The silent film follows the tramp, who falls in love with a blind woman that believes he is a rich man,…

The films Open City and Winter Light display the intricacies of loyalty within personal and group relationships, both human and non-human. Open City tends to view loyalty as an honorable trait, while Winter Light takes a bleaker view, questioning loyalty’s very ability to exist. Not surprisingly, both films represent the prevailing attitudes of the times in which they were created. Open City, released in 1945, offers a view of Rome while it is being occupied by Germany at the end of World War…

poem, the speaker alludes to this secret while telling of his walks through the city. After analyzing the poem, one can see the hidden pain that the speaker copes with. Frost reveals the speaker’s suffering, similar to a depression, through the somber lines and dark tone. Meyer’s attempts to argue that the setting of the poem is “located in the speaker’s mind or soul” rather than the speaker physically walking through a city (Meyer 711). However, there is no clear evidence for this idea that can…

Lighting The lights are the first thing the audience experience in this piece, then comes sound and movement. From the begging the lighting design was unique in the since that there was emphasis on the curtains. There were lights shining directly on the wings drapes.

A perfect day is any day when I spend it with my older brother and older sister one of those days would be like this. I’m awoken at four AM to see their faces to be told we’re going to San Diego. On hearing this and seeing them I got out of bed ecstatically to get dressed quickly and jump into my sister’s car. After what felt like an eternity we finally arrived in San Diego as hungry as a bear. The three of us decide to eat breakfast and plan out the rest of the day while we eat. We all eat…

It’s a beautiful place, especially the outskirts of the city. It was a warm august day when we had first arrived, the warm hues of the leaves were vibrant with orange, brown, and reds, the sunset was basking everything in a soft, orange glow, setting a nice, tranquil atmosphere.

I watched mesmerized as we drove by monuments, giant…
