Wearing a mask can be interpreted as a material act or metaphorical gesture, but while both are meant to lie about one’s identity, one demands creativity. In the short story “Lather and Nothing Else,” by Hernando Tellez, this idea is mainly shown through the character disclosures of Captain Torres. While from the outside one may appear calm and collected, inner upheaval is a consequence for those who have created a complicated “mask” for themselves. Judging an individual based what they are labelled

After four weeks of dominance, The Force was officially been subdued and dethroned – by the new comedy-sequel, Ride Along 2. With a significant debut of $34 million, the comedy duo of Kevin Hart & Ice Cube strikes again – just as they did with their predecessor nearly two years ago to the day. Unfortunately, not everything about Ride Along 2’s victory is good news – as the new film failed to surpass the opening establish by 2014’s Ride Along ($41.5 million). Of course poor reviews didn’t help

Have you ever thought about what kind of movies you have watched and why you have watched them? Ever since I was a child, I always liked watching movies that had unique and interesting characteristics in it. My parents told me that when I was a child I never wanted to watch movies that were long and had boring plot. They tell me that I was very fussy on what movies I wanted to watch, and that I always watched movies that encouraged or taught kids something good about behaviour or environment.. Since

It was a fine, summer, Saturday when everything changed for a young teenager named Miller Frederick. School had already started for Miller and he was at a new school. That summer, his family had moved from Pensacola, Florida to Dewitt, Michigan so Miller didn’t have many friends. He lived in a very rural area so he didn’t have many neighbors he could hang out with. Miller had just gotten back from his first day at his new school and he became friends with another new kid from Germany. His name was

Francis Scott Fitzgerald and Edith Wharton authored novels that take place in America around the beginning of the nineteenth century. In both This Side of Paradise and The House of Mirth, the authors paint the protagonists as imprisoned. This is a criticism of the society that they live in and is represented in the authors’ use of imagery, characterization, and the motif of social standing. Wharton uses a great deal of imagery to reflect Lily Bart as imprisoned, while Fitzgerald uses less imagery

tragic but tell readers the fate of the characters. Realist novels have plausible events, with cause and effect in their stories — what the characters desire and the consequences they receive because of that.
