Critics of Bernie have struggled to classify the movie, and viewers would certainly attest to this statement. The movie is placed in the satire genre, but this does not seem necessarily complete. The film is well made and the level that it grips the watcher is almost disturbing. Although the film begins with an unusual opening of a jolly and flamboyant mortician conducting a procedure on a corpse for a guest lecture, Bernie morphs into a dark irony. As he prepares the dead for burial, he explains his ideology behind his work. He addresses and disclaims the frequent questioning of people asking him why he would ever wish to be a mortician. “Their souls are already with the Lord by the time I’m involved. It’s just my way to serve—to take care of [their funeral] and care for all their loved ones” (Shepherd Project). To sum up, Bernie states that he takes comfort in performing one last service to the deceased by giving their personage a respectful and beautiful viewing as their souls pass on. Located in Longview, Texas, this movie seems to accurately portray the characters of East Texas and to agree with the common view of the county. This production addresses some of the social issues, society and stereotypes, and perspective of East Texas. Bernie proves to be a dark juxtaposition and singular comedy. Interestingly, the scriptwriters paint the protagonist Bernie in a twisted situation of both that of a victim and murderer. Simultaneously, the directors play on the viewers’…

Good evening and welcome to all the parents, relatives and friends who have made this day possible for the Thornapple Kellogg High School graduating class of 2006. I would also like to thank this year’s graduates for the honor and privilege of speaking at their commencement. To be a part of such an important night in your lives is indeed a very special moment for me. Graduation marks the end of one part of your life and the beginning of unlimited possibilities. This is the moment when you…

The Moore name was hard to live up too, they were well known as well as loved but Charlie the last generation of the men was the son his family never wanted. Charlie Moore’s father passed away about five years ago during his senior year of high school, leaving him with all the money in the world, his family's million dollar hotel, and some broken dreams for his future. He did not see the purpose of all the money, nor did he want to live the high life that they all did. It was not ideal in his…

What does this story say about people? Martha slightly blames Jesus for her brother’s death. Then she kind of back-tracks and displays a sign of faith, she knows who Jesus is. She calls Him Teacher. Yet, when Jesus told the men to remove the stone from Lazarus’ tomb, she displayed uncertainty. Mary also slightly blames Jesus for her brother’s death. But she also knows who Jesus is because she fell at His feet when she saw Him. The Jews that were present made biting comments like, if Jesus…

I have a quote that I want you to read and then tell me if you know who wrote it: “Enjoying what we do is not always a feeling of enjoyment; it is sometimes the gritty resolution a man or woman shows in doing what must be done — perhaps with inner dread and yet without whimpering self-pity. I like the phrase, “without whimpering self-pity.” It sounds much more dramatic and important than the phrase, “without complaining.” I also like the phrase, “gritty resolution.” Was there anything that you…

According to the co- founder of the Jovia Foundation Melissa Holland, “The clown is a vulnerable figure who serves as a reflection of our humanity”. She means that they clowns involved in this project only do this activities to not take theirselves too seriously and to enjoy a moment of lightness and laughter. Another is…

The Non-Voluntary Active Euthanasia “Is non-voluntary euthanasia morally permissible for any reason”? “Non-Voluntary Active Euthanasia” is a controversial subject (Jotkowitz, Glick, & Gesundheit, 2008). Arguments about euthanasia considerably hinge on the “rights to die” or “right to life.” The “right to life” is an extensively accepted basic moral value and human right founded on the fact that individuals want to live. But, the question arises what should be done to people who are seriously…
