all about overcoming your fears. That means maybe doing things that have never been thought of before. I have read four fantasy books. The Hobbit, A Wrinkle In Time, City of Bones, and Shiver. The two movies I watched were The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button, and The Last Dragon/ A Fantasy Made Real. Fear is a common connection within all of the books. Fear though is nothing more than an obstacle, that stands in the way of the progress. In overcoming our fears we can move forward: This
While I was listening to Neil’s talk it was inevitable for me to think of the realization of a movie like the one based on the curious case of Benjamin Button; it would be interesting and extremely valuable to watch a movie based on Nail’s story; to show to the rest of the people how minute everyday things like the ones described by him can be perceived in an extremely different way depending
wrote for the passing of his father. This poem isn’t a story, it does not have settings, plot, and themes. The poem discussed four kinds of people: Wise men, good men, wild men, and grave men. Not like the story we read last year, “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button”. This poem, “Do Not Go Gentle into That Good Night”, it doesn’t have a main event. This poem is just a description and thoughts from the poet of people with a main moral – to fight from

Gerscophobia is the abnormal or persistent fear of aging. Society does not directly have this clinical phobia, but it is a matter that is frowned upon by many. People see aging as a bad thing and try to prolong it as much as possible. The evidence of aging is now edited with new science and technology to alter appearances. Societal changes are undergoing where it is more common to have botox or plastic surgery to “correct” and “fix” the body’s natural aging process. There are less severe ways to
This essay will explore F. Scott Fitzgerald’s use of symbolism in The Great Gatsby (TGG) and his short stories The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (TCCOBB) and the Lees of Happiness (TLOH). It is possible that his use of symbolism addresses important social issues which are a continual theme throughout his work, for example, the economical polarisation between the upper and lower class, and is arguably his most prominent literary technique. F. Scott Fitzgerald uses colour to symbolise a variety
Sanjana: Hello everyone! This is the Early Morning Show, and I’m your host Kara. Today we’re paying tribute to Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald and will remember him and his work by watching an interview from 78 years ago, that to place in this very building. Before we start I’d like to say that Francis was a creative man, and died of a heart attack while writing what would soon be his last piece of work, The Last Tycoon. Sanjana: Hello.

made both writers and people question what was right from wrong. In both The Great Gatsby and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, readers can conclude that the writing is based on the moral issue at the time, whether wealth and personal or physical pleasures surpassed decency. In Fitzgerald’s short story, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button readers can conclude that when he wrote “ The Roger Buttons held an enviable position, both social and financial.” and “My heavens!” he murmured, in an ecstasy
“The wise writer writes for the youth of his own generation, the critics of the next, and the schoolmasters of ever afterward,” (Fitzgerald qtd. In “BrainyQuote”). This quote shows why Fitzgerald’s writings have continued to be present in modern generations. With multiple films out in recent years many of his writings have become household names. F. Scott Fitzgerald’s national fame is a result of his early life, writing career, and his eventual downfall. According to Biography editors, Francis Scott
When asked to write about my favorite actor or actress, there are many people I could have chosen but I choose Taraji P Henson because she is the most real to me. I can't help but smile when I think of Taraji P Henson a beautiful, diverse actress who is humble and sincere in her craft. When I was nine years old, I first saw Taraji in her second film debut, “Hustle & Flow” in which she portrayed a character named Shug. Shug was a pregnant prostitute who became the love interest of the male lead
