Recommended: Essay about writing style

1. The thesis statement of the essay is ““Feel Good Inc.” is about a guy who wants to escape from Feel Good Inc., a company which gives people pleasures like sex, drugs, and alcohol.” I believe this is an accurate representation of the message in the video because it perfectly sums up the video. The video revolves around a guy who sees the floating island with a windmill, which represents freedom, from the Feel Good Inc. tower and wants to escape to the island and get away from the tower. However, even though he wants to leave the tower he fails and the windmill ends up passing by and leaving him at the tower. 2. I believe the author analyzed the video very well. He/She did a fantastic job of describing the colors, scenery, and all around imagery in the …show more content…

I would give this essay a grade of 90%. The author follows the following essay criteria: a brief summary of the video at the beginning; a clear and concise statement of the main message represented in the video; an analysis that looks at the images, lyrics, and music; specific details from the video to support the analysis; effective organization; a brief statement of how the video defines/represents your philosophy or outlook on life; a brief summary of the story the video tells and why that story is significant to you; two to four pages typed, double-spaced, with one-inch margins; edited for spelling, mechanical, grammatical, and typing errors. However the essay does not reach these criteria points: accompanied by a sheet that contains the complete URL for the internet site where the video can be viewed online; accompanied by a typed or photocopied list of lyrics; accompanied by a Works Cited page. I remember Instructor Martell being very specific on the fact that the lyrics and works cited were necessary, so I took off 10% for not having them. However, the essay itself looks fantastic. It flows really well and explains the video and music very well. It will be very useful in helping me form my

    The theme of hopelessness is proven through poverty statistics during the time the story is taking place. But the film’s overall purpose provides proof as to what drives Chris Gardner to pursue happiness through dreams and determination. With the aid of visual cinematography and setting context the logos of the film is uncomplicated and artistically arranged to convince an audience of the situations they witness in the film.     Themes in a film differentiate depending upon whether the plot of the film had shifted to reached its climax and while the themes may differentiate, most films all incorporate the use of pathos, logos, and ethos in various ways. A great example of the use of these three principles is The Pursuit of Happyness as it

    Taking the following questionnaire: Satisfaction with Life Scale, Approaches to Happiness Scale, and Authentic Happiness Inventory, helped me evaluate my life. Many times due to circumstance we forget in what positon our life is standing at the moment. We forget how much we have accomplished in the past and how much we have invested to make our future a good one. For the Satisfaction with life scale, I score a 33(love their life and feel that everything is going very well). People may might say well she is living a perfect life, but to be honest is not that is being perfect, is that one day years ago I made a decision of not letting anything take away what I have worked hard for. According to Earl & Carol Diener, because positive moods energize approach tendencies, it desirable that people on average be in a positive mood (1996). If I make a mistake, which is possible because am human, what I do is learn from it. It’s like what the Apostol from the church I go to says” you control life, not life controlling you.”

  • Subjective Well-Being

    1310 Words  | 3 Pages

    According to Freud’s conclusion based on decades of experimentation and theoretical work in the field of psychotherapy, humans cannot be happy because a satisfaction of needs creates only a momentary phase of happiness which expires after some time. Therefore, the focus of life should not be obtaining happiness, and people should focus on avoiding suffering instead (Bullock, n.d.). However, several paradigms about well-being exist, and individual cognitive patterns and paradigms define the emotional responses to social influences. From an objective viewpoint, well-being is a state of consciousness that arises from a combination of internal and external factors, and money is an unstable external influence in defining subjective well-being.

  • Success and Happiness: A Personal Reflection

    1106 Words  | 3 Pages

    Happiness, what is it, and why do we strive to achieve it so persistently? Happiness in some points of view is portrayed as the state that is derived from self-awareness of a benefiting action or moment taking place. What of the moments that are not beneficial? Can a person still find moments of happiness and success in discord, a little glimmer of light shining from the deep recesses of our own consciousness? Plucking it from a mere moment, achieved from money, or is it so much more, happiness is the precipice that all strive to gain to better perceive their success. As a person lives, they are in a constant struggle to be happy. For instance, even the United States Constitution makes reference to the idea that every person has the inalienable right to pursue happiness. This was the resulting outcome of the enlightenment from France, spilling out into the rest of the world from 1650 through 1800. This revolutionized the idea that every single person has the inalienable right to happiness or in different views the right to succeed. As to how one peruses or conjures their happiness that is an entirely different concept and completely up to their preferred preference, but it is something that a person needs to find on their own for true success.

  • Happiness Essay

    638 Words  | 2 Pages

    In life, it certainly seems that for most people, happiness is the end goal. People do what they do for many reasons, but quite often their motives are simply fueled by their desire to be happy. However, happiness is attained in many different ways. As Aristotle points out, happiness is achieved through goodness, which is also very complicated. After all, life is not black and white, and our actions are not just good or bad. Rather, our actions can have ends that are intrinsically good or instrumentally good. If they are instrumentally good, then they will allow us to attain something that we can "trade" for something else that will bring us happiness. For example, if we win tickets at an arcade, they would be considered instrumentally good because although they don't bring us happiness, we can trade them in for a prize that does. On the other hand, some things are intrinsically good. We want these things simply because we want them; they bring us pleasure or security. When we obtain these things, we are satisfied with them and we experience happiness.
