Short Story On The Giver

The second half of Full Metal Jacket follows now Sergeant (Sgt.) Joker in the heart of Vietnam sometime after he graduates from recruit training at MCRD Parris Island. Joker is a military journalist for the Stars and Stripes newspaper on a Marine Corps base that is attacked during the start of the Tet Offensive. On the day after the attack, Sgt. Joker and Private First Class (PFC.) Rafterman, a combat photographer played by Kevyn Major Howard, are sent into combat to assist the Marines of the Lusthog Squad

Another common thing that the Joker does is that he attempts to conceal the true reasons for his actions. In other words, the Joker uses defense mechanisms to distance himself from reality as a means to protect himself from the horrid things he has done (Friedman & Schustack, 2009). He demonstrates the specific defence mechanism of rationalization and he does this by trying to justify murdering Harvey Dent's, a pivotal character to the film's plot, girlfriend. He explains to Dent that her death was not his fault and he does such things (i.e., killing innocent people) to show others how pathetic they are for believing that they have control in their lives “ “ (De La Noy & Nolan,

“Freeze, Police!” Sgt. Salazar commands from behind. Startled, the robber froze. “Hands up!” Hands were up in the air with the rifle still in one hand. “Drop your weapon!” Slowly placing the rifle on the ground, the robber swiftly rotated ready to shoot, when Sgt. Salazar close behind open fired at the chest.

They saw him next to the movie theater with a lot of guns and armor. His hair was dyed red to show that he was the joker, at court He pleaded not guilty so he wasn't confessing in court. He blamed his mental illness and mental disorders.

An example of this is in the opening sequence, he torments many people, by putting grenades in their mouths to stop them from talking. He has no remorse for anything he does, to anyone. Another example, in this scene, is when he sits with the owner of the bank. After putting a grenade in his mouth also, too stop him from talking back, making him vulnerable and uncomfortable. Camera angles is one technique that helps develops this characteristic as it is a low angle tilt, to show that The Joker is superior and a dominant figure in this scene. The angle almost is intended to be a view point from the bank owner. Which makes the bank owner to feel vulnerable. In this shot, Lighting is also a very effective technique that shows his minimal. The lighting is dark, only exposing half of his face, this gives the feeling of fear and distress. Also, to add to this characteristic of minimal empathy, dialogue is another effective technique. The Joker says, “What doesn't kill you simply makes you... stranger.” Almost in confident hysterics The Joker walks off with the peg to the fake grenade in the bankers mouth. This develops his character as a criminal with minimal empathy and lack of moral, as he doesn't care about conforming to society.

Sergeant Major Valliant was happy to finally receive a tasking; he got Alpha Company, 2nd Battalion, 501st PIR to give up a platoon to escort himself and General Cook out to the transportation museum. They loaded up several of the armored Humvees that had M-249 MG mounted in their turret. The others were loaded in old M-35 2.5 tom trucks, each one of them had M-2 .50 Caliber MG mounted in their turrets.

A stolen armoured bank van drives by. In the back are 4 men. 3 are wearing muddied, black and weathered clothes. The other man, however, has slicked back hair, glasses and a white shirt tucked into jeans. He is reprimanding the other men.

Nick and Derby came back from their scout of the interstate. "There was one dead head way down the road to the east" Derby informed the criminals. "It might get here by the time we come back. Maybe I can borrow your rifle again" he added with a smile.

After Jeff carved a smile a figure wearing green with purple hair came in. It was Joker.

And with The Joker. This is why it's so difficult to pin down his motives. It's why his backstory changes on a whim. Why, to quote the DC wiki: "One day The Joker may be a harmless clown, on others he can become a crazed super-killer.

Everyone has Private Joker inside of them. He is our doubt. Our naïve braveness. Our curiosity. Our qualm as some may call it. He sees Hartman as I see my coach. He can see beyond the Marine boot camp and perhaps even Vietnam. Joker, played by Matthew Modine, is the person inside of us that is self-disciplined. The one that tells us we have to do it on our own, find our own way. He is going to learn whatever it is that the teacher is teaching but will attempt to garner his own understanding before he accepts another. While Sergeant Hartman is giving his introduction, he mumbles in his best John Wayne Voice "Is that you John Wayne. Is this me?" Extremely upset with this disruption, Sergeant Hartman accuses Cowboy, Joker's future friend who happens to be standing next to him in line. "I did sir," Joker tells his Drill Instructor. "Private Joker...I like honesty. I like you. You can come over to my house and fuck my sister." Sergeant Hartman sarcastically states seconds before punching the private in his stomach. I am sure Private Joker was not expecting the drill instructor to strike him but his courageousness showed when he admitted to his fault. I believe that despite Sergeant Hartman's sarcastic remark, he was impressed by

For instance, in one of the opening scenes of the movie, he double-crosses a group of mob bosses to escape the room the only person alive, escaping with the money as well. Moreover, he uses these tactics to decide the fate of large groups of civilians and prisoners, as he planted a bomb on both ships, and one was forced detonate a bomb on the other. Based on the Joker’s actions in the film, I do not believe I relate

One of my guys, “Joker,” was the funniest man in the outfit. His stupid wise cracks kept us all sane in a desert of madness. I wish I could remember only his wise cracks and forget all the rest of it. Believe it or not, there are some fun times in war.

He told his sidekick Herman, “We need to teach that guy a lesson. They both checked weapons make sure they were loaded and zoomed outside, got in the car and sped away destination—Murder!

At that point, according to the Joker, they drop their phony façade and behave like the chaotic, selfish animals that we all are. I submit that his motivation is to conduct social experiments to prove himself correct- that at the core people are controlled by their own selfish needs (while he is only controlled by his own delusion of pretentiousness). He has two men fight to the death with one sharp stick between them. He gives two boatloads of people the detonator to bombs on the other ship. He tells Batman that if he [Batman] wants to catch him [the Joker], that he’s going to have to break his One Rule that was brought up at the end of the first movie—to not kill.
