it be stated that The 400 Blows changed the lives of many‚ my own included. It is for the French youths what On the Road was for the jazz-crazed beatniks — a definitive bible of sorts. One shouldn’t expect a bildungsroman arc from the works of Truffaut. If anything‚ this film is more of an anti-narrative. It is a film about a juvenile delinquent named Antoine Doinel; it is a film about you; it is a film about anyone and no one in particular. Released in 1959‚ The 400 Blows defied the traditional filmmaking

Tomson Highway’s "Kiss of the Fur Queen" is my favorite of what we have read so far. Vulgarity‚ creativity and abstract language are some of my favorite characteristics in writing. One of the things that surprised me about Highway’s novel‚ which I do not want to say in class for fear that it is a false reaction to this piece‚ is his lack of abhorrence towards the priests in the Res School. It seems as though he almost appreciates what they have done for him. Granted‚ Jeremiah was given a chance to

Things and People are not always as they appear to be on the first sight that is why we have to examine them in different ways otherwise they may mislead us. That is more then true in the short story “The Kiss” by Kate Chopin in which she uses imagery‚ irony and simile to show us how deceitful a person can be. She tells us by the actions of her characters that a person should not be judged solely by his or her appearance or words because those things can be dangerously misleading. All of the characters
