The first sound we hear is the ticking of an old grandfather clock, this compliments the opening scenes where we see a cartoon version of Lola running through ticking clocks. The repetition of the tick, tick, tick adds emphasis to the motif that is time, and how it controls the future events in the movie. The race against time is one of the predominant themes in Run Lola, Run and this is shown by Tywker where he sets three individual runs set at 20 minutes each. If Lola gets there to her location too late, both her and Manni rob a supermarket and Lola ends up being shot shortly after. In the second run she arrives a few seconds too late and Manni is the one whom dies. In the third and final run, Lola reaches Manni in time. This leads the pair away from robbing the supermarket as Lola has obtained the needed money through a casino. Tywkers used the theme of time through techniques to allow a further understanding of the fixed nature of time, and how it can’t be modified to suit the needs of anyone, no matter what the outcome will be.…

    Camazotz In A Wrinkle In Time

    Amongst the 7.6 billion people in the world today, there are about 6,700 different languages and about 5,000 different cultures. The vast spectrum of disparate people allows for sweet liberty and great improvements. John F. Kennedy realized this in his quote, “Conformity is the jailer of freedom and the enemy of growth.” This means being the same leads to both the inability to exercise rights and restricted development. Diversity is essential, as expressed in Kennedy’s statement, the residents of the planet Camazotz in A Wrinkle in Time, and the story of Ruby Bridges going to school.…

    A Wrinkle In Time Analysis

    In A Wrinkle in Time, Meg’s level of self-control changes significantly. Before the change, Meg’s self-control was very low as she would punch people at the smallest taunt. For example, Meg attacked a boy at her school for insulting her brother. In fact, she would let all her common sense escape her mind, and she would just use her instincts. After the change, she would keep her anger to herself, though she would still feel it. For instance, when she felt anger towards her dad for not allowing her to save her brother, she did not act on her feelings. Instead, she gathered support from Aunt Beast, Mrs.Who, Mrs.Which, Mrs.Whatsit.…

    The Green Mile

    The book The Green Mile, written by Stephen King, is about a prison guard who works on death row of the Tennessee State Penitentiary. Paul Edgecomb has his work cut out for him every day with this job due to the behavior of the prisoners as well as the immaturity of one of his guards, Percy Wetmore. Throughout the book, Paul experiences many things, good and bad; however, when John Coffey arrives on the “E-Block” things change completely for Paul. John has a very different vibe to him than the other prisoners. He was accused of the murder and rape of two girls and sentenced to death for his actions. While in prison, John preforms many magical acts such as bringing a dead mouse back to life and curing Warden Hal Moores’ wife of cancer which makes Paul believe that John didn’t kill those two little girls. This, along with watching the prisoner’s actions every day, changed the way Paul viewed life and changed his faith. I really enjoyed reading this book. I was always eager to read on and see what happened next when reading.…
