Scarlett O’ Hara is a woman who does what it takes to survive no matter what the case may be. In the book Gone with the Wind, Scarlett O’ Hara plays a role of what most people might think is crazy. This upper class southern belle living in the country side of Atlanta, Georgia just before the Civil War takes place. She embarks on an adventure of turmoil, death, and deceitfulness. In this era of time during the Civil War Scarlett did not care for it, in fact she pitied the fool to do such a act as war.

The equipment was very cumbersome and color consultants were necessary to ensure accurate tones and hues as directed by Selznick. (Dunagan, 2001). Selznick was very innovative with the use of shadows and silhouettes, which he uses in several scenes of the film. Selznick’s use of silhouettes in both the opening scene and the scene prior to intermission are very dramatic as they arouse emotion on the part of the audience. However, the emotions they evoked are very different. In the opening scene, the silhouette of Scarlett and her father, Gerald the audience can feel the love that Gerald has for his daughter as he illuminates his love for the land and how she will understand as she get older. The audience can almost feel the picturesque beauty of the land before them, as the sun is setting and Scarlett and Gerald in silhouettes. The second scene where Selznick uses silhouettes is directly prior to the intermission of the film. However, the emotions here are far different. Scarlett has journeyed to Tara, from the recently Yankee occupied Atlanta, with Melanie and her newborn son and Prissy. She has encountered nothing but death and destruction on her voyage. War beaten Scarlett returns to her home Tara only to find her home, ravaged, her sisters ailing, her mother dead, her father mad and the plantation lacking food since Tara was used as Yankee

Comparing Hope Leslie or Early Times in Massachusetts and The Scarlett Letter is interesting because at first glance both novels don’t appear to have much in common aside from having a female protagonist and taking place within Puritan society of early America. (keep but not as first sentence). However, despite obvious differences between both novels such as the character presentation of the female protagonists in Hope Leslie who range from the free-spirited Hope Leslie, obedient Puritan Esther, and character of Magawisca as a noble but proud Native American contrasts with the Hester Prynne’s presentation as a shamed but deeply contemplative woman in The Scarlett Letter. The different purposes all these characters each serve in their respective stories begins to show commonality in that Hope Leslie’s Hope, Esther, and Magawisca and The Scarlett Letter’s Hester Prynne all have to overcome the adversity and social expectations with Puritan society so they can follow their hearts and do what they feel is right by relying on their wit, intelligence, and inner strength. By examining how both Hope Leslie and Hester Prynne overcome the challenges they face in their respective Puritain socities it will be easier to observe how these novels presentation of their female protagonist illustrates the gender politics of each text.

The cannonade of the century began as Aunt Pittypat abandoned Scarlett and a very pregnant Melanie to flee to Macon. As Sherman got closer, Melanie got worse, Scarlett stayed with her out of her love for Ashley. Rhett challenged her love for Ashley and eventually asked Scarlett to be his mistress which she outright refused as he was amused by her. This is the first time where Scarlett thinks about loving him and he is only affirmed in his love for her because he knew she would refuse. Weeks passed and Atlanta was deserted all but Scarlett, Melanie, and hundreds of wounded soldiers and refugees. And of course, the day that Sherman decided to press forward would be the day that Melanie went into labor. Scarlett and Prissy delivered the baby as the last of the army retreated from the city. Scarlett had Prissy get Rhett and his horse and carriage. When he did, he asked Scarlett where she wanted to go and she said Tara. Regardless of logic or fear she wanted to go home, like a child wanting their mother. Scarlett is a selfish person never lifting a finger to help anyone unless it’s in her own interests. But she loves Tara selflessly because Tara will always be home. I love and relate to this part so much, because for Southerners home is more than where you live, it is your identity. And the importance of Tara to Scarlett continues on into the book because Tara is where Scarlett’s heart

No Promises In The Wind would be a fantastic movie because of it’s breath-taking tragedy's, sweet bitter love, twists and cliff-hangers, and action packed chapters.

He is described as a “black sheep” and he is greatly looked down upon from the moment

Many novels oftentimes contain similar story elements, despite differences in plot. Whether the similarity is the goal of the protagonist, or the motive of the antagonist, a likeness can be found between novels. And even with the obvious parallels, differences occur, which allow for comparison and contrast. Thus it is with Billy Budd by Herman Melville and The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne. The two books are different concerning plot and setting, but they have similarities in the effect of the setting on the characters, the conflict between the protagonists and antagonists, and the theme of human depravity.

The final trilogy of the Star Wars saga will leave geeks of the beloved films immensely disappointed. Georg Lucas noninvolvement in the concluding chapters stings like throwing salt on an open wound, with the franchises’ rights recently obtained by Disney. With this in mind, Disney has chosen to hand the keys to the kingdom for JJ Abrams to oversee. This gives Abrams the opportunity to gamble with reviving this presumed ailing sci-fi franchise (depends on who you ask?) is truly a mistake. In reality Abrams selected by Lucas to direct the seventh film originally looked great on paper, but his record of missteps in films and television brings up the question. If we can trust that Abrams is the right person to capture the lore that many geeks around the world feels when it comes to Star Wars?

Action-packed and highly-rated, Mad Max: Fury Road is a critically-acclaimed film about a journey of survival through a post-apocalyptic wasteland. There is no doubt that post-apocalyptic films are becoming increasingly popular among audiences as seen with movies such as the Hunger Games. However, Leggatt (2012) describes another variation in the post-apocalyptic genre, one that has been dubbed post-9/11 after a string of patterns prevalent in some post-apocalyptic films. Leggatt’s definition of post-9/11 apocalyptic films are ones that have a pessimistic tone towards the future of a society. As the world evolves and progresses, many new issues overlap and outgrow previous issues that have plagued the world before - though this transgression, the film industry follows suit in order to invent stories and media that is thought-provoking and relevant to changing society. Mad Max: Fury Road (2015) is a film that encapsulates many elements of Leggatt’s post 9/11 apocalypse film genre through the apocalyptic setting, derailment of redemption, and societal obsession with apocalypse over utopia.

Most of the science fiction works contain a crucial message that the writer wishes to convey to the viewers. There are two categories of film message, one is positive and the other is negative.
