I have chosen to write about the actor Jensen Ackles on his performance in the TV show Supernatural as the character Dean Winchester. One of the most powerful scenes in Series 2 is found in the last episode, (Episode 22), called All Hell Breaks Loose Part 2. Dean’s brother, Sam, has died, his corpse lying now on a mattress, with Dean sitting next to him. Dean is talking to Sam, reminiscing about when they were kids and how he knew he was supposed to look out for Sam, without their father even telling him. Jensen sits on a chair, back slightly slouched, looking down towards the bed. This helps portray his sadness as it makes him look defeated and smaller. His voice starts off slow as if it was hard to speak. Once he starts telling Sam about their childhood and how he didn’t want Sam to grow up to fast, …show more content…
During this line, his voice wavers, rising in pitch, showing that Dean is very close to tears. There is a long pause and Jensen looks away, as if he was trying to stop himself from crying. This stays true to the character of Dean as he isn’t one to openly show his emotions. Jensen’s next line is “I blew it,” which he delivers, quite quickly in a matter-of-fact type of way, but ends it with a quick half smile. As if to say, “I’m sorry. That’s what I seem to do”. Once that line ends, Jensen’s jaw starts to quiver and he apologises to Sam as tears start to fall down his face. Immediately Jensen wipes away the tears, rest his head on his hand. This give us the impression that Dean is over come with sadness. His next line he delivers with a smile as if to make a joke and hide the fact that he is sad. This creatures a picture that, although Sam is dead, Dean is still trying to stay strong for him and brush away his sadness. Jensen’s voice for the next lines lowers in pitch as he starts talking about living without Sam, almost as if he were
In the end of chapter ten, Krakauer explains how Sam McCandless is given the misfortune of telling his father and Billie that Chris is dead, but does not further explain their reactions to the news, giving an opportunity to infer their reactions. The first reaction Chris’s parents must have felt was shock and disbelief.
"To improve is to change; to be perfect is to change often" (http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/topics/topic_change.html), this quote by Winston Churchill is something I can connect with as I often feel the need to improve myself which can only be done with change. It also relates to the protagonist, Sanger Rainsford, of the short story, "The Most Dangerous Game," by Richard Connell. Sanger Rainsford changes his views on some matters after being trapped on an island with a madman with no method of escape. He undergoes a major change in his character due to an awful experience in isolation with the psychopath, General
In Arthur Miller 's famous play The Crucible, innocent people are falsely accused of witchcraft and are killed as a result. Even the thought of witchcraft in Salem, Massachusetts in the late 1600s would put the whole village into mass hysteria. Mass hysteria refers to collective delusions of threats to society that spread rapidly through rumors and fear. This is the main cause of why so many people were arrested and killed for witchcraft. One way people could save themselves was by falsely confessing to have performed witchcraft. Many people did not do this though. This is because the townspeople were held to very strict moral values and must uphold their good name in society. They did not want a bad reputation. In The Crucible, by Arthur

Mike and Dana had a nice relationship which came to a brink as they started to disagree about the future of their only robot son. They did not take their time to logically think and investigate Cole’s issue and were influenced by outside people to come to a split decision. Even though Mike did his part best supporting Cole mentally, he failed to consider Cole’s future and did not foresee that he might lose him forever. Dana lacked the sympathy toward Cole’s present condition which did nothing more than worsening Cole’s condition by making him depress and feel guilty. Thus, the parents’ indecisive and rushing manner toward their son covered both their relationship and their son’s future with darkness.

Although a strict society composed of high morality and disciplinary laws may be necessary for safety, it causes internal conflicts within the individuals. In The Crucible, by Arthur Miller a theocracy in Salem rules and guides the citizens into doing what is “right”, but eventually backfires due to issues of reputation and jealousy. Society has a lot of influence on the citizens, and with a bad reputation, it is nearly impossible to live in a Puritan society. Salem’s strict Puritanical social structure causes personal struggles for the individuals involved in the events of The Crucible, and then eventually these personal struggles affect the society overall.
Chapter five provides important information on Ekwefi’s past and a tradition (the yam festival) that has been going on for decades. The chapter begins with it being three days before the Feast of the New Yam in which basically means everyone is excited. Okonkwo and his family are preparing for the holiday feast, and Okonkwo is going to invite the families of his three wives. He doesn’t feel excited, he wants to be working on his farm, this is saying he is a workaholic.
When 12 years old came around, nothing could’ve primed me for the amount of devastation that was to submerge my happy little world. Two months after my birthday, I received word that my renowned and dearly loved, Uncle Dean, had been killed in an unfortunate automobile accident. Crushed, yet filled with a strange numbness, I became withdrawn and dwindled in disbelief. “How could this be?” I would repeat those words of this question over and over to myself, as if it were some magical mantra that could resurrect my deceased best ally. I began taking in the gravity of what this all meant: no more “piggy-back” rides, no more wrestling matches, no more late-night video game contests, ultimately no more fun with Uncle Dean, ever. I never got a opportunity to say good-bye.
Consider the Aristotelian tragedy. It has yet to go the way of Eddie Bauer. In Things Fall Apart, Chinua Achebe devised a tragic African hero in Okonkwo, consistent with the classic stipulations of the figure. Thus, the novel--to its greatest practicable extent—inherently existed as a tragedy on all levels to accommodate Okonkwo. To illustrate this, I will dissect and analyze the many factors that make Things Fall Apart an exemplary model of Greek tragedy by Aristotle’s own towering ideals.
