The first was the mind-to-muscle relaxation technique: Meditation. I’ve tried this in the past for a few months and I did not like to do this with other people around. I found it hard to concentrate on my breathing while hearing other people’s meditation cues. So I thought I’d give it another try. When…

My mise-en scene of Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice is an analogy adaptation based on the events of Chapter 54. The setting occurs on a street of New York apartments on a cloudy, gloomy day.

The film that I have chosen to analyze is Lessons of Darkness by Werner Herzog. I chose this film because I really enjoy Herzog’s film style, and I also enjoy how he uses specific shots and scenes to portray how he is against the gruesome nature of war and attacks.

28/60  47%  E BAZ LUHRMANN ESSAY A real, emotional, moral story is one which tugs on the strings of the viewer’s heart. It should bring out the emotions of the viewer, and have those asking morally challenging questions. It must feel real, it must excite and enthrall its audience, and create a passion for the film from the opening scene.

Before entering Harding University’s DPT program, I had been warned time and time again of the rigorous, even torturous, workload physical therapy school required. Although I knew of the challenge I was about to face, even dreamed about it, I did not fully understand the immensity until beginning my first semester as a DPT student. At first I wanted to know everything and would spend an hour on a single topic trying to memorize every tiny detail. It did not take me long to realize that there…

Steinbeck uses many literary techniques in the novella ‘Of Mice and Men’. An example of a commonly used technique is the use of foreshadowing where he uses different scenes to hint or create an idea of a character's involvement in the future of the story. One character that Steinbeck constantly foreshadows is Lennie Small who is a tall, childlike man with an intellectual disability. He creates different scenes to paint a picture of Lennie’s future and the troubles to come. Using these three…
