Man On Fire, By Tony Scot
The movie “man on fire” by Tony Scot is about a burned-out ex-CIA assassin, who has given up on life. Creasy's friend Rayburn brings him to Mexico City to be a bodyguard to 9 year-old Pita, daughter of a businessman Ramos and his wife Lisa. His interested in being Pita’s bodyguard is really small, but for lack of something better to do, he agrees to be her bodyguard, however Creasy couldn’t stand her and her annoyance questions about him and his life. But slowly, she gets through his impenetrable exterior, his defenses drops, and he opens up to her. Creasy's new-found purpose in life is devastated when Pita is kidnapped. Despite him being seriously aggrieved during the kidnapping, he promises to kill anyone involved in the kidnapping of Pita “Mercy is between them and God and it’s my job to arrange the meeting “he says.
Man on fire has lot of blood and braveries but also a lot of heart as a killer looks for redemption. This film recognizes the difficulty and the challenge that justice is in a mixed up world of police, crimes and corrupts cops. It asks good questions about the value we put on life, and also how those values

I choose realistic because of the wide open shots in the opening of the movie which capture the true essence of the city’s people and breathe life into as if it were a character which puts fear into the audience by adding overlays and tremor effect to it and I choose psychoanalytic because of how the author amplify the strong relationship that has between Creasy and Pita for example in the end scene when Creasy finally get Pita from the kidnapers the author uses the sound track “coming home” by Lisa to deepen Creasy s feeling and also to make the audience feel the same way as Creasy’s

    Stolen By Night by Steve Watkins. The main character in this book is Nicollette, a 14-year-old girl who aspires to follow in her father's footsteps and become a bicycle racer. Stolen By Night is a secondary source. I know this due to the book being described as 'historical fiction' which indicates that this book is not a real story, but is based on real historical events. The author is also a man who tells me he is not Nicolette.…

    Set in the Australian summer of 1967, Michael Gow’s Away is an elaborate play which explores the ideas of self- discovery and change. Through the war affected nation, three families, each from different social classes, depart on an iconic Australian holiday to the beach. In the play, Gow utilises the characters to demonstrate that going away physically is intrinsically linked to their mental developments. With the help of references to Shakespeare’s A Midsummer night’s Dream, Away uses Gwen and Coral to show the significant psychological changes made by the characters during holidays to the coast. Tom throughout the play acts as a catalyst for the change in other characters and is associated with Puck in A Midsummer Night’s Dream.…

    Dear Gary Paulsen: The first time I read Hatchet was when I was in the fourth grade. I have always liked survival stories and Hatchet made me really about how fast our world can be turned upside down. I really appreciate the section when Brian tells how his teacher, Perpich, told him to "stay positive and stay on top of things" and "You are your most valuable asset. Don't forget that. You are the best thing you have.…

    In the poem, “To This Day” By Shane koyczan he shows a bibliography about bullying and how it affects people. And how he got bullied as a kid. People need to understand that what they say doesn't just go one ear out the other. People can be extremely hurtful without knowing it. One thing that kids said from the poem is, “kids used to say she looks like a wrong answer that someone tried to erase but couldn’t quite get the job done”. That is just one of the many things kids said. The quote shows that even if people think i can't get worse that is usually when it does. But the problem is that people dont understand the scar that they leave when they do those…

    A long time ago the difference between perception and reality was defined as the act of understanding in contrast to the act of being real. Reality could be tricky; most of us including myself depending on scenarios of our lives tend to give in to ideas which are not applicable to reality as a whole. The best example of this is written in the short story “All Over” by Guy de Maupassant. In which his main character Lormerin is very self conscious and narcissistic also Lise de Vance, a former old love plays a big role in hurting Lormerin ego and opening his eyes by showing him, his real self. Many would say that when reality knocks it could be harsh and confusing. In the next couple of paragraphs I want to show how my understanding of reality can be applied to the short story previously mentioned. Every day life brings so many unexpected moments of which we dream of but never really happen, this is where we draw the line for reality and perception of a perfect to be situation. Reality is in the eyes of the beholder and no one can really change that, all of us are born dreamers. When things get out of hand and reality hits, this is where people suffer. Why do we suffer? We suffer because we give too much or expect too much and not everyone has the same ideals when returning the favor. Also, some events might be trifling to some but extremely important to others.…

    In The Embers and the Stars by Kohák the intersection of time and eternity is expressed. Kohák has focused on "natural" time, which is to say that time is not just what is expressed by a clock, or with a series of numbers on a clock. "It is, rather, set within the matrix of nature's rhythm which establishes personal yet non-arbitrary reference points." This means that time is not measured in seconds, minutes, or hours but by personal existence and experience. These "reference points" are experiences in your life that are meaningful and you help spatially distinguish points in time. Time as we know it is explained by Kohák as a "construct imposed upon nature's rhythm, subordination and ordering it". He does say that it is a useful construct, but as for the theory of relativity time does not hold up.…

    The dignified journey of the chapter “Emergency” created by Denis Johnson, created a concrete dialog of the religion practice Christianity. As the chapter progresses the reader explores the content of the two characters F-head and Georgie, and stimulates the differences between spiritual reality and original reality. Denis Johnson specified the events in the chapter “Emergency” with moments that occur in the hospital in connection to the experiences outside of the work place. However, the main concept suggested that the theme would be the visualization of the seeing eye. Therefore, the interpretation of the theme symbolizes the connection towards the visual concept, and the differences between the realities portrayed in the chapter “Emergency.”…
