The Big Sleep Book Analysis

“The Sleep” by Caitlin Horrocks basically tell you about the people in the small town of Bounty. Protagonist Albert Rasmussen wife was killed by a drunk driver on an icy road. In this town the people looked up to Albert Rasmussen because he was smart and decided to stay in Bounty after graduation.

This literally means that they didn’t have anything much technology and before they actually decided to sleep. In this short story “The Sleep”

The Production Code attempted to censor sex and violence in film of the 1930's and 40's. Instead of impairing, it encouraged directors to use artistic ideas and integrity to surpass the viewers' expectations -- actively involving them in the film despite Hollywood's censorship. Howard Hawks is one such director who used the restrictions of the Production Code to his advantage. His screen adaptation of the Raymond Chandler novel The Big Sleep portrays the same amount of sexuality and violence apparent in the written word, using a distinctly subtle style, which develops broader themes. Comparisons with the extremely dull 70's remake by Michael Winner further suggest the superiority

In Brave New World, there is a system of control in which every aspect of society is predetermined and manipulated by the government of the World State and the Director. Sleep teaching was used in Brave New World to "condition" the newborns to use and abuse soma, and "brainwash" them to accept the values and principles of the Brave New World. Sleep teaching is a form of subliminal reinforcement in which phrases such as "a gramme is better than a damn" are played while the person is asleep. While awake, the individual will repeat these slogans automatically and behave however the controllers want them to behave. In modern media, including television, the internet, the radio, and countless other mediums, we hear, see, and read lots of information

As a college student, the information David Randall presents is very intriguing due to the fact that most of us are sleep deprived due to late night studying, among other things.

At this point the issue becomes more than a statistical

For excavated desires, so much zest. To develop a project, boost improvements, improve the progress. No, it is not about an ideal, this is past, whatever comes, does so and it is now. It is not about that; for the benefit of corporations or persons, for both, if it is possible. Only desires. It is not supposed to ring, and it rings, already. He thinks he is alone. A pleonastic loneliness such as the one of a boy. Warms up one hand inside the underpants, hushes the mouth by clinging it to the warmness of the pillow. With some sadness, the dream. Objective, such as the prisons, the mysteries that suffocate. Infinite, the nightmares release, wakes one up. Over the seconds, it rings, rings, still preventing, this, the sleep. Buried, unburying oneself.

No other film was as controlled in its production as The Big Sleep. Every aspect of the film is so precise, that the filmmakers left nothing to chance. Every set was built inside, with the exception of a few exterior shots. The Big Sleep is a very visually interesting film that uses quick and precise cutting, harsh lighting, and wonderfully framed shots.

For my independent reading assignment, this quarter I read The Big Sleep by famous crime novelist, Raymond Chandler. The book took place in America in the early 1930s where private detective Phillip Marlowe is hired by General Sternwood because of the recent blackmailing of his teenage daughter. Sternwood played a role in the American oil industry which he profited a large amount of money from the business. Arthur Geiger is responsible for the blackmailing of Sternwood’s daughter.

Dreams have a lengthy record of being a subject for debate and a source of motivation. In ancient Egypt, pharaohs had several interpreters to decipher their dreams as they believed they were messages from the gods (Lincoln, 1935, p.68). The ancient Hebrews believed that their dreams were tied to divine revelations as well. Native American tribes believed that dreams were a connection to their ancestors and used obtaining a vision from a dream as a rite of passage (Tedlock, 1981, p.324). In the present day, every night all across the world, people still experience sequences of imagery encompassed by sensations and emotions while asleep. The average person tends to dream up to seven times a night

Eric Whitacre, a brilliant composer of choral music, wrote the selection or song I chose titled Sleep. The title basically is announcing that the piece will be about the act or portrayal of sleep told by the narrator which is Eric Whitacre. I believe he wrote this to mimic how one would fall asleep, or the process of sleepiness. The way Whitacre defines things as you go to sleep, makes him seem that he has a personal influence on it. The tone of this work is innocent yet dark, an example is the word choice he used such as "dreams yet can become both dark and deep." Yet the steam that re-occurs through the whole piece is patience and serenity showed by the calming words and repetitive of the word "sleep."

At a glance, The Pillow Book by Sei Shōnagon hardly appears to offer more than a personal collection of observations. Having no clear intention of releasing her work to the public, the author instead deals with matters of her daily life without any pretense to historical accuracy. In doing so, however, she provides a firsthand account of court society during the Heian period, allowing for valuable insights into the culture that undoubtedly surrounded her. As a lady-in-waiting herself, Sei Shōnagon wrote The Pillow Book from the perspective of an aristocrat. Therefore, her biases as an individual ultimately represent the customs and traditions that were already normalized in her time. Though the scope of her world is limited to high society,
