Analytical Thesis: Get Out is a psychological thriller that analyzes the racial issues in modern America through the use of visual rhetoric: such as film noir, symbolism and metaphors.

The film “Juvies” really made me think about how the criminal justice system treats young children. Before watching the film, I was under the impression that children were treated fairly and with care when they commit a crime. After all, they are just kids. However, to my surprise, this was not the case. Many children have been cheated by the law because they are put through the adult system and are not given a fair trial. Meanwhile, these children are expected to make the rational decisions that an adult would make. There is biological evidence that kids do not have the ability to control impulsive behavior because their brains are underdeveloped. Thus, I believe this system is extremely unfair because children are not protected in adult prisons, which makes it very difficult for them to succeed once they are released back into the free world.

Throughout the film Do the Right Thing, we continuously observe racial conflict that builds up to such an extreme point that it leads to a fight for power. This movie portrays the struggles and realities of a neighborhood with white and black African American people. This can be seen in many instances for example when Buggin ' Out, Radio Raheem, and Smiley march into Sal 's and demand that Sal change the Wall of Fame. Another vital instance shows the height of power struggle. It is when the huge fight starts in the street and results in Raheem being killed by a white police officer.

In the play “Wit”, written by Margaret Edson, the author includes many characters in her work that have their own distinct characteristics that make them unique and valuable to the play. Vivian Bearing, the main character in the play, has been diagnosed with stage four ovarian cancer. Due to her diagnosis, she becomes part of a clinical trial for a new drug regimen to fight ovarian cancer. The doctors working with Vivian are very insensitive and lack compassion while interacting with her. One character in the play who displayed a great amount of compassion for Vivian was her primary nurse, Susie Monahan. Susie was the only staff member in the hospital who reached out to Vivian, was kind to her, and cared for wellbeing. She did whatever she could to make Vivian’s stay at the hospital as comfortable as possible. Vivian at first was taken by surprise and rejected

In the movie, See What I’m Saying, there are three Deaf men and one Hard of Hearing women. Their names are: Robert DeMayo, TL Forsberg. Bob Hiltermann and C.J Jones. Through out the movie, each person shows us a glimpse of their lives and what they have to deal with on a daily basis. See What I’m Saying shines a light on the oppressive behaviors within the performing arts industry and within mainstream media, and how these four individuals must navigate through their lives as performing artist.

I will be focusing on how Vivian’s perspective on her own life changes after her diagnosis. The reason for her change in perspective throughout her treatment is due to a medical and psychological term called demoralization. I will be using the scholarly article “Demoralization in Medical Practice”, by Juliet C. Jacobsen, M.D., Guy Maytal, M.D., and Theodore A. Stern, M.D. to connect how demoralization is affecting Vivian’s new lifestyle as a terminally ill cancer patient. The cause of Vivian’s self-transformation of life is due to

Based on Margaret Edson play, the 2001 film “Wit” is regarding an english professor Dr. Vivian Bearing who is specialized in the study of John Donne’s Holy Sonnets. Dr. Bearing is diagnosed with stage four metastatic ovarian cancer and agrees to undergo an antagonistic experimental treatment. In the processes of her treatment she quotes a famous line from the Holy Sonnet by John Donne “…and death shall be no more, death thou shalt die!”(Wit, 2001). Dr. Bearing’s anguish in not only her bodily pain but the treatment has a great strain on her mental health. In the course of her treatment, Dr. Bearing monitors her experience at the hospital and point out that she simply became a test subject for research and not a patient. The film deals with

Wit follows Dr. Vivian Bearing’s journey through chemotherapy for treatment of stage four metastatic ovarian cancer. Dr. Bearing is a demanding professor of seventeenth century literature who is very knowledgeable, especially of John Donne who explores mortality in depth. The movie starts with her diagnosis of advanced metastatic ovarian cancer. She is rushed through the facts of an experimental chemotherapy drug.

Apocalypse now illuminates the horror, and the atrocities of what war can cause. It showed how one can go in a normal citizen and return unable to make contact with the world without feeling out of place. As the characters move forward into metaphorical fog and darkness,the film introduces the idea that war reels in a darkness hidden within. In the first scene Willard is introduced as an already broken man, he’s back from his first tour and already feels compelled to start his second. Questions about his sanity begin to rise, how far has he been pushed off edge? Shattered mirror, and divorce papers by his side only maximizes the realization of how distant he is from his old self. This illustrates how war is capable to change an individuals

After watching the play “The Wit,” I was filled with mixed emotions. When I first encountered wit, as a freshman, I didn't realize how poorly the doctors were treating Vivian Bearing; I just thought they were just doing they're job. Not having the same mindset as I did back when I was a freshman, I could now see the numerous amounts of professional mistakes made by staff who came across Doctor Bearing while she was at the hospital. Its truly unfortunate when the people who must take care of you when you're at your weakest don't even see you as a person. When one of the doctors called Vivian “research,” it caught me by surprise and made me so angry because she wasn't a lab rat, she was a person who was suffering greatly. In addition to that

This movie is interesting consisting of drama and suspense, four teens: Q (Omar Epps), Bishop (Tupac Shakur), Raheem (Khalil Kain) and Steel (Jermaine 'Huggy' Hopkins) go around their city pursuing power and respect, or in their case “juice”. Also friendship, loyalty, and greed plays a big role in this movie. When the members make a plan a robbery on their local corner store, things take a turn for the worse. Bishop unexpectedly shoots the clerk leaving him dead. He soon lets power and respect to become his main aspect and this overcomes the loyalty between him and the rest of the crew.

Part 1 - In American author's 2009 book, The Help, the primary thesis is the relationship between Black maids and white households in Jackson, Mississippi during the early 1960s. The story is really told from three perspectives, Aibileen and Minny are Black women, both maids, and Skeeter is the nickname of Eugenia Phelan, daughter of a prominent White family. Skeeter has just finished school and hopes to become a writer. In general, the relationship between the Black maids and the White employers is six sided: On one side we have the White employers who have three views: 1) Their personal and private beliefs that can range from extreme scorn and bias to kindness regarding race; 2) Their public persona that must have the "proper" attitude about Blacks and "the help," and 3) Their employer attitude, which is condescending and parental. The Black view also has three segments: 1) Their personal and private beliefs that usually range from understanding not all Whites are the same and an extreme love and empathy for the White children for whom they care; 2) The public persona that is deferential, polite, and stoic to their White bosses; and 3) Their attitude and view among the Black community, which usually separates the "poor and ignorant but rich" White souls from the Black view of family and common sense. All in all, the relationship is contentious, phony, and based on economic advantage.
