...Angry Birds – Tecnología Rovio, una empresa con 8 años de experiencia dedicada a crear videojuegos, había visto el iPhone como una tecnología innovadora y que debía ser aprovechada. El objetivo de la empresa era crear un juego en la plataforma iOS que permitiera explorar las ideas de negocio que ofrecía el App Store y que se volviera una solución para sus problemas financieros. Así nació el videojuego Angry Birds, el cual para el 2010 había contabilizado ya 10 millones de descargas. Al enfocarse en su tecnología, es necesario observar un panorama amplio, pues existe mucho esfuerzo tecnológico en muchos aspectos en la aplicación. El juego como tal podría considerarse un emulador de físicas, en la cual se define un espacio con gravedad que permite entonces definir variables como velocidad y aceleración. Dentro de este espacio se definen objetos cuya masa es variable y que permite definir variables como momento y peso para emular colisiones. Aunque el comportamiento de estas variables difieren de la realidad, son lo suficientemente parecidas como para brindar una experiencia al usuario muy atractiva. La interfaz de usuario también amerita reconocimiento. La intención de los creadores era brindar al usuario un juego “rápido”, en el sentido que el usuario lo utilizara en espacios de tiempos temporales de ocio, tal como: en una fila, en una estación de bus, etc. Además, querían crear un juego muy intuitivo en el cual el usuario no tuviera que aprenderse como utilizarlo sino que lo entendiera...

...Twelve Angry Men has lots of different characters in the story. Each character has a very unique costume that goes along with their personality. The style and color go along with their mood and character. The character costumes that I will give in depth details are the the 3rd juror, the 4th juror, and the 10th juror. The 3rd juror is the antagonist of the story. He believes that the boy is guilty no matter what and is not even willing to listen to both sides of the argument as well. In the story he is a businessman. He proudly states in the story that he started his business from nothing and ended up employing 34 people to his business. It is also revealed that he has a very bad relationship with his son. He thinks that the boy is guilty only because his son supposedly tried to kill him. He was also the last juror to change his mind to innocent, which in the end it shows he redeemed himself and started to become a better person. All of these details were shown to show the character of the 3rd character and why this character should get a black suit. Black is associated with evil, which this man in the story is probably the closest to evil. The man would also have very slick hair, giving him a very sharp and corrupt look. If big...

...The Life and Music of the original Angry Young Man On May 8th 1956, Look Back in Anger opened at the Royal Court Theatre as the third production of the newly formed English Stage Company. It was viewed as a play that would provide a euphoric blow to the customary and old English theatre. The changes in popular culture between 1950 and 1960 in Britain have been called a “cultural revolution”. Whatever was revolutionary about this era must have some bearing on both the genesis and reception of the ground-breaking play Look Back in Anger, by John Osborne. Appearing in the middle of the decade Osborne's drama initiated the cultural moment of the Angry Young Man. Precisely which young men were angry at this time and why are questions that lead back to this concept of the Cultural Revolution. Understanding Osborne's Jimmy Porter, the original Angry Young Man can take the researcher away from literary culture and deep into British popular culture. The cultural revolution of the 50s can be constituted with permissiveness, cosmopolitanism, new class attitudes and youth, each of which is manifested by distinctive artefacts such as cinema, popular music, the daily papers and other texts that surrounded the ordinary person on an ordinary working day. These four areas encompass the change in social attitudes and behaviour between the end of post-war austerity and the onset of world recession in the 1970s. By the end of this time, British society dressed differently, ate differently...

...Twelve Angry Men 12 angry men is a production about a murder trial. A boy that could be looked on as guilty from the word go, is put up to the jury to decide his fait. The boy has a background of violence and crime and has been brought up in a slum. The jury is almost certain of the boys guilt. Every member of the jury votes guilty but ONE and so the jury is forced to sit it out and make a decision. We started off the production by choosing who the director would be. In the director we looked for someone that was a good actor himself so that he could speak from personal experience. Also we wanted someone that people could respect and would give thought to his ideas. The people we chose to be or directors were Craig and Bill we chose Craig because of his talent as an actor. Craig has been a good director so far, we decided that Craig would be the director for act I. act I is full of key scenes that need to be presented to the audience in a understanding way. Bill was also chosen for the director of act II, bill was chosen because of his potential. I think because in the class work we have done he has shown really good initiative. For example in a piece of improvisation work he had the idea that if they turned all the lights off their words would have more of an impact and it did it worked like charm. He also has a good imagination I could see this when he was telling me what he would do as director. We decided to choose the directors...

...12 Angry Men (1957), or Twelve Angry Men (1957), is the gripping, penetrating, and engrossing examination of a diverse group of twelve jurors (all male, mostly middle-aged, white, and generally of middle-class status) who are uncomfortably brought together to deliberate after hearing the 'facts' in a seemingly open-and-shut murder trial case. They retire to a jury room to do their civic duty and serve up a just verdict for the indigent minority defendant (with a criminal record) whose life is in the balance. The film is a powerful indictment, denouncement and expose of the trial by jury system. The frightened, teenaged defendant is on trial, as well as the jury and the American judicial system with its purported sense of infallibility, fairness and lack of bias. Alternatively, the slow-boiling film could also be viewed as commentary on McCarthyism, Fascism, or Communism (threatening forces in the 50s). One of the film's posters described how the workings of the judicial process can be disastrous: "LIFE IS IN THEIR HANDS - DEATH IS ON THEIR MINDS! It EXPLODES Like 12 Sticks of Dynamite." This was live television-trained director Sidney Lumet's first feature film - a low-budget ($350,000) film shot in only 17 days from a screenplay by Reginald Rose, who based his script on his own teleplay of the same name. After the initial airing of the TV play in early 1954 on Studio One CBS-TV, co-producer/star Henry Fonda asked Rose in 1956 if the teleplay could be expanded to feature-film...

...The world is very messed up today. Most newspapers and magazines are twisting the truth, writing the facts in a way that supports their point. Many people today don’t know how to find the truth, and so fall for the biased more likely twisted information written by the media. How do we separate the truth from the bias? The 12 Angry Men by Reginald Rose is about 12 jurors who are deciding on if a boy who murdered his father is guilty or not. The jurors work hard in trying to find the truth, and in the process of examining the testimonies, someone is threatened and tempers flare. By examining Juror Eight’s questioning about the evidence, Juror Four’s open mindedness, and Juror Three and Juror Ten’s violent manners, we can clearly understand how...

...In the movie 12 Angry Men, twelve jurors are set to decide whether or not an eighteen year old boy should be served the death penalty. The men came into the room thinking that it was an obvious case. All of the men but one decided on voting guilty. Since there was one outcast, the group had no other choice but to listen to the individual’s opinions on why he believed the boy was not guilty. The visual was executed through different types of communications. There were different needs of control which allowed the gentlemen to gain a self-understanding and insight into each other. Also, the group was able to communicate in an organized manner by being interactional. Group communication was used in the movie because the subject was being spoken...

...The main theme of the play Twelve Angry Men is given to the readers directly from Juror number 9 and Juror number 2, "It takes a great deal of courage to stand alone". Reginald Rose focuses his central message on the importance of standing up for what is right, even if tt means standing alone. For instance, Rose does not provide many details about the night that the crime was commited in. He only gives his readers limited facts on the crime, such as the knife that was used by the murder, the time of day that the crime was commited and some background of the suspect. This allows the readers to focus their attention on Juror numbe 8, as he stands alone, convincing the the others on doing whats right. In addition, Rose does not end Act...

...How would you feel if you knew that one decision you make could decide someone’s fate? How would you make sure you make the right, just decision? How could you decide knowing you could end the life of an innocent victim or let a murderer go free? In the motion picture drama, 12 Angry Men, directed by Sidney Lumet, twelve men are given this responsibility of deciding a court case as the jury. The fate of the accused is in their hands. The twelve jurors who hold this power show their contradicting opinions and personalities early on, and are influential to the decision. In the beginning, the jury seems to have agreed that the boy is guilty, but Juror #8 stands alone in the 11 to 1 vote. He digs deeper into the evidence, bringing up points that prove possible innocence. This forces the jury to spend more time on...

...“Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God” Jonathon Edwards delivered a sermon for the ages in 1741. “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God” was powerful and moving to all who heard it. Edward’s mastery of diction, immaculate imagery, and reinforced repetition made sure his listeners understood the full impact of their sins. This piece was so forceful, it sent them running for the hills. Maybe not the hills but a few did run out screaming! He accomplished exactly what he had hoped for. People were definitely afraid that God would punish them for their sins. Jonathon Edwards knew how to make his words count. Edwards chose words that got the most bang for his buck. He wanted his words to convey his feelings in the most persuasive way possible. Phrases such as, “The floods of God’s vengeance have been withheld” were used in this sermon. The words are chosen carefully to demonstrate God’s wrath. Edwards could have said God’s anger but he chose, instead, to use the words “floods” and “God’s vengeance” to evoke fear and trembling in his listeners. Another phrase Edwards uses is, “fiery floods of the fierceness and wrath of God”. Those words are full of impact. When they’re spoken to the crowd they automatically trigger trepidation. Edwards once again is demonstrating God’s disdain for sinners. One of the most aggressive statements in Edward’s whole piece are the words, “you are ten thousand times more abominable in his eyes than the most hateful venomous serpent is in ours.” Edwards...

...In "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God" by Jonathan Edwards, Edwards describes in this sermon God's fury towards those who do not following the religion. To do this, Edwards is required to use man rhetorical devices. Some of those devices are Imagery,Connotation, and Personification. Edwards uses Imagery to allow his audience to visualize how near God is with his wrath. He states, "There are the black clouds of God's wrath now hanging directly over your heads, full of the dreadful storm and big with thunder..." This allows the audience to imagine the proximity of Gods wrath. He uses, "black clouds", to describe how dark Gods wrath is. These clouds are right over the audiences head to allow them to visualize that is only a matter of time until God releases his fury upon them. But he also goes on to state, "full of dreadful storm and big with thunder..." to describe the darkness of the clouds, but to also allow them to get an idea of some the items that are held within the dark cloud. Edwards uses imagery to all his audience to visualize the proximity of Gods wrath, but to also allow them to imagine the horrific events that follow if God decides to release his wrath....

...society members; however, it is often also used as a source of hope. Jonathan Edwards’s Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God speech and Patrick Henry’s “Speech to the Virginia Convention” have many differences in the way the speakers portray religion to their advantage, and striking similarities in how they use religious views to persuade their audience. Edwards begins his speech by explaining God’s wrath, and how all Christians are held in the “hand” of God over the pit of hell. From the beginning of his speech, he uses this imagery to instill the fear of burning in hell eternally. Edwards then continues to add panic within the audience as he conveys that “The devil is waiting for them, hell gaping for them, the flames gather and flash about them and would swallow them up” (5-7). The usage of imagery pushes these...

...The Great Awakening was a movement in colonial times influenced by leaders such as George Whitefield and Jonathan Edwards. One of Jonathan edwards’ most influencial sermon was “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God”. In this sermon, he demonstrates how God’s wrath is unstoppable and only Christ can save you from an eternity of misery. In his sermon, “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God’, Jonathan Edwards impacts religious beliefs of colonial American people through rhetoric and persuasion during the Great Awakening. Edwards’ sermon revolutionizes the religious beliefs during the Great Awakening. Edwards uses the simile: “ The God holds you over the pit of Hell, much as one holds a spider, or some loathsome insect over the fire, abhors you, and is dreadfully provoked: his wrath towards you burns like a fire… you are ten thousand times more abominable in his eyes than the worst venomous serpent is in ours” (Edwards 89). This new idea of God being a God of fury and relentless wrath revolutionized the belief of colonial Americans. William Farley states in his article on the Great Awakening that “Overnight, the town was transformed. The citizens sang hymns in the streets, the tavern closed, young people pursued God in bands, and it...
