The film’s director, Sofia Coppola, has revealed that she stylized the historical figures in such a way as to make them seem more humanised, and allow viewers to connect with the events, as well as admitting that she did not wish for the film to

Chinese culture has remained a true marvel, and often, a mystery, to the outside world since the beginning of its earliest dynasties. Its value of isolating itself from the rest of the world has defined and concentrated its unique culture, which now shines starkly against the background of the rest of the modern world. In some cases, Chinese society holds tightly onto aspects of its culture even when the rest of the world appears to be “moving on.” This mindset is demonstrated within the ancient

states, “…that the best way to protect their children is by preparing them for the future, letting them see what they're capable of, and arming them with skills, work habits and inner confidence that no one can ever take away” Amy Chua is a typical tiger mother, as how media and society call her. Even though the society does not agree with her parenting style, she absolutely knows about what does parent should know and what does a mother must do.

Which Comes First: The Art or the Artist? A Historical Perspective The approach of the year 2000 seems a good time to think about the way the role of art and the artist has changed through history, and how modern art is interpreted by a modern audience. Writing about modern art gives me the creeps. In other types of art, clear facts can be asserted with security, public reactions are clearly documented, skills can be appreciated, and art is clearly recognized as such. Modern art defys all

Steven Brent Bunn ENG 261-02 3/21/2016 Research Project An Assortment of Heroism Theme is essential to any great work of literature, and while the following are certainly very different tales, Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, Beowulf and The Dream of the Rood each have particularly strong themes of heroism, though, they each have their own distinct idea of what heroism is, their own flavor one might say. It is partly because of their strong themes and ideas that they are still well-known and read

Wislawa Szymborska once said, “In every tragedy, an element of comedy is preserved. Comedy is just a tragedy reversed”. Ford Madox Ford’s, The Good Soldier, is an example of a tragedy with comedic elements contained within it. Respectively, individuals respond differently to comedy. With that said, It is completely subjective and can be entertaining for some while not amusing for others. Sometimes comedy can even overpower the seriousness of the writing and damage the material, making a joke out

For instance, when referring to how many tigers ran around the tree Sybil commented ?Only six!?(14), similarly when asked how many bananas the banana fish were eating she exclaimed ?Six!?(16). Firstly, Sybil?s use of the number ?six? suggests that she is repeating the phase phrase six figure but

and uncle, I bid them adieu and went into the Asolo Repertory Theater to see Born Yesterday. The playwright is Garson Kanin, and the director of the Asolo’s production is Peter Amster. The story was amazing. It was like Legally Blonde meets My Fair Lady a la 1950s. And I loved every second of it. The production itself was incredible, it brought to life a story of greed and how women were, and still are, regarded as infantile and how this ignorance can be used to bring about the downfall of those who

F. Scott Fitzgerald said it best when he stated, “That is part of the beauty of literature. You discover that your longings are universal longings, that you’re not lonely and isolated from anyone. You belong.” That’s the great thing about literature; it allows people to feel like part of something. And some of the best literature has come from America and authors like Fitzgerald. F.

In the play Macbeth by WIlliam Shakespeare, the supernatural is an ever present force, seen in the witches, the ghost of banquo, and maybe some other places. The way Shakespeare portrays the supernatural, and especially the witches, add a great deal s to the play, and also contribute in key ways to the themes, structure, tone. Mood, and literary devices in ways that are designed to affect the audience of the play. The most important contribution in my opinion, was that they made the play scary, and
