For my Field Study Day I had a confusing turn of events that caused me to go and a research paper on the movie Everest. My original plan was to volunteer at the Elks Lodge but when we arrived there we couldn’t find anyone and waited an hour and a half before leaving. We tried going to a few places nearby, like a church and a retirement home to ask if there were any volunteer opportunites to no avail. So as a last ditch effort we went to the movies and saw Everest. This movie is based on an…

Thalidomide is a sedative created in the 1950s by a West German pharmaceutical company called Chemie Gruenenthal. Originally it was produced to treat morning sickness, and was used a lot by pregnant women.

My paper will talk about Mt. Everest staying open or should they close it. I believe that they should shut it down for a little while. I believe they should shut it down for a little while because there has been like 16 people died there. Since 16 out of 25 people died there they should close it down until they make it safer. That’s some reasons they should close it down for a little while. The mountain is the biggest in the world and people want to climb it. People have the right to climb it…

The movie commences with upside down images and faces imprinted on its memory. We observe yellow fog and trees which precede a napalm air strike. We find a soldier face which is pained and disillusioned. This depicts war everywhere. The soldiers merge with another soldier and disappear into the forest. The soldier is tormented and possessed; he looks at his image in the mirror and grins to destroy it. He wraps himself in his blood, and this reminds us of his face painted with mad. In this scene,…

Greatness is only rewarded to those who seek it, not to those who wait for it to be handed out. Accordingly, producing movies based on great works of literature means translating the original work into something that not only has a great moral, but that is also visually captivating throughout the entire duration of the film. Beowulf the poem was published by an anonymous author in the 900’s and reflects the Anglo-Saxon civilization which had just recently converted to Christianity at the time of…
