a unique, and clear sequencing pattern that made sense and contributed to the thrilling atmosphere of the film.

In “The Most Dangerous Game,” Richard Connell correlates three common literary devices especially well: setting, suspense, and plot. Connell makes use of an appropriate setting, the literary element of suspense, and an interesting plot in order to strengthen the story’s recurring theme of reason versus instinct within humans, and to blur that line between reason and instinct.

In “The Most Dangerous Game”, author Richard Connell uses a variety of literary device to depict the theme. He uses the main character, Rainsford, to be the character which unfolds the theme as he goes through the experience of being treated like a wild animal and becoming the prey of another human for sport. Connell uses three literary devices frequently including foreshadowing, irony and symbolism in order to support the main theme, put yourself in the shoes of the animals you hunt.

And I will be comparing the movie to the story and the story to the movie.

In the stories, “The Most Dangerous Game”, “Liberty”, and “Harrison Bergeron” all compare among their similarities. Each story uses the setting and their conflicts to show the theme and the characteristics of each character. In these stories, they all have different conflicts and settings, but they use the conflicts and settings to relate to each other in their characters and the themes.

These themes that are portrayed, include materialism, the corruption of dreams and idealism, which all come under the larger theme of searching for human fulfilment.

The time after the fifteen hundreds marked a time of great change in Asian countries. Places like China saw a new dynasty take control of the country. And almost every Asian civilization from India to Indonesia came in contact with people from western nations which changed the way people did business and the way Asians viewed the world. Japan, however, seemed to keep separate from the rest of Asia in the way that they were hesitant to deal with westerners. Despite their separateness, this period in time still brought an immense amount of change to Japan and its culture. The autobiography titled Musui's Story shows what life was like during Japan's time of change. When taking Musui's Story in context, one can see not

2) What are some of the themes that are central to the film? How have they been communicated?

Mila did very well using her spoon to eat the fruit for breakfast. When it comes to eating with a spoon she slowly picks it up with her right hand, but sometimes waist it. After eating breakfast, Mila washed her hands and played with the toy baby’s. As I watched her I noticed that she sings and rocks the baby to sleep. She shows a lot of love to the toy baby by hugging it, squeezing and feeding it. When Mila wants something she gets my attention by smiling and pointing her finger. Today I had a ball in the dramatic play area rolling it back and forth to Pierson and Annabel. While playing Mila and Maddie joined in by sitting beside on another. We each rolled it back and forth to one another. As we played, Ms. Myrna changed everyone’s diaper

In this movie I detected two running themes. The first was the progression of a new era in a young boy’s life; he started school. The young boy, Mancho, was nervous and afraid on his first day of school. In fact, he ended wetting himself when called to the front of the class by the teacher. This scene and the way his mother acted when dropping him off, making sure to talk to the teacher about his difficulty breathing, made it clear that it wasn’t just the start of a new year but the first time he was able to go to
