Finally this image is clearly a open frame with a high angle, since the camera is looking down on the female; Along with an unbalanced

But it is all too often a mirage”(Gay) the beach isn’t always a place for everyone, and the expectations of the beach often leave people let down or disappointed.

It has transformed from a genuine piece of nature that was not thought of to be sacred, to a museum-like section of land that needs to constantly stress the importance of conservation and protection.

However, throughout all of the change, there is one aspect of wilderness that has remained intact. Wilderness serves as a place for people to escape; It is a getaway that allows humans to avoid reality and all the troubles that come with it.…

    The scene from the film On the Waterfront takes place inside the cargo hold of a cargo ship. A ship un-loader named Kayo Dugan has just been murdered and Father Barry has been called to say a prayer for Kayo. The scene is rich in the elements of Mise-en-scéne.

    I read Neil Gaiman’s The Ocean at the End of the Lane last year for Literature & Rhetoric II. However, to be honest, I definitely tired of reading Neil Gaiman works once we got to this novel. We had already read The Graveyard Book, a volume of The Sandman comics, and The Wolves in the Walls. It was one Gaiman work too many and, last year, I did not really enjoy it too much.…
