    Dallas Buyers Club Summary

    Leto’s approach to playing Rayon Real in Dallas Buyers Club was Inside/Out. He used Stanislavski’s system called ‘spiritual realism’ by completely emerging himself into the character he was playing. He never broke out of character while filming even his costars said that it felt like they were working with Rayon not Jared Leto. There are some elements that may make you think that Leto used an Outside/In approach because he actually lost a lot of weight, waxed his body and changing his dialect (physical and visual stimuli) but since he was trying to be as realistic as possible it makes it an Inside/Out approach. You could also see the psychological and mental changes that happened to the real Rayon Real (dealing with her sexuality, having AIDS,…

    Summary By Loretta Kelley

    Introduction From the opening line, author Loretta Kelley shows not only her passion for mathematics, but also how she feels mathematics is not being taught properly by most instructors. Kelly’s appeals to her audience by telling how many current math teachers do not include the history of math in their curriculum. Kelly feels this is an area where instructors can help to make math interesting to the masses. Without seeming overly critical, Kelly does a wonderful job getting her point across by showing which specific areas math can correlate with history. In doing so, Kelley presents the idea teaching mathematical history can capture the attention and imagination of students.…

    Les Miserables Analysis

    Hannah Kent, in Burial Rites and Billie August in Les Miserables explore a variety of injustices as a product of prejudice by revealing the flaws of their Nineteenth Century social system. Although Kent released her novel in the 21st century, she thoroughly presents Nineteenth Century Iceland in all its formidable culture of prejudice and hardship to the same extent that August explores Nineteenth Century France in Les Miserables. Though both authors propose that one’s preconception of another rests in the position of their social class, August presents that as one’s social class changes, the prejudice changes towards them changes. This is different to Kent as she entices the readers to see the nature of men and their prejudice towards women…

    Why Is Julie Andrews Really Important?

    Throughout the progressive film era, the lives of everyday people have been impacted by the lives of those who were once considered average. The classic “Cinderella” story occurs more frequently than could be believed; poor and abused beings with a special gift who then work to create for themselves a safe haven. Hope, for them, is found amongst friends rather than amidst family. Though hard to envision a now popular celebrity surrounded by rags instead of riches, one such a person goes by the name of Julie Andrews. Julie Andrews, originally Julia Wells, was an esteemed woman of strong character.…

    Movie Analysis: A Bronx Tale

    The movie "A Bronx Tale" is obviously set in the Bronx and sets a young man Calogero Anello, "C" against the trials and tribulations of growing up incorruptible, in a neighborhood of mob crime and wayward minors. The movie holds characters that fit delinquency terms such as chronic offenders, and characters that fit theories such as the choice theory. Calogero at the end of the movie seems to have an identity crisis as mentioned by Erikson in his theory. Also characters show signs of being latent delinquents, and some characters seem to attribute their actions to the social learning theory. The movie as a whole is a great sign to see the varying degrees of delinquency especially in urban communities. I think the movie also gives people…

    Julie Andrews

    “The mythic origin of ‘the country we now know as the United States’ is at Plymouth Rock, and the year is 1620.” James W. Loewen stresses this origin as mythic due to the fact that for thousands of years humans had inhabited the land now known as America. Loewen goes on to describe the horrors the native peoples of America went through due to the diseases and other such terrible things the white “settlers” brought to the “New World.” However, it is barely mentioned in Loewen’s book, The Lies My Teacher Told Me, that the Separatists were acting upon a word of God, or Manifest Destiny. If Manifest Destiny were taken into account more, one would be able to provide a legitimate argument in favor of the Pilgrims’ intent. (Loewen, 77) The Separatists were members of a radical religious movement in England in the 16th and 17th centuries. William Brewster, in 1606, led a portion of this group to Leiden, the Netherlands, to avoid further religious oppression from the English government. Some members of this Separatist group then voted, ten years later, to relocate to America. In order for them to afford such a journey, the Separatists received funding from a group of London investors, in return for produce fro…
