Jump cut

If I remember it correctly, I do not even think we looked at each other. I mean I looked at him plenty, but at this point I started to see things that my newly made teenage hormones blinded me to in the first place. His blonde hair was cut into an extreme bowl cut, so bad that it was not even funny, and he had probably the pimpliest face I have ever seen. Now not to sound shallow, those were not the main reasons why I realize I did not actually like him, it was mainly just because I realized…

jobs. By 1932 over thirteen million people lost their jobs, homes, and could not provide for their family. During this crisis, businesses were not being very fair either, and between 1929 and 1932 incomes on average were reduced by forty percent, or cut in half (“Causes of the Great…”). Also, many people died because of the Great Depression. Citizens would kill themselves after losing everything, because not being able to provide for their family made them feel like failures. Thinking their…

As I stood outside in the freezing black night, with the cold wooden handle of a knife in hand. My only source of light, the only thing keeping me from getting engulfed in darkness, slowly dieing. Only one thing was on my mind. How do I get in. This is a story of how I got locked out of my house while my family was out of town. My parents decided to plan a trip to go camping in the Mojave desert. Camping in the Mojave, in my eye, is the worst thing ever because all you do there is sit in a…

the self-operating napkin accomplishes the simple task of wiping the chin through this convoluted series of events: lifting a soup spoon (A) pulls a string (B) that jerks a ladle (C) that then throws a cracker (D) past a parrot (E). When the parrot jumps for the cracker, its perch (F) tilts and drops seeds (G) into a pail (H). The extra weight in the pail pulls a cord (I) that opens and lights an automatic cigar lighter (J), which sets off a rocket (K) that causes a sickle…

with no father – emphasis on no father – that can’t seem to be nice or truthful to one another. The movie tries to tell a similar story but they avoid mention of the father as much as possible. In the beginning of the movie Tom’s opening words are cut out, negating the fact that the entire story is Tom’s memory of what happened. This can change the meaning of the story and make it seem as though we are seeing the events as they happen and then catching up with Tom later at the end of the movie.…

look. In the story “A Good Man is Hard to Find” the grandmother makes a judgement that put her and her family in a difficult situation. She assumed that the misfit was a good willed person because he looked like a good guy. His white smile and clean cut looks fooled the grandma. Her grandsons were killed in the woods by the misfit’s friends. By the end of the story it seemed like they were going to do the same thing with…

done, were all washed down the drain. “Cheswick could understand it and didn’t hold anything against McMurphy…” (Kesey, 174) With no support from McMurphy, it was the final breaking point that triggers Cheswick to commit suicide. Before Cheswick jumps in the pool, “he said he did wish something mighta been done…” (Kesey, 175) and dives into the pool, gets his fingers stuck in the grate at the bottom and…

use of color and the lack of it bring to the literary table in terms of how this work connects with the story it is telling? Could it be that Masereel wanted a more serious tone and used both the woodcut style and the black and white color scheme to cut straight to human emotion using no words to do this, while Moore went after a bright stimulating color narrative in a fantastical comic format with often flowery moments of introspection to impress a serious story under the guise of a child’s…

In an article he says what Columbus had done was worse than Hitler. In the Tainos perspective they saw Columbus as a dangerous, selfish, and powerful man.
