Evolution Of A Criminal Poem Analysis

A Comparative Essay about the Documentary Evolution of a Criminal by Darius Monroe and the Poem “Invictus” by William E. Henley

In class today we watched this movie called Evolution of a Criminal by Darius Monroe. A couple of weeks ago we had to memorize this poem called invictus. Now we have to bring the two and summarize them in a n essay. Then we had to find a theme that deals with both the poem and the movie and explain why. We have to choose at least two literary elements. The two literary elements I’m choosing are flashback and simile. I'm using simile for the poem and flashback for the movie,
For the poem invictus I will be using the simile literary element. Invictus is a literary of a simile because the poem says “black as a pit from pole to pole.” That is a simile because it's comparing the darkness to a pit. I deliberate the author was saying he had a dark/bad life for a couple of years down the road when he said “black as a pit from pole to pole.”; a pole has to have an end so his bad years ended in a time period. This poem actually uses all types of literary elements but I chose the simile element
The movie Evolution of a Criminal uses flashback multiple times throughout the movie to help the viewers remember what happened and also they used flashback to show viewers what happened that wasn’t showed during the movie to make the viewers think. The movie uses flashback when Darius was being questioned about the robbery. They used flashback on him when he was talking after everything had happened like in a room telling us his experience and while he was doing it the movie was flashbacking to where everything he was talking about actually happened. The lesson in this movie is to not get caught up in the wrong crowd and don't be a follower because it could get you in a lot of trouble based on the movie. This movie is based on Darius life while he was in high
