Each of these scenarios are worlds apart, yet they relate back to one thing: ambition. Though not everyone may think about it so much, but in literature it is displayed…

Puzzled by the question, Wart gave it a guess and said he was from the Forest Sauvage, causing the other predatory birds to question his sanity. Luckily, Balan came to his rescue, Wart…

The overall aim of this essay is to compare the film Sin City with the classic style of film noir to see if there are any differences or similarities between them. The analysis focuses on four concepts that I believe are the most classic film-noir associations. Lighting, Femme fatale, a dark world and the protagonist. Already in the first scene a couple of things are established. The first scene is part of a side story that we only get to see in the beginning and again at the end of the film,…

The short story “Federigo's Falcon” by Giovanni Boccaccio and the poem “How Do I Love Thee” by Elizabeth Barrett Browning both develop the theme of love in their own ways. “Federigo's Falcon” develops the theme of love by telling the story of a man who gave up his most prized possessions twice for the woman he loves. “How Do I Love Thee” develops the theme of love by having the narrator detail how much they love their partner and by describing their unconditional love.

Please note that while the cover is simplistic, it is intended to be as such. The novel contains a multitude of vintage photographs which are both creepy and shrouded in mystery. This was the theme I tried to capture with this CD cover. Analysis: The first reason as to why I chose this song is that the music/beat is uplifting and almost innocent, in a sense. This is reflective of the fact that all of the main characters in the novel Hollow City by Ransom Riggs are children or teenagers, an…
