Wednesday Wars Respond to Literature Essay Have you ever read the book “The Wednesday Wars”, by Gary D. Schmidt? In “The Wednesday Wars”, the main character, Holling Hoodhood, seems to form opinions about people pretty quickly, especially Mrs.Baker, Holling’s new 7th teacher. This leads you to having the same opinion about certain characters in the book. However, you should never judge people based on first impressions. The world contains many people, you never do know who they really are and what they are capable of until you them.

As in this story he really brought the idea of “the devil” to all eyes. He has a very impressive style of writing, that not most writers have. He likes to express the emotions of the story line through the characters and even the settings. He really makes it feel like you are right alongside these characters feeling everything they feel. In this story, I feel like the main emotion that stuck out to me was greediness, and selfishness.

In the film “Dirty Harry” the means of find the truth and the processes involved are being questioned by detective Callahan. He is willing to use illegal or dirt means to get the bad guys. This is seen early in the film during a robbery when he plays with the life of one of the criminal with his gun. He also has no problems with breaking in without a warrant and and torturing the criminal. This is against the protection found in the US Constitution under the fourth amendment.

As Barnwell observes his students flounder in his conversational project, he realizes, “that conversational competence might be the single-most overlooked skill we fail to teach students,” (Par. 5). Through his personal reflection, Barnwell trivializes the issue as more of a lack of skill rather than a deep psychological issue. He is right, there is defiantly a lack of conversational skill in this generation, however, that is more of a symptom than it is the root of the disease. Barnwell’s solution for teachers is to “have a conversation,” with the students “about a challenging topic” (Par. 14). This is a good solution for the problem posed.

Everyone is dirty, unclean, and in tatters however the group is focused on making the best final product. The colors in the second act in comparison to the first are lively and bright. They give a new sense of life to the group in direct contrasts to the first where everything is dark matching the mood. The final act gives a new and royal ambiance to the play. This is clear and drastic time shift in the future.

Through its trite, and grating production, the cinematic buffoonery of Rachel Perkins’ 2010 adaption of Jimmy Chi’s Bran Nue Dae ineptly depicts an assortment of racial and religious stereotypes and sexual innuendos. The film is a feeble excuse for a 1960’s nostalgic Bollywood inspired musical. It shoots for light-hearted satire but ultimately proves staggeringly unavailing. Bran Nue Dae’s unyielding and fragmented storyline leaves viewers confused and dissatisfied. The film contains an overbearing use of stereotypes, portraying Aboriginal men as drunken nymphomaniac idlers, Catholics as oppressive purists and Germans as hostile madmen.

Director Wes Anderson utilizes the three-act structure exceptionally in his movie Moonrise Kingdom, a film about two estranged, young lovers who flee their mundane lives for a taste of the adventures they both dream of. Act one begins with the “opening image”, this introduces the protagonist’s lives, touring the home of Suzie Bishop and her family who she has grown detached from. After a glimpse into the Bishop home, the audience is taken to Khaki Scout Camp Ivanhoe, where the “theme is stated”. The audience sees that the other young lover, Sam Shakusky, is discovered to have escaped the camp, where he is disliked and considered an outsider. This is all apart of the “set-up”, where the protagonists are introduced and the audience should be hooked in.

He feels like a typical German officer. He’s cold-blooded and has his own agenda. Depending on the target audience, he can be even more malicious. His voice is consistent with his personality. One way to make more compelling characters is through dynamic dialogue.

The movie ties in more brutality and violence to appeal to a modern audience that demands intense appeal to the senses. The play uses the simplicity of setting elements such as the balcony and common acting techniques to communicate Shakespear’s original message. Given the time period of the text, Shakepear’s use of these strategies are as modern as those unique techniques used in the movie. The movie and the play attract their audiences based on what appeals to them. Most importantly, both deliver the message to the audience that “For never was a story of more woe than this of Juliet and her

The amazing adventures of “The Hitchhiker” You won't believe what happens in Lucille Fletcher’s “The Hitchhiker,” Ronald Adams is running away from his problems but he keeps making them worse by chasing after them. This means that the more he runs away the angrier this man gets. Another theme that I found was that death is coming to claim what is rightfully his. This means that this mysterious man is trying to take something thing back that was once his.

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest The film, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, prompts very important aspect of the human condition. In the movie, the protagonist, Mac McMurphy, is deemed dangerous, so the mental institute tries to suppress him (Kesey). The film highlights various aspects of human conditions like psychology, sociology and philosophy. The mental institute tries to suppress the mentally challenged people rather than to try to communicate with them.

Another example is on page 122 is when Aunt Baba says “Never forget the dream, try

Roy angered me. The character’s predominant qualities were aggravating. He was rude, greedy, selfish, manipulative and deceitful. The scene with Roy and his doctor was frustrating to read. I was upset that Roy would threaten Henry for diagnosing Roy with something that he actually had.

He is both courageous and loyal, but on the downside he can also be very impulsive and hot-tempered. He is in this book younger than most main characters in other books, which makes it hard to compare him to someone else. The book is written in the third person, but you still only see it from Harry’s perspective as it’s his thoughts and feelings that are written about.

In the script, People who can park and those who can 't, I tried to create a screenplay for a short film that would be funny yet still be relatable. The general genre that I was striving for was more comedic than a feature film, however, it did turn out to ‘feel’ a lot more like a drama and less comedic. When I was writing this script I was aiming for a mature audience that could read and understand a film script. I kept in mind however, that a scripts ultimate purpose is to aid the film producer in telling the story. The script was designed to include as many language and descriptive techniques as possible, so that I could demonstrate a wide range of knowledge and understanding.
