The Daily Show

I never was the writer who lived a rich life grand with detailed stories that gave them initial inspiration on my creation of a character, detail of a line or the crafting of a setting/scenario. I just started with something out of the ordinary and built off it. I will say that the only initial theme quantities I enforce are biblical allusions or themes that work as political commentary on religious matter. No matter what I am writing about it try my best to express a political statement or…

rushes to judge someone he barely knows, but instead tries to understand and reason with them. If it wasn’t for financial problems or social embarrassment, every one of Spider-Man’s enemies would turn into his friend by now. This empathy Spider-Man shows is inspiring to everyone in society because people always judge others who are not “normal” or is different. He is a big motivation due to our current social norm where we always have to fit in to not be deemed as weird. Spider-Man, by majority…

A 24-year-old blogger for The Washington Post, Ben Domenech, resigned yesterday after being confronted with evidence that he had plagiarized articles in other publications. His resignation came after writing six blog items in the three days he worked for Red America, a blog that The Post created to offer a conservative viewpoint on its Web site. Mr. Domenech — who had worked in the Bush administration and was a founder of the conservative blog RedState.com — came under heavy criticism from…

He was the top scientist at the Oscorp laboratory. He was designing a hover pad, and a chemical that is supposed to make a human stronger and better without any side affects. The government did not approve because of his one test failure of the many he had on animals. He was going to lose his job unless he proved that it worked on humans without side affects. He tested it on himself and became The Green Goblin. He killed his fellow scientist and the government people who would accept his ideas.…

“With great power comes great responsibility.” Not only is this a very true and inspirational quote, but it also serves as the mantra of my favorite superhero of all time, Spider-man. The gifted teenage web-slinger has held a very special place in my heart since the first time I watched the movie Spider-Man, starring Toby McGuire, in 2002. Needless to say, when Sony released The Amazing Spider-Man only ten years later, I was a little hesitant about their new spin on my favorite character.…

There are few things in sports journalism that I’m more comfortable with than a beat. My experience – primarily in college as a writer, then editor, of the Daily Bruin at UCLA – has been shaped by the beat system. UCLA’s strongest athletic teams are often the Olympic sports rather than football or men’s basketball, and the Daily Bruin is lucky to have a large enough staff to fully cover all of those teams. Since my first day in the Sports Department as a contributor on the men’s water polo beat…

Unfortunately, her diary is left unfinished, for she, her family, and the other occupants of the annex are discovered by the Gestapo and sent to a concentration camp. The general horror of war, coupled with the specific horrors that the Nazis inflicted upon the Jews, is the major theme of the diary. Anne Frank, the young teenage girl who writes the diary, experiences the pain of war first-hand. In order to try and escape the Nazi extermination of Jewish people, her family and the Van…

defined as quick and cheap journalism, which appeased the whole population. Examples include tabloid newspaper companies such as the Pall Mall Gazette and the Daily Mail. Commercial journalism was a catalyst for the changing of news reporting in the Victorian era, where demand for newspapers increased to such an extent that by 1900 the Daily Mail had sold nearly 1 million copies, compared to The Times which only sold 40,000 in 1850. The 1870…

Weir’s 1998 film, The Truman Show, explores a variety of themes, but the one that will be followed throughout the paper is simulation and simulacrum, which is seen through the filming techniques. This paper will also explore the Psychoanalytic theory through the character Truman Burbank and his day-to-day routine and lifestyle. Truman exemplifies the true qualities of the Psychoanalytic theory through his reactions towards the people around him. In the film The Truman Show, Truman Burbank…

During truman's life in his fake reality he discovers many lies about his world. Truman wanted to explore the world as a child. He wanted to discover the world unknowingly that he was held by a cooperation for a daily movie or tv show in the fake world that he lives in. He wanted to fly to a place for vacation only to realize that “He who controls the past, controls the future.” Many of the people in Truman's world are actors apart of the movie and have seen what reality is. Truman's…
