    The Graduate The sequence that I have chosen for analysis is the scene after the party and Dustin is moping in his room, until he puts his hand in the fish tank to pull out his keys.

The sound of the door is quite loud in the small space, making it much more intrusive than it might normally have been and possibly drawing a metaphor about her entry not just into his room but into his private life. Her voice is totally calm…

    Authenticity is supposed to have a moral and motivation to do the right thing. I often see authenticity as sometimes black and white but then again sometimes I see it as shades of grey throughout the situation. When I look at person and they have done wrong but yet something good came out of it I see it as shades of grey. Yes, they have done something wrong, but it came with a good outcome. Authenticity has diverse meanings and definitions but I think authenticity means having integrity, having…
