at first but then helped them out because she felt sorry for them. An example of someone who steals even though they can afford it is Winona Ryder. On November 6, 2002, Winona Ryder was found guilty of felony grand theft and vandalism for shop lifting $5,500 of merchandise from Beverly Hill's Saks Fifth Avenue in December of 2001. It was said that Ryder had "intent to steal" because "she brought her own burglary tools," including scissors to remove garment tags, a garment bag, and a plastic
A Written Study of Edward Scissorhands In the film Edward Scissorhands, Tim Burton creates a suburban fantasy by explaining his interpretation of what it is like to live in a suburb. The definition of suburb is living in the outskirts of a town and having limited interests and narrow minded views. Tim Burton creates suburbia and practically makes a parody of the suburb where the family live. The women typify the definition of a suburban housewife; they stay at home, clean and cook. They
look like a youth home rather than a mental institution. but only the main (well known) stars, (Jolie and Ryder) were focal piont. I'll also note that about half the young girls in the movie, Ryder and Jolie included, simply don't look like girls in the 1960's. Maybe that's a difficult statement to explain, but it has to do with that certain look each time and generation seems to have; and Ryder and Jolie don't look like girls of the 1960's. Of course, one could easily say that their displacement is
Countess Ellen Olenska (Michelle Pfeiffer), a woman who has spent much of her life in Europe and is now escaping from a disastrous marriage. Her initial adult meeting with Newland Archer (Daniel Day-Lewis) is sedate - he is engaged to her cousin May (Winona Ryder) - but there is a subtle fire smouldering from the first glance. From that point on, Archer's dilemma becomes painfully clear - proceed with what society deems proper and marry the rather vapid May, or allow his heart and passions to carry him
Creating Tension in Act 2 of The Crucible by Arthur Miller Arthur Miller's play The Crucible is set in Salem in 1692. At that time there was a lot of tension, as many people were being accused of witchcraft and being against God. In the play Miller shows how the accusations affected everyone in Salem. Miller creates a sense of tension by setting the scene in a "low, dark room." This room is quiet and gloomy as very little light is getting in. Miller does this to create an atmosphere which
The classic movie Heathers has a twist like no other about a teenage girl getting sick of being popular at the cost of others leading to deadly consequences. Veronica is a part of the most popular clique at Westburg High School. The clique consists of her and three other wealthy girls all weirdly named Heather. The leader of the most loved and hated group is Heather Chandler. Whose popularity stems from making fun of socially unacceptable students. Veronica begins to become fed up with the girl’s
In the movie Beetlejuice, the theme is that the afterlife is not really the end for us all; we live on a multiple level world between life and death, and need to respect the dead. The theme is idealistic and not applicable in real life to all people. Throughout the movie, Burton reveals his take on the living and life after death and the delicate interaction between the two. The character Otho, played by Glenn Shadix is key to Burton’s interpretation and scrutiny of the afterlife. Throughout the

Michael Lehmann’s black murder comedy, Heathers, was a scathing criticism of high school life and a complete rebuff of the optimistic, lighthearted teen film that John Hughes made so popular during the 1980’s. The timeless issues that Lehmann addresses have allowed this film to reach a cult status. The story centers around Veronica Sawyer, former invisible girl, who had recently become a member of Westerburg High’s ruling clique, the Heathers. When JD, the school’s dark horse, comes into the picture
This year’s November issue of Ulta’s monthly magazine, eponymously named Ulta, contained an advertisement for “Sauvage” cologne by Dior. The product is promoted through a combination of abstract concepts and strategies, appealing to a wide audience with contemporary views. This ad is effective because it employs famous-person testimonial, sells a controversial yet upcoming lifestyle, and encourages embracement of individuality. The aesthetics are straightforward, allowing imagery to be the main
Observing a Scene Brady Enneking 10/13/2016 Comp I My Ryder Cup Experience The 2016 Ryder Cup was held in Chaska, Minnesota. The event brought in over 300,000 golf fanatics from all over the world over the six days it occurred. Fitting over 50,000 rowdy fans onto a golf course is an amazing site. The course was transformed into a small city using movable tent structures. Everywhere you looked there was an unbelievable sight. My father and I had a fantastic experience, that we will remember
may be even worse when a situation like that is the way and style that you live. In the two stories A Body Ritual Among the Nacirema, by by Horace M. Miner, and Reclaiming Culture and the Land: Motherhood and the Politics of Sustaining Community by Winona LaDuke, this situation is just that. In both of the stories, the main character or characters are living in a situation where they are considered the outsider or the outcast. Although the main characters find a number of ways to improvise and work
Community The point that community has an important effect on the shaping of a person’s character is key in both Pythia Peay’s essay, “Soul Searching” and Winona LaDuke’s interview transcribed in essay form entitled, “Reclaiming Culture and the Land: Motherhood and the Politics of Sustaining Community”. The two authors present ideas, similar and different, of what it means to live in and be a part of community. Through examining these two essays, summarizing and synthesizing, we can gain a

The Crucible by Arthur Miller has been transformed through many mediums. To name two, the film starring Daniel Day-Lewis and Winona Ryder, and the live play by the cast at the Evansville Civic Theatre. Both forms captured the theme and emotion expressed by the story, but the film conveyed the message in a more clear, concise manner. In the film, things such as costuming, setting, and actors can make or break the quality of a production. In this case, it made the film display the era of the Salem
