She is a 67’ Black Chevy Impala by the name of “Baby” that was a gift from John that was bought when John was a teenager. Pie is a favorite, too, but not as close of a favorite as “Baby”. There are many different types of pie that are picked throughout the seasons. The last thing that is a big favorite is greasy food. Mainly bacon cheeseburgers…

The mental image that many people have of a silent film is of a simple, black and white film, perhaps grainy and distorted in image, depicting a time long gone. With modern, dialogue driven narratives in film, it is easy to forget that dialogue is not the only way to drive a story, dialogue does not necessarily need to be spoken out loud in order to be effective, and that many actors had built careers out of…

To recognize these facts, we can look at the novel, The…
