One wants to see the cat and mouse game between Bass and Dempewolf. Lauralee is a clever, seductive, and cunning woman. She’s smarter than Dempewolf and, as stated, in the second act she overshadows him. The dialogue is consistent with the culture, and moreover, the voices are consistent for each character. However, the script relies on too much dialogue which slows the pace. The tension is best in the first act, especially in the opening scene when Bass saves the mother and daughter. Then when they try to trap Lauralee, the tension is felt. Certainly, when Bass is captured, there’s compelling tension. However, the tension can be stronger if there’s more of a ticking clock, more action, and less scenes that rely on dialogue. There are small formatting errors. Only CAP the name when a character is first introduced. Clarify if Emiliano is also Miliano. One wonders if Bass should meet Miliano in the first act for the pay off in the climax. Remember to show and not explain or tell. In summary, there’s no doubt that a story about Bass Reeves should be told. CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING: Reconsider the first scene. Enhance the pace. Rework the second act. Lauralee
Johnny Reeves is a very important character in the story the Witness. Johnny Reeves was a minister for the Klan, and was very active in the Klan’s activities. He was very involved and proud to be in the Klan until he got kicked out for “messing” around with a schoolgirl. After he was kicked out of the Klan, he was abused by the Klan, and no longer was a fan. I argue that Johnny Reeves has seen and heard the most out of any character in the story the Witness because he was in and out of the Klan, he associated with people in the Klan, and he has experienced the good and bad of the Klan.

I will be studying the fight scene where Mercutio and Tybalt die, and comparing, the two film versions of the play, I will find differences and similarities as well as describing how each director / producer interprets and makes their version of the film. I will describe how eight different factors are present in each version of the film:
“Sure, we paid this man, and he was the best marshal this town ever had,” (Foreman 314). The marshal, Will Kane, has the advantage of knowing the antagonist and his surroundings while Rainsford does not. Although they are both set apart from civilization, Kane chooses to be secluded over getting on the train. Rainsford can’t choose to go elsewhere; he is stuck on the eerie Ship-Trap Island. Zaroff says, "It is a very great pleasure and honor to welcome Mr. Sanger Rainsford, the celebrated hunter, to my home," (Connell 216). Rainsford is also unaware of the threat that Zaroff poses as, but Kane knew exactly who he was dealing with. In the end, Rainsford and Kane defeat their antagonists and acquire freedom from knowing that they are safe. They were intelligent men faced with difficult
Butler characterizes Dana as a strong black woman to highlight the fear black women had in the past. Dana has traveled back in time to 1815 and is being beaten by one of the patrollers: “I had never been beaten that way before -would never have thought I could absorb so much punishment without losing consciousness”(Butler,42). This is an example how Dana is a strong black women because she was able to withstand the beating of the patroller and was able to defend herself. Dana was able to “absorb” the beating which shows that because of the time period she was born in she was taught not to be afraid and to keep fighting. Dana was being chased by a patroller and needed to hide in a house, “Don’t come in here,she whispered. Please don't come
Many people called Reb Saunders the greatest rabbi of his time. He constantly awed many with his knowledge in the Talmud and other religious books. He appeared to be a great father whom his children could depend on. Contrary to that, he never talked with his children unless it had something to do with the Talmud. While he acted this way, he occasionally shows affection towards his family through subtle expressions.
Shawn Spencer, the main character in the TV show Psych, is a hyper observant individual who pretends to be psychic for the Santa Barbara Police Department. He uses his episodic memory, extraversion, and self-regulation in order to solve crimes and be successful in his endeavors.
In conclusion, I think is very effective because it grabbed my attention because of the tension and hysteria used as it made me eager to know what was happening. Miller uses language and setting effectively convey the tension
I did not understand why the husband and the wife were filled with anger and hostility until the end of the act. The author had me in strings because I did not know how the character, Maggie should be
All of the characters presented in the movie have a distinct personality, making the viewer engage deeply in the heart pumping action and drama.
The common formula for these second act, rehashed tales often disappoint. The thrill is gone and producer’s resort to trickery such as, far fetched story lines and metaphors to capture our attention. They have to dig deeper into the psyche and personal lives of the leading cast, which often leaves a lackluster taste on our cinematic palates. It is very difficult to spin the same old tale time after time, this
athaniel Hawthorn’s book, The Scarlet Letter, is rife with complex and captivating characters. Throughout the book, Hawthorn displays his ability to write characters who are believable, and yet fascinating at the same time. Each of his characters posses different, unique traits, and are all intriguing in their own right. One character who stands out among the rest, is Arthur Dimmesdale. Dimmesdale is one of the main protagonists of the book, and is the tragic character of the story. He proves his tragic nature through his steady decline from upstanding Pastor to sinful hypocrite, his torturous treatment of himself, out of remorse for his sin, and by others, and his eventual overcoming of his in conflict.
The overall tension feels diluted by the sluggish pace. However, there are some strong, action sequences. The initial battle between McCoy and the homeless man is solid and reminds one of THE HUNGER GAMES. In fact, consider creating a thriller in which this element of the script is not so limited. Like in THE HUNGER GAMES, expand this premise and this world.
