Although SpongeBob is an iconic popular show, not every viewer would link “Squeaky Boots” to Poe’s short story, and understand that this well-crafted episode demonstrates optional intertextuality. Over and over, the author pulls a number of references to acknowledge the show’s association with Poe’s writing. However, the context in “Tell- Tale Heart” is not necessary to enjoy the episode’s plot. For those who catch the reference, the meaning of the whole episode only slightly changes. One main concept that draws a connection is the psychological effects of guilt. The leading character of both text faces this conflict when he eagerly seeks to free himself of an item. This item’s existence is a constant annoyance to the character’s mind and causes…

If someone asked you if Finding Nemo and the movie The Princess Bride were the same story, you wouldn’t agree. Surprisingly, they are the same.

In the novel The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson, although Dr. Henry Jekyll and Mr. Edward Hyde are of the same body, they have completely different personalities, as well as completely different physical appearances. While Dr. Jekyll “‘is a tall fine build of a man” (Stevenson 45), Mr. Hyde is described as “pale and dwarfish” (19). This contrasts the stature of both men. Dr. Jekyll is written to be tall, and Mr. Hyde short. The author writes Dr. Jekyll as having a “large handsome face” (24), yet creates a grotesque image for Mr. Hyde by giving him “an impression of deformity” (19) and “a displeasing smile” (19). These two men are written to be extremely different, not only in nature and appearance, but also…

What made Angels in America one of the best play for the last 50 years? For a similar reason why A Raisin in the Sun and The Zoot Suit were famous for. All these three play are based on racism and prejudice against an individual because of their sex, skin color, religion and sex preference.

Refugee, a novel by Alan Sunderland conveys the horrific qualities of Australia by showing us the view of a 12-year-old boy, a refugee who has to live in a detention centre for 12 months in the Australian outback. Sunderland condemns the fact that Australia has closed doors and is not letting refugees into its world. Sunderland encourages the reader to feel empathy for the plight of those seeking refuge from other countries and exhorts us to embrace an Australian Identity of acceptance. I define the concept of Australian identity as being loving, welcoming, and caring as well as the bonding of mateship and friendship. However, Alan Sunderland portrays the Australian Identity as racist, untrustworthy, and unaccepting towards refugees.…

One of the most famous plays ever to hit Broadway, “The Phantom of the Opera” written by Andrew Lloyd Webber, is a classic that no one can deny to be amazing. Its brilliant plot of a distorted musical genius that haunts an opera house in Paris and unconsciously helps a beautiful woman with her singing career and falls in love with her can seize anyone who watches it. Also, the dazzling music and setting launch the audience back into the time in which this incredible play takes place. But now a new version of this wonderful play has been created in the form of a movie that gives it a bit more spunk and pulls the audience, even more, into a grueling love triangle between a beautiful young actress and two men who would fight to the death for her affection.…
