The movie Pleasantville is about two teenagers who mysteriously get drawn into the 1950s fictional, black-and-white television sitcom, Pleasantville. The show portrays a very stereotypical image of the 1950s having similar elements to that of “Father Knows Best.” In Pleasantville, both David and Jennifer are forced to take on the roles of Bud and Mary-Sue. But as they play along in the perfect and pure little town of Pleasantville, their presences soon influence extreme changes. As the citizens of Pleasantville discover sex, art, books, music and the concept of originality, colour erupts in their black-and-white world. Colour spreads throughout the town, threatening the Mayor to rid of the sinful/tainted colours, and change Pleasantville back to what it once was. The film also secretly represented the double standard for men and women. In the time of the 1950’s, women were said to stay at home. Women were supposed to stay in the house, with the kids, prepare food for the family, and have it ready for the husband when he walked in from work. Women of this time period were supposed to look beautiful at all times, never have a bad moment, and were not to worry about a thing, especially social problems, but were more like a “pet” for the husband to showcase. The town of Pleasantville is a figurative ‘garden of Eden’. The town is perfect and nothing goes wrong until someone makes a bad choice (in this case Jennifer) and the whole world of Pleasantville is turned upside down. Betty Parker, the repressed housewife, is figuratively a representation of Eve. She’s so innocent that she doesn’t even know what sex is. When she “sinned” so to say, she wasn’t even aware that what she was doing was wrong. Particularly in a certain scene, where Mary-Sue (Jennifer) plays the role of Satan as she spreads the knowledge of “evil"; she teaches her mother about sex and how to satisfy herself. The tree with the apple represents the “Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil.” As the bible story…

Although these three actions seem completely unique from each other, sharing almost no common practices, they are surprisingly similar when looking at them using the eyes of Klinkenborg, Graham, and Noë. There is a major correlation through the learning process of each task mentioned above, along with all tasks that fit into the guidelines of Noë’s notion. While all three writers had different intentions in their literary work, combining the ideas of the piece create a whole set of life lessons that are very important to being able to live in the ‘real-life’ world. Never forget that, “Prose is the residue, the consequence, of the writer’s choices, Choices about the shape of each sentence And how each sentence shapes the others,” (Klinkenborg, 35). How an author starts their sentences can affect the rest of the work, in scores of ways, including either a beneficial or an undesirable way, as one feebly written sentence can botch the flow that the author developed.…

While this marked improvement over my past writing, the improvements were minimal at best, albeit some areas were better than others. This essay showed harmful proclivities in my writing that seemed difficult to abandon, such as the continued usage of the word “you”, and editorializing with personal pronouns. The largest problem with this essay, however, was the absence of eloquence and sophistication in my writing. A clear lack of controlled vocabulary was present, notable in the second sentence of the essay; “... nothing screams the epitome of resilience…”, and in a later sentence; “... determined as all hell to get down.” Both sentences contain weak diction, such as “screams” and “hell”, where different, more sophisticated diction would…
In the following paragraph, observe how the writer moves clearly from a description of the head of the clown (in sentences two, three, and four), to the body (sentences five, six, seven, and eight), to the unicycle underneath (sentence nine). Notice also how the concluding sentence helps to tie the paragraph together by emphasizing the personal value of this gift.…
Although, many complex issues are examined, the universal theme of loss of faith that accompanies oppression is elucidated by the Cold War setting. These themes will resonate amongst a diverse and mature audience. I chose the short story medium as it provided the best platform in which I could develop the narrative and focus on the elements of the plot, Grough my mentioning of Golden gs.ce to r Seuss in 'ther composers managed to communicate similar ideas in their texts. I was in as I didn’t want the distraction brought on by the structural limitations of other textual forms. Wanting to focus on the philosophical discussion without compromising the narrative plot, I researched the ways in which other composers managed to communicate similar ideas in their texts. I was influenced by the satirical works of Doctor Seuss in ‘The Butter Batter Book’ where he used basic rhyme to subtly communicate his criticisms. Grough my mentioning of Golden gs.ce to r Seuss in 'ther composers managed to communicate similar ideas in their texts. I was inThe concept captivated me and although he was targeting a much younger audience, I expanded on his concept and gave my antagonist, specific speech intonations with a key focus on his use of basic rhyme, exaggeration and sibilance evident where I write “She was no more than a sinister serpent that spat lies, and sputtered…

My greatest strength as a writer is the ability to choose my words carefully. Ever since I was young, my father has filled my head with what seemed like bizarre words I’ll never use. As the years go by, I find myself using these strange words more often, and eventually they become part of my everyday vocabulary. This combined with my ever-growing mental word bank supplied by the books I’ve read has allowed for a wide selection of words to use in my writing. I wouldn’t go as far as to say I’m silver-tongued; my ability to string these words together is nothing extraordinary. However, the general knowledge of various words and their uses has aided my writing greatly.…
