Speech: Take Risks and Live Life to its Fullest Good morning ladies and gentlemen, today I am here to talk to you about a quote that Punch Imlach once said, he said that “a ship in harbour is safe, but that is not what ships are built for.” I think he is trying to say that one should not live their life in fear and that humans in general need to take more risks. Fear comes in many forms, there is fear of embarrassment, failure, and injury. These are the three main fears that keep people from achieving
describes herself from the outside, pretending that everything are okay, "Fine, I’m just fine, I tell him". However, in her inside, she is fighting and struggling with her feelings, wanting to curl up to him, remembering their time together. An example of this is when she says, "She wants to snuggle up to him, to cringe" . getting to the end of the poem she left and felt indifferent about this man. Another metaphors that Carolyn
Anyone with a TV has heard about large criminal cases in which a man or women has attacked a group of people. We are informed of the victims, the violence, and the amount of deaths. Any channel at a certain point is talking about the crime, it then becomes the only thing people are talking about. Cases such as Casey Anthony, George Zimmerman, James Holmes, and Ariel Castro are cases that have been talked about on the news, talk shows, and late night. In this list not all have a mental illness but
I Screwed Up! High school is a strange time. After three years of trying to develop identity and friends in middle school, students are expected to mature immediately on the first day of ninth grade, but I never did this. I never fully realized in the earlier grades how important high school success, as measured by GPA, would be to my future life, and as a result I am applying to college with seemingly contradictory measures of my ability to perform college-level work. If I had worked and studied
The film doesn’t have a soundtrack, instead it has a mostly original score which is “chopped and screwed” throughout the piece. Britell was able to do this after learning of the director’s love for the sub-genre of hip hop. Chopped and screwed music is this form of southern hip-hop where you are taking tracks of music and you slow them down. Anyone knows when you slow music down like that, the pitch goes down. You would
she’s been quite lonely without him, other than cross-country. So a few nights before school starts again, Ashleigh partied at her best friend Vonnie’s house, who is known for throwing the biggest and baddest parties. With the music up, and the red solo cups filled up to the rim, everyone there let go and just enjoyed lounging around on the patio deck or the pool. Rachael, one of Vonnie’s friend, who Ashleigh can’t stand, suggests that if Kaleb isn’t going to make it to the party, why not send him

The scene, in which she cannot sell a house, has a close up of her abusing herself by screaming, crying and the slapping herself back into her altered reality. Although Carolyn appears to be socially savvy, she is often shot alone struggling to be the success she has created in her mind. “American Beauty” has
pile of dust. It was so unusual seeing squat, dumpy buildings* anymore. The towering skyscrapers near my home were plentiful, and, according to our government, they utilized our available land better. At our council meetings, they always told us "Build up, not out." It made sense too. After all, since the Losing War, many of the previously luxurious cities had been annihilated and the landscape was deemed radioactive. Our arable land had been reduced to half its original size. I leapt over a pile of
times of distress and panic. One example of this is when Gilbert wakes up with Becky in the field and he realizes he needs to go home and fix the damage that he has done to his family. Another example of this technique is when Mama Grape dies and Arnie finds her. She is shot at an oblique angle, which emulates the distress that Arnie then feels for the loss of his mother. One other varying technique is when he shows Arnie up in the tree. He is shot from below, putting him in somewhat of a power position
of California that Faye previously gave him, the camera shows a close up of the map. This close up reveals that the Cop has kept the map thinking about Faye, which makes Faye feel touched and respond to him. The camera takes high angles at the Cop’s perspective and then low angles at Faye’s stand. These shots make audiences view Faye to be shy and cute and focus on Cop’s gaze toward Faye with love. The scene ends with a close up of the audio, which played the theme song, California dreaming, at their
Piggie did apologize, but the audience never knew who she was apologizing to, she got interrupted rudely by Clare shushing her and Bogey telling her to shut up because, he was still conversing on the telephone; “PIGGIE: I am so sorry — CLARE: Shhhh! BOGEY: Shut up, I can 't hear —“ (Coward). That kind of manner from both Clare and Bogey is not something that should be done in front of the guests, but to actually say something so rude like that to the home owner
movies 99). This example from our books shows how by changing the angle of the shot it can mean two completely different things. The filmmaker can also use movement to distort the image speeding it up and slowing it down. Adding to the tension or suspense of the scene or for comedic purposes. Speeding up the movements of a character in a comedy makes his movements seem unnatural machine like and unnatural.(understanding movies 129). There are so many ways that movement can be used to add to
The first scene begins with a close up shot of Senor Love Daddy 's mouth, the top of a microphone, and an alarm clock. The alarm clock, being used as a prop, is making a very loud, annoying, ringing sound. This is done in order to get the viewers attention to the problem of racism. After the ringing stops, we start reframing in, and zooming out slowly, seeing more of Senor Love Daddy and the microphone. There is hard lighting present in the scene. The entire shot has a reddish color to
Andy Warhol, born as Andrew Warhola, is famously known as the leader of the pop art movement back in the 1950’s. One of Warhol’s most famous prints is Campbell’s Soup Cans consists of thirty two canvases lined up in a row of eight and columns of four; another of artwork of Warhol similar to this is Green Coca-Cola Bottles which consisted of 210 Coca-Cola bottles.

Contrasting Themes in “Blue Velvet” The subconscious psyche is one of the most fascinating and almost completely inexplicable aspects of human behavior. Even more intriguing than merely the subconscious is the notion of a darker, more repressed side that many individuals refuse to acknowledge exists within them. In David Lynch’s film “Blue Velvet,” the director attempts to explore the psyche of a young man named Jeffrey Beaumont, most notably the clash between his darker side and “good” side
drawn out diary. Amazingly this book was difficult for me to put down because I became so enthralled by the process of putting on a ballet. At the beginning of this book the author describes the dancers coming in on a rainy Monday morning to begin warm-ups and rehearsal. This of course is the beginning of their voyage to opening night. The dancers taking part in this production were from the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theatre. The ballet that they plan to perform in seven weeks is called “Speeds.” The
Dramatic Devices in Williams' Cat on a Hot Tin Roof "Williams instinctively understands the loneliness of a human being - his or her constant and desperate attempt that is to escape the reality that is there loneliness and their subsequent failure to do so". Williams portrays this loneliness to an audience through the spatial distances on stage between characters, which is suggested in the stage direction. "Margaret is alone". It is also emphasised through symbolism and the dialogue between

Both wore black, shapeless hats and both carried tight blanket rolls", this suggests that Lennie maybe trying to copy George as he looks up to him and wants to be like him, as also imitates George actions at the river bank.
