Me, Earl and the Dying Girl started off in the most boring way possible. Narration and a dolly in on Greg, played by Thomas Mann, typing on his computer. These days I’ve been paying particular attention on the very first 10 minutes of a film. Does it grab me? Do I get so deep into the story that I don’t want out? Am I totally mesmerized? The first minutes of this film was none of the above. How boring to start off with narration. Films are supposed to be action heavy. An Auteur tells a story with pictures not words. And this one started off with nothing but words, then backed up those words with type on a computer screen. How lame can you get.
together. In this part of the scene there are a lot of images of love.
Shirley's Changes in the Course of Shirley Valentine by Willy Russell "Shirley Valentine" was primarily written as a monologue to express the emotions of a bored middle-aged housewife. The monologue was originally performed by the actress Pauline Collins. The monologue was adapted by Willy Russell and converted into a screenplay. Willy Russell kept most of the original devices such as the voiceovers and the flashbacks to narrate the story. Furthermore he added other character to the screenplay.
Noted by Darryl Hattenhauer, Shirley Jackson, an American gothic author, "ranked among America's most highly regarded fiction writers" during the "1940s, 1950s, and 1960s" (1). Jackson argued that “a good story must engage its reader, persuade him that he wants to belong in the story for as long as it lasts,” and if the author fails to provide such experience then they can consider their work a failure (Hall 113). The idea of authors providing an experience of enjoyment by involving them in the story, made Jackson a successful writer. She also believed that if an author is asked where their ideas come from they would simply “find [themselves] telling over, in some detail, the story of [their] life”, another reason why Jackson was a great writer (Hall 117). Jackson’s continuous refusal to agree with her mother’s beliefs about how women should portray themselves, repeated struggle against depression, and life as a wife/mother, influenced many of her stories.

A common human behavior due to illusory superiority is to overestimate skill, capability or perception of oneself in comparison to others or underestimate it. Alice Walker, a black woman herself, and a partaker of feminist and anti-racist activism creates a scenario that nearly every person from any cultural background can identify with. Miss Millie in The Color Purple has internalized racism and refuses to acknowledge it, maintaining that she is “less racist” than the “other white people”. While viewing herself as superior among blacks and whites, Miss Millie remains in denial about her subtle racism. She is unaware of the fact that her comments are insults rather than the compliments she assumes them to be. This disconnect fuels Sofia’s response,
