A Comparison of Iron Man 1 and Iron Man 2 Several superhero movies have been made but none have been as amazing and awesome as Iron Man 2, including Iron Man. The expectations of the first one were too high which made it hard for them to meet up to it. Since Iron Man failed at meeting its expectations the first time around, the expectations weren’t so high which made it easier for Iron Man 2 to meet it and surpass it. Iron Man 2 is much better than Iron Man because the setting, characters and plot are more developed and intriguing than the first one. The setting in the first Iron Man is a mystery and leaves the audience wondering and clueless about what is going to happen and what the movie is about. The setting starts off in Afghanistan where Tony Stark is with his friend, who is in the military. They are demonstrating a new missile Stark industries has created. While they are demonstrating the missile Tony Stark is ambushed and held captive by a terrorist group. They are still in Afghanistan and a fellow captive named Yinsen helps Tony Stark build and create “Iron Man”. The surrounding and environment that Stark and the captive are in is dark and the characters and surrounding are hard to make out. In Iron Man 2 the setting starts off in Russia and shows the audience the villain reading and watching news about Tony Stark (Iron Man) in a dark room. The movie continues in Russia showing the audience the villain Ivan Vanko (Whiplash) building a weapon or an arc reactor which he plans on using against Iron Man. The movie mostly takes place in the United States, but unlike the first one the movie also takes place in very many countries. Another difference between the two was the technological difference. In the first Iron Man technology was still developing while in the second one technology was at its peak. The difference in the two was very noticeable and visible. In Iron Man 1 the

    I liked the movie better. I personally did not really like the ending of the book. A. Square got to see the 3rd dimension, something no one except the council knew about. I thought there was going to be a big revelation at the end of the book, but instead he gets thrown into jail and basically forgotten. It was like nothing happened. Not even his grandson found out.…

    Napoleon Dynamite

    Part of Napoleon Dynamite's character is defined through mise-en-scene. His costuming throughout the movie is very indicative of whom he is; he is almost always seen wearing out of date clothing, usually from the 80s. He wears very drab colors, except for when his shirt sports a vivid design. His mismatched, corny, and awkward clothing are synonymous with his personality. On the other end of the spectrum, he wears a gauche-colored yet slick-looking suit to the dance. This is fitting due to the fact that he thinks he is suave for having a hot date, yet he is still "gauche" according to his date and the rest of the school.…

    It starts to take place in the future, located in Florida, United States. The only difference I picked up between the movie and novel, however is the moment where Ender was present near Graffs cabin building a raft, whereas the movie abruptly went past this scene. Ender has always been misunderstood in his life, such as this quote that proves this, ¨That’s where you’re mistaken. He’s even sweeter than he looks (28). Even though this scene appears minor, it was the only place where Ender felt human, and could do what he wanted. I think that this was included to show that they didn’t completely rip out Ender’s childhood out from…

    All in all, it was a great movie with great direction and acting. The storyline is great and makes it hard to stop watching. It keeps the audience glued to their seat to see what happens at the end of the movie. And, the ending is so appropriate for the movie. It was great writing and what an action drama should be like. The recommendation for this movie could not be higher. It is a true…

    Some actors acted and appeared entirely different in the movie than the book. The directing and special effects were okay in some scenes, but half-baked and lousy in others. Furthermore, the characters are developed far less in the film and many semi-important scenes in the novel are excluded in the film. Do not watch this movie unless you have read the novel (or even if you have read it). If you haven’t read the book and decide to watch the movie instead, you will fail to understand the complicated relationships between each character and between the Socs and Greasers and just think the movie is substandard and all aspects of the movie lacked in action, emotion, or just seemed like they were not well thought out. A 3.5/10 may seem harsh, but I was not pleased. Just go read the book instead. It had the potential to be a great film, but severely missed the…

    In Aldous Huxley's Brave New World the motto of the new state is "COMMUNITY, IDENTITY, STABILITY"(3). Creativity, expression and imagination are sacrificed to attain this. Each citizen is conditioned to do what they like and like what they do. In our society people often do jobs because they think that they will make a lot of money, or because they are pressured by others. We are encouraged to put ourselves into thousands of dollars of debt to be successful instead of doing what we love or what we are good at. Doing something you love is more sustainable than something you are forced to do. If any of the aspects of the New World State were to be imitated in our society, their constant employment and contentment with their jobs would be most desirable.…

    Iron Cage

    • 2047 Words
    • 9 Pages

    In chapter one of The Iron Cage, Rashid Khalidi sets the stage for the premise of his book, by examining the conflicting evidence of the Palestinians’ plight. In order to do so, the narrative begins in 1948, following the eviction of more than half of the Arab Palestinian population as a result of the Arab – Israel conflict of that year. Khalidi goes on to enumerate a few of the respective differing Arab and Israel accounts of how it was that a people that once constituted the majority of the population of a land, became the minority. Revisionist Israeli historians have attempted to debunk traditional accounts that absolve Israel of any wrongdoing, such as the notion that Palestinians attacked the yishuv first, by looking at the newly opened Israeli, American, and British archives. Although Khalidi is appreciative of the latest attempts of objectivity, the author goes on to claim that Israeli revisionists continue to provide shortsighted narratives, because of an inability to incorporate Arab sources to the reinterpretations. Furthermore, Khalidi castigates Arab interpretations of the conflict as well, by noting the over emphasis they put on external causes, such as the superiority of the Israeli armed forces, or the alliance between Israel and Transjordan. Although Khalidi noticeably acknowledges many of the claims from both sides, his conclusion is nevertheless, that not enough attention has been paid to the internal reasons why Palestine as a nation has failed.…

    Invisible Man

    The invisible man is a novel diving deep into the social and political issues of society. While doing so, it follows the experiences and obstacles of one particular blank man who is the “invisible man” (IM). Chapter to chapter, he comes across a new individual who has a completely different definition of him and that gives him a completely different role to play in society. By the end of the novel, the invisible man has a sense of moral reconciliation and he has some sense of his identity. His interactions with other characters, along with his attitude, and the use of several literary techniques used by the author make this moral reconciliation completely evident and obvious. In the epilogue, the IM realizes everything that has happened and can distinguish between the lessons that he has learned. The book shows a long, tedious, and struggling transition from an IM to someone on their way to an identity.…

    Invisible Man

    According to Goethe, "We do not have to visit a madhouse to find disordered minds; our planet is the mental institution of the universe." Despite the hyperbolic nature of Goethe 's statement, it holds some truth. Because of this element of truth, society looks to psychoanalysis as an important tool for understanding human nature. Furthermore, psychoanalytic criticism of authors, characters, and readers has a place in literary criticism that is as important as the place of psychoanalysis in society. This is because of the mimetic nature of much of modern literature. In fact, the psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan wrote, "If psycho-analysis is to be constituted as the science of the unconscious, one must set out from the notion that the unconscious is structured like a language,"(1) thus directly relating literature – the art of language - and psychoanalysis. Searching the database of the Modern Language Association for articles about the use of psychoanalysis for understanding Ralph Ellison 's Invisible Man yields one article by Caffilene Allen, of Georgia State University, in Literature and Psychology in 1995. Thus, further study of this subject seems warranted. As Allen points out, "Purely psychoanalytic interpretations of Invisible Man are rare, even though Ellison clearly threads the theories of at least Freud throughout his novel."(2) Because of the rarity of psychoanalytic critiques of Invisible Man, this paper will examine the character of the invisible man in the Prologue and Epilogue of Ellison 's masterpiece using the theories of Sigmund Freud, Carl Gustav Jung, and Jacques Lacan.…
