Picture a child sitting in front of a television watching the Wizard of Oz. To them‚ it is an assortment of magical beings‚ a land filled with wonderful places‚ with varieties of different colors. They do not picture it as something with far more meaning than just a plain fairytale. On the other hand‚ gender/feminist critics have been able to analyze the Wizard of Oz as well as Wicked‚ in order to find a more elaborate meaning behind the story itself. They have discussed what lies behind the

In auteur theory‚ a term originated by film critic Andrew Sarris in his essay‚ "Notes on the Auteur Theory"16‚ there is a desire to outline the personal vision of the director.

Textual Analysis of "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" 1.) Romantic Description: a. pg. 715 - "there is a little valley‚ or rather lap of land‚ among high hills‚ which is one of the quietest places in the whole world. A small brook glides through it‚ with just a murmur enough to lull one to repose; and the occasional whistle of a quail‚ or tapping of a woodpecker‚ is almost the only sound that ever breaks in upon the uniform tranquility." Irving describes nature as an untouchable force. He ignores

The Dark Knight (Costume) Christopher Nolan’s distinctive use of Joker’s costume is greatly significant to the narrative of “The Dark Knight”; it provides insight to the iconic super villain of “The Joker” and highlights how this portrayal is modernised in comparison to past ones‚ showing how the super villain role has changed in superhero films. As with Jokers in all media types Health Ledger keeps with classic green‚ orange and purple attire. This strong‚ bright colour use is used to contrast

Being in a room of people‚ I sometimes feel like fish out of water. Although the people around me may think I’m not as different‚ it’s probably because I have learned to hide it throughout the years. Maybe that is why I relate to the poem‚ “(Citizen) (Illegal)” by Jose Olivarez so much. I perceive the poem so much differently than when I first read it because I realized how much I relate to it and how it sort of lightly reflects my life and my perception of myself.
