...bog56269.app.qxd 7/23/03 1:01 PM Page A-1 APPENDIX Writing a Film Analysis Films are made to be seen and heard, to appeal to our visual and aural senses. Like any art form, however, films are also meant to be felt and understood, to appeal to our emotions and minds. One of the best ways to determine whether a film has succeeded in any or all of these goals is to analyze the elements that make up the whole work. To write an analysis of a film, you must study the film carefully. Your critical analysis should be derived from your personal encounter with the film, not from published criticism. Access to a videocassette recorder or DVD player is essential if you are going to perform a critical analysis of any depth. It is not enough to like or dislike the movie; you must determine why it succeeds or fails in reaching out and encompassing the viewer. The first step is to view the film in its entirety. From this viewing you can get an initial reaction to the many parts of the film that you will have to explore in more depth. When you first view the film, it is best not to try to take notes or separate the parts of the film; you should be familiar with the textbook in order to know what to look for. After you have formulated a thesis and have begun the process of supporting that thesis, you should view the film at least once more in its entirety and two or three times in segments in order to review scenes of major importance. The thesis statement is the element around which to...

...Running head: Reaction Paper Reaction Paper to “The Glass Menagerie” Jonathan Villela University of Phoenix Tennesee Williams "The Glass Menagerie" is a classic story of youth finding the responsibility they're given (or in this case left with) overwhelming and repressive. The main character of Tom perceives himself as trapped in his situation of working to support his mother and sister. As Williams once stated concerning Tom, "to escape from a trap he must react without pity". Tom is not selfish by nature but, dreams of a better life than his current conditions allow. In leaving his family to seek out some type of deeper meaning of existence, Tom finds a middle ground between selfish ignorance and completely justified self-preservation. A strong component of Tom's gradually protruding inner suffering is the classic anti-hero theorem of “Life would be better anywhere but here". Tom looks for something beyond the confines of his life with his mother and sister, but isn't exactly sure what it is that he's seeking. He feels trapped to his current situation but, what he realizes a little too late is that physical removal from his family is not escape from them. In his final monologue, Tom claims to "....run to the movies, buy a drink, and speak to the nearest stranger- anything that can blow your candles out". By breaking away from his family Tom found not the sense of freedom he may have been looking for, but another layer of guilt and possibly a little bit of self-loathing...

...chronicles of 1700s became the target of a degrading equation which was between a Writer and a Whore. The movement away from this degraded real life identity to the lofty observer of life changed their status from a whore to an intellectual. It is this observer who does not write of a real life personality but of a fictional Nobody who can fabricate stories and characters that are irreproducible and creations of sheer genius. Once the subject of a narrative is unrestrained from a real life identity, it eventually becomes a Nobody. This paper shall examine Henry Fielding’s Tom Jones, who becomes a new citizen of England, with his status of a Foundling. According to Gallagher, ‘fiction can and does exist independent of the novel’, which was also a response to rise of individualism and middle class that made novel a dominant form. This brings into light the question of reality in 18th century, where identity becomes problematic in each novel. Tom Jones, with a fictitious title, insists on false identity that is discovered on the property of a wealthy landowner, Allworthy. Legally a bastard Tom’s inheritance of his family fortune is threatened according to the English Law. Gallagher suggests that the rise of fiction is from this ‘nobody’ who is indeed...

...Great Gatsby Final Paper F. Scott Fitzgerald’s novel The Great Gatsby has an epidemic with social class. Throughout this novel the narrator Nick Carroway shows examples of both the old money shunning the new money, and the rich shunning both the poor and the middle class. Jay Gatsby, or James Gatz, was shunned no matter where he sat on the social ladder. In the beginning Gatsby was shunned because he was poor, and in the end he was shunned because he was considered new money. This novel has highlighted that privilege decides hierarchy. Nick Carroway was no exception to the judgment from those with money. Gatsby used his money to convince Nick to do what he wanted, while Tom Buchanan did the exact same thing, throwing his money around to...

In the poem “The Chimney Sweeper” from “Songs of Innocence” This paper will evaluate and show the story and writing style dealing with social injustice. 1. Introduction a. The Chimney Sweeper 2. The Location and Era a. 18th and 19th Century England 3. Point of View a. Tom Dacre 4. Writing Style A. Lack of Rhyme 5. Conclusion William Blake’s “The Chimney Sweeper” from “Songs of Innocence” provides a view of extreme social injustice among children being used as chimney sweeps in 18th and 19th Century England. William Blake also in 1794 wrote “The Chimney Sweeper” in “Songs of Experience.” For this essay, the analysis will be of “The Chimney Sweeper” from “Songs of Innocence” written in 1789. This poem shows social injustice from the character’s eyes dealing with oppression, exploitations and death. The life that William Blake creates in “The Chimney Sweeper” is one of social and economic injustice, the use of child labor which leads to a society of that time being un-sympathetic to the needs of its children. Blake draws attention from the first stanza of the poem to a child that has already experienced the death of his mother and being sold into indentured servitude by the father before the child could even process the death and what...

...Introduction This paper aim at analyzing the concept of entrepreneurial leadership .Before starting our analysis, two important concepts need to be addressed: Leadership and Entrepreneurship. Leadership is directing or inspiring people to attain organizational goals (Boone and Kurtz, 2011). An entrepreneur is a person who seeks a profitable opportunity and takes the necessary risks to set up and operate a business (Boone and Kurtz, 2011). In the past 15 years researchers have tried to merge those two concepts into one concept Entrepreneurial Leadership .The common point of those researchers is that most defined some of the main elements of what they taught entrepreneurial leadership meant (Tarabishy, 2003). According to the research result of Ayman Tarabishy (2003) entrepreneurial leadership is one of an enterprising, transformational leader who operates in a dynamic market that offers lucrative opportunities. Entrepreneurial leaders are usually risk takers, driven, and can recognize when change will give an advantage. Entrepreneur leaders are engine of innovation, renewal, and job creation (Verheul, 2007). Entrepreneur leaders apply their talent in different situations and have different entrepreneurial approaches. Thesis Statement: In analyzing the importance of leading entrepreneurs to determine their entrepreneurial approaches one of each of the following categories will be addressed: (1) profit oriented, (2) social responsibility oriented; 3) personal approach and...

...When thinking about the topics for this assignment the first thing I had to do was analyze the relationship between the entrepreneurs from today and the entrepreneurs from yesteryears. The entrepreneurs from today can learn how to profit and be social responsibility by studying the leading entrepreneurs of the past. Throughout this paper I will analyze leadership styles and major principles for a profit-oriented entrepreneurial approach in which the primary goal to provide a product or service to consumers and to make a profit. Also their major business principles for a social-responsibility oriented entrepreneurial approach in which the primary is goal to make a positive impact on society (people, families, ecology, or similar) while providing a product or service to consumers and to make a profit. This paper will also show what three resources or tools available through the Small Business Administration and SCORE would be the most useful. When thinking of leadership style I would say Blake Mycoskie who is the founder of Toms has an authoritarian or autocratic leadership style. This style is used when leaders tell their employees what they want done and how they want it accomplished, without getting the advice of their followers. Some of the appropriate conditions to use it are when you have all the information to solve the problem, you are short on time, and your employees are well motivated. They have clear expectations for their team's performance, and they communicate...

...Case Study There were four symptoms in the groupthink that I felt were present in the case study. The first issue was Tom, Susie; Richard had all met before meeting with the other group members. They outlined what parts should be included in the team paper and who would get what section. Mark and Betty decided not to voice their opinions. The group decided that they were ok with the original plan for the assignment. They decided to turn the assignment in without the reference portion. Some specific actions that would exemplify these symptoms would be the original members of the group working together. They didn’t include the new group members. There was one person who basically got the go ahead on everything and that was Tom. The body language was noticeable and it made the new member feel uncomfortable. In the future the group should all meet together not separate and they should read the syllabus. Everyone should know the specific guidelines and rules which should be highlighted. Everyone should agree with their part in the assignment. There should be a meeting set weekly or emails sent and everyone should be updated on the project. Any problems should be addressed and taken care of beforehand. When it is close to time for the project to be turned in there should be a final review. Mark and Betty should have been more proactive by taking a stand on their position in the group. There weren’t taken seriously because they didn’t make it known that they were just as important...
