I Am Legend Reflection Paper
Reflection:

Hope. It is something that we can hold on to at times. One in which the main character in the movie, Richard Neville, only had. He had hoped that he can save the humanity and with determination, he did. The movie itself shows to us many values and lessons that each one has to learn in life. Like him, sometimes we also need to think of others first before ourselves, as what he did to save the mother and the child on the last part and also by doing his best to discover the antidote alone shows his integrity to humanity. Next, throughout the movie he treated his best friend, the dog, like it was like him. Therefore the movie also tells us that we need to respect life regardless of what he/she is for the society. Thirdly, his intelligence shown to us that in life, in order to survive we must use our wits. And finally, the discovery of the cure-gone-wrong for cancer shows to us what we are now, people have always been not contented with what they have, although I am not saying that its bad yet we also need to put limitations on what we are doing for as to what they say “Too much and too less of something is undesirable”.

Summary:

The movie is about, Richard Neville, the last man on Earth.

Neville is a strong-minded virologist who persistently remains in his hometown as the rest of his group escaped a virus that kills most of its victims and reduces any survivors to the bloodlust of slavering, photosensitive organisms. Neville's wife and daughter died off in a rescue copter as bridges explode and the city turns into insanity.

Three years later, the streets of his hometown are abandoned. His only companion is Sam, a female dog, who has a mind of her own, but remains loyal to her human friend.

By day, Neville and Sam monitor a place point described in his recorded transmission to a deaf planet, hunt vampire-zombies who hide from sunlight, and satisfy their DVD habits at a local video store populated by mannequins strategically dressed and

    Plea Bargaining

    • 1106 Words
    • 5 Pages

    According to Cornell University Law School" (2010), “plea bargains are agreements between defendants and prosecutors where defendants agree to plead guilty to some or all of the charges against them in exchange for concessions from the prosecutors” (para. 1). Plea bargains allows for prosecutors and judges to focus their time on more important cases. The way plea-bargains work with prosecutors is reducing or dismissing certain crimes committed by the defendant. The defendants part in a plea bargain is to give up information about the crimes committed, such as where were stolen goods are hid and how the crime was committed. The defendant may also have to confess to other crimes, turn in other defendants, and testify in court. In some jurisdictions prosecutors and defendants work with judges to work out a sentence for the crime committed. The judge always has the last say and rules on what he or she wants, but in federal courts, unlike other courts the judge does not have to take recommendations from the prosecution. Plea bargains have become somewhat controversial among society. Individuals believe that plea bargains allow criminals to get off easy with the crimes they committed. Just because a defendant is willing to confess about his or her crimes, it does not erase the harm and inconvenience it has caused the innocent individuals involved. Therefore, a defendant can only plead guilty to a crime and cannot plead or try to prove their innocence.…

    Some of the techniques Matheson uses are pathetic fallacy such as in chapter one “on these cloudy days” Neville is in a depressed mood, not happy or sad, just alone. The fact that Neville thought “isn't that amazing” about only one wooden board being loose on his house furthers this point as it gives the reader the impression that Neville thinks it in a bland, expressionless voice. The reason this leads to the point of alienation is that loneliness leads to depression and depression leads to isolation. Once isolated in a world where he is truly alone it is extremely challenging for Neville to keep his sanity, the weather plays a big part In his isolation as in chapter four he must spend “another day in a boarded-up rat hole” due to the sky being grey and if he is stuck in the house his mind will start to feel boxed in, as though it can't escape from it's prison.…

    There are many films that I have seen that have left me with my mouth open, but there is one film that stuck out from all of them. My favorite film of all time is, I Am Legend. This film had so many moments that left me in amazement. It is about a man that spends several years by himself trying to find a cure for a horrible side effect that made the human race lose every bit of its human traits, as a result from the cure of cancer. What I loved about this film is that it was not focused on just one specific genre. It was mostly a thriller but it had small parts of Drama, Comedy, Action and Horror. Many people do not think that having so many genres in one film can be a good thing, but this film made it possible in…

    On April 1st, 2015, I was fortunate enough to be able to attend the Faculty Recital at the Queensborough Performing Arts Complex. It was an intimate setting, a small crowd of approximately twenty people, gathered to enjoy a midday concert. The crowd was composed mostly of students, as well as, a few older patrons of the arts. I had never been in the theater at the Queensborough Performing Arts Complex before, even though I have been a student at the college for sometime. I was surprised at it’s size, considering it is located in the Humanities building.…
