Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Road Chip http://www.impawards.com/2015/alvin_and_the_chipmunks_the_road_chip_ver8.html when seeing poster of Alvin and the Chipmunks, people can recognize that it is an adventure film between Alvin and other chipmunks. The film also has similar features to the previous movies such as having the same kinds of jokes, pop culture references, hip-hop music, and physical comedy. Thus, it attracts many audiences, especially children and is an amazing film for the whole family. The screen of two sides street is the dim buildings which make the picture that is more visionary. Next, the dim buildings make watchers image that a person is driving a car with high speed together with three chipmunks. However, three chipmunks’
“Fox Hunt and Old Ben’’ are short stories and their authors are Jesse Stuart, and Lensey Namioka. They are very different and similar. The author used foreshadowing and flashback to help build suspense. The flashbacks and foreshadowings are a bit similar. They both are different as well.
“Live people ignore the strange and unusual. I myself, am strange and unusual”, this is just one of many of the quotes from Tim Burton. He calls himself strange and unusual, and it shows: in the movies he has directed. In both Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Edward Scissorhands, Tim Burton uses characters with tragic beginnings and judgmental antagonists to convey that individuality is preferable to conformity.
To say this novel is even remotely similar to anything being read in my high school classes would be an outright lie. The philosophical themes of existential dread, nihilism, absurdism and general apathy are unlike those found in any novel. Thus, it is fortunately unlike a great number of books and ripe for comparisons. “Fahrenheit 451” and “Huckleberry Finn” come to mind, as those books have plots centered around active rebellious tendencies and great adventures. In the book “Fahrenheit 451” the protagonist Guy Montag, when presented with great danger, makes an incredible escape in order to pursue his life and his curiosity. In stark contrast to Guy Montag’s exciting escape from his inanimate doom, the narrator (his name is Meursault, left out in some translations) accepts his death sentence as an implication of the inevitable. He does not know whether his is guilty or not of his crime, only that he has been sentenced to the guillotine and that an attempt to prolong his existence is
What is a hero? What is a leader? Both of these words could be used to describe Odysseus and Atticus Finch in their times and, maybe still could be described as a leader/hero. Odysseus who lived in Ancient Greek was the picture of a hero and leader in that time. He … . Atticus who lived in Alabama in the early-mid 1900’s, could also be classified as a hero of some sort but he seemed like more of a leader. He, … . Atticus from To Kill A Mockingbird, and Odysseus from The Odyssey both are leaders and Heros in their own way, they also have people surrounding them that question them, and also people that support them.
I believe my introduction meets the exceptional criteria because my introduction grabs the reader’s attention creatively. I have a good thesis statement that explains what I am going to talk about in the other body paragraphs.
Throughout generations, we’ve seen several types of creators within the art of literature. Two representing artists in this field are Dr. Seuss and Kendrick Lamar, both very complex, impacting several people. Dr. Seuss was known for his rhyming and colorful use of language just like Kendrick Lamar. They both have well-fed imaginations and impart a bit of wisdom with every word they speak. But what sets them apart is their backgrounds, the type of literature they put out, and the audiences they reach.
Fifty. Dr. Seuss’s Cat and the Hat had only 225 different words in it. Bennett Cerf, his editor, made a bet that he could not write a book with less words. They settled on 50 words. This isn’t the only weird fact about a Dr. Seuss book. Yertle the Turtle is about Hitler. Dr. Seuss created the word, “nerd” for his book If I Ran the Zoo. Dr. Seuss almost didn’t get published. He took his first book, To Think I Saw It All on Mulberry Street, to many publishing companies who all rejected it because they thought it was too silly for children. The success of his reading books killed off the famous Dick and Jane books, which were used to teach children to read before Cat in the Hat.
Within the debate on who is to be crowned the “Great American Novel,” a valid factor that may be taken into consideration is how ideals in culture become altered with an evolving environment, and therefore, the argument can be made on the behalf of The Great Gatsby to be considered for the title. Due to its more recent ideological concepts, the novel addresses American ideals that are not fully developed or addressed at all within The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. These ideals can be boiled down to primarily two concepts: the fully-developed American dream of richness and upper-class goals, and consumerism in the industrialization of America. While Mark Twain’s piece touches on the “American dream” with Huck beginning the book off with $6,000
America was a very different country in 1971 when the original Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory was made than it was when the 2005 remake Charlie and the Chocolate Factory hit theaters. From 1971 to 2005 America’s technology had advanced greatly and the culture had changed as well. These two factors can likely explain why these two movies that closely follow the same story line have many differences. The most noticeable difference is the change in graphics and special effects. Another huge difference can be seen by the Oompa Loompas and their songs. One more difference is the films portrayal of Willy Wonka himself.
From the dark, eerie, and mysterious language, to a well-thought-out plot of revenge, Poe uses this theme to show why his works are considered a part of Gothic Literature. In the three of his more popular works focusing on the theme of revenge includes: “Hop-Frog” (1849), “The Cast of Amontillado” (1846), and “The Tall-Tale Heart” (1843), each conveying why the narrator wanted to seek revenge, and by murdering the foe is how vengeance is sought. In the short story “Hop-Frog,” Poe introduces his narrator as a midget who is a jester of the king’s court. Hop-Frog is beaten, made-fun-of, and abused, all at the expense of the king’s fun. With all the torment, he faced and the humiliation of a friend is
In this scene, a Mad Rabid dog, named Tim Johnson, comes through the streets of a the town of Maycomb.
The film, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, was directed by Robert Zemeckis and released in 1988. This film is quite different than the films I usually watch because I am not a big fan of cartoons, however, it was a pretty decent film. The film immediately begins with a cartoon scene full of color and disaster. As the cartoon scene ends, there is a very noticeable difference in the colors of the setting. The cartoon characters were so bright and colorful compared to the shadowy “real life” setting. The wardrobe of the actors were also very dull and unpleasant compared to the bright colors of the cartoons. I do not know if this is entirely true, but it seems like the “bad” cartoon characters were not as bright and full of life
Black or White; Right or Wrong; Innocent or Guilty. These frames inevitably fail to address the intricacy of right and wrong due the constantly shifting circumstances that occur in everyday life. Of course the concepts of good and bad still exist, just not in the clearest of forms as displayed in Animal Farm by George Orwell or the Declaration of Independence. Illustrated in both is a call for an immense shift of power though a more controversial approach. On the other hand, Martin Luther King Junior's “I Have A Dream” speech is famous for promoting change through peaceful means; however, he also explains the colossal obstacles that might well require alternative methods. The bottom line is that change will always be a necessary aspect of society, thereby making any tool to achieve it also necessary. Therefore, the form in which change is reached can be considered ethical even if the means of the change cross the standard lines of morality.
The book and movies I am going to compare are Charlie (Willy Wonka) and the Chocolate factory. The book was written by British author, Roald Dahl. The 1971 film was directed by Mel Stuart and the 2005 film was directed by Tim Burton. Both movies and books have very good plots and details. Some are very similar; others are quite different.
When detached from civilization, human nature instinctively shifts from domestic to savage behavior. In William Golding’s novel Lord of the Flies, savagery supplants civilization. The novel is set during World War Two on an uninhabited island, an ideal incubator for this return to primitive behavior. The story follows a group of boys who have arrived on the island because of a plane crash. Automatically, two boys, Ralph and Jack, emerge as leaders. Ralph is chosen as the chief of the group and assigns Jack as a hunter. Piggy is a boy on the island who automatically shows his superior knowledge and is the first to meet Ralph. Another boy, Simon, enters the novel as a very timid and sensitive character who does not say much at the beginning, but increases his speaking throughout the novel. Piggy has a very present intellectual
