Westerns
Words: 357 - Pages: 2.... radically. People now became "factory
workers," clocking in and leaving their brains at the door. The glamour offered
by these stories gave the majority of people a short escape from the everyday
"grind." People were able to ride off into the sunset for a few hours becoming a
rugged individual who makes a difference as opposed to the faceless body that
may turn one screw hour after hour. Storylines variety was endless for the
west's story tellers. Any story could be written and placed as a western. The
love interest, hated villian and old enemy all fit in a western. If a writer did
not want to take the time to develop an enemy, one was re .....

The Last Wave
Words: 726 - Pages: 3.... symbols or visual communication such
as the consistency of water in the film as well as, the overbearing control of
darkness. The film is shot in shadows and overall is very dark , almost forcing
us to look beyond the obvious plot and storyline and into the meaning or what
the film/director is trying to tell us. The darkness in the film can be seen as
unconsciousness. It can also be seen as a prediction of the darkness that will

Oedipus Rex: The Punishment Of The King
Words: 1163 - Pages: 5.... only option. Death,
in my mind, is not valid simply because of what it might do to the
kingdom's people. Even though it seems that Oedipus has not been a
particularly good monarch, in fact his only major accomplishment seems to
be killing the Sphinx all those years ago, having a king put to death could
have serious repercussions on the rest of the kingdom. So in the end, the
only way to cure the plague and keep the kingdom stable seems to be the
banishment of Oedipus. In this case, the question of whether or not he
deserved to be punished seems irrelevant; Oedipus' only goal was to stop
the plague and by leaving, he has accomplished that g .....

Cartoons: Land Of Imagination
Words: 1130 - Pages: 5.... Everything falls faster than
an anvil. 10. For every vengeance there is an equal and opposite revengeance.

the cartoon world, "anything goes." There are no boundaries to which one is
confined. With a little .....

Hamlet: A Review
Words: 403 - Pages: 2.... anyhow,
a fratricide is a disgusting crime. Coupled with a sexual relationship that
by the ethics of the time was considered as incest. But worst of all: it is
a regicide, which to an Elizabethan was outright sacrilege.
Though Hamlet is fully aware that it is his task to clear things up,
he keeps on procrasti nating and has got many excuses for not acting.
The explanations are valid, and the only peculiar fact is that
Hamlet has got so many reasons for waiting - a different one each time.
Furthermore, it is characteristic in Hamlet that he only receives problems
