A Little More Pleasure, A Little Less Sorrow The design choices for this project reveal a bittersweet symbol of chocolate in The Outsiders. Since all three Curtis boys cherish chocolate cake for breakfast only after the passing of their parents, it is reflected that they are attempting to cope with feelings of grief; it is their way of mourning. They try to view it as a positive aspect- if their parents are gone, they can consume as many slices of cake that they desire.

The cover of Dark Places shows a woman lying in the fetal position in a dark room, with a cross on her wrist. Readers can infer that the woman on the cover is the main character, Libby, as her physical appearance is described as being similar to that of the woman on the front of the novel. The dark room in which Libby lies is symbolic for the depressing thoughts in her head, as she has endured extreme obstacles, including the death of her family. In the novel, Libby calls her thoughts about the night her family was killed “dark places,” as she chooses to avoid thinking about it. However, the cross on her wrist shows that despite the terrible situation she has encountered, there is still hope that she can overcome her traumatization and live…
Do you ever feel like you are not getting the "full" experience in life that you should be? Have you tried eating adventurous foods or going to exotic places in an attempt to live your life to the "best it can be"? This summer I went to the Caribbean, and when I arrived, I was expecting to see pristine stretches of sand and cobalt blue vistas, like in postcards. Instead, however, I found grumpy, burnt sunbathers, hyper dogs, and obnoxious children blocking my view. There is a great difference between someone who is simple versus someone who is complex.…

Here I think it is necessary to compare the two films from the prewar and postwar period, Shadow of a Doubt and The Man Who Knew Too Much where the mother figure symbolize both the household and the image of America. At the same time “These two Hitchcock films show clearly how the domestic ideology that is evoked to counter the fear of the maternal desire for independence ends up evoking the thing it fears” (Michie 30). For a brief moment, the maternal figures in both films refuse to be vehicles for idealized fantasies about family, and instead articulate their own desires, that could threaten the domestic ideals they are supposed to convey. The veiled desires of an American wife and mother are exposed early in the narrative when Hank accidently…
There is no Spoon The debate between idealism and materialism is an interesting aspect of philosophy and this debate has been visualised in many movies such as The Wachowski Brothers’ The Matrix (1999). The movie questions reality and an argument that can be identified from the movie is that the mind is the only thing that exists; the body and all things material, are illusions of the mind and therefore their existence can be questioned.…
