Andre Dubus “The Killings” and Todd Fields In the Bedroom present the theme of grief, revenge and how a good person can commit an evil act; through the different uses of characters, plot, and tone. There are very subtle changes between the story and the film adaption, with some parts of the film quoting the story word for word. While the director keeps the film in very close likeness to the story, there are subtle changes we can compare and contrast. Beginning with the characters, right away the narrator in the story introduces the grieving family of Frank Fowler. Matt and Ruth, the parents, and siblings Steve and Cathleen. The latter two were omitted from the film adaptation, due to them not having any appearances after the funeral in…

As Dr. Liraz Margalit said in her paper human beings brains take in information on the big screen the same way as they would if it was happening in reality right in front of them in their own life. It makes complete sense that Todd Fields adapted Andre Dubus’ short story to fit the intention of the big screen. The ending production result of In the Bedroom would not have had the same effect on capturing the audience in the drama of the plot if there would not of been some of the emotion…

She seems happy until she is looking it over at the table with her family. I didn’t realize what it was until they passed it around the table. The slip of paper showed a sample of each member of the family’s blood. There is four members of the family and three out of the four were the same. By the…

This paper will analyze why there has been a decrease in the amount of women in the fields of STEM, ways to increase the percentage…

Walking out onto the green grass of the Braden River Soccer Fields, I have butterflies in my stomach. It was a hot, beautiful day with the sun beating down and not a cloud in the sky.

I hardly knew anyone on my team, except a boy named Noah with blond, curly hair and pale skin. As my team showed up one by one, nobody said anything to each other. Before the game started, our coach, Coach…
