Guns 101 Video Analysis

Improved Essays
Guns 101 is filling with me more knowledge that I will utilize from now on. Video of the week, I really like the guys in the video.

This quote is trying to demonstrate how the closest object, feature of a landmark or town of Hadleyville is a tree, which goes to show how detached from society the setting of High Noon is. “His eyes made out the shadowy outlines of a palatial chateau: it was set on a high bluff, and on three sides of it cliffs dived down to where the sea licked greedy lips in the shadows,”(Connell 7).
