Everyone is a critic. Whether we realize it or not, people critique things everyday. Though we all critique, there are mediums through which we view things. Three very different films also all take on very different critique styles. This essay will look at three films- Halloween, 300, and Frozen and the different critique styles under which they are viewed.…

The movie that I will be reviewing is Cinderella Man. Directed by Ron Howard and stars Russell Crowe, Renee Zellweger and Craig Bierko. The story is about James Braddock, who is a light heavyweight boxer, who was forced to retire from the ring after breaking his hand in the last fight. His wife Mae had hoped for years and years that he would quit boxing before really messing himself up. James works as a laborer at the docks but he still has ambitions to box. A couple years after his last fight, his old manager wants him to be a last minute substitute against the world’s second-ranked boxer. James agrees to fight, looses a couple times but then eventually steps his game up and wins. The point of view in the story is first person. I suppose this point of view was used by the director to give the audience a perspective of James’s life. The mood of the story is surprising. It is surprising because when you watch James during fights, you’ll never know if he will give up or win. Cinderella Man takes place in New York and New Jersey during the great depression. It is important to the story because it was a time when people experienced the worst economic hardship in the United States history. The main characters are James Braddock, who is an ex-prizefighter, Mae Braddock, James’s wife and Joe Gould, a boxing manager. Its intended audience are sports and boxing lovers, because the movie features many fights. The main theme of the film is that that no matter how dim things look and how unrealistic goals can be, you can always achieve them if you work hard enough. In my opinion, I think the actors did an excellent job, the acting was not bad nor lines being cheesy. They used a lot of emotion and expressing when saying their lines. In my opinion, I think the movie was perfect the way it was, I really enjoyed and it also made me want to achieve my dream goals in…

This short paper will be in response to my reading of Edward White’s “5 Paragraph Theme Theme” essay. The following paragraphs will illustrate my opinion of White’s idea, if I think it is an effective means of writing a paper, and if I believe it should be the way all papers, essays, and reports are written. Lastly I will finish up with an overview of what I have discussed.…
This week’s readings had the common theme of global climate change. All of these sources encompassed different aspects of climate change. John Houghton’s “The Greenhouse Effect” was more factual and scientific. S. Goerge Philander’s “The Ozone Hole, A Cautionary Tale” was informational too, however, the piece also discussed global reactions to the rapid climate change. Thomas R. Karl and Kevin E. TrenBerth’s “Modern Global Climate Change”, focused on the intensity of anthropogenic influences of climate change and the dismal projection of the future. In “Stabilization Wedges: Solving the Climate Problem for the Next Fifty Years With Current Technologies”, Stephen Pacala and Robert Socolow went in a different direction and presented a positive outlook on the improvement of the Earth’s current environmental state and introduced the idea of stabilization wedges. Lastly, the IPCC 2014 Summary report is a report that focused on looking at how nations can act to limit climate change. In the rest of this response, I will provide a synopsis of the goals and themes that were displayed in each of the readings. Finally, I will reflect on any questions or concerns the readings have evoked in me.…
The power of myths was an event that changed many lives. Joseph Campbell dedicated his live and scholarly work to study the myths for an explanation of consciousness. His work isn’t just a collection of interesting exotic stories but they are for those who are willing to imagine their rich inner life. Campbell explains there are “four function of myth.” The first function is for the individual to explore their inner goddess, finding if the mystery exist. The second function is to explain everything that one may come in contact with. The second function explains the image of cosmos. The third function is a shared set of right and wrongs. These common beliefs are what a society depends on. The last function that Campbell explains is the fourth function is what supposedly carries an individual through life, from childbirth to death. This function is to understand the individuals’ social order in life.…
The higher education system in America has become an expectation, and an apparent necessity, for those looking to achieve success in the work force. Young adults' mentors, including teachers, counselors, and parents, urge students to attend college after the competition of high school, no matter the circumstances. In his work, "Are Too Many People Going to College", Charles Murray brings this system of postsecondary education under question, analyzing the problems within our society that have grown from the high importance placed on earning a college degree.…
This article was full of information about sexual minorities and the hardships they face. However, it was very redundant and I felt I was reading the same facts and statistics that were previously said in the paragraph before. Also, the facts that were being used are common knowledge to many people in my generation’s age bracket. Perhaps the author thought she had some new and enlightening information that the public did not know about. That is just my opinion from reading this article. When I analyzed it after reading, I summarized the article into three main questions that the author had answered throughout her writing.…
Effective communication is key to making any relationship work. Communication can be verbal (speaking), as well as non-verbal (facial expressions, body language, etc.), and can dictate how compatible two people are, and how long a relationship may last. Communicating includes expressing emotions, interaction, touch and others that dictate how the relationship between two people will develop. Being able to open up to your partner, and covey your feelings allows for a better understanding, and greater rapport which are all important. Effective communication can be directly connected to Reiss’s wheel theory of love, and the four concepts that are part of the marriage market endogamy, exogamy, homogamy and heterogamy all of which can help explain fundamentals of relationships, as well as the different types.…
Also with them being able to interpret and express their own feelings about how well or not the film was performed based upon how the novel was written. My expectations were impacted upon the relationship I had developed with the novel as how the article mentions, “ The relationship we have with the book is personal and special: the relationship we have with the movie is more distanced from that, more passive, and certainly less demanding of us”(Jenn4). This perfectly defines on how my expectations were set for the film because i had grown all these feelings in depth as i read along with the novel and so was expected the same when watching the film. I say that having the opportunity to show the student the film after reading the novel is a excellent idea as how the teacher can develop different activities to which the students can take their time to analyze their thoughts with the scenes shown and acted in the film to the novel. This can build so much comprehension to one and really be interesting to…
Elizabeth Bishop’s “The Hanging of the Mouse”, places animals in the roles of humans in reference to an execution. The writer uses animals to replace humans to possibly convey a message or point of view towards the death penalty. In the story, the mouse is being executed for what we believe is some sort of crime. It isn’t clear whether or not the mouse actually committed a crime, but we are led to believe that an act occurred in which caused the mouse to be executed on this particular day.…
The last two meet-ups at pollys were not typical like discussion that one has come to expect from the small restaurant tucked in a Greenwich village. The last two meetings were thought provoking, button pressing and more serious. They were much more polemic, much more groundbreaking, much newer.…
