    are we chosen?’ but also his obsession with human and ‘being’. Stressing Jean-Paul Sartre’s often-repeated dictum, ‘‘Existence precedes essence’’ (qtd. in Walkey 2009:105) within his works, Beckett predominantly focuses on the latter: essence. In Endgame, Nagg and Nell are staged as moribund characters stuffed into dustbins and unconscious of time phenomenon. They are characterized as the samples of ‘existence’; two

    The Unjustified War on Iraq The Bush Administration was impatiently unjustified in the attack on Iraq. The justification the Republican council offered was no more that an attempt to eradicate the blame infused by poorly made, hasty decisions and forceful actions. Liberal magazine, The Nation, publishes many liberal perspectives on the actions that have been taken in prevention of major military action. Although action was necessary, the use of military force by the United States was excessive

    have provided some really tense moments but sadly the film has a disappointing endgame and misses out on a magical moment. Any ardent chess fan watching this movie would be disappointed in the portrayal of Fischer as the movie focus more on his paranoia and anti-semitic views (Fischer himself is a jew). Viewers' will be frustrated by the movie as Zwick sets up the movie beautifully but fails to deliver on the endgame and does not go for the kill. The movie is partly about Fischer and fails to identify

    to try to subdue the districts and Katniss, to no avail. What happens next is predictable. An insurrection that brings down the Capitol’s 75 year reign down. In Catching Fire, Suzanne Collins shows that ruling in fear will eventually result in an endgame of revolution because her usage of dialogue and dramatic irony at the right time and place conveys the theme. In the second book of the Hunger Games trilogy, it depicts with the usage of dialogue that ruling in fear leads to defection of the populus

    Both films deal with the embedded notion of falseness and illusion in cinema, with Singin’ in the Rain working to further expose that falseness, and It Happened One Night choosing to lean into it. The climax of Singin’ in the Rain with the curtain being pulled back is not the only instance of exposing falseness, as that is a common thread throughout, thereby establishing the paradox of a movie exposing the fantasy of movies. The scene where Don confesses his feelings to Kathy in the unoccupied Hollywood

J.L Styan writes about Pinter. "His audience is made to feel, through an exquisite friction of nightmare and normality, the earthly need for security" (The Dark Comedy)

    Your close reading of Life of Pi was well done. I agree with the major theme of Life of Pi being the will to survive. This passage also stood out to me as a reader, the comparison of life being an endgame of chess. I think that this is a good comparison to what Pi experience on the life boat. The contradiction of the first sentence forces the reader to think deep about what Pi is going through. I personally could not imagine being on a life boat for 227 days and adapting as well as Pi did. Like I
