Being a fan of comedic movies, it is tough to pick just one as my favorite. When it comes down to it, though, I would have to pick the one that I find the most hilarious: The Other Guys. This movie could be watched countless times and still be funny. The Other Guys really represents the type of humor that I like being as it is more of a goofy, immature type of comedy. One reason why I find this movie so amusing is because of the actors that were cast to carry out the story line. The two main characters are played by my favorite actors, Mark Wahlberg and Will Ferrell. On their own the actors are both very funny, so putting them together made for some even better jokes and more laughs. Along with them, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson also made random appearances in the movie. Anyone that likes those three actors would definitely enjoy the movie. The way Wahlberg, Ferrell, and “The Rock” portray their characters with such great enthusiasm and chemistry between each other really sets the mood for a remarkable comedy. Both Mark Wahlberg and “The Rock” usually tend to play more serious characters in the other movies they star in, so it is nice being able to see their comedic side. The next reason The Other Guys is my favorite movie is because of the story line. In the movie, Will Farrell plays a detective named Allen Gamble and Mark Wahlberg plays another detective by the name of Terry Hoitz. Together they go on a series of goofy missions and adventures. Everything they do never…

sometimes people perform Main Street ideas and actions, but the character is overall white collar focused. In The Big Short by Adam McKay, the antagonist and protagonists are both white collar, but one of the four protagonists has blue collar morals. In this movie, the four protagonists attempt to profit off of the big banks because the banks gave out too many subprime mortgages to people who couldn’t pay it back. Mark Baum (Steve Carell) illustrates his blue collar morals by not agreeing to…

Once again, Salinger wasn’t oblivious to the meanings behind each character’s name. In fact, symbolism plays a part in the character Sybil Carpenter. “Sybil, bright with innocence but already tarnishing, symbolizes for Seymour the human condition: like the sibyls of old, she is the unconscious oracle through whom the prophecy is revealed, the instrument of truth” (Lane). A sibyl is defined as “a woman in ancient times supposed to utter the oracles and prophecies of a god” (“sibyl”). It is…

completely. “When asked who and what it was, it gave different identities. It once stated that it was the witch of a neighbor woman named Kate Batts.” She used to come out, so the people gave it a name from one of it’s identities “Kate the Bell Witch”. It seemed that Kate had two main reasons for visiting the Bell home. The main one was to kill John Bell. For what reason no one knows because Kate never gave a reason why. The other reason was to stop john’s daughter from marrying a certain boy…

footprints, no boats, no people. We’re on an uninhabited island with no other people” (Golding, 30-31). Just like how the boys were the first on the island, Adam and Eve were the first people in the garden and on Earth. Before Adam and Eve were planted in the garden it was an untouched area where nothing could go wrong, but once Adam and Eve came, it no longer had its “untouched beauty”. Once the boys arrive on the island its “untouched beauty” it once had fades away. Finally, in both the novel…

The story of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden is one of the oldest and best known in the West. The power that this story has comes not just from the Bible, but also from its depiction of evil, of people 's impulses, and of its presentiation of temptation. In the Bible the Garden of Eden is described as perfect. Because the serpent tempted Eve to want to be more perfect, humans fell and became imperfect. This story is now often used in modern advertising, which also promises improvements in…

The Realistic Creation Story Growing up going to a Catholic school, and being a very religious person I have studied, and read The Bible, I have gone as far as tattooing Psalm 23:4 on my body. So, you could say that I have a personal connection to what is written in The Bible. Saying that, from as young as I can remember to my age now, the creation story in Genesis has been a story that is repeated often, but the creation story has always confused me a great deal. The reason being, is due to…
