Cupping Student Debt In this cartoon, Joe Heller illustrates the feelings that every student has in relation to students loans. Heller’s purpose in this cartoon is to draw attention to the enormity and un-manageable amount of debt they acquire over the course of their college career. He uses a combination of wording, design and symbolism in order to effectively empathize with the struggle that every college student experiences, drawing the conclusion that college is too expensive, forcing students to go into debt. First, the wording of the dialogue help to support Heller’s point. The wording that first comes to the observer’s attention is the text inside the speech bubble. The student on the right is responding to the comment of his roommate. He is expressing his frustration through sarcasm, giving us the idea that he’d rather have the cupping marks as a result of being an athlete rather than being covered in the marks of student debt. Next, the observer will notice that the roommate’s comment is in the background. The roommate is obviously excited about the thought of his new “roomie” being a famous athlete like Michael Phelps. By putting the subject’s words in a speech bubble, the observer’s attention is first drawn to it, focusing on the frustration of the student in debt. The design also alludes to Heller’s stance that student debt is too much. The colors, sizing and expressions of the characters in the cartoon all bring attention to this. Looking…

Hawks was one of those classic Hollywood directors that could easily orchestrate the action and compelling aspects that make a great western, and Red River is one. The film…

There are exhalations and sighs at many points, as when the cocoon of the gypsy moth is taken from the throat of Bill's first victim. Much heavy breathing. There are subterranean rumblings and faraway cries and laments, almost too low to be heard, at critical points. There is the sound of a heart monitor. Howard Shore's mournful music sets a funereal tone. When the soundtrack wants to create terror, as when Clarice is in Bill's basement, it mixes her frightened panting with the sound of Bill's…
