    Who is Charles Foster Kane (Orson Welles) and what where the defining moments of his life? These are the questions that lead Thompson (William Alland) and the viewer on a captivating goose chase through the memories of Kane’s closest associates. Like the many possible meanings contained within the word kane, such as the Irish interpretation “little battler”, the Japanese translation of “money” and “gold”, the Welsh’s interpretation of “beautiful”, and the Hawaiian’s definition as “man”, friends and family each had there own interpretations of Charles Foster Kane. Collectively, these views show Kane as a character that was thrown into a position of power and money, and that underneath the façade of glamour and monetary possessions, he was a lonely and complex individual deprived of a normal childhood experience.…

    Every story needs to have original characters and an original storyboard. That’s not what Truman Capote and John Steinbeck thought. Capote and Steinbeck both portrayed two characters that have more similarities to each other than differences. They describe a tall and masculine fellow who follows the orders of their smaller and more bright individual. The perception is that Capote created these characters but his novel, “In Cold Blood,” the character's Perry Edwards Smith and Richard (Dick) Eugene Hickock are real people. That is why Capote’s book is considered a nonfiction novel. On the other hand, John Steinbeck writes the book, “Of Mice and Men,” which is about what it means to be human. The main characters George Milton and Lennie Small…

    In this paper I will argue that in his film, The Godfather, Francis Ford Coppola orchestrates the filmic elements (especially: editing and mise-en-scéne) to give the audience an intimate view of the complex world of a Mafia Don: Coppola's techniques sensitively portray the life and transformation of Michael Corleone; he leaves his status as a family outsider to become king of the underworld.…

    “Now, you remember children how I told you last Sunday about the good Lord going up into the mountain and talking to the people. And how he said, 'Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God’… And then the good Lord went on to say, 'Beware of false prophets which come to you in sheep 's clothing, but inwardly, they are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits.’ ” This opening quote by the Bible fearing woman Rachel sets the tone for the film The Night of the Hunter. This quote opens the film with a tremulous benevolence, yet there is also something sinister here, a sense that she, Rachel, is providing mercy for all the world’s wickedness, into which the audience is about to be…

    In our society today our black boys are faced with the stigma of discrimination and racism. Individuals can respond to the Travon Martin dilemma which is explained in the article titled Requiem for Travon Martin: When Will America stop destroying the Lives of Black Boys. Many of our residents may respond to this statement in a negative or positive manner, while others may leave this decision of our President Barak Obama. However, according to Mr. Oreilly when “responding to President Obama’s speech regarding the not guilty verdict in the Travon Martin case remarked that it was wrong for Zimmerman to confront Martin based on his appearance”. One may reach the notion that racism does not exist in our society anymore while others may believe that racism…

    I’m currently a senior in Upper Darby High school and recently heard that the school administration has decided to ban “Slaughterhouse-five” which is a great book in my opinion. It is a book about WWII soldier’s journey and how the prisoner of wars passed their days until end. It was even ranked 18th greatest English novel of the 20th century by Modern Library (“Banned Books Awareness: Slaughterhouse-five”). The author of the book Kurt Vonnegut was an American soldier in WWII and had faced the fire bomb of Dresden which is explained very well in this book too. He connected his experience of Dresden fire bombing into the story with the main character’s story. It is an anti-war or social commentary book where mostly it’s about what comes after…

    Citizen Kane was a film released in 1941 and it it was voted #1 in history of American film. It was written by, directed by and acted by Orson Welles. The story was set in Xanada in Florida and started with an introduction about that place. Citizen Kane has a strange opening as it opened with the camera panning a spooky haunted mansion and then the camera lingered and zoomed in closely to the sign saying ¡§No Trepassing, ¡¨ then the camera took us to the room in the house, we saw a person was lying on the bed and that was the main character of the story ¡§Charles Foster Kane.¡¨ (Orson Welles) We could see that he was dying and his last word was ¡§Rosebud¡¨, and then he dropped the ball, and it shattered.
