How Do We Evaluate Art?
Words: 555 - Pages: 3.... is: learning experience, sexual experience, entertaining experience
or love experience. Experience is based on a person's life. Does that mean an
older human has greater personal experience? Theoretically, it is. We see that
we usually find an adult's suggestion is much more ideal than a child's. When
we are judging with our experience, we are actually doing comparison. We are
asking ourselves several questions. Is it better than what I had seen before?
Is it creative? Can it be better? Is it professional?
However, not all of our experience is good. There are bad memories.
Our judgement is therefore wrong. Thus .....

Pygmalion: Higgins' Philosophy
Words: 715 - Pages: 3.... Pearce, and his mother. His manner
is the same to each of them, in accordance to his philosophy. However the
Higgins we see at the parties and in good times with Pickering is well
mannered. This apparent discrepancy between Higgins' actions and his word,
may not exist, depending on the interpretation of this theory.
There are two possible translations of Higgins' philosophy. It can
be viewed as treating everyone the same all of the time or treating
everyone equally at a particular time.
It is obvious that Higgins does not treat everyone equally all of
the time, as witnessed by his actions when he is in "one of his sta .....

Julius Caesar
Words: 742 - Pages: 3.... L157) Cassius goes out of his way to tell Brutus of Caesar’s weaknesses and faults. He eagerly plays upon Brutus’ words as they come from his mouth. Cassius proved himself manipulative in getting Brutus to join the conspiracy.
Decius manipulates Caesar’s thinking into leaving the safety of his home. Each reason Caesar brought up to stay in his home, Decius gave him an explanation in which he should forget them and go to the capitol. Primarily, Caesar’s reason was his wife, Calphurnia, whom had “dreamt...she saw [his] statue...which[ran] like a fountain with...pure blood.” (a2 s2 L78) Decius quickly replied by analyzing he .....

A Streetcar Named Desire
Words: 781 - Pages: 3.... her unstable thinking she has come to believe the things she imagines. Her flashy sense of style and imagination hide the truly tragic story about her past. Blanche lost Belle Reve but, moreover, she lost the ones she loved in the battle. The horror lied not only in the many funerals but also in the silence and the constant mourning after. One cant imagine how it must feel to lose the ones they love and hold dear but to stay afterwards and mourn the loss of the many is unbearable. Blanche has had a streak of horrible luck. Her husband killing himself after she exposed her knowledge about his homosexuality, her advances on young men .....

King Arthur And The Knights Of The Round Table: An Epic Hero For Modern Times
Words: 607 - Pages: 3.... assault on Lancelot to defend Camelot and all of
England from Mordred. Because Camelot seems to immediately precede Morte
d' Arthur and there is no overlap in the story, the way the plot is handled
in each work cannot be debated. I will however, discuss the mood, tone,
and characterization of a few key figures in the two works.
One difference in character that I found was that in the
introduction to Morte d' Arthur, Mordred is referred to as King Arthurs
nephew. Later in the text, when Arthur and Mordred are fighting (p. 96,
para.1) it says, ". . . so he smote his father King Arthur with his sword
holden in both hands, upon the side of .....

A Comparison Of Tragedy In English Works
Words: 838 - Pages: 4.... figure over Rome
and how Caesar controls Rome. Notice the good in Brutus, and the extremes he
will go to in order to protect democracy in Rome even if it means killing the
one he loves, Caesar. Brutus possesses one of the most tragic flaws. He is too
nice of a person and therefore he gets taken advantage of. He lets Cassius
persuade him into killing Caesar for the good of Rome. Because he does for
others more than himself he makes a fatal mistake, he lets Antony live. Brutus
says to the conspirators, "For Antony is but a limb of Caesar"(Act II scene I
line 165) meaning that if Caesar is killed Antony will die off too. Brutus

Predestined Fate Of Oedipus
Words: 1151 - Pages: 5.... mother. With this in mind they tried to have Oedipus killed to avoid
this horrible fate. However they couldn't kill him themselves because murder of
their own son would get the gods angry all over again. So they tried to get some
one to take Oedipus out to the mountains and let him die of natural causes. Some
people might argue that they are still indirectly responsible for the death but
apparently the Greeks only considered it bad if you were directly responsible
for the act of murder. The problem is that this person never left Oedipus on the
mountains as he was instructed to and therefore Oedipus never died. So Iocaste

Movie Analysis: Species And Species II
Words: 389 - Pages: 2.... looks like a real city, but it was shot in the country of
Montana. (Country meaning no cities, not a whole new country.) The camera
panning and zooming is very good, and the sound effects are right on cue.
Species set the standard for movies like SPECIES II, and it is a
really good movie. It actually gets funny, and except for one guy, the
acting is very well done. The only problem is that somewhere in the
Chicago city (where it was supposed to be based) they found a cave,
complete with stalectytes. It also contained a pool of acid, that caught
on fire for no reason. Other than that, this was one of the best movies
I've ever, .....
