    Christine Daae's Adaptation Of Phantom Of The Opera

    Phantom of the Opera had several adaptations including the 2004 film with the same title starring Gerard Butler as Erik. Christine Daae in the movie was a struggling opera singer and was only given a break after Carlotta quitted (or just showing tantrums) and since then her career launched followed by the abduction of the Phantom. In the movie the romance of between two childhood friends occurred after Christine became a star and that Raoul saw her and remembered her. In the book the Viscount was already in love with her but she seemed distant which made him sad and jealous; to his brother’s dismay (in the movie, Raoul didn’t have a brother or was not emphasized).…

    Erik Fisher Film Analysis

    TANGERINE DIORAMA THE ERIK FISHER FOOTBALL Maryem Bouatlaoui 6A For my diorama project, I used the scene where Erik Fisher, the antagonist, flips over, thinking that he was going to make a field goal. It turns out, Antoine Thomas, the protagonist, took the ball and made a two-point conversion instead. I believe that this was the scene that foreshadowed the Erik Fisher Football Dream's upcoming failure.…

    A Servant Of Two Masters Analysis

    On November 22nd , 2015 , I had attended a play “A servant of Two masters” that played downtown Pittsburgh at the O’Reilly theater, the play was directed by Ted Pappas. He had put together a creative and intriguing play, having actors stay spontaneous and interact with the audience, therefore no parts would be found boring nor dry. All the actors had held up their end of their roles quite well, by fully disguising themselves as that character they were suppose to be during the entire play. In the play “A Servant of Two masters” is about a girl Clarice who originally had an arranged marriage but was called off due to her fiancé death, who was Federigo Rasponi of Turin.…

    Italian Nonna Marriage Quotes

    Katia, a stubborn and judgemental, albeit protective and loving, Italian Nonna, is displayed as a strong woman who acts as the matriarch of the Alibrandi family. The subplot of the text reveals the traumatic past she had with Marcus Stanford. Katia endures the adversity of being a proxy bride and a ‘farm animal’ to a heartless and brutal husband who did not respect or love her, often leaving her alone for excessive amounts of time. Through these extensive periods she matured into a self-sufficient and independent young woman, but also felt compelled to commit adultery, to escape the loneliness. The birth of her illegitimate daughter Christina, a result of the affair, proved an issue for Katia because her husband immediately knew that it wasn't…

    Michelle Alexander The New Jim Crow Analysis

    Welcome to America: Home of the Oppressed Many people in society today believe one can excel in life simply because of the color of their skin. While some people, whites, excel in life, there are is an opposite group who are suppressed, blacks. Since the beginning of American history, white individuals have suppressed the black race by slavery, segregation, and even mass incarceration. Even though the addition of the Civil Rights amendments guaranteed equal rights for blacks in the United States, a new method of racial segregation in the United States exists. The author of The New Jim Crow, Michelle Alexander, believes blacks are still suppressed in today’s society.…

    Michelle Alexander The New Jim Crow Analysis

    In The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness by Michelle Alexander, which delves into the issue of racism in America or how she describes it as the “racial caste system”; there seems to be a distinct amount of similarities between present time and the past. Americans tend to want to believe that times have changes and they have all progress and done better. Though in some instances that might be true, in reality Americans are simply making excuses in order to rationalize their bias towards not only blacks but minorities as well. I do believe that there is a “New Jim Crow” in America but we seem to be ignoring the topic because it makes us uncomfortable. I believe that we want to think that we have learned from our past…

    Film Analysis: Audrie And Daisy

    In the confronting documentary, Audrie & Daisy, film makers Bonni Cohn and Jon Shenk depict a completely biased and illusory stance on the aftermath of two teenage sexual assault victims. A range of conventions are expertly used, positioning the viewers to believe that the government and social media have, to an extent, influenced the victimization of Daisy Coleman, and the tragic suicide of Audrie Pott. Through the perpetuation of socio-cultural values and stereotypes inherent in American high schools, the employment of certain film techniques, specifically special effects, and a discerning use of language choices through editing, Cohn and Shenk have carefully manipulated the audience to sympathize and agree with their views regarding the…

    Susan Alexander Reaction

    After re-watching the scene where they introduce Susan Alexander at the El Rancho Club I noticed the complex transition shot and camera movement more clearly. First, right before they introduced Susan, they filmed the stormy weather and lightening outside. This could be foreshadowing the hardship with Ms. Alexander in the future. Also when the camera moves seamlessly into the building, it stops looking down to Susan Alexander. I think that Orson Welles wanted the audience to view her as weak, pitiful, and sad.…

    In College Inc., Frontline presents an informative, surprising, yet at times tedious documentary. The documentary provides the background in for-profit schools, while interweaving Michael Clifford’s motives towards reforming, and helping other for-profit schools maintain a sustainable income to succeed. College Inc. conveys information regarding their enrollment tactics, their unfulfilled promises of training, and the debt that accumulates with enrolling in these schools. Frontline successfully depicts the deceiving aspects about for-profit schools, and how their motives revolve around collecting the most money sufficiently. The personal experiences of people who were enrolled in for-profit schools are engaging, and allow the audience to understand…

    Othello Movie Analysis

    Casting Othello, The Movie Casting actors for a film version of Shakespeare’s Othello could become a challenging task. Shakespeare’s play complexity and long speeches present a difficult undertaking even for the most talented and skilled individuals in today’s film industry pool of actors. Therefore, we most carefully exam the play’s characters and search for candidates that can be paired, not only to the physical attributes of the character, but more importantly to the complexity in language, speech, and performance required for the part. A group of actors that could possibly perform the parts of Othello, Desdemona, and Iago might be Denzel Washington, Amy Adams, and Russell Crowe respectively. Each actor possesses the attributes and skills to perform at the required complexity, speech, and performance level.…

    Similarities Between Othello And Anowa

    The plays Anowa by Ama Ata Aidoo and Othello by William Shakespeare share many similarities depicting the main female characters, Anowa and Desdemona.

Both women struggle with the love and control of an overbearing parent that they wish to escape. In the end, both women face a depressing and harsh fate because they undermined their parent’s best intentions. One thing that young women can take away from both plays is, even though parents come off controlling they have one’s best interest at heart.…

    Comparing Desdemona And Cordelia In Shakespeare's Othello

    Shakespeare is known for his plethora of ingenious plays, however some of his best characters are the women in his plays. They are not carbon copies of each other and they have their own faults and virtues. The women in his plays can be either very typical women of the time or like Desdemona and Cordelia, be very forward-thinking women. Critics cannot look at these two characters and not have something to say about how these women act or how they do not act. These two are some of this author’s most favorite women in all of Shakespeare’s plays.…
