Under The Dome By Stephen King Analysis
To Reach A Goal You Have To Work Together

In the book "Under the Dome" by Stephen King the theme of the story is that you have to work together to reach a goal. In the book the goal was to survive, and escape the dome that had imprisoned Dale "Barbie" Barbara and his townspeople of Chester's Mill. There are many examples that support my statement. In the novel Barbie is framed for the murders of Junior and is sent to jail. The towns people work together by breaking Barbie out of jail and killing Junior who had a brain tumor that was causing him to act in a psychopath manner. By killing Junior and working as a team they stop Junior from killing again. When Big Jim begins to see the dome as an opportunity to gain the power of the town, he

    The Book Thief Film Analysis

    One of the most powerful movie elements to how the audience perceives a scene of the film is often looked over. Close to all pivotal movie scenes contain the little background music, also known as underscore. This powerful audio element effects the way audiences feel and react to a scene. The underscore that is present in The Book Thief greatly impacted the tone, mood, and suspense of certain scenes. Three of these scenes that were greatly impacted by underscore were when the Nazi party came to check basements for air raid shelters, when Liesel writes her life story in the basement, and when Liesel walks up Himmel Street after the bomb hits.…

    Tim Wintons "Cloudstreet" an analysis of the novel.

    The title, Cloudstreet, although a bit plain, couldn't be more appropriately named as everything that happens within the story revolves around the house nicknamed Cloudstreet. Winton sets this book around Perth, Western Australia, around the time of the second end of the Second World War over a span of twenty years. From reading other Winton novels it's easy to see that his part of the country has had a big impact on him and he has a strong affinity with his country and me being from the West makes it easy for me to relate to the novel. Winton uses words that only someone who has had the experience of growing up or living in country Western Australia would understand, for example he uses the word "boondie" which, if you had lived in country western Australia, is word used to describe a clump of hard sand and you use it to throw it at people, "boondie wars" and because he doesn't explain this to the reader it gave me a little smile on my face and made me feel I had some sort of relationship with the author.…

    The Ceiling, by Kevin Brockmeir, is a story about the gradual dissolution of a marriage between a husband, the narrator, and his wife, Melissa, during which a pitch black apocalyptic, metaphoric “ceiling” from the sky is descending across the town. As Melissa drifts further and further into a supposed depressive state, generating sorrow and sadness among the family members and citizens of the city, the ceiling, on gravitational downward path, is causing confusion and destruction.

    Confessions Of A Dangerous Mind Analysis

    Films that claim the statement, “based on a true story” intend to make all of the pictured events as accurate as possible. While depicting a historic moment can be incredible hard, it can be even harder when the original script is constructed upon a lie. Confessions of a Dangerous Mind is a movie based the life of the man responsible for creating a genre of television in which we capitalize on today, but also for creating an autobiography so far- fetched that it appears to be true. Confessions of a Dangerous Mind presents a look into the fabricated double life of Chuck Barris.…

    Allegory of the Cave/Truman Show Analysis

    Limited Knowledge, truth (or revelation), reality, and idealism are some of the common themes expressed in Plato’s Allegory of the Cave and the film “The Truman Show.” The differences can be found in the way Plato allows some of the prisoners to remain unknowing, by giving them an almost fear-like stance involving the truth of their world, and how to free themselves. Another is that the “false” world is created on different premises, either to create a safe an ideal environment, or merely to only allow the characters to think their world is ideal (both treat those involved like a science experiment). Both of these stories, however, have a similar plot in that they keep the subjects having very limited knowledge, living in an almost ideal world. These subjects are then meant to seek truth in the reality of life, rather than in what they experienced thus far throughout their lives. This could possibly be implying that you may only truly believe in reality if you’ve experienced an event firsthand, rather than by methods of learning similar to secondhand knowledge.…

    Analysis Of Markus Zusak's The Book Thief

    The Book Thief, by Markus Zusak, has caused me to have multiple reactions, to the story, characters, and themes. They have made me feel mad, sad, upset, happy, but most of all surprised; throughout the recent readings every night more gets added to the story and more just surprises me. What completely shocked/surprised me was when Liesel fought back against Ludwig Schmeikl and what followed afterwards. However, there has been far more things than just that, that have surprised me. A couple include Liesel receiving two books for christmas, Hans Junior leaving, and how Rudy has reacted to Liesel throughout the entire passage,…

    The Gods must be crazy film book analysis

    The movie of the Gods must be crazy shows a blunt distinction among the cultures of the Bushmen and modern societies within communications amongst members from two very different cultures. There are many obvious differences in the characters actions, values and divergent worldly perspectives. This movie shows variations between anthropological culture and ethnocentrism. In a Bushmen culture it was very peaceful and had no social classes. I noticed that neither discipline nor was anything severe ever said to the youngsters who were unpredictably really disciplined. The Bushmen would put the highest value on their close ones and their connection with God, (which ties in with Chapter 12 and religion that we just recently covered). The people have an immense respect to any forms of life breathing or not breathing. After watching this movie a few times something got my attention. The Bushman fire at an animal with a sedative projectile and patiently await until the animal lies down completely still then kill it, later asking forgiveness for executing it by explaining that it was a means of survival for his family. This act revealed that the Bushmen hunted only out of requirement and never for fun. This revealed hunting was a form of survival not a means of fun as it is in modern cultures now. They survived in conditions which civilized people would probably see as filthy; but the Bushman seemed to be satisfied with this lifestyle.…
