    HUM 150 Week 5Individual Assignment

    The locations for the film were the McCallister’s home in Chicago, Illinois and Paris, France. You could tell how remarkable the mise-en-scenes because at the start of the movie, there were no characters, much less dialogues, but you could tell a lot from the background. Since the setting showed snowy neighborhood and the Christmas-y home of the McCallisters, you’d know that it was the Christmas season and most definitely winter. From the…

    Blazing Saddles review

    The movie takes place in two main locations, the little town of Rock Ridge and the capital where the governor resides. There is a railroad that is being built but it ran into an area of quicksand and now needs a new route. That new route that the railroad needs to take is right through the little all-white frontier town of Rock Ridge. Rock Ridge is full of simple townsfolk who all have the last name of Johnson, which exemplifies the homogeneity of the town. It shows the townsfolk in church and they are discussing the troubles that have been happening in the town, to which they decide they need to wire the governor for a new one since the last one they had was murdered.…

    Adapted from Taseko

    The weather and temperature were the major conflicts in this story. The whole point of this trip was to hunt some animals down, but because of the weather and temperature, the animals were nowhere to be seen. “Each day it [would grow] colder” (para. 12), “[causing] the animals [to move] west or south to lower valleys” (para. 12). It was bound to snow anytime; and on “the fifth day [of the trip] there were two inches of snow on the ground” (para. 14). The hunters knew they would “have real trouble getting out” (para. 14) and they needed to decide whether to leave or to stay. “The snow on the dry grass made [the inclines] slippery” which is why “the boy had trouble keeping up” (para. 15) with his father. With the “snow and wind rising” (para. 19), the branches were getting icy as they “clawed at their clothing” (para. 21).…

    Death In Stephen Hawking's To Build A Fire

    One reason the main character died is because he did not follow the trait of perception. In his crisis, he did not realize the severity of his situation. First, he does not realize the implications of how cold it is. The bitter cold meant nothing more to him than fifty degrees below zero (London 78). He never realized until body parts were numb that the cold was dangerous. Also, he had ignored the advice from an old-timer he had met at Sulfur Creek: “No man must travel alone in the Klondike after fifty below,” (London 85). The man, instead of going with someone, idiotically left his group of friends to see if he could profit from logging in the Yukon (London 78). Finally, after not seeing any harbingers of springs for half an hour, he suddenly falls in a hole (London 83). Perhaps he became careless and did not notice his own doom, as evidenced by how London wrote that everything seemed to be safe (London 83). Of course, he should…
