I Am the Walrus

In 2007, Francis Lawrence made a movie version of Richard Matheson’s classic novel I am Legend starring Will Smith. I am Legend follows the story of a man named Robert Neville who is the sole survivor of a deadly virus epidemic in which the virus has affected everyone and turned them into vicious monsters of the night (vampires). Though both the novel and the movie follow the same basic plot each version has their own similarities and differences, which work to their own benefit. Some of the…

especially ones like Sam has in the movie I am Sam, understand on some level that they are different and they care how people see them. In the movie Sam is able to teach those around him many things, including Rita on how to be a good parent. Sometimes it is not the people with disabilities that need to learn to adapt but the people without disabilities who are the ones that need to learn how to adapt. How…

Our film was an adaption of I Am Legend by Richard Matheson. We had three parts in the film, the introduction to the world, Neville meeting Ruth, Neville and Ruth having dinner. My main contribution was through the editing and I also directed the chase sequence. We chose I Am Legend because it was fresh in our minds and we’d seen three adaptions of the book already. We decided that Neville and Ruth’s relationship would be the easiest to portray on screen since we only needed two actors. The…

rumor holding no real proof to back it up. What really seemed to be catching the public’s eyes were the clues provided in LaBour’s review. By playing songs backwards LaBour claimed you could hear secret messages. For example playing the outro of “I Am the Walrus” is supposed to reveal a hidden message saying, “Ha ha! Paul is dead.” While also pointing out that “Revolution 9” rewound sounds like they are saying, “Turn me on, dead man.” Along with using song lyrics as clues LaBour persuaded his…

societies and creating inequality. One of the topics Dr. Sandel covered that I found troubling was the Inuit people and their walrus hunting quota. In the 19th century the Canadian government banned walrus hunting for everyone except the Inuit people. The Inuit are able to kill a certain quota of walruses each year in order to preserve their way of life. Recently the Inuit people asked the Canada government if they could sell their…

represented Paul’s funeral. John, in all white was the clergyman, Ringo, in all black was the mourner, George, in denim was the grave digger, and Paul, with no shoes on represented going to the afterlife. In the song Strawberry Fields Lennon (John) mutters I buried Paul and the end of the song. Time.com says, “In interviews, Lennon said the phrase was actually "cranberry sauce" and denied the existence of any backward messages”.…

Today I am going to compare and contrast three of the regions that they split into. The first region is the Arctic and subarctic. Specifically, the Inuit tribe. The Inuit tribe was a tribe that live in the far north part of the Arctic. They were Mostly hunters, because they could not farm for three fourths of the year, not even in the spring. They heavily relied on hunting sea animals and sometimes land animals, but they were harder to find. They would hunt sea animals, such as the walrus…

only be successful if they are well-liked. Unfortunately, Willy thinks that everyone likes him, but he never really does become successful, “I’m fat. I’m very—foolish to look at, Linda...a salesman I know, as I was going in to see the buyer I hear him say something about—walrus...But they do laugh at me. I know that” (Miller 29). In the end, Willy decides to end his own life, and Gatsby had no control over his retribution. Gatsby died without regrets and thinking that everything was okay. Willy…
