Movie Review Of It’s A Wonderful Life
Number of words: 622 | Number of pages: 3.... he was too busy saving Clarence. Clarence took him to "Pottersville" and showed him what the world would be like if he was never born. That saved George in a way as well. George learned what he had to be thankful for.
I thought this film to be very intellectual. It told a wonderful story, yet taught valuable lessons. Clarence taught George that there is more to life than money, and to end his life because of money was silly. Clarence gave George his book, and in it was written: "Remember no man is a failure who has friends. That was a lesson that George learned. His friends helped him in a time of need, just like Geo .....

As far as the characters go they’re strange to but promote self-esteem and individuality. Showing that people are different and will be different and can live amongst each other peacefully. I also think that the rumor of the one who caries a bag as being an attempt to show that homosexuals are ok is so absolutely absurd that its stranger then the teletubies themselves. The age group that this show reaches barley has grasp on the idea of male and female. Also I don’t know many homosexuals but I’ve never met or seen one that carried a pocket .....

Iowa - An American Portrait
Number of words: 457 | Number of pages: 2.... the ideal way of life. Working on the farm involved all of the members of the family, which brought them together and made them stronger through hardships and great opportunities.
Draft horses used for plowing later became a luxury and farming soon lost its fun and joyful qualities. It was a time of greater hardship than ever before, but the freedom Iowa farmers had to work, worship, live, and play in their own way made it worth the despairing times.
Towns of all sizes began growing throughout Iowa. With them came churches, schools, businesses, and co-ops. The various institutions and businesses of the towns were flo .....

Shakespeare' As You Like It: Effective Use Of Sound In Jaques' Speech
Number of words: 764 | Number of pages: 3.... master, is striving to gain attention before the show starts.
The first three stages can be considered the childhood progressing into
adulthood stages. “Mewling and puking...” (2.7.144), are two words, which when
said, they are slurred and unclear, much like that of the speech of an infant.
The ‘ew' in mewling and the ‘you' sound in puking are common noises from young
children. Next we reach the schoolboy stage. Young men are often reluctant to
attend school, and their protests take the form of “...whining...” (2.7.145).
When the word whining is pronounced, it sounds like a whine. The word starts
with a dragge .....

Number of words: 962 | Number of pages: 4.... little a web as this I will ensnare as great a fly as Cassio” (Act II, Scene I, line 163). His cunning and craftiness make him a truly dastardly villain indeed. Being as smart as he is, Iago is quick to recognize the advantages of trust and uses it as a tool to forward his purposes. Throughout the story he is commonly known and called “honest Iago”. He even says of himself, “ I am an honest man.....” (Act II, Scene III, Line 245) Trust is a very powerful emotion that is easily abused. Othelllo, “Holds(him)well;/The better shall (Iago’s) purposes work on him.” (pg. 1244) Iago is a master of abuse in this case, .....

Imagery In Macbeth
Number of words: 556 | Number of pages: 3.... the idea constantly recurs that Macbeth’s new honours sit ill upon him, like a loose and badly fitting garment, belonging to someone else:
New honours come upon him,
Like our strange garments, cleave not to their mould,
But with the aid of use.
(1.3.144)
The second, most important chain of imagery used to add to the atmosphere is that of the imagery of darkness. In a Shakespearean tragedy a special tone, or atmosphere must be created to show the darkness and blackness in a tragedy. In Macbeth, Shakespeare uses the design of the witches, the guilt in Macbeth’s soul, and the darkness of the night to establish the atmos .....

given out that, sleeping in my orchard,/ a serpent stung me² (1.5, 36) but it
was not a snake that the ghost is referring to. The spirit wanted the prince to
avenge his murder.
All was quiet in the kingdom until the start of Hamlet's supposed
insanity. The Prince was with his mother talking when the prince noticed
someone in the room. Hamlet thought it was Claudius, "How now? A rat? Dead
for a ducat, dead! " (3.4,25) Indeed Hamlet killed someone; but it was not
Claudius, twas Polonius who was slain.

Hamlet: Emotional States
Number of words: 3309 | Number of pages: 13.... hasty
marriage to is uncle, and this causes some deep seeded emotional problems for
Hamlet. I can not talk about Hamlet's emotional state without also going into
the fact that Hamlet already suspects the King of killing his father, before the
ghost tells him so (Leavenwoth, 34). First I will go elaborate on how Hamlet,
at certain times, was clearly not feigning insanity, but that insanity only
lasted for brief periods of time because of the emotional blows that Hamlet
undergoes.
I and many literary folk believe that Hamlet suffered from a Oedipus
complex. Freud described this as a desire for a young boy to kill his father

The Print Media Is Less Effective Than Other Media Types
Number of words: 418 | Number of pages: 2.... an even greater advantage, they can find
global news and have a greater number of choices such as which news program to
watch. Also, if a person is illiterate or a poor reader, it is quite obvious
that they will choose television over a newspaper. Television is a much easier
alternative than obtaining news through print.
A third and very important reason that print is the less effective
method of obtaining information is time. It takes much longer than watching
television or listening to the radio. For example, if a person works a lot and
spends his other time taking care of a family and driving to and from work, then
that perso .....
