    Jake Barnes in The Sun Also Rises by Ernest Hemingway is an American veteran of World War I who lives and works in Paris as a newsman. Jake Barnes is the typical Hemingway Code Hero in this novel‚ but he does fail to meet certain aspects of the code. First‚ he is not a man in the traditional sense of the word. Due to a wound in WWI‚ he is essentially sexless. The Hemingway code hero indulges in all aspects of the word pleasure‚ mainly those of alcohol and women. Second‚ he breaks the Hemingway code

    The article “The British PoW who broke into Auschwitz – and survived” by Jake Wallis Simons‚ in my opinion‚ was underwhelming and did not quite do justice to the actions taken by Denis Avery. The issue I had with the article was the lack of detail in various parts of the story. For example‚ while Simons goes into extensive detail about Avery’s personality and actions to get into Auschwitz‚ he glosses over other parts‚ like the information that Avery received in the camp. Only a couple short paragraphs

The poem says‚ “I take each turn‚ hill‚ and valley that comes my way” (5) and “I have teammates that run by my side” (9) in order to convey the reality of running in a race.

    this love-story portrays the romance between Heath Ledger (Ennis Del Mar) and Jake Gyllenhaal (Jack Twist). Throughout the movie Heath Ledgers friend-turned lover‚ Texas Rodeo Cowboy Jake Gyllenhaal portrayed the romance 100% better than that of Heath Ledger. Being obligated to sit through the 2 ¼ hours of the $6.30 movie I paid for‚ I’ve discovered that in the future I will certainly question the sexuality of Jake Gyllenhaal. It seems like Hollywood’s agenda is to portray Homosexuality as okay in

    Jake Gyllenhaal‚ however‚ is more than qualified to do this. It doesn’t take much research of Licklider to realize how (for lack of a better word) odd he was. Licklider mostly kept to himself‚ unless it involved his work. He had few close friends‚ and was considered to be incredibly socially awkward. All of these characteristics I see in many of the characters Gyllenhaal has portrayed. In Nightcrawler‚ Gyllenhaal portrayed a psychotic criminal photographer

    including Se7en‚ Fight Club‚ The Social Network and The Girl With A Dragon Tattoo. All of those films in my opinion are cult classics. Without a doubt David Fincher is a great director The film stars big named actors like Robert Downey Jr‚ Jake Gyllenhaal and Mark Ruffalo. These 3 big names is a reason in its self to watch The Zodiac. Many movies fail to draw excitement to a movie solely based on not having enough big names. The story though‚ is the biggest draw for this particular film.
