Edgar Wright is a really great director who knows how to make people laugh. He is known for his Comedic Cornetto Trilogy, and the movies I will be talking about are “Shaun of the Dead”, and “Hot Fuzz” are the two of them. The scenes display the kind of style he uses in the films, and by using film techniques it helps show the style by how effective it is. Techniques such as music, sound effects, camera work e.g close ups, mid shots, and characters. Wright uses these techniques to grab people’s…

Edgar Wright is a good director who is known for using different genres and twisting them to make them comedic. He has directed many films such as Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz and also The World’s End which is his comedic ‘Three Flavours Cornetto film trilogy’. Edgar Wright uses montages in his films in parts that are boring, so that people don’t have to sit through long, boring footage, also these particular scenes don’t have to be cut out. These are still important parts, even though they are…

author of The Sunflower, Simon Wiesenthal, went through a sentimental battle. He was a Jew in the Holocaust, while working one day he was taken by a nurse to meet a SS Nazi soldier who was close to death. This SS Nazi soldier surprisingly told Wiesenthal, a Jew in the Holocaust, about all the crimes and death he has done and then he asked for forgiveness for all the people he has killed or potentially hurt. The author Wiesenthal never replied to the plea for forgiveness. Instead, he remained…

meaningful lines in the poem, suggesting that they have achieved eternal togetherness through enormous love for one another. Of all of the interpretations of this poem, one in particular stands out that is quite different from others. In this interpretation judgment has just been passed on the foremost female intellectual and spiritual leader in Cambridge, Anne Hutchinson. Her accusers persecuted the woman for her weekly scripture meetings with other women that had become so popular that…

Simon Wiesenthal’s memoir, The Sunflower, told the story of Simon when he was trapped in a concentration camp. During his time in the camp, he was told to make a decision of forgiving a SS officer. An officer who Wiesenthal was contributing to his daily torture. Instead of verbally saying he forgave Karl, Simon implied his forgiveness by staying silent. I agree with Wiesenthal’s actions because I have relatable instances from my life that make it understandable. Such as, my parent’s divorce and…

The poem “Her Kind,” written by Anne Sexton, is like a walk down the speaker’s memory lane; a dark and twisted memory lane. Anne Sexton, an American poet, was born in Newton, Massachusetts in 1938 and at a point in her life she suffered from a mental breakdown; and eventually committed suicide (815). Sexton’s poem is written about the speaker’s past self and experiences; we could assume that the speaker of the poem is actually her. The speaker is reminiscing on many of the things that she has…
