    In all aspects of society, various themes that affect everyone in life exist. These themes include love, heartbreak, beauty, death, joy, and others. Literature often embodies these examples in ways that the audience can relate to, no matter the time period it is published in.

Two poems, “My Mistress’ Eyes Are Nothing Like the Sun” and “Death, Be Not Proud,” are sonnets, with fourteen lines and a form of rhyming scheme known as iambic pentameter.…

    Joseph Sargent’s 1974 crime/drama/thriller film, The Taking of Pelham One Two Three, centers on a heist of a New York subway cart and the race against time to catch the culprits and save the hostages. The dramatic aspect is embedded within the development of the colorful, diverse characters and their dissimilar reactions towards the crime situation. These character’s different personalities as well as their different agendas almost hinder the narrative of the film, but diegetic elements stop that from happening. In fact, the setting, especially the subway and the props, is representative of the way in which the characters want to be seen as. The costume definitely propels the narrative because the four criminals, Mr. Blue, Mr. Brown, Mr. Gray, and Mr. Green, not only rely on their disguises to conceal their identities, but they also use them to interact with each other.…

In birth one is not truly conscious; in marriage one has a partner, even death is faced with a life’s experience by one’s side,” said David Van Biema in.
