Becoming a Visible Man was an insightful and intriguing book to read for this course. It first caught my attention with the picture of the author on the cover smiling next to a billboard of a man bursting through water, almost as if he was being reborn.

Intertextuality means that there is a connection between two or more texts. That’s why the relationship between the films The Green Mile and Dead Man Walking are said to have intertextuality. The Green Mile was directed by Frank Darabont, the same director from ‘The Shawshank Redemption’. The film is about Paul Edgecomb, a prison guard, retelling the supernatural phenomena that is John Coffey, a vagrant in the middle of the Depression, falsely accused of rape and murder of two little girls.

Value of Color and Light in Henrik Ibsen's Wild Duck In the Wild Duck, Henrik Ibsen begins his play by emphasizing the value of color and light. He uses the theme of light to contrast Old Werle, a stingy rich man, with Old Ekdal, a poor helpless man. Ibsen connects the color green with the loss of eyesight of Old Werle. A possible affair between Old Werle and Gina, Hedvig's mother, may suggest the cause of Hedvig's loss of sight. By using sun and moon, Ibsen establishes the atmosphere of the
