Scene: When the Joker crashes Harvey Dent’s fundraiser and targets Rachael Dawes because no one knows where Harvey is. The 360 degree turn of the camera emphasizes Rachel’s struggle to over power the Joker and his struggle to maintain it. The Joker has his knife at Rachel 's mouth to not only show his dominance to her but to how that while he looks silly dressed like a clown, he is serious. While he knows that the rich guests are not scared of him, a criminal, he does not try to instill the same fear into them as he is Rachel. However, she is not the only one to speak out against him as another man had done so less than a minute before. Yet, she is the only woman to not show fear. This is when the Joker realizes that her confidence does not come from her being outspoken but from knowing that she will be protected. The struggle is not actually intended to be between physical Rachel and the Joker, but rather the person who the Joker knows will protect her, Batman. The 360 degree turn is also one of the longest shots in the scene, adding to the amount of tension that the turn of the camera is creating. The viewers know that Bruce Wayne is Batman, and because the party is being hosted by Mr. Wayne is it expected that Batman will save Rachel before anything happens to her. However, because the Joker has enough time to torment the guests, and threaten Rachel, the tension in the scene increases as viewers begin to question where is Batman? Will he save Rachel in time? Why is he…

The Dark Knight is an engrossing tragedy film that leaps beyond its origins. Batman is not the comic character, that you spent many nights reading his comic book anymore. Because of the amazing performances, the writing, the direction, and the technical quality of the entire production, this movie created characters we come to care about. By putting all the right elements in play, this movie had given the character of Batman a literary merit. This movie is not simply present the good and evil…

back home were the best. Colors mixed perfectly in the golden rays of the sunlight. The rainbow in my tank was the complete opposite. It had a glare from my warm yellow tank light and the colors were all wrong. As for the house Jeff had given me, I’d say it’s okay. It was this little house positioned on a fake tree stump with fake leaves on the top. To the giants outside of my tank it looked perfect and real, but from my point of view it was wretched and fake. I snap out of my little day dream…

Her steps were slow and cautious. Her breaths were small and shallow, but her heart could be heard by anyone standing at least a few meters away. She had been waiting perpetually. Had been plotting, planning; and agonizing. She was already well aware of the consequence her actions would lead to, but after the event that had been weighing on her shoulders for years on end, the few seconds of relief that she would finally have after the deed was done would be all worth it. Her grip tightened…

It is in that way - forehead to forehead, hips aligned instinctively, heaving chests and groans of hunger and desire - that I crash and fall, everything I know up to that moment falling away from me while he races to his end just after me. He presses his face into her shoulder and crumbles as our bodies offer up shudder after shudder of release until all that remains is a quivering suspension of movement and then silence. I run my fingers through his damp curls, the smell of sweat mingling with…

the bloody scene. Both girls lay placid, sprawled on the cold, hard walkway. I picked myself up. All eyes glare upon me. I had not realized the repercussions of my actions. The group of people all seemed to be encouraging the one which I tackled. Each and every person cut me with their gaze. This spectacle continued for a minute or so until I decided to take drastic action. I whipped out my gun and pointed it into the air. The scene was hectic. An extreme frenzy to get a far away from me as…

Diagnosing correctly is important for treatment to be fully effective. Common disease are carpal tunnel syndrome, osteoarthritis, and ganglion cysts. “Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a condition where the median nerve is compressed where it passes through a short tunnel at the wrist” (The British Society for Surgery of the Hand). It has been found more in women than in men causing a weakness when gripping, a tingling or numbness in fingers and pain. When carpal tunnel syndrome is suspected the…

When conducting the experiment the distance that the testers fingers were apart before catching should’ve been consistent at approximately 8cm apart to ensure a fair test. Another way that we could’ve seen the difference in reaction time would’ve been to test the dominant hand as it would have allowed us to compare another set of results. Conclusion: To conclude, through this experiment we have proved that auditory stimulus is faster than visual stimulus. This is because overall the results…

Evolution of the Bony Projection on Ailurus fulgens Melanie Brown Dixie State University Author Note: This paper was prepared for Evolution 3010, class instructed by Dr. Curtis Walker Throughout the evolution of the hand, most commonly found in primates, advantages of a thumb have led to the improvement of activities such as gripping and squeezing. Over time, few species developed full capabilities and usage of the thumb. Some species developed slightly while others did not develop it…
