Regarding the TV Bible and the pitch. Unfortunately, the Bible also feels too vague and general, versus clear and specific. First, the logline provided isn’t what is presented in the pilot. The logline conveys that Tom’s research is turned into a weapon. In the pilot, this is never delivered. Clarify what this “weapon” is. Even in the TV Bible it’s not well defined. Overall, the Bible feels wordy and repetitive. Granted TV Bibles can vary from length and context, but being clear as to the premise of the series and the format is pivotal. First, the pitch does clearly clarify that Tom wakes up after being dead, realizes that the accident never happened, but it could. It’s a good hook. However, this isn’t conveyed in the pilot. The pitch also nicely clarifies that Tom has discovered how to rewrite one’s …show more content…
Make sure to concisely explain it. Consider tightening some of the dryer information on page 54 regarding all the statistics. Clarify how a man-made virus is able to control behavior; a lot of the presentation sounds too vague or general versus specific. Saying things like “balances the real with the really amazing,” sounds too obscure. One doesn’t know what this means. There are some elements taken directly from the TV Bible of the series LOST, such as saying things like “our first season will be like any other show: finding what works, what doesn’t …” and references to a blue print etc. There’s nothing wrong with this, but remember JJ Abrams can get away with being more personal. Consider being more confident about the series. Sell the show. Also, don’t try to be too cute, “And we know you’re thinking, what’s up with the White Room?” Again, produced writers or producers can get away with this. It’s an artistic choice. Clarify what’s unique about this series. Clarify why the concept will make for a long-term series. Clarify the target
Tom begins to think about the afterlife and how his deeds here may prevent him from obtaining it in Heaven.
Tom was angry that night. He was angry at his brother for making everything ten times worse than it should be. Angry because he was so drunk. Angry that he couldn’t do the right thing. Tom wanted Daniel dead; he wanted him to pay for all the shit he had caused. He didn’t care if anything bad happened to him; he just needed to pay the price
As the novel progresses, Tom transforms from this selfish nature to become a caring person. Several examples of this transformation are seen throughout various chapters. When the Joads are traveling west to California with the Wilson’s, Tom offers to help them when their car breaks down. “Tom said nervously, ‘Look Al. I done my time, an’ now it’s done… Let’s jus’ try an’ get a con-rod an’ the hell with the res’ of it.’” Tom is showing a little more care for other people’s problems, however, he still has a selfish side because he still does not regret killing a man. He knew he had to pay for it by going to prison, but he still believes he did nothing wrong by taking a man’s life. By offering to help out with the Wilson’s’ car, he is on his way to becoming a less selfish person. As the book draws to a close, Tom stumbles upon Jim Casy again, who is murdered in front of his own eyes. As a result, he is thrown into a silent rage and kills another man which causes him to hide in the forest. He realizes that he is a danger to his family, so he sacrifices his safety in order for his family to be safe. ‘“Ya can’t do that, Ma. I tell you I’m jus’ a danger to ya,”’ (391). There is a clear transition from Tom acting selfish at the beginning of the book to him acting completely selfless at the end. This selflessness also contributed to him being a figure committed to bettering the
I= I can infer that when Tom returns home he will go through many obstacles such as being evicted from his family's farm. I also think that he won't find his family there because they might already be evicted. His family is like the turtle that was intentionally ran over by the trucker.
3. Time and sequence-Why do you think the author provides such a detailed, step-by-step description of the paper’s movement?
Even though Tom is now aware of his origin it does not ultimately change all of his behavior and attitude or as it is described in the book “In several ways his opinions were totally changed,…, but the main structure of his character was not changed and could not be changed”. This condition only lasted for a certain period of time until he “dropped gradually back into his old frivolous and easy-going ways…” p.57 A similar thing happens to Chambers by the end of the story after Tom has gotten convicted to murder and Pudd’nhead Wilson has found out about the real identities of Tom and Chambers. Being a free man, the original Tom does not know how to deal with this situation because “his manners were the manners of a slave”. He did not learn how to write or to read, nor did he spend much time somewhere else but in the kitchen.
Tom was not responsible in the beginning of the book and he know it. He made others do his work like how he made another kid wash the fence as he crunched on a apple. By the end of the book tom was doing things on his own. Tom went out of his way to find a way out of the cave and save Becky.
There are 40 different authors who wrote the bible from all walks of life: shepherds, farmers, tent-makers, physicians, fishermen, priests, philosophers and kings. Many ask what the
Tom is definitely maturing throughout the chapters, slowly but steadily. Tom senses the seriousness of Aunt Polly’s grief when she takes him aside after breakfast on the morning after Dr. Robinson’s murder. When he realizes that Aunt Polly is extremely disappointed in him, Tom feels that her disappointment in him “[is] worse than a thousand whippings, and “[his] heart [is] sorer… than his body” (105). The evidence of hurting others depresses Tom for the first time, revealing that he has grown up a little. In addition, as he falls asleep on their first night in Jackson’s Island, Tom realizes that taking food from home is “plain, simple stealing” not just “ ‘hooking’ ”, and prays out of fear(131). This is the first time in the novel that Tom
The bible can be very hard to understand if it is not read in the correct manner. Each book in the bible contains their own style of writing. Before you read a book in the bible you should recognize the genre that is used. The reason why it is important to have a clear understanding of the genre is because it helps one understand the possible outcome of the story. For example one knows that a romantic genre story will end with a blossoming relationship. Genre classification helps stories make sense.
I am certain Tom meant well in his essay, but, frankly, his conclusions just fall flat, when analyzed with serious contemplation. He starts off his essay with the most
There is so much history when it comes to the making of the bible. Have you ever thought about how much work, time, and effort went into making the bible? There was so much work, time, and lives that were at stake in the history for all versions of the bible. Of course the history for the English standard version intrigued me the most.
One of my favorite television shows that I have watched since I was in middle school is supernatural. Now on its 11 seasons since its debut 2005 it has continue to show how biblical tradition and the bible is understood/interpreted by America. The show follows the work of late 20 years old brother Sam and Dean Winchester who go from place to place hunting down supernatural evils. From the beginning, it has used an impressive array of biblical references, names, and symbols usually in ways that are connected to Judeo-Christian understanding of the stories. Although many of the stories are interpretative and imaginative is does connect to the bible and biblical tradition. Throughout the season, Supernatural has used the bible both as a prop
Tom knows how to face the danger ahead of him and not be afraid. There are many examples in the novel where Tom is able to face danger with a brave face and not escape his problems. One piece of evidence for this is that He asked Becky to bow out her candle and used his candle to conserve the wick. Another piece of evidence is that they also avoided starvation b sharing a bit of cake. These actions were all Tom’s idea. In the novel it says,
You also can’t just open the Bible and expect to know the “Lore” inside and out. The Bible is a book with many a secret hidden away under words. It may appear cryptic, but it’s so that it can relate to so many people over so many ages. If it were just based on this one specific interpretation, then it wouldn’t be as relatable and holy as it is now.
