Longshot

I have bookmarked this website for a while, but I did not explore it until now! Just three weeks ago, I said a final goodbye to my “hamster wheel”, the 9-5 regime, after 20 long (and incredibly rewarding) years working for a world-class company and I started my new chapter in life. Writing will be one major part of it looking forward, my next, but the best 20 years, as I envision it. I was born and raised in China until after college, and then I landed on this side of Pacific to attend graduate

He was grabbing a bite to eat when being stopped by two police officers, saying Captain Bryant sent them there to arrest him. After a series of shot reverse shots between Rick, the police officer, and the food worker, there is a longshot of Deckard getting into the police car. As it flies away, the viewer is met with a low angle shot of the police cruiser flying along with non-diegetic music for the futuristic appeal. Then several moving wide shots capture the mis-en-scene of Los

Melancholic Farewells The graveyard scene from Zeffirelli’s 1990 film adaptation of Shakespeare’s famous play Hamlet seems at first to be filler when examined through the eyes of one who watches modern action flicks. However, an interpretation with conclusions of such a nature does not take into account subtle elements mostly absent in flicks. In action flicks, the conclusion is the point of the story – one could even say it is the story, as every earlier scene exists in deference to it. In contrast

Gustave and Zero. The scene begins with a deep focused, long shot of Zero sitting down at the center of a pile of haystacks. Because he is directly at the center, unaccompanied, this shot gives growth to the theme of loneliness. The use of the longshot is to make clear the surrounding area and emphasize the aloneness of Zero. This foreshadows Zeros solitude that will overcome him in the future.

And then the third. I started “battling” with the cards immediately; however, within thirty minutes I became bored. Were my parents right? Should I have looked around the store? Then ideas of what I could have bought flooded my head: the new Nerf Longshot, new soccer cleats, the Madden game...and the list continued and each toy item seemed better than the dumb cards I had bought. Why had I not looked around the store? Regret and anger soon consumed me because of my

I believe that this will boost his self-esteem enough that he will be confident enough to work in a team environment. Mr. Miller is an employee of about two years. He has a lack of motivation that causes him to miss his fullest potential by a longshot. His biggest downfall is the fact that he has such good relationships with his co-workers. He does not mind to just wonder from work area to work area in search of a good conversation. Mr. Miller works well in a team environment but loses interest

novel. Nick Carraway, who is a very admirable person and Tom Buchanan who is the ¨Bad guy¨. In the Great Gatsby characters span from marvelous to atrocious , and these qualities are established clearly through Tom and Nick. Nick Carraway is, by a longshot, the most praiseworthy character throughout the story. Nick has something that nobody else has in the story, respect.

Bills! Bills! Bills! In 1619, the first enslaved Africans were brought to Jamestown, Virginia. Their sole purpose was to work the fields picking and farming profitable crops such as cotton and tobacco. It is estimated that between 1700 and 1800 six to seven billion enslaved Africans were brought to the American shore (Slavery). Life as an enslaved African was more than tough, it was appalling. Slaves were prohibited from becoming literate, they were restricted in every aspect, whether it was in

The sixth sense directed by M. Night Shymalan tells a story of a boy who is able to see dead people seeks help from a child psychologist. The film explores the supernatural from a humanized perspective. The film portrays a story with dynamic elements which not only consists of horror, but also love and humanity.1).
