A Different Scene

Family is the most complex thing in the world. The mere definition of family is different for all people. For some, it is flesh and blood. For others, it’s those who they feel at home with. Every family has different issues, but some are easier to deal with than others. In The Turning Tim Winton explores the complexities of families through multiple stories spanning over many years and with different narration. Max and Frank Lang are two brothers who are two brothers who are not able to get over…

well as encourage and motivate me. Even though in her time it was difficult to become a successful women who went to school she was able to become the first African American who won the Nobel Prize in Literature. She explained how everyone has a different story to make and tell; not everyone’s foot steps should be exactly the same. In her speech she said, “In short, the palm I was reading wasn’t yours, it was the splayed hand of my own generation and I know no generation has a complete…

As I take the time to reflect through my personal experience during this course I have came to a clear conclusion that there is now an understanding of what the term “adulthood aging” truly means. Through this course, it is without hesitation that I have gained an abundant amount of knowledge over the life cycle of an individual that prepares us when aging. Gaining this understanding has helped me answer the simple question of this paper: “What is aging?” As I take the time to put my thoughts…

“Some people want it to happen, some wish it would happen, others make it happen.” -Michael Jordan. That quote describes what I felt like after being in Chicago.Last February I was given the opportunity to attend the LEAD conference for Student Council. The LEAD conference is national Student Council leadership convention. The opportunity to go was an experience that I will never forget and an experience that changed my life. Going into this event, I thought it would just be some seminars…

permeated the kitchen. It was soothing and pleasant. An equal number of males and females performed the same job. He wasn't sure, but maybe this had something to do with greater harmony. Slinger was the one and only pots and pans guy. He was a little different than the other servers and was isolated at the pot sink. There was not a big future in being a pot washer, but Slinger had a secret skill. He liked to weld. This may have been something he learned in his home country nobody knew. Slinger's…

thoughts and ideas. This is where Miller poses a question: what might the literate arts be said to be good for? Can they actually cause a real positive difference in the world, or are they just there so authors can make loads of money? He examines four different texts to answer this question, but he is not the only one who has pondered this idea. Both Miller and Freire have…

Ivan you were such an angel. You peed in bed until you were 8 years old, that hilarious. Life was so easy for you and fun. You lived out in the country, where you loved it the most. Cowboys, horses, cows, western boots, you fell in love with it all didn’t you? You wish you hadn’t left Texas for Oklahoma. Life was so much funner in Texas you thought. BUt you didn’t know that your parents had to start a new life in Oklahoma because of financial insecurities for the Mares family. They needed to…

indifference, but other times they stare, try to interact with him, see him as a performer. We are not the only seers in the film, the people in it are voyeurs of something they do and see everyday (walking), but the fact that the monk’s walking is at a different temporality breaks the sensory motor link and affects us: makes us think the unthought. The ceremonialization of the body is at the same time the genesis of a new body (an unknown body); it is the birth of something visible which was…

In Django, the film displays the law enforcement’s failure to enforce any moral or lawful act early in the film and this scene sets the tone for the rest of the film. The scene begins right after Shultz rescues Django and they arrive in Daughterly, Texas. Shultz kills the sheriff of the county in the street. Afterwards, the marshal and the militia of the town come to the bar in order to arrest and/or kill Shultz and Django if they resist. Instead, Shultz proves that he is beyond the law and…

artfully combining clips, angles, and points of view to give a scene an identity is far from easy. Varied filming techniques throughout a movie are important so as not to generate feelings of boredom and simplicity (unless this is the goal). In addition, attempting to use a huge amount of vastly different methods can crowd a movie and give a sense of overwhelming confusion. As with any other job on set, cinematographers work…
