Signs Film Analysis

The 1996 film of The Crucible is a historical drama inspired by the Salem witchcraft trials. The film has won a multitude of cinematic achievements and continuously blows audience members away with the accuracy of the historical events and portrayal of the characters by the actors and actresses. The profound work of Arthur Miller is also expressed within the written play of The Crucible. However, the film did the best job of portraying characters that were both historically accurate and believable to an audience member. One main character from The Crucible that is both historically accurate and extremely believable in the film is Abigail Williams. Winona Ryder, the actress of Abigail Williams, did an impeccable job portraying her character and became widely known for her work through several achievements and film reviews.

There is a huge difference between signs and symbols and many of these were seen in the movie Secondhand Lions. A sign is a physical thing, gibes a brief message, stands for something, and usually instructs someone about something. Examples of signs are warning signs, street signs, informations signs, open/closed signs of shops and restaurants, and many more. A symbol, on the other hand, is something that is visible but represents something invisible that is hard to put into words. It requires your interpretation and they affect how we feel. Examples of symbols are actions like hugs or hand shakes when someone passes away, objects like wedding rings to represent a couples love, a dove to express peace, and a cross to represent Christianity.

Colleen’s death, along with the Hess family’s home invasion scene, line right up with the family’s conflicts. As Bo, Merrill, and Graham stand around the alien who is holding Morgan, Graham is able to see God’s plan, putting him back into group one. He remembers that Colleen died by being pinned between a tree and a truck while walking at night which shows that her death gave the Hess family the necessities for surviving the home invasion. It challenged Graham’s faith in God, gave a reason for Merrill being present, and let Graham see. In their last conversation, Colleen tells Graham to see. Had Colleen not been dying when she told Graham this, he may not have remembered it when necessary. Another reason Colleen’s death is necessary is because Merrill needed to be with his brother’s family when the alien invades their home. Colleen told Graham that Merrill should swing because Merrill was a minor league baseball player who always swung the bat with force because “it felt wrong not to.” Merrill’s role in the home invasion was to kill the alien with the bat on the wall and with Bo’s water glasses. Bo had the habit of leaving “contaminated” water around the house. God’s plan was to give her this habit so that when Merrill knocks the alien over he can reveal that water hurts the aliens. With planted water bombs all around, Merrill could hit them at the alien

However, the vital signs assessment tool (VSAT) was created by the author of this report (Appendix A) based on evidence based practice (EBP) in order to meet the clinical learning environment (CLE) needs as suggested by Bradshaw et al., (2012). Although, the STN feels happy to perform the assessment, nevertheless, the STN requires support since this is the first time to perform VS on a real patient.

Film- Precious Knowledge Precious Knowledge is a documentary that takes place in Tucson, Arizona and focuses on how the Unified School district wants to completely ban the Mexican American Studies Program. In the film there were many scenes with examples of rhetorical appeal. I believe that the way the film was set up since the beginning had an impactful and direct emotional appeal on the audience. For instance, in the first scenes of the film we have the opportunity to get to know the main characters in a more intimate level.

Graham tells Merrill that there are two kinds of people in the world. Graham describes a pessimistic view and a more optimistic view. When something happens the first group of people would see it as a miracle. For example with the alien invasion, there are people who believe that it was supposed to happen but no matter what happens–whether the aliens are good or bad—they are not alone and there is hope. “Is it possible that there are no coincidences?” Then there is the second group that doesn’t believe in things happening for a reason. That everything is just coincidence. If they win the lottery that it was just luck or chance. With the alien invasion they believe that they are all on their own. Merrill calls himself a miracle man and puts himself with the first group. Graham put himself in the second group by saying that everyone is on their

In the film Central Station (Central do Brasil), Walter Salles presents the characters as on a journey to self-discovery. It is a film about identity. Central Station is a melodrama of transformation based on an anomalous-duo comprising of Dora, a jaded retired schoolteacher, and Josué, a nine year-old boy, who embark on a cross-country journey in search of the boy’s father upon the unfortunate death of his mother. The film presents its analysts with many possible interpretations and significations due to its combination of different themes, visual allusions and narrative elements. Central do Brasil film can be interpreted in three ways: as an extended metaphor on the writing process and a narration of personal stories and experiences, as a figurative journey of Brazilian search for its identity depicted in Dora’s transformation and Josué’s quest for his roots, and as a theological allegory inviting a “theological reading of humans struggling to maintain a relationship to an absent God” (Bowman 1).
