In his essay “On the Duty of Civil Disobedience”, Thoreau expresses his discontent for the lack American people’s lack of action against the nation’s injustice after his imprisonment for refusing to pay a poll tax.

In the fourth paragraph, he explains his reasoning “Must the citizen

Gibson’s distinct word choice not only encapsulates the audience, but also forces the novel to be read from a certain perspective. For example, Gibson describes the atmosphere of Ninsei, by saying “By day, the bars down Ninsei were shuttered and featureless, the neon dead, the holograms inert, waiting, under the poisoned silver sky” (Gibson 7). Gibson could simply have stated that the street was dark, and the sky was cloudy. However, he makes the conscious effort of wording the sentence with metaphors

The movie Braveheart, directed by Mel Gibson, tells the tale of William Wallace, a Scottish warrior who leads the war against King Edward “Longshanks”, the relentless English ruler who hopes to seize the throne of Scotland for himself. When Wallace was a boy, his family and many other countrymen sacrificed their lives in the fight to liberate Scotland. When Wallace’s wife is brutally murdered by English soldiers, he comes out of hiding and begins his plot to take back Scotland with his countrymen

drastic actions, even go into war. One piece that exemplifies this is Patrick Henry’s “Speech to the Virginia Council,” in which, Patrick Henry claims that people should fight for their liberty.

Over the course of the past fifty years there have been many cinematic productions of Shakespeare’s Hamlet, some of which remain true to the text while others take greater liberties from the original format. Director Kenneth Branagh’s 1996 production of Hamlet was true to Shakespeare’s work in that the films dialogue was delivered word or word as it is presented in the text. In contrast, Franco Zeffirelli conducted his 1990 production of Hamlet in a much more liberal direction in which lines, scenes

Masterpieces in art was traditionally known as a work done with extraordinary skill; especially a supreme intellectual or artistic achievement. The works of Giotto in the Arena chapel are classified as masterpieces because, these pieces signal the time of Giotto establishing his own style that would then spread throughout Italy. Many of his contemporaries recognized his talent, “Renaissance artists and writers insisted that Giotto was their true artistic ancestor. At few other moments in the history

The movie "Hacksaw Ridge" is a true story of Desmond Doss (Andrew Garfield) who saved 75 men without firing or carrying a gun, during the bloodiest battle of World War II. The movie faces with the problem that is new to the world. Desmond Doss refuses to carry or use a firearm or weapons of any kind because he is a Seventh-day Adventist. Doss intends to serve as a medic, because of his beliefs as a conscientious objector. Sergeant Howell and Captain Gloverd see him as a potential threat to morale

perceptions of national liberation struggles globally; in a way that would call attention to those who are, in a sense, the underclass in those struggles” (Jhally 1997). In her assertion, hooks made reference to 1995 movie Braveheart. The movie stars Mel Gibson, 60, as William Wallace; a 13th-century Scottish hero that courageously rescues his people from the strong grip of the English monarchy. The movie serves as the perfect paradigm to the swaying effects of representation as it was able to draw sympathy

Many directors choose to make many different decisions when producing their version of Hamlet. Every actor portrays the character Hamlet in several ways making each version almost a new story. Mel Gibson's 1990 version and the 2009 David Tennant films are very different in style, scene omissions and several other aspects. Mel Gibson’s film omits several scenes that were strange to omit. One example is the opening scene in the play when the ghost is first introduced to the play. This seemed very
