Thompson’s claims initially appeared to hold…

Through his letter, I find Hunter S. Thompson, without force, to question readers to answer their own question in how to find meaning and purpose in their own lives. I find people who want to emulate those who reap success attempt to replicate how they got to where they are. However, I would agree that an advice cannot give the same outcome to different people.

It couldn’t possibly have been for more than a minute or two — and yet, to him, it was as if a probable eternity had passed, and in that eternity Leorio had shown him that there were stars lurking just behind his eyelids.

As each context is examined we will explore examples of each one as they present themselves in everyday life in addition to the appeal of intrapersonal communication and the not…

Though they adapt the same source material, through the skillful use of setting and cinematography, the openings of Joss Whedon’s and Kenneth Branagh’s Much Ado About Nothing present vastly different moods. Both contain sequences not featured in the text that add to their vision of Shakespeare’s original work - a triumphant and frenzied entrance in a bucolic setting for one, and an intimate abandonment in the other. Branagh’s production is a show, choosing to downplay the darker aspects of the…
