Aesthetic Of Astonishment Analysis

The first act that he does is to rejuvenate the spirit of the inmates with his hilarious attitude. He asserts “…what I came to this establishment for, to bring you birds fun an’ entertainement”(11). He realizes that the first act to be done in a panic stricken world is to bring back laughter, one of the gifts human being forgot in their life. In the essay ‘Salvation Through Laughter: Ken Kesey and the Cuckoo’s Nest Stephen L. Tanner suggests that this differentiate Mcmurphy and the inmates of the asylum. There is no place for laughter in the Big Nurse’s smooth running machinery of manipulation, and the patients are conditioned in such a way that they are afraid of laughter (58).

In The Outsiders, S.E Hinton presents the idea that teenagers can break through stereotypes if they look at life through another perspective; as shown in the book when Ponyboy starts to talk to Cherry and Randy and realizes the stereotypes about them are false. One very important scene that reveals the theme is when Ponyboy and the the rest of his group go to the movies and meet two Socs, Cherry and Marcia. As the movie goes on, Ponyboy and Cherry continue to talk and realize that their prior thoughts they had about each other and each other’s group is false. For example, when Cherry says, that “things are rough all over” (Hinton 35). Stereotypically Socs have money, cars, and are supposed to have this perfect life

In the sixth chapter of the great Gatsby, Daisy, Nick, and Tom both go to one of Jay Gatsby’s parties. There, she danced with Gatsby and sat at tables with Nick when Gatsby had to take a phone call. Even though Daisy attended Gatsby’s party, “‘she didn’t have a good time’” (page 109). Gatsby expected Daisy to enjoy herself but got proven wrong, this represents situational irony, F. Scott Fitzgerald utilizes this form of irony to portray how Daisy requires some form of material object for her to feel happy, as shown in this chapter, she had the only option to socialize, which “She saw something awful in the very simplicity she failed to understand” (page 107). Situational irony also gets illustrated in this section of the chapter because wealthy

Analysis Assignment To shush or not to shush? That is the question. We have all been there- sitting in the movie theater, trying to engulf ourselves in a rich film, when a fellow moviegoer just can 't stop gabbing. Is a shush an appropriate response? In Phillip Lopate’s “Confessions of a Shusher”, Lopate uses exaggeratory satire, pace, and tone, to justify his position as a movie theater shusher.

Rainer Werner Fassbinder’s “In A Year of 13 Moons” was yet another risk taking film to produce and, as an audience member, watch. The film was released in 1978 so the fact that it has a protagonist, who was a cross dresser, really set this film apart. Usually films with this theme will make it very comedic, however Fassbinder uses lots of visual to express the emotion, and takes audience members on this journey to look deep into the characters. There were one scene when the character Erwin, played by Volker Spengler, was giving dialogue however while walking through a slaughterhouse. This scene was hard to watch but in fact was needed because what he was saying had a connection to every moment in the slaughterhouse.

On October 7th at 7:00 (ish) my friend and I went and saw Klein Oak's production of Strange Boarders. Now, to be honest, I think it's important to note that I didn't have very high of hopes but I was surprised. Let me tell you, it was something else. In the first act, the story was officially opened with Candy (Cordelia's *foster* daughter) walking on the stage alone and eventually gazing out the window at somebody, presumably a boy. Then the Professors character is introduced in and in my opinion, easily comprehensible, way; i.e.

It is full of foreshadowing, “Hotels like this aren’t interested when you come in but when your time is up…,” and sets the stage for the odd relationships and nature of the movie. In a time where the standard was the nuclear family, a risqué romance between two unmarried adults within just the opening pieces of the movie makes the audience somewhat appalled and intrigued. The sexual connotations and deviancy continues into the film as addressed in the parlor scene, just before Marion gets into the shower. Although this section of the film tends to get left behind by the shower scene, it really exemplifies the inner struggle that Norman faces with his sexual desires and his sexist attitudes toward women which were undoubtabley manifested in Norman by his mother. Norman even calls a woman a “doll” at one point.

Whereas Stanley is a brute guy, who without any problem would destroy past myth and create a new happy generation with his wife, Stella (49). Abbotson says that when the play was premiered after World War II, in a post-Freudian age, many were not pleased with the play 's ending (50). Though it was successful in the eye of the public because of its war references (Blanche 's meetings with soldiers and the lamenting on the war with Stanley and his friends) and therefore it became historically creditable. Moreover, the first director of A Streetcar Named Desire had seen Blanche as the play 's main character, although many critic complained that he sympathized more with Stanley 's

In disturbing Ophelia, Hamlet’s madness reaches the ears of her highly influential father, who says to her, “Come, we go to the King” (2.1. 130) . Their subsequent report provokes the interest of the royal couple, who send Rosencrantz and Guildenstern to learn more. Hamlet then ups the ante, persisting in his act around Polonius himself. This only serves to heighten the concerns of the king, so much so that he devises a plot to discern the cause of the prince’s madness for himself.

As Nancy Snow, writes in her book Information War: American Propaganda, Free Speech and Information Control since 9-11, ‘Critical thinking ends when propaganda begins’. Before the invention of film, it was newspapers, public meetings and rallies. But perhaps none would wield as much influence as cinema. It was in 1896 that the Lumiere Brothers invented the motion camera. The earliest films were mere documents of very natural and normal activities but they overwhelmed the audiences.

Other people argue that Benvolio is to blame because he instructed Romeo to go to the Capulets’ party, but this argument is weak because Romeo didn’t have to agree to go. When Benvolio asks Romeo to go to the party, he agrees to go, “‘I’ll go along.’” (1.2.103) Understanding who holds the majority of the blame for the deaths in Romeo and Juliet helps people understand the play because it gives the deaths and overall plot more sense in why everything happened the way it did. Human nature has its flaws, and the blame for the deaths in this play exaggerates how humans behave
