...The Broadway show American Idiot takes its audience on a journey through the trials and tribulations of 3 young men growing up in America saturated in media and unsure of just who they truly are. The musical is an extravagant display of visual media, dazzling the viewers and leaving them wondering how to divide their attention among all the different things happening on stage. However, despite this strength, the show lacks character development as well as sufficient plot motivation. The plot of the show is easy enough to describe. Three boys, dissatisfied with their humdrum suburban existence decide to hit the road and find something out there more exciting than their hometown. However, Will (Michael Esper), one of the boys is sidetracked when his girlfriend Heather (Mary Faber) informs him that she is pregnant with his child. The other two boys, Johnny (the main character, played by John Gallagher, Jr.) and Tunny (Stark Sands) leave Will behind and head off to make their way in the world. Soon Tunny enlists in the army, and Johnny gets hooked on heroin, creating an alter ego named St. Jimmy (Tony Vincent). As the show goes on, Johnny falls for a woman named Whatshername (Rebecca Naomi Jones), but their relationship is destroyed by St. Jimmy, or his addiction. Tunny loses his leg in battle, but gains love in the form of a woman named The Extraordinary Girl (Christina Sajous). Heather gives birth, but ends up leaving Will due to his alcoholism and general apathy. Eventually...

...feel that this award was not made to me as a man, but to my work” (http://www.nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/literature/laureates/1949/faulkner-speech.html). The Nobel Prize is what made William Faulkner known to the American public, as even though his work was majorly written in early 1900’s, it wasn’t appreciated till 1949. This is what made him as one of the most celebrated writers in the field of American literature in his time. As per the information on William Faulkner, 13 novels and a lot of other short stories were published by him by 1920. This included the famous novels like “As I lay Dying”, “The sound and the Fury”, and “Light in August”. On the day of William Faulkner receiving the Nobel Prize, he stated in his speech: “the young man or woman writing today has forgotten the problems of the human heart in conflict with itself which alone can make good writing because only that is worth writing about, worth the agony and the sweat.” (http://www.nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/literature/laureates/1949/faulkner-speech.html) His most of writing focused on the conflicts that humans face within himself/herself. Every human has a fight within themselves that they need to win before they can win any war in this world. Unless the war within is not conquered, no victory outside will present any satisfaction and this is a very important aspect for a writer to understand. Let’s look at William Faulkner’s point of view from some of his own writings. In a four part series “The...

...After W.I.C.K.E.D. realized that The Flare was far more out of hand than they originally planned for, they combined forces with other countries to find and create a cure. Something they found out was that a vast majority of the youngest generation alive at the time were immune to The Flare. So, they selected children (both immune and non-immune), to go to the W.I.C.K.E.D. Compound and undergo some tests. Physical tests, problem-solving tests, medical tests, you name it. These kids had to go through this, some a young as five years old. Once the children got to be teenagers, W.I.C.K.E.D. chose those who they felt would be most promising to help find a cure, and sent them into the Maze Trials. The Maze Trials, was a “controlled” experiment with multiple different variables. Such as: Grievers, the Maze shifting during the night, and the walls. As you can imagine, it took sometime for the Maze to be built, who do you think programmed everything? Designed the layout? Chose the variables? It was actually the two most important people in “The Maze Runner” series. Thomas and...

...person can have, he is an idiot. Our intentions aren’t about supporting the community of mentally handicapped people here by saying he has a gift, but to know a person, just like knowing animals, you have to get inside their heads. So we definitely don’t want to have negative badges on ourselves. Reading this section is specifically hard because we have to think like an idiot, and to achieve this matter we have to reinforce our sensory stimuli. Benjamin has no concept of time or place, he does as he pleased, and in order to extract his thoughts you should find the love of his life, who is obviously Caddy (Candace). Every single smell, place or sound can evoke his feelings toward Caddy, meaning that for example noticing a swing in the present can bring him back to the past and even thinking about the past can bring him to deeper levels of his past; or when Dilsey called Miss Quentin for the meal, he immediately remember the time with Quentin (his brother) who is in this specific part, the stimuli for his reminiscent. Although most of his memories are about Candace, he has other flashbacks to other characters in the novel too. These time lapses or flashbacks are the central orientation of this section. Since Benjamin’s mind is extremely disoriented, we have to find the right pieces of puzzles in order to make the final interpretation of what he says. There are nearly 16 different time periods in this section, adding the perplexed consciousness of the idiot, it will be a...

...Car surfing just for idiots. By ******* For the British newspaper… Hello. I want to write something to your article in the paper yesterday. Here’s my opinion for car surfing: I don’t have any idea, for what’s going on in their head. I think it’s sick, and I don’t understand why young people want to do that. Car surfing is dangerous, and I think that YouTube has an effect on the young people. When they see these videos on the internet, they think they can do it too. They don’t think about the consequences, before some of their friends, who do it, die or getting hurt. I don’t think that we can blame YouTube for car surfing, and other stuff, but when young people see it, they want to do it. That’s it. If there were videos where people get serious hurt, they may will stop doing it. Young people must had it cut out of cardboard! Young people today do a lot off foolish things, but I think it’s a part of being young. Their behaviour is not all ways the best. They often drink to really much, and walk around in a fog. They do things like stealing food, cars and other things. They’ll fight, and they’ll beat up people they haven’t met before, and they just think it’s funny. There’s a lot of things young people do, there is really stupid. As I mention before, they steal. Stealing is a big thing, like car surfing is. They may do because they think they’re cool or something like that. They’re taking drugs, beside they are drinking, and driving, and May there’s sitting someone on the...

...Azim Ali Ali 1 Film Analysis of 3 Idiots and Societal Impacts on Individualism There is a classical Hindu scripture and story part of the Mahabharata called the Bhagavad Gita. In this story, one can tell the importance of sacrifice and dharma in Indian society. A legendary archer, Arjuna, has a major dilemma in the story in which he was to go to battle and fight, as he was a Kshatriya (warrior caste), or to not fight because he was going into battle to fight his uncles and aunts. Arjuna asked his chariot driver, an incarnation of Krishna, what he should do, and the driver told Arjuna to obey his dharma and fight just as his duty entailed him to and fight his loved ones. The dilemma that Arjuna experiences in the Bhagavad Gita is the same as the one many of the characters in 3 Idiots face. 3 Idiots is the perfect amalgamation of how dharma and izit affect one’s life in South Asia. Throughout the film, there were stories of characters facing the problem of being accepted in society as something other than what their parents wished them to be or do. 3 Idiots is a great movie that pushes the idea that duty and izit is not limited to family pressures or societal pressures, but also it pushes the idea that duty and izit can come from within and from individualism. The movie is a story of how three friends faced the major issues and problems with the education system in India and around the world. Three main characters: Rancho, Raju, and Farhan all coming from different...

...look for a quick escape from the problems, which they face, in their day-to-day lives. This quick escape can be found in the shape of a bottle. In the eyes of an underage drinker, alcohol is the cure to all problems, a way to forget all of stress and pressures that are facing them. They feel that it will numb their pain and continuing to use alcohol will result in maybe another problem, substance abuse. Popularity shouldn’t come along with breaking the law. Also, the cure to the problems in someone’s life isn’t breaking the law, because the affects alcohol has on the body causes a lot more issues down the road. Alcohol use is extremely common in our society. Young ones grow up watching their parents drink, at special occasions, as well as casually enjoying a few beers at a picnic. Now a day’s kids and young adults are surrounded by the use of alcohol on a daily basis. Underage drinking not only has devastating effects on those who drink but also on our society. Many parents don’t feel the need to have a talk with their kids about the consequences of underage drinking. Q As children approach their teen years, they begin to experience many emotional and physical changes, and these changes are not always easy. During this challenging time, some children may...

...as “preserving a central episode in Joyce's life, an episode he will endlessly recapitulate. The boy in "Araby," like the youthful Joyce himself, must begin to free himself from the nets and trammels of society. That beginning involves painful farewells and disturbing dislocations” (349). The story “Araby” is a short memoir of James Joyce’s life as a young boy. Growing up in a predominantly Catholic republic in Dublin Ireland, the unreliable narrator somehow felt alienated, introspective, and at times disappointed. Being a part of a community where there is one religion can have influence the way one sees the world. Corresponding to the unreliable narrator in “Araby”, Abraham Rodriguez from “The Boy without a Flag” is affected by the environment he lives in. Overcome with defiance, the two characters become resistant: one resisting being a part of a bizarre place and the other resisting to conforming to an American tradition. In the two short stories, hypocrisy, disappointment, and religion and beliefs are themes that successfully illustrate their resistance. False hopes and discovering actuality through personal caused the young narrators to resist and resent; Resisting being a part of the atmospheres they dwelled in. James Joyce refers to religion throughout “Araby” to indicate his animosity towards the Catholic Church and Catholicism entirely. The narrator’s standpoint on hypocrisy in religion becomes vivid throughout the story. The story begins in a community that is drab...

However, the development of the story surprised me a lot. Miss Strangeworth is an absolutely different person inside. “Didn’t you every see an idiot child before? Some people just shouldn’t have children, should they?” This is a part of a letter from Miss Strangeworth to Don and Helen Crane. They are young parents and have a six months old daughter who develops a little bit slowly. Miss Strangeworth describes the little baby as an idiot in the letter which is very rude and impolite. She uses mean words to judge others unruly. She is not a kind person inside. This kind of things always happens in our society. For instance, hypocritical politicians always say one thing and do another. Zhou Yongkang, a member of the Politburo Standing Committee of the CPC Central Committee in China, once said “People should always discipline themselves to be away from greed.” Ironically, he grafts almost two hundred million dollars covertly. Secondly, Miss Strangeworth can represent a dictator. “My grandfather built the first house on Pleasant Street...

...Inadequate Role Models On the surface Disney Princess films appear to be innocent tales about happy endings. Upon closer inspection, they are almost always stories about damsels in distress that are hardly sufficient role models for young girls. Impressionable youth delve into these movies while their parents are unaware or uninterested of the implications these movies have. In some cases, one can find violations of women’s basic rights as human beings. These rights are outlined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and John Locke’s Of Civil Government. For example, Disney Princesses almost never have the right to their own property, much less ownership of their own bodies. They are also portrayed as obedient wives with offensive flaws that are later corrected by their husbands. Disney delineates a helpless, subservient role for women in society that undermines the work of feminists such as Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and all those involved with the Seneca Falls Convention; this portrayal encourages young women to put up with violations against their basic rights as human beings. In Disney Princess movies, women hardly ever have the right to their own property and in some cases, have no right to their own bodies. According to John Locke, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, “One Woman, One Vote”, and the Declaration of Sentiments and Resolutions, these conditions violate their basic right to their property as human beings. In the film Aladdin, all...

...Land Without Bread by Luis Bunuel There are numerous ethnographic surrealist films that have an intriguing relationship to aesthetics and politics. A film that exemplifies this relationship is “Las Hurdes: Tierra Sin Pan” (Land Without Bread). This film is only 27-minutes and is directed by the infamous Luis Bunuel in 1933. Bunuel was a Spanish filmmaker of the 1920’s to the 1970’s. He is often attributed to being one of the major contributors to the surrealist movement of the 1920’s. “Ethnographic surrealism is a utopian construct, a statement at once about past and future possibilities for cultural analysis.”(Clifford, 119) ‘Land Without Bread’ has a clear connection between politics and aesthetics. It uses many techniques, specifically the narrator and soundtrack, in order to enhance the ostensible political meaning of the film as well as link it to the ethnographic surrealist movement. Many ethnographic surrealist artists turned their attention to the problem of representing otherness. “Bunuel identified what he saw as a Surrealist tendency to “use” bourgeois society’s ‘other’s’ to negate the cultural status quo while never giving these others their due”(Lastra, 55). Land Without Bread is considered one of the earliest forms of ethnographic surrealism. Fatimah Rony describes Ethnographic cinema as “above all a cinema of the body: the focus is on the anatomy and gestures of the indigenous person, and on the body of the land they inhabit”(Rony, 111). While many film scholars...

...The person that Swaminathan Iyer is It has taken 19 years. 19 long years of writing useless answers to useless questions (Not accounting for the three years I was unable to hold a pen/pencil properly. Make no mistake, I’m 22), of filling bundles of valuable paper with non-sense, for me to place my lazy bum on this chair to answer the most pertinent of questions (and here I am, not wasting paper anymore. Oh! The irony!), who is Swaminathan Iyer? Disclaimer : To make things easy for me for the rest of my Iliad, Swaminathan Iyer will be shortened to Swami. Its short, and to tell you the truth, I prefer it that way. And then, when I think about it once the initial surprise of not thinking about this question wears off, isn’t it obvious for me to actually know myself before I pen this? Ok, type this. That is something which takes time, even years perhaps. One has to wait for the right time. But then, how does one know when the right time has come? There, I came up with this philosophical gem! The right time is when you decide its the right time. To tell you the truth, this is harder than it first seemed, but necessary. So, without further ado, let me just get down to it. As preparation for this article, I decided to do some research, I watched some interviews on YouTube to see what exactly interviewers asked the interviewees, to broadcast their life to a wider audience, but then I stumbled upon the Arnab Goswami-Rahul Gandhi interview and decided that I had had enough.
