One apparent aspect of the ritual of banning together against catastrophes is that it not only draws the group together physically, but it also has a tendency to bond them emotionally. A community joins together when there is a threat to disrupt the peace and comfort that a group setting provides.

Analysis Of Chris Marker's "La Jetee", And Roland Barthes's "Camera Lucida"
Words: 5041 - Pages: 19.... idea Barthes addresses in his novel I can find addressed in La
Jetee. Because of this fact, and because of the power of both works, I was
led at the end of my research to some new, yet fundamental ideas about the
nature of photography itself.
One of the most interesting aspects of this study, and also the
most challenging, is the nature of Marker's “film” itself. Simply the fact
that I have to put the word film in quotes when applying it to La Jetee is
perhaps the strongest evidence of the enigma that this film has been
throughout its history. What exactly is la Jetee? This is a question that
haunted my research. How do you take a .....

Words: 348 - Pages: 2.... out. I am very responsible and I can be counted on to do errands around the house. I am very proud of my good traits; I try to show them as much as possible.
Unfortunately I am not as proud of my evil traits. I am a very sarcastic person. My sense of humor does not always make people laugh. At times I can also have an attitude. If you catch me at the wrong moment, beware! When I am extremely tired and overwhelmed, I get frustrated and take my anger out on the people around me. When I feel repressed I often have a bad temper. Sometimes at my job I feel overworked and exhausted, and I have no patients with customers. I try not to s .....

The Old Man And The Sea: Santiago A Hero?
Words: 399 - Pages: 2.... I feel Santiago was portrayed as a hero successfully
in the book The Old Man and the Sea was because even though when he came in
to the harbor only with a skeleton of the largest fish he had ever seen,
the town still was filled with respect and honor for him because of the
fact that he was a feeble old fisherman that no one would ever expected to
have been able to catch such a fish as he did, skeleton or not. here is an
example of Santiago's determination, for which the people of the town
respected him for, “he took all of is pain and what was left of his
strength and his long gone pride and he put it against the fishes agony and

Lord Of The Flies - Character

When the boys land on the island they are all wearing their school uniforms, but Jack and his choir are wearing cloaks and caps. Oddly enough, Jack is one of the only boys whose last name is learned. I think the author does this to make Jack stand out. He is a very important character because throughout this whole novel, Golding depicts this island and savagery to everyday life. Jack is the perfect character to play this role due to his temperament and power hungry acts. Jack is solely concerned with hunting, and cannot see the necessity of other t .....
