Many movies that are based on true stories are changed in one way or another, to make them more exciting for the audience.

Before both Patrick Hamilton’s play, as well as the film Gaslight, the word gaslight had a different meaning. The term gaslight used to be just that, a light lit with gas.

This particular rhetorical appeal is referred to as pathos. It is displayed multiple times throughout the trailer, but the one scene that most likely catches the audience’s eye first is the scene consisting of Michael walking on the side of the road one night in short sleeves and in below freezing weather. Mrs. Tuohy approaches him and ask him if he has anywhere to stay. Big Mike says he did, when in reality he really did not.

Another part of the movie, strikes, were the people’s way of refusing to work as a result of not getting their desires.
The movie Hoot is a funny family movie which I recommend to families to watch with their kids or grandkids. It is goofy and well made from the book. To summarize this movie was based off the book, which was made by Carl Hiaasen. It takes place in Coconut Cove Florida.

Schlink uses characterisation at the beginning of the novel to convey to the reader that Michael is a fifteen-year-old boy, anxious to grow up, struggling with the conflict internally that is felt by the majority of young adults.

Prior to meeting Hanna, he has had no intimate experiences but is attracted to her in a way he does not fully comprehend.”

In the movie, Brooklyn and in the story, “Days of Destruction, Days of Revolt” there are similarities and differences between the two based on each characters experience in America as an immigrant.
