A flat character is one that stays the same throughout a book or story, and a round character is one that changes throughout the book due to challenges they face and resolve. While Huck and Jim are two very important characters throughout the book, it could be argued that they are flat or round. Neither change very much, but each have small discoveries.

Although The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is one of the most well-known books of American literature, not all that is said about it is necessarily good, especially regarding its ending. First of all, racism, and more importantly, what the novel implies about it, is prevalent from the very first page to definitely, the last. Most prominently, this is because of the 219 times the n-word is said, however, the reason Twain did this is open for interpretation. Obviously, this word is incredibly offensive to the modern reader, which in turn, is part of the brilliance; the novel could never be published into today’s world. Neither could it ever be published before the Civil War. Nonetheless, there

Truman Capote hardly made “In Cold Blood” a mystery. Glancing at the front cover, the title gives the murder away. A few pages into the book, the perpetrators of the murder are revealed (as Capote leaves little out in the first chapter of the book). However, he creates intrigue and curiosity in the reader by withholding one crucial aspect of the tragedy, the motive. Although it is first presented as a murder without purpose, the reader is still left poring over the book to figure out why someone would commit such a heinous crime. By the end, Capote offers many reasons for the murder, but holds back on expressing his own beliefs. After finishing the book, I am still left with the question: why did they do it?

In all books, long as well as short, there is a character that stands above the rest. This character must demonstrate high moral character and set an example for the rest of the novels cast.

Throughout this book, Huck demonstrates the epitome of heroism, for the attitude that he posses, as well as his actions and willingness to change.

Scene 1: The tone of the overture for the film is very dark. This harsh music could foreshadow fights or arguments during the movie. However, the music also has parts where it speeds up and slows down. The slow parts could resemble the calm before the storm, which occurs when the music speeds up.

Coming out this weekend in theaters, John Wick: Chapter 2 is an entertaining adrenaline filled blood-soaked romp that explodes on the screen. Summary When we last left our iconic assassin, John Wick (Keanu Reeves) was trying to get out of the gun for hire business and settle down with his wife. Things take a turn for the worst, and the love of his life dies. To make matters worse, the Russian Mob steals his 1969 Mustang and kills his puppy (which happens to be a gift from his late wife).

John Wick Chapter 2 pits Keanu Reeves' titular character against the mean and nefarious of the criminal underworld. Once again, Reeves proves that he is a force to be reckoned with in this ridiculous, over-the-top sequel that is every bit as fun as the original. These types of films are rarely known for their artistic value but John Wick: Chapter 2 sets the bar pretty high, not only in its action, but in it's set design and camera work. This is pure escapist entertainment and couldn't have come at a better time. Those wanting to take a break from watching the Oscar nominees, this film is exactly what you're looking for.

     When Samuel Langhorne Clemens first published his story, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, he was criticized severely. On top of that, the book was banned from libraries and schools alike. The book was thought to be a bad influence on children because it represents the breaking of the law as moral, it recommends disobedience and defiance on the part of young people, it portrays churchgoers as hypocritical, and the most admirable characters in the book habitually lie and steal and loaf (Johnson XII). In this day and time, though, the book has become required reading for many schools, and is found in almost every library in the country. Why has there been a change in attitude

The African American Journey American novels are meant to capture the “American life”. In famous American novels such as Huck Finn by Mark Twain, and Unvanquished by William Faulkner, the novels capture the lifestyle and the real life tribulations of the African American slave in the south. Jim in Huck Finn represents the reality of the African American pre Civil War while Ringo from Unvanquished represents the theoretical aspirations on how African Americans should be in America. As a whole, they represent the reality of the African American slave prior to the Civil War, and represent how African American should be once free. By adopting white values, Ringo has achieved the dream of being accepted into a culture that has long considered African

Throughout Mark Twain’s Huckleberry Finn, racism and slavery are two major thematic concepts pulsing through the novel.

“Persons attempting to find a motive in this narrative will be prosecuted; persons attempting to find a moral in it will be banished; persons attempting to find a plot in it will be shot.” (Twain, ix) Mark Twain opens his book with a personal notice, abstract from the storyline, to discourage the reader from looking for depth in his words. This severe yet humorous personal caution is written as such almost to dissuade his readers from having any high expectations. The language in The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is completely “American” beyond the need for perfect grammar. “Mark Twain’s novel, of course, is widely considered to be a definitively American literary text.” (Robert Jackson,

A studious young man, an open book these two images swirl around the screen in a kaleidoscope effect, this was the introductory scene of "Good Will Hunting." This scene is followed by Ben Afflick, knocking on Will's door, when Will comes out a credit rolls by that says, "screenplay written by Ben Afflick and Matt Damon," just as the two walk side by side. This shows how perfectly the makers of this movie have everything timed, down to the credits. Also, the timing shows when the professor's assistant and Will are alone and the assistant tells Will how lucky he is to have someone believe in him as the professor does. Just as he finishes saying this the professor walks in and suddenly the assistant has something better
