Voice acting

His role in Back to the Future cast him as slight in stature but heroic type character, which is difficult for one to visualize as the two personas are not typically paired together in Hollywood. However, his acting style and ability made it easy for the viewer to believe in the character. Fox’s ability to use comedy throughout the movie allows him to overcome odds, such as the scene where his character Marty goes up against Biff in the diner. This scene highlights…

reading the last passage of Book IV, I would say that the characters seem consistent with my earlier impressions of them. Dido was still trying to stiffen her feelings for Aeneas and continue to revere the love for her late husband. She is described as acting, “like a wounded doe caught all off guard by a hunter” and as “veer[ing] in flight” (88, 91). This simile is characterizing Dido as an innocent female whom is shocked by a man actually swaying her heart and is trying to flee from her true…

When the Founding Fathers came to what would become the United States of America, they wanted to avoid creating the same problems in the new colonies that encouraged them to leave Britain in the first place. One thing they wanted to avoid was giving too much power to a single individual for fear of having a monarchy like they had had before. To prevent this, they decided to divide up the powers of the government into three branches: the legislative branch, the executive branch, and the judicial…

The co-director, Jennifer Lee, has indeed been innovative in her use of camera techniques, special effects, music, lighting, etc. Jennifer Lee use a mixed of 3D and 2D camera effects to bring the film the way it is. The studio also developed several new tools to generate realistic and believable shots, particularly the heavy and deep snows and its interactions with the characters. The need to create new tools take a serious action of creativity and dedication. The use of special effects such as…

Sophocles was one of the three ancient Greek tragedians to have his plays and quotes survive to this time. Sophocles was born in 496 BCE, in Colonus, Attica, which is just outside the walls of Athens, Greece. Sophocles received an admirable education, which led to his success n not only the playwright industry, but also as a devoted citizen to Athens, Greece. Furthermore, Sophocles lived to the age of 90 and then died in 406 BCE in Athens. Throughout Sophocles lifetime he wrote over 120…

If the students do not get a say in what they will be learning, they will not enjoy it. “Acting through his friend Francis Pico, and on behalf of several other students, Steven Pico brought suit in federal district court challenging the Board’s decision to remove the books” (Source C). This court case allowed the students to voice their opinion on a decision the school made. If their voices aren’t heard they won’t develop into active citizens, who are able to speak on their own behalf. Even…

The dialogue “Crito” happens in Socrates’ jail cell, where he awaits execution for corrupting the morals of the youth and insulting the gods. He is visited before dawn by his old friend Crito (whom the dialogue is named after), who bribed the guards to look the other way while he smuggles Socrates out of prison to the safety of exile. Socrates appears to be very eager to anticipate his up and coming execution, thus Crito presents the greatest number of contentions as he can to induce Socrates to…

voicing your opinion, but refusing to participate or at least stand up for the National Anthem shows an immense amount of disrespect to the people who have served and lost their lives and to their families. The way Colin Kaepernick tried to voice his opinion could have been done in many other ways, especially since…

The town people, the collective voice acting as the narrator, play a role in Miss Emily’s isolation and depression. The town people were recorders of what Emily had gone through. And they acted as the narrator telling us what had happened. However, they were also impersonal bystanders who never tried to help Emily out of trap. For example, at the beginning of the story, when the town people came to Emily’s funeral, “the women mostly out of curiosity to see the inside” (Faulkner 99). When Emily…

On Tuesday October 20th, 2015, I went with my sister and dad to see Gidion’s Knot at Centre Stage. The play is about the course of a parent/teacher conference, where a grieving mother and an emotionally overwhelmed primary school teacher have a fraught conversation about the tragic suicide of the mother's son, Gidion. Gidion may have either been bullied, or he may have been an abuser. As his story is slowly uncovered, the women try to reconstruct a satisfying explanation for Gidion's act and…
