A simple movie about a boy not fitting into society? There is so much more. “Rebel Without A Cause” directed by Nicholas Ray has a far deeper meaning to the plot than what most people understand after first watching it. The key to understanding this meaning is by paying attention to each component of the film. While components such as sound further the movie, the plot would not nearly be as developed without the camera placement, along with the character placement; It gives a deep insight to the

summer sun pour down onto pale backs of the shirtless people. Loud music blasts out of multiple speakers by the pool and sounds loud enough to knock you over if you get close enough. A positive vibe can be felt amongst all the people as we are all anxious to reach our destination. Loud footsteps can be heard as there seems to be a rush towards the shade where the refreshments are located. Occasional gusts of wind nudge sunglasses out of position and cause a chase down of runaway hats. When the
No poet does a better job of stressing the abruptness of death as Frost in his poem, “Out, out –”. Death is the one of the more central themes among most works of art and normally befalls on the speaker’s loved one. In this case, “Out, out –” is about an innocent boy who accidentally severs his hand with a buzz saw; the entire scene and the family’s reactions described by an observer. Throughout the poem, Frost finds creative ways to intensify the boy’s death and readers may wonder why he focuses
statements, I began to jot down a few notes on flash cards, so I can easily refer back to them at the time of need. As soon as my mind was about to be filled with the science of our blue planet Earth, out of the blue, I hear a loud BUZZ! Nearly scared out of my skin, I ran to the source of the loud and disturbing BUZZ to realize that it was only my phone. Staring at the almost blinding bright screen, I see that I have a new notification. I sighed deeply and thought to myself "Why am I being bothered when I'm
It is then that I realize that the moment I have been waiting for it here. My fifteen minutes begins now. I let out a loud cheer and begin posing for the camera and attempting my best pouty face. If gazes are honey then the paparazzi are flies and their buzz, buzz, buzz is music to my ears. One Minute In- The flashing lights from the cameras are giving me a headache. I have to elbow my way through the throbbing, aggressive mass. The paps’
Buzz, buzz, buzz, the alarm clock sounded off again, trying to get my attention. Awaking from a deep sleep, I remembered that today I would learn about shooting an M-16 rifle. I arose quickly, not wanting to be late, dressed hurriedly in my camouflage utilities and raced out of the door to my car. I could not get to the rifle range fast enough. As I was driving, my thoughts raced and my stomach turned as I wondered if I would be able to hit the target. Would the rifle be too heavy? Would I pass the
briskly walked to the auditorium my heart was racing with nerves. Today was the first day I would have the opportunity to go and mentoring some of the young women at the Richard L. Bean Juvenile Detention Center in Knoxville, TN. Ever since I found out this program was available I was more than eager to go and make a difference. Growing up, life wasn't easy. As a result of these adversities, I've been able to not only see, but personally experience, having a constant battle in my life. Throughout
jacket when he needed to be confident in himself. The way he looks shouldn’t determine his personality. This proves how needed it is to be confident in oneself. Also the boy says, “Everybody saw me. Although they didn’t say it out loud ‘ Man, that’s ugly,’ I heard a buzz-buzz of gossip and even laughter that I knew was meant for me.” People were judging him by how he looked when they hadn’t even got to know him. They weren’t looking at his characteristics they were looking at how he looked.
“Buzz, buzz, buzz...” My alarm seems to shout louder and louder as it fills my room. I take a deep, full breath as my eyes hit the darkness of the room. I slide out of bed, somewhat dreading the long day ahead. I look out my window; there’s nothing, nothing but black. My dad comes in file behind me as I make it down the stairs, just as he was leaving his room. We eat in near silence. A quick bowl of cereal, and then we go our separate ways. I slip on my shoes and get dressed. About twenty minutes
efficiently. Charles Dickens portrays such violence from the French Revolution very well with the symbols of the blue-flies, the storm, and red wine. For example, the blue-flies represent the people’s lust for blood. During Charles Darnay’s first trial, “a buzz arose in the court as if a cloud of great blue-flies were swarming about the prisoner, in anticipation of what he was soon to become” (Dickens 50). When this quote is said, Charles Darnay, a prisoner at the time, is being tried for treason, with a
1. “Then, touching the brim of his cap, he headed for home and the day’s work, unaware that it would be his last.” (page 15, paragraph 1) This sentence is an example of foreshadowing, since it gives the reader a hint that something bad is going to happen to Mr. Clutter within the next few chapters. 2. “Though dusk had established itself, Dick, doing a steady sixty miles an hour, was still driving without headlights, but then the road was straight, the country was as level as a lake, and other cars
The Jacket by Gary Soto In "The Jacket" Gary Soto uses symbolism to reflect on the characterization and development of the narrator. Soto seems to focus mainly on a jacket, which has several meanings throughout the story. The jacket is used as a symbol to portray poverty, the narrator's insecurity, and the narrator's form of self-destruction. Since the story uses a certain object, the Jacket, as the meaning of several issues, it primarily focuses on the narrator's poverty-stricken family
teenagers take a field trip to the planetarium. Jim is approached by Buzz and his friends who start clucking like a chicken. At first Jim doesn’t want any trouble, but after Buzz kicks Plato, a switch goes off in his head and a fight breaks out. Acting on impulse, Jim yells, “All right--you want it, you got it!” (Stern). Jim’s impulsive nature and need to prove himself gets him into even more trouble when he agrees to a chicken-run with Buzz. Jim doesn’t want to race, but does not back down as his pride
In Mark Twain's The War Prayer, he points out that prayers always carry with them a dark kind of side. This makes me curious as to why people pray for the death of others. Prayers that ask for victory in war are wishing that god will destroy their enemies. The losing side in a war must suffer death and destruction but why must prayers ask god to do this? Mainly, Twain’s essay shows to readers that praying for success in war is also praying for the defeat of another nation, plus it is ironic since
Ring Ring, Buzz Buzz. Someone’s phone may go off in class and can cause a serious distraction to everyone around them. Cells phones in class has been becoming more and more popular over the years. Students are becoming more interested in their phones than they are in class. Teens say “But I need my phone, don’t take it away.” You don’t necessarily need a phone. You can definitely go about 7-8 hours a day without it. Students check their phones more than 11 times a day. Which therefore means they
the rippling water that is reflecting sunlight into my eyes on a warm day can’t be beat. Sitting on the deck balcony that could overlook the lake, the cool breeze could always enhance my mood. I could see and hear anything from here like the subtle buzz of the jet ski down in the lake. The jet ski created ripples of water behind it which created a v-shape. Branson, MO is a unique and meaningful place to me and my entire family. The lengthy and boring car ride to Branson was always worth it. The
music in this film are very realistic, and to the point. There is not anything abstract or out of place, and everything is very appropriate. The sound effects in the film are diegetic (sounds that the actors can hear), with the score being nondiegetic (sounds that the actors cannot hear). The film falls under the category of realism, with no stylizing or manipulation of images and sounds. The film starts out with orchestral music, and shows James Dean's character, Jim, drunk on the ground of a sidewalk
Water has many different smells. There is chlorine, salt, lake, fishy, and well of course drinkable. The one I will never be able to get out of my nose is the chlorine. In sixth grade, I was a member of the Sullivan Blue Dolphins. I wasn't that good at swimming, but I'll never forget the swim meets. Especially the one at the Red Bird Aquatic Center. Your typical indoor swimming pools still have diving boards, a secondary kid pool, dressing rooms, the launching stands, and a lot of storage
treason for passing information to France, and if he is found guilty, he will be sentenced to death. A large crowd is drawn to the courtroom to watch his trial. Dickens describes their eager anticipation as he states, “When the Attorney-General ceased, a buzz arose in the court as if a cloud of great blue-flies were swarming about the prisoner, in anticipation of what he was soon to become” (Dickens 50). The courtroom cannot wait for the approaching drama that they are about to see firsthand. They act
