Twelfth Night Essay

Introduction This week digital field trip was a review of the artist Vincent Van Gogh. The painting of choice that was inspiring by Van Gogh is called The Starry Night painted in 1889. Content Vincent van Gogh painted Starry Night in 1889 during his stay at the asylum and used vivid colors for expression. Vincent painted this oil painting in France where it’s “plagued in the winter months by the mistral, strong winds that blow day after day out of the Alps down the Rhone River valley. The…

Van Gogh used all of the elements of art in “Starry Night”, but some call more attention to themselves than others. Line, for example is a prominent feature in this piece. Form, however must be searched for. See it? It’s hidden in the small houses tucked away under the night sky. I notice that color also dominates this piece, with strokes of blue littering the scene, with a beautiful contrast of yellow to represent stars. I see many organic shapes with the dark figure of the cypress tree, and…

My Little Country Side My special place is in Ravia, Oklahoma, it is a small abandon chicken farm in the middle of no where. It is my special place because I went there as a child, its secluded from other people, its absolutely breath taking at sun down, and I think other people should get to see the beauty of the country side. As a child I went down to this chicken farm in Ravia, Oklahoma, to ride my four-wheeler with my step father Ernest Gilbert and my little sister Ashley Gilbert. We would…

Inglourious Basterds is a critically acclaimed historical revenge fantasy movie that uses 1944 Nazi Germany to shed light on the biased American view of World War II, following the works of Friedlander and Rosenfield. The movie uses Nazi Germany as a setting, but unlike the mainstream and kitschy Nazi Germany movies, it rewrites the history of the end of World War II, therefore posing the question of “what if?” to the audience. The movie carefully causes the audience to question themselves and…

This paper will consider the philosophical question “Did the Nazi’s have Law?” by drawing off of H.L.A Hart’s conception of law. Hart, being a positivist, believes that law and morality are conceptually separate; law is simply what undergoes the judiciary installment and is enacted by the law-making agency of a society. He concludes that morality is a statement of values which are subjective, hence the reason they can’t be compared to the law which is a statement of facts. I shall argue that the…

Following the emotion Clark makes the audience feel, Clark writes,“commissioner Roger Goodell had to address the matter before the season’s first Monday Night Football game in Washington, saying, ‘ What is it we can do to try to ensure those hits don’t occur?’” (Clark 1) Here Clark is borrowing credibility.

Anyone with a heartbeat attends the games. To the Spartans and their fans, the football field is a sanctuary and the bleachers are its pews. The Spartans are worshiped. They were given the special treatment and, “during the season, each football player could eat once per week at Renfrow’s at no charge” (Grisham 62).…

In Yeon Sang-ho’s Train to Busan is the most purely entertaining zombie film, finding echoes of George Romero’s and Danny Boyle’s work, but delivering something unique for an era in which kindness to others seems more essential than ever. The titular mass transport vehicle serves as an apt and very literary setting for an exhilarating morality tale that pits humanity’s fragile virtues and delicate principles with a ferocious catastrophe. For decades, movies about the undead have essentially been…

Films throughout our history have been used to drive how we think. One film type that is genius at portraying these topics is science fiction. From this genre, there has emerged one film in particular that has and will continue to influence America’s behavior—V for Vendetta. Together, I will show how science fiction and V for Vendetta were strengthened in the technical aspect, how they have been influenced by American culture, and how, in turn, they have influenced American culture. Science…
