However, the merger between personal and public narratives may produce varying results, including personal gain at the public’s expense and vice versa. I argue that It’s My Life and Burchardt’s article “The self as capital in the narrative economy” illustrate the variability of this imperfect merger. It’s My Life details Zackie Achmat’s personal health sacrifices in his battle for the public’s benefit, whereas Burchardt’s piece shows how a narrative loses its validity to the public if the individual

Fans of the successful video game Assassin's Creed are understandably excited for the upcoming film adaptation, which will not only star critically acclaimed actor Michael Fassbender, but will also be produced by the X-Men: Apocalypse star.

Andrei Konchalovsky did a great job making the epic poem, The Odyssey, into a movie. While it was good, there were some differences. There were some things that were only in the movie while some things that were only in the book. Other than a couple things, everything was spot-on, and a great visual tale that I would recommend to a friend.

The first line of the story is, “The truth of the matter is: I have managed to make my wife very, very small.” The narrator goes on to explain it was not intentional and the miniaturization was an accident.

The story ends with the extreme measures the miniature wife has taken upon herself to torture the narrator

A) I read an article, “To Appreciate the Art of Film Editing, You Must Start With a Frame of Reference,” by Ann Homaday. She mentions editors take a shot and then using technology put scenes in, take them out, or recombine them. In editing a film it is useful to have the reactions of the test audiences. Based on their response the editor will take out dialogues, switch shots, etc. Moreover, a good film is in which the editing does not stand out. Homaday states, “Just because a film is hyper-edited

Known for its dark and controversial subject matter, Heart of Darkness remains one of the most profound novellas of the present day. Written by Joseph Conrad in 1899, the author arguably recounts an experience mirroring his own life, using Charlie Marlow as his faithful story-teller.

Although Heart of Darkness has an actual

The phrase, "There is more than meets the eye" presents an idea that heavily applies to literature. Observing or reading without purpose only provides a general understanding, but with the purpose of looking for motifs and ,more importantly, symbols a true understanding can be found. Symbols, whether they play a large or small role in a literary work, add to the understanding the reader takes from the work.

The one big question that an author always asks themself after deciding a story line, is how the plot should be arranged. Everyone has their own thoughts when it comes to this decision. An author may not necessarily pick the best method, but if they feel it is, they will work their magic to ensure the plot is powerful and enticing. In the memoir, The Color of Water: A Black Man’s Tribute to His White Mother, author James McBride uses many different structural strategies throughout his piece. He relates
