gruesome way of presenting it to his audiences. He always takes violence to the extreme. In the scene with the pimp he doesn't just shoot the pimp in the back or chest. He goes right for the gusto...his balls! Another example of this is when Dennis Hopper was killed. We all knew what happened to him, but Tarantino makes sure he shows us the oozing bullet wound to his head. Some people think this is taking violence too far; however, acts of this nature happen in the real world every day. I guess
Parallels in On the Road and Easy Rider Released more than a decade apart, Kerouac's On the Road and Dennis Hopper's Easy Rider are replete with parallels. Both depict characters whose beliefs are not quite uniform with those of society; in both cases these characters set out in search of "kicks" but become part of something larger along the way.

The camera starts on a bright blue sky with birds chirping and flying by and then tilts down to bright red
Five Easy Pieces: Transgressive Fiction, Heterology, and the BBS Style The opening image of Five Easy Pieces sets the stage for the introduction of the main character, creates a framework for the development of the story, and creates an unambiguous visual illustration of how the movie exemplifies films made under BBS Productions, the innovative company which produced movies for a short period of time from around the late-1960s to the mid-1970s. BBS contributed several notable films during the period
Analysis of Dennis Hopper's Easy Rider The movie “Easy Rider” revolves around two bikers making a trip from Los Angeles to New Orleans, to attend Mardi Gras. The first scene in the film involves the two main characters selling a good amount of cocaine to a man in Rolls Royce. After the drug deal the bikers begin their journey to Mardi Gras, but not before one of them removes his watch and throws it on the ground. I found this indicative of his pursuit of freedom, because time serves only to constrain

the essay from Pencils to Pixels, Dennis Baron details the world’s journey from the use and making of the pencil to the computer.

Yes, pencils were actually adopted as a tool by “note takers.. ..scientists...and others who need to write”. They were taken from artists and adapted it for use as a writing tool ( Dennis Barron 44). And so, in engaging
when there are already various writing technologies available to us. I can honestly say, that by the end of this project I had realized how much technologies such as computers, typewriters, pens, pencils, and paper are taken for granted everyday. Dennis Barron said “writing is first and foremost a technology” (Barron, 37). This statement is something that I agree with! I think that any way someone writes should be considered a technology. The materials used for my project, include: a sweatshirt

most well known British authors of his time(Dennis). Today Milne is praised for his 'accurate and sympathetic observations of child behavior, his wit, and his skill with language, especially wordplay and dialogue'; which are easily recognizable in his famous Winnie the Pooh stories(Discovering Authors). Although people today regard Milne's stories as children's stories, Milne did not intend them for children, but rather for the child within every person(Dennis).

Dennis Potter took the poem and turned it in to a play about a group of children who were on there school holidays in the

Edward Hopper's Nighthawks takes place in a lonely city that is lifeless between the streets, the diner, and the buildings that arise behind it. While the light within the diner aluminates through the windows and latches on to the dark gloomy streets, four people sit in inaudible silence as the chef cleans out a glass. A woman with a red dress that matches her flowing hair sits looking uninterested and exhausted while she examines her hand. Meanwhile, two men in black suits with stern postures beam
