Whose Life is it Anyway? Nurse Sadler enters Ken's room with his breakfast. NURSE Morning Mr Harrison, and how are you today? KEN Oh I'm just fine, I've just got back from my morning session at the gym and my brisk walk though the park I thought I might go for a swim later. NURSE I can see the sarcasm levels are high this morning Mr Harrison. Well after all of that you must have worked yourself up quite an appetite. Do you feel like having some breakfast? KEN That all depends what it is. NURSE Well it looks lovely; toast, cereal and orange juice. ----------------------------------------------------------- KEN Oh go on then! Sister Anderson enters ====================== SISTER Morning Mr Harrison you have a visitor. KEN If it's that Mrs Boyle and her so-called handy tips and helpful ways, I think I'll pass. SISTER You are one for quick fire comments Mr Harrison. KEN No, I am one for being brutally honest. Something you doctors, nurses and so-called medical social workers have a problem with… honesty! Whenever I say something remotely awkward or candid, you just pretend that I haven't said anything at all. SISTER You are awfully angry today Mr Harrison. Ken rolls his eyes over at the Sister's comment. KEN (sarcastically) Oh! Well I must be clinically insane then. I mean I'm only paralysed from the neck down. How foolish of me to be angry. Ken is frustrated and appears to be slightly out of breath. SISTER Calm down Mr Harrison. I am not here to decide whether you are not clinically insane or not, merely to let you know that you have a visitor, and no, before you say anything, it's not Mrs Boyle, it's Jennifer. KEN Jennifer! SISTER Yes Jennifer, your fiancée, or have you worked yourself in to such a state that you don't even remember your own fiancée. But more seriously, do you feel up to having a visitor? KEN Yes, yes of course, I feel fine.

Love can be the most beautiful flower, but that flower can produce the most deadly poison. F. Scott Fitzgerald portrayed this in his book, The Great Gatsby. Gatsby loved Daisy, a woman he met when they were younger and they fell in love them but Daisy couldn’t be with him because he didn’t have money. She is now married, to Tom, who is having an affair on her with a woman, Myrtle, who is also married, but is having the affair because Tom has money. Nick didn’t care to be with Jordan, he just got with her for social reasons. The Great Gatsby was a story about destructive love, whether it’s love for money, just carelessness, or love for someone we shouldn’t love.
It was a Saturday afternoon, and I was at golf practice. It was a gorgeous day. The sun was out, there was just a slight breeze, and there wasn’t a cloud in the sky. No one could have asked for a better day.
‘Das Leben der Anderen’ (The Lives of Others) is a striking example of how a director can convey narrative links within a film by employing various styles and film techniques. The Lives of Others relies upon these visual means to assist with the telling of the story as much as it relies upon the script. In this selected sequence of the film, several narrative links are drawn here to form the conclusion of ‘Operation Lazlo’. These narrative links are further cemented by Donnersmarck’s use of various lighting styles, diegtic and non-diegtic sound, revealing camera shots and intricate mise-en-scene.
I was in the car with my best friend Hannah with her sitting passenger and I was in the driver’s seat. We were talking and laughing, having a great time without a care in the world. My stereo was on and playing was my favorite CD: Blurryface by Twenty One Pilots. We were on our way to a friend’s house and couldn’t wait to get there. The traffic started to slow us down but we didn’t let that damper our mood.

Nothing compares to the thrill of going for a walk. Even the sofa, which makes a great trampoline, has to take second place. As soon as I hear the master call, ‘Come on Meg, let’s go!’ I’m doing my warming-up, at the door.
Placing monetary value on an individual’s life is measured not by the way an individual has lived, but rather the individual’s income; at least that is how society views life. Every individual values life from a different perspective. And while every human will find value in life, those values will not be the same as everybody else. Some people will value life as a privilege and believe life should be taken seriously while considering the consequences in every decision contemplated while others will live in the fast lane with an irresponsible mindset. Individuals also view life differently depending on the circumstances. However, no matter how an individual views life, it seems to be impossible to extract emotion out of any decision. Society, on the other hand, values life by placing a monetary value on a human life. Society also has no choice but to set emotion aside when setting that monetary value. The government will use that value to compensate a family who has just lost a love one. However, some families mistake the compensation for “replacing” the lost soul and become indignant. There are many alternatives when it comes to compensating the victim’s family. In most times, society always ends up placing a value on an individual based on his/her income. Furthermore, while society delivers compensation to families, society also believes in compensation for an individual’s pain and suffering. There are times society should place a monetary value on life, while having restrictions.
