In the Disney Pixar film, A Bug 's Life, Karl Marx theory of alienation and exploitation are portrayed. The film shows problems of having a capitalist society, and what it does to the working class. Because of these problems within the colony an uprising against its suppressor is established. The film Bug 's Life demonstrates Marx 's theory. In the movie Flik 's colony is being oppressed by Hopper and his gang. Hopper tells the colony that they will provide protection for them as long as the working ants provide them with food. However when Flik accidentally ruins the harvest that colony has just provided. Hopper then demands them to provide twice the food or they will no longer protect the colony. This causes a great distress within the colony because now the ants have to work harder and in result wouldn 't have enough food to feed themselves and their families. Flik gets an idea to start and uprise against the grasshoppers and goes off on to a expedition to recruit warrior bugs to help him and the colony. "Marx predicted that capitalism would become more and more unstable, and that the class struggle between both poorer and larger in number, until in a major social revolution would take power." (Stevenson, Haberman, and Wright 195) Filk 's action to recruit warrior bugs to help the colony fight off the oppression of the grasshoppers supports Marx 's prediction. In the film the ants are the working class and the Hopper and his gang are represented as the capitalist. They…

and fun memories and it is surely a time that changed me and all of my friends. My friend Michael now knows that he changed that summer, but what he does not know is just how much he changed all of us. Like most summers do, it all started at the end of school, the last day in fact. All of my friends and myself had been invited to go to Alan’s house to swim in the creek and ride around on the Gator. The group consisted of Alan, Patrick, Randy, Michael, Josh, and myself. Like every other time…

“Well, I hit on Andover as the first town because it seemed like a quiet and likely spot where an old, frail little lady who owned a shop would be killed. I found Mrs. Ascher when I was in that town for personal business about a few months ago, and I had noticed that she was often in her little shop alone. For letter B, I had to use slightly different tactics. By now, lonely women in shops would have been warned about a killer on the loose, so I had to change the characteristics of my next…

Hamlet is one of Shakespeare’s most honoured and well known pieces of literature that has been studied by many. There is a depth to Hamlet which has caused so many different ways to view and argue the characters and the overthinking in which the book revolves around. The storyline of Hamlet follows a vein of over thinking that begins with the betrayal of his Uncle Claudius when he secretly murders Hamlet’s father – the King of Denmark- then marries Hamlet’s mother and becomes king himself. As…

Change commonly associates with every aspect of life. Often noticed in our surroundings and in the people and creatures we encounter, but may not be as significant for every scenario, whether the change involves someone’s personality, health, or the environment. Five years ago, a countless number of people were not the person they are today due to the different experiences they encountered, which assisted them in shedding their aged skin, revealing the new persona they have acquired. Some events…

Every Saturday morning I get a jolt of excitement in anticipation of the forty-five minutes of wonder I know are soon to delight my senses, forty-five minutes of adventure, fear, and the devilish world of Steven Moffat. Doctor Who is my all time favorite TV show, a show that follows the exploits of the time travelling Doctor and his intrepid companions across the universe. The cleverest thing about this show is, of course, the time travelling part, for it acts as an easy method for the writers…

The film I chose to evaluate is “The Green Mile”. In the film a man is wrongly accused for the murders of two young girls. He is then thrown in jail and sentenced to death row. The three areas of criteria that I find are the backbone of this film are the story, the actors, and lastly the setting of the film. The most important aspect of this film for examination is the story of “The Green Mile”. Stephen King (author) and Frank Darabont (director) did an exceptional job when it comes to the story…

Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption is a1982 novella written by Stephen King. In the story, Andy Dufresne is the protagonist -the formerly talented banker with a good of justice, but he is convinced of murdering his wife. So, he is imprisoned in Shawshank prison in Maine. This novella becomes one of the most popular fictions because of themes whether it be theme of hope, theme of correction system, and etc. Nevertheless, to my mind, theme of intelligence is the major theme that Stephen King…

The Shawshank Redemption is my favorite film of all time and I can almost watch the whole film just by closing my eyes. The film is about a man named Andy Dufesne who is sent to prison on belief that he had killed his wife and the man she was cheating on him with. He is only a banker who claims to be innocent to the crime and is found guilty and sentenced to life in prison at the Shawshank State Penitentiary. While he is at Shawshank he remains to believe that he himself is innocent while the…

Through the days in Shawshank, Andy never lost hope. Loosing hope inside of Shawshank is like Captain Hadley beating “Fat Ass” in the first scenes. “Fat Ass” lost all hope as soon as the prison doors shut and he knew there was no escape. Andy took this into consideration to always have his guard up and not let things get to him. When meeting Red he met somebody who reflected Andy’s life. Seeing how Red was a down to earth guy helped Andy throughout his time in Shawshank prison. The director of…
