The scene begins with Kat Dennings character 'Renee Yohe' laying on the ground after taking drugs. A high shot has been used to capture this moment as it usually represents vulnerability, therefore causing the audience to sympathise with Renee, and the position that she is in because she's powerless. This angle also enables us to view the mise-en-scene, which is extremely dreary as the colour scheme used consists of grey and black. These colours have been used as they have connotations of being seriously dull and depressing, thus reflecting the characters emotions and causing the audience have a further understanding of Renee and what sort of personality she has. Still in the same shot we hear the diegetic sound of a butterfly flapping its wings, it flies past Yohe who glances at it emotionlessly. Although this is a very small action, the butterfly holds great symbolism as its reminiscent of her childhood, because at the start of the film we are shown how Renee liked to draw bright coloured butterflies, the directors and producers of the movie …show more content…
A medium wide shot is used to film this section so that we are still able to see the mise-en-scene but also little Renee. This scene shows her still running in the direction that the car is coming from, she stops in the middle of the path and looks to her left but in the blink of an eye the car crashes into her dragging her innocent little frame along with it. The screen immediately switches to black and if you listen closely you can hear Yohe scream out 'no' but it's very faded out which gives off the feeling that is came from very far away. The fact that this shot only lasted for2 seconds shows how quickly Yohe lost her innocence, so fast that she hardly even noticed it, the audience's mind is left to wonder, did she experience a traumatic event? Did someone in her family die? We are literally shown that a part of herself died, but for what reason we don't

1) When evaluating the opportunity for Heather Evans it is important to analyze the situation from a few perspectives. From an industry perspective there is ample opportunity for her to succeed. The barriers to entry are quite low with no clear market leader and even the largest companies do not have high relative market share. Her concept appears to provide her with some differentiation and that will help to position her products to a target segment of the market.

Butterflies go from “returning to their roots,”(58) to “deserting the open space.”(151). The opposing ways that butterflies are mentioned creates the idea that they symbolize Simon no longer conforming to the group’s idea of a submissive follower. Simon is instead having revelations of his own and choosing to follow a different path. Simon being comfortable in his own skin and aware that you know what’s best for yourself shows a maturity he previously lacked. In the same manner Jack provides an image of butterflies being too preoccupied in the clearing to stop dancing.(149). The authors word choice develops the idea of Jacks savagery because it is eerily similar to the phrase associated with characters killing. Yet again the butterflies represents Jack. It seems to reveal how Jack is to focused on the pleasure he gets from taking a life to feel any remorse and stop. Remorse is necessary to prove a person still has trace amounts of good in them. recognizing the

In “How the Garcia Girls Lost their Accents” by Julia Alvarez, It’s shown how being engulfed into a new culture can cause people to struggle with keeping their own culture alive because they are around so many people that are living the American culture. Even though there are so many different races and religions in America, we all as Americans know how things work around here, therefore, it can be tough for a different culture to live out their own ways in such a mixed country. It’s impossible to adjust to a culture without changing and being exposed to cultural discrimination.

A great poet makes the reader feel connected and inside the poem. Shakespeare, Frost, and Angelou all encompass the great qualities of a wonderful writer, because readers are taken on a trip. Much like the Shakespeare, Natasha Trethewey, used “experience” to write poems that take readers on an adventure through the lives of 1912 New Orleans prostitutes. She gives these women identities. These normally shunned women were given families, backstories, and most importantly, emotions. She took what people consider the scum of society and turned them into normal women, who have doubts and insecurities. She manages to make women these women human. In this specific collection of poems, the focus is on Ophelia, a young woman who has to deal with a father

generate moods, and have great psychological affect. This is just as true for the very first series of shots for the film, and perhaps more important since these first shots will give the audience the initial feeling of the film, and set a tone for the picture. The first shot is highly dramatic in its lighting method, and the audience is drawn in immediately to one single detail. A man begins revealing the details of a tragic incident that befell his daughter. We don’t see who he is talking to. There is a spotlight directly above the man, and this is pretty much
