Gaia was a young naive girl but when her parents were taken away from her she starts to question everything she believed in and is really bothered by how everything is not how it seems. “In the three weeks since her parents had been gone, Gaia had had no news about any of them…Her nights were riddled with nightmares” (O’Brien). Gaia is worried about her parents. She is now alone and she is scared but because she was worried about her parents she made the choice to go against everything she believed in. “...but she found the woman's passivity disturbing...”(34). During this scene she took the baby away from his mother. She expected the mother to start crying or show some kind of negative emotion but the woman just stayed right where she was and didn't put up a struggle. …show more content…
“Well, I’m sure our forefathers would be proud to know that 700 years later we’d be… doing the same exact thing they were doing” (Stanton, Wall-E). The Captain is bothered by the lack of diversity and change from the last 700 years. He begins to question the society he lives in and becomes more curious with the world, and through learning more about the world he begins to gain his humanity. “That’s all I’ve ever done! That’s all anyone on this blasted ship has ever done. Nothing!” The Captain has been bothered by how people in this society are lazy they don’t do anything. He wants to make a change, he wants to make a difference, and he wants to be
Throughout the film Do the Right Thing, we continuously observe racial conflict that builds up to such an extreme point that it leads to a fight for power. This movie portrays the struggles and realities of a neighborhood with white and black African American people. This can be seen in many instances for example when Buggin ' Out, Radio Raheem, and Smiley march into Sal 's and demand that Sal change the Wall of Fame. Another vital instance shows the height of power struggle. It is when the huge fight starts in the street and results in Raheem being killed by a white police officer.
The film “Juvies” really made me think about how the criminal justice system treats young children. Before watching the film, I was under the impression that children were treated fairly and with care when they commit a crime. After all, they are just kids. However, to my surprise, this was not the case. Many children have been cheated by the law because they are put through the adult system and are not given a fair trial. Meanwhile, these children are expected to make the rational decisions that an adult would make. There is biological evidence that kids do not have the ability to control impulsive behavior because their brains are underdeveloped. Thus, I believe this system is extremely unfair because children are not protected in adult prisons, which makes it very difficult for them to succeed once they are released back into the free world.

“Smooth” Move The title of the short story is “Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been?” written by Joyce Carol Oates. The story takes place around the 1960’s in the suburbs; determined by the music the character Connie listens to. This short story is about a character named Connie who tries to act far above her age and also does stuff that is not acceptable to others. Towards the end of the story, Connie comes to find out that a man by the name Arnold Friend has been stalking her and is now trying to seduce her.
In the beginning of the film a quite melody plays behind the narrator’s voice add she describes the story of the gods and Perseus’ birth, which adds to the story like ambiance of the scene. However, once the scene jumpcuts to the beginning of the storyline where Perseus’ adoptive father finds him and his deceased mother in a casket, the music fades into silence. Thus, the ceasing of the music is another element that is used by the directors and the editors to end one scene, the backstory, and begin another scene.
In this documentary, director Kirby Dick sheds a bright light onto one of society’s most hushed-up subjects--rape. Specifically, rape on some of the most prestigious college campuses in the United States. Institutions such as University of Tulsa, Florida State University, Arizona State University, and Oklahoma State University are only a few of those under fire for their methods of handling sexual assault reports. Likewise, the film does not spare Ivy League universities such as Harvard and Yale, exposing their investigation track records right on screen. The documentary The Hunting Ground is very effective in bringing attention to the reality of sexual assault on even the most popular college campuses through personal interviews, statistics, and testimony from former college officials.
The cinema is one of the most unique forms of media because it has the ability to make a
I watched the film Fed Up (2014). The film's purpose is to spread awareness of the dangers of excess sugar and fat in a diet. It also wanted to bring awareness to the food corporation corruption. The film seeks to educate the public on the effects of an unhealthy diet. It is meant to open the eyes to the obesity crisis in the United States. It emphasizes on how sugar is the direct cause of obesity.
Split M. Night Shyamalan’s movie Split starts out with three girls, Casey, Marcia, and Claire, that are being picked up by one of their dad’s. Instead of her dad getting in the car, a strange man jumps in the car. One of the girls question who he is and states that he may have the wrong car. Then he puts a mask on and knocks them unconscious with some kind of gas. Right away we know that the man has a mental problem because in the next scene they are being held captive, and he tries to make one of them dance naked for him.
When reading that passage, my mind went to a similar but different place. I immediately compared it to the movie Wall-e in which they sent all of the citizens of earth on a vacation in which they fed the people so much food and gave them so many things that they did not even realize that the world they had left behind was being destroyed. The leaders knew that if they kept the people occupied, they would be able to succeed with their plans all along and no one would even notice. I can see the same thing with your example of slavery or even with Hitler’s rule during World War II.
“Little is left to the imagination, and little is left up to the viewer.” Neisha Ulrey, a high school English professor, mentions this quotation in her article, “Do not look at the paper: imagine it”. It defines a glimpse that correlates between the story and the movie and keeping us as “readers” to envision beyond the aiming in both. Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s 1892 Story, illustrates the story of an unnamed narrator and her husband “john” who were on a vacation, for the narrator to relax, because she was suffering from psychological issues. However, the movie has a different approach. On 2012, Logan Thomas has adapted the story of “the yellow wallpaper” manipulating the central idea which focuses on the existence of a supernatural force that

For this assignment I chose to write my paper over the recently released movie, Split, directed by M. Night Shyamalan. In all honesty I did not actually want to go see it, and yet where did I end up on the opening day of that movie? Yep, right there in the first row since, unfortunately for me, it was my boyfriend’s turn to choose the date night movie (Insert eye-rolling emoji here). The reason that I was not enthralled about the idea of watching this movie was because it is classified in the horror category, and to be frank I get startled very easily. I was not actually bias to the movie because I believed that it would be bad, just a little nervous. Although he assured me I would love it so I found my best face-hiding hoodie, as a precaution,
I choose to watch and review the movie, Room. Prior to reviewing the reptest scoresheet, I watched the movie with an open mind. I personally enjoyed the film and appreciated its suspenseful motives and emotional pull. However, after reading the criteria for a score of an A, it became clear that the movie Room, was unworthy of such a high honor. This movie lacked in diversity from multiple angles.
