Coco Bai Ms. Dettmar English III 15 October 2015 Luhramann’s Film – A Great Adaptation of The Great Gatsby Through Nick’s narration in F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby, Gatsby’s possessive personality and his blind love for Daisy eventually lead to the failure of his American dream. When casting the movie of The Great Gatsby, Baz Luhramann may have changed some of the dialogue, but he does stay unflinchingly true to the spirit of the book and its morals, which I think is vastly more important

major influence on kids. They view the person bullying them in a negative way. Because many kids today have similar styles, the kid being bullied will include everyone that dresses or acts like the bully as a likely bully. “Sticks and stones will break my bones, but words will never hurt me,” will probably never ring true again. It seems that today skin and bones heal a lot quicker than emotional wounds. Being bullied for your entire childhood, or all throughout school, will inhibit you from growing

If my life had a soundtrack, right now it would be playing banjo music. We pulled into the rocky driveway of our new house in Freeburg, Pennsylvania, and all I saw for miles was corn, cows, and woods. It was a miracle my cell phone still worked, because I felt like I’d fallen off the face of the planet. “We’re here!” Dad crowed, pivoting in his seat to give Haylie and me a maniacal grin. Which fit, considering I thought he was bonkers for making us move from NYC to the sticks. I’d think he was

phone. Apparently my best friend, Chris, was going to get us pancakes. It was also 10:30 at night. And I knew I wouldn’t be allowed to go, so I called him back. “Uh, Chris, you know I wouldn’t be allowed to go…” “You need this, let me do something nice for you! I’ll be at your house in half an hour.” He hung up, and just like that, I was going to go get pancakes. I ran upstairs and took a quick shower and put on clothes that can pass as pajamas, running shorts and a t-shirt. My dad was asleep in

My project revolves around artists, artistry, and the process of creation. Using sound and imagery, I attempt to capture the artistic process of diverse and interesting individuals; then package that into a short-form documentary that can be easily accessed and enjoyed by anyone interested. My intended target audience is the young millennial prosumer, 18-30-year-old group. The pilot is distributed and marketed through Vimeo, along with marketing through cross-promotion with Slug Christ’s online presence

from violin to trumpet. The Beatles themselves played unconventional instruments: Lennon on harpsichord, McCartney on double bass and Harrison on violin. The track was made available on Magical Mystery Tour and Yellow Submarine. Number Nine: “In My Life.” Again, Lennon credits Bob Dylan as well as journalist Kenneth Allsop for bringing him out of his shell as

W. W. Jacobs wrote the short story “The Monkey’s Paw” in 1902. A great number of adaptations of the story have since been created using different forms of media. The two which are being compared here are the play adaptation The Monkey’s Paw dramatized by Mara Rockliff and the 2011 film version The Monkey’s Paw by Ricky Lewis Jr. Both the play and film feature the White family receiving a monkey’s paw by which three wishes may be granted. The paw had a spell put on it by a holy man who wanted to

The following advertising controversially displays a symbol of dogmatism. Eerily similar to the pasta noodles package “American Beauty” one would see in their local supermarket. Dogmatism is exemplified on this movie soundtrack cover as it is exposes the observer to first a highlighted Warhol tinged title. One fact that contradicts this hidden reasoning is there is more than one America, and the Americas are indigenous to many races and cultures. An additional example

U2 - Sweetest Thing I have chosen this song for the tone it brings to this soundtrack. The beginning of The Count of Monte Cristo is vividly different from the rest, as it introduces a perfect character, who has the greatest of girls to soon marry, and has been promoted to captain of his ship. I feel that this song has the same tone to it, while hinting at a change of fortune soon in the future by repeating “I’m losing you”, which mirrors the effect that Danglars has at this point, of foreshadowing

I chose to do my Abnormal Psychology paper over The Perks of Being a Wallflower. I heard about this movie a couple of years ago and I never had time to watch it until recently. I did have a difficult time diagnosing what disorder I thought the main character had, but it turned out to actually be a learning opportunity for myself. This assignment did give me the opportunity to watch the movie differently than I have examined a movie before. What I mean is, for this assignment, I had to examine in
