On the story, she commented, “Explaining just what I had hoped the story to say is very difficult. I supposed that by setting a particular brutal ancient rite in the present and in my village the story’s readers with a dramatization of the pointless violence and general inhumanity in their own lives.”

Throughout the first 15 Chapters we are provided with information, as narrated by Offred, with glimpses of her past life and her journey to the life she is now facing. These glimpses are not logical in their sequencing or chronological in the narration, therefore creating a feeling of disorientation among readers, a feeling matching that experienced by those living in this society. This also provokes many questions in the reader’s mind along with creating tension and expectation as to the nature of the procreation which we have come to

This project will be focus primarily on the movie The Magnificent Seven. It is a compelling and heart felt western movie that focus on a group of bound hunters that care more about their jobs more than the money. Some of the characters in the movie went through internal conflicts that led them to change throughout the movie. In Magnificent Seven we can see many examples of binary opposition and how it positions the characters throughout the plot of the movie. The villain, Bogue, wants to seize control of the town of Rose Creek to dig for gold in the mines. Emma Cullen and some of the townsfolks turn to bound hunters to protect them from the tyranny of Bogue and his gang. The movie director of Magnificent Seven uses political agenda in the

The Defiant Ones (1958) directed by Stanley Kramer showed the racial relations going on in the United States of America. The film features two men, one black and one white becoming friends, which was almost unheard of at the time. Although when this film came out segregation was illegal it still was not fully accepted as being the new norm. This film starts to try to shape America into accepting all races and stopping segregation, but also tries to mirror society when a third party is brought in and tries to come between the two men and their friendship. Kramer uses The Defiant Ones as a way to mirror the public of the times opinion and shape there new opinion of the changing world.

In his book, More Than a Movie: Ethics in Entertainment, F. Miguel Valenti examines nine “hot buttons” of violence – “creative elements that filmmakers use to manipulate viewers’ reactions to onscreen violence.” (99) These elements, posited by researchers conducting The National Television Violence Study (Valenti, 99) are “choice of perpetrator, choice of victim, presence of consequences, rewards and punishments, the reason for the violence, weapons, realism, use of humor, and prolonged exposure” (Valenti, 100) .

The film Osama directed by Siddiq Barmak is a very beautiful and poignant film, but very heartbreaking and emotional. Before watching the movie, I knew very little about the Taliban’s and the film director, this film push me to research the Taliban and Siddiq Barmak. I want to know why and how this film came to be. The film gave me a meticulous insight into the lives of girls and women in Afghanistan; living under the ruling of the Taliban. I was unaware of the extent of gender discrimination occurring in Afghanistan during this time. The Taliban’s were the main force of power for many years, destroying and installing fear and pain to many.

In 1942, three brothers by the name of Bielski displayed their benevolence and sense of unity by establishing a resistance unit to rescue and protect Jews during World War II. Tuvia, Asael, and Zus Bielski were undoubtedly motivated to rescue other jews like themselves, after the massacre of Jews on December 8, 1941 and escaping to a Belarussian forest. The partisan offered to protect and shelter any Jew in need of help and were even further motivated to go and rescue Jews that were trapped in the ghettos. While most camps made to protect Jews would not accept those who were physically unable to assist in the rebellion, the Bielski brothers showed their generosity by accepting anyone who came to them. By doing this they built a community of

All of the narrator's questions invite the reader to place ;himself in the position of the people of Omelas. Do you need this to make you happy? Then you may have it.

In Omelas, the people have no guilt so they are able to sacrifice the child for their happiness with no remorse because they are happy.

In life there are no ordinary moments and everything happens for a reason. The movies “Click” and “The Peaceful Warrior” portray these messages. Both of these movies show how every moment in life is important. Living in the moment and knowing that all things happen for a reason can improve one’s life and let them enjoy every second of it. “The Peaceful Warrior” shows viewers that they should focus more on the present and not as much on the future. The movie shows this by giving the main character a mentor that helps him realize that every moment is important, even through the hardships he has to face. In the other movie “Click” Adam Sandler, the main character, tries to skip through the irritating or uneventful moments in life. The

The drawing of narrative inferences by the reader is very important to interpret the work well. However, the author, while writing a story, can treat some incidents in detail and barely mention or even omit others. He may distort these incidents, may not observe chronological sequence, he can use messengers or flashbacks, and so on and so forth.
