The James Bond Phenomenon
Number of words: 668 | Number of pages: 3.... he was better at it because he naturally is cool and slick.
Pierce Bronsman played also as a cool, slick James Bond, he really looked like
he was a spy, he kept his cool, I really liked that scene in Golden Eye when he
is at the tanks of fuel where the satellite comes out of the water and they are
shooting at him and there is sparks right next to his eye and he keeps on doing
what he is doing. Talk bout a great and intense scene there. Timothy Dalton
played as fast acting, nervous person as he played James bond. In my opinion he
looked very nervous and very like hyper, he really wasn't that good, but he
looked like he was a reall .....

Movie Review: Introducing Dorothy Dandridge
Number of words: 678 | Number of pages: 3.... generations more respect and appreciation for where they are
and the people who made it possible. The struggles that Dorthy had to g
through such as the scene where they drained the pool since she touched it
amazed me. I couldn’t imagine having to perform under conditions that I
couldn’t use the facilities around me in the hotel I was staying. The
embarrassment that went along with the pool being drained must have been
enormous. Yet, through her anger she kept her head high and still performed.
This film made it possible in world where I found out in our first
assignment to find information on early black artist is almost impos .....

Was feverous and did shake. (65)

Even like the deed that’s done. (73)

Antigone & Ismene
Number of words: 613 | Number of pages: 3.... with men;
we who are weak are ruled by the stronger, so that
we must obey....(346)
Once again Ismene's words clearly state her weak, feminine character and
helplessness within her own dimensions. Antigone, not happy with her
sisters response chides her sister for not participating in her crime and
for her passivity, saying, " Set your own life in order"(346). For
Antigone, no law could stand in the way of her strong consideration of her
brother's spirit, not even the punishment of an early death. Ismene is
more practical ; knowing the task is impossible, she feels the situation
to be hopeless.
It is a wonder, which of .....

Number of words: 1587 | Number of pages: 6.... on
the first two scenes not just the plot but the values as well" (Shakespeare's
Division of Experience, 226).
The opening scenes of King Lear do an immaculate job of setting up the
plot and forming the basis for all the events which occur in the later scenes
of the play. "The elements of that opening scene are worth pausing over,
because they seem to have been selected to bring before us precisely such an
impression of unpredictable effects lying coiled and waiting in an apparently
innocuous posture of affairs." (Shakespeare's Middle Tragedies, 170) Not only
do the opening scenes impress upon us what events could happen in .....

Number of words: 1538 | Number of pages: 6.... is not, nor it cannot come to good. (Hoy, 11)
It is understandable Hamlet is upset with his mother for forgetting about his
father and marrying his uncle, Claudius. In Hamlet's eyes, his father deserves
more than one month of mourning and by remarrying so quickly, the queen has
sullied King Hamlet's memory. This remarriage is a sin and illegal, however
special dispensation was made because she is queen.
Hamlet's opinion of his mother worsens as the play progresses because
his father, who appears as a ghost, tells him of his mother's adulterous
behavior and his uncle's shrewd and unconscionable murder. Although Hamlet
promise .....
