Kelly Clarkson Essays

obtaining it? Well, that reigns true for Kelly Clarkson. All she wanted was to be a singer, and for her music to be known by others. She had to overcome many obstacles just to make it to Hollywood. However, when she was there, nobody seemed to believe in her or her musical talents. She did not let that slow her down though, and now she is known worldwide as one of the best pop singers out there, with three Grammys under her wing to prove it. Kelly Clarkson has the strength to overcome many obstacles

"And that is why i cannot stand taxi's! Thanks for watching and don't forget to like and subsribe!" I wink and turn the camera off, the usual routine. Honestly, being a youtuber is hard work, especially one trying (and mostly failing) to climb the social ladder. Hours of editing and tweeting and talking to a camera can definitely take a toll on a 20 year old, but what can i say, it's a passion. I slip into my favourite TRXYE sweater and step out of the door into the harsh Australian winter; i

Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, An American Slave was written by Frederick Douglass himself, and was published in 1845. Douglass takes the readers through his own experience with American slavery while holding back very little. Douglass’s narrative goes on a journey beginning in his birthplace, Talbot County, Maryland. While Douglass mainly focuses on his own experiences with the American slave trade, he also shares the trials and tribulations of those around him throughout the book

Frederick Douglass, a former slave and slave writer of the An American Slave, Writer by Himself, shares his personal experience of being a slave. He was slave from the time he was born to about twenty years old. Unlike most slaves during his time, he was exceptionally intelligent. While he was slave, he established a secret Sabbath to teach his fellow slaves. In the paragraph above, he demonstrates an individualist and a collectivist personality. Throughout Douglass’ slave narrative, he discussed

Learning to Read and Write Frederick Douglass was an African-American social reformer, abolitionist, orator, writer, and statesman. He was born on February 1818 in Maryland. Douglas’s mother is named Harriet Bailey, and his father is an unknown white man rumored to be Douglass’s own master. Douglass was a firm believer in the equality of all peoples, whether black, female, Native American, or recent immigrant. He was also a believer in dialogue and in making alliances across racial and ideological

The comparison of Douglas Adam’s novel The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy written in 1979 and James Cameron’s 2009 film Avatar examines the consequences of valuing technology and a transformation of an individual through self-actualisation. Despite the difference in the transition from the 1970s, the beginning of modern computing to the 21st century, the period of Digital Revolution and the increasing rise in Third World consumerism, some aspects of human nature remain consistent. Both texts explore

The Character Evolution Of Jeff and the Realizations he Faces Rear Window by Alfred Hitchcock is a film full of symbolism and motifs that provides viewers with a bigger meaning. It shows these rhetorical appeals through Hitchcock’s eyes that would not be recognized if not analyzed. Through these appeals I have recognized the window as being a symbol and marriage and binoculars as motifs. After understanding much more than what the eye initially sees when viewing this film, there is a fine line between

“We’ve become a nation of peeping toms,” states James Stewart’s nurse, played by Thelma Ritter, in Alfred Hitchcock’s 1954 film Rear Window. Ritter’s comment ironically foreshadows events later in the film, but simultaneously provides a critique of the voyeuristic nature of cinema itself. Rear Window’s marketing campaign and public reception both center on the notion of ‘peeping,’ but present differing standpoints on Hitchcock’s exhibition and apparent promotion of the morbid curiosity at the root

Alfred Hitchcock’s film “Rear Window” illustrates the ideas on how jeff’s vo yeuristic behaviour coincide throughout the movie. The obsession of the protaganist in observing his neighbourhood resulted in solving a murder cause and helps to fix his relationships to his fiancé. This motion suggest that Hitchcock take a stance on Jeffries voyeurism as this character gained a lot of positive outcome through this impulsive and unworrying behaviour. The author also used some supporting characters like

It had been claimed that Ned Kelly had taken up arms in April 1878 for the intention of shooting police but as six months had passed since the alleged shooting of Constable Fitzpatrick (who would later be dismissed from the police force as a liar, drunkard and perjurer) and the Stringybark Creek tragedy, there was not a robbery or any other offence reported of having been committed by Ned or his brother Dan. After his mother was convicted (and two innocent men) for aiding and abetting in the shooting

People seem naturally curious of others, Hitchcock discusses the idea of privacy and a human’s natural interest in others’ private lives. Rear Window becomes a classic film not just as a Hitchcock film but an introspective idea about human nature. Hitchcock uses the medium to show a part of him and the curiosities he wants to delve into with the concept of voyeurism. Using film techniques, such as the placement of the camera to the music, Hitchcock becomes transcendent with the genre of thriller

Rear Window (1984) directed by Alfred Hitchcock depicts an injured and house-ridden photographer peering out into the local neighbourhood and discovering something gruesome. The film explores many themes such as voyeurism and morality in a grey light that leaves the audience unclear of what morals the film suggests. However, Rear Window morals strongly suggest that individuals must not delve into the personal affairs of others. Characters in the film such as Tom Doyle and Stella provide a voice of

In Rear Window, Alfred Hitchcock explores the ambiguous nature of voyeurism, yet argues human nature vindicates the “harm in looking”. To reel audiences into the debate, Hitchcock presents them with the commonplace, knee-jerk response to voyeurism for consideration. Situating the viewer into the cynical protagonist’s perspective, the structure of the set enables the audience to “look” from Jeff’s rear window into the screens of his neighbours as a source of entertainment. Yet, Hitchcock elucidates

Frederick Douglass, social reformer, writer, and abolitionist, was born into slavery in Talbot County, Maryland. His exact birthday remains unknown, but believed to be born around 1818. His mother died when he was around the age of 10, after only seeing her a few times. At this young age, he was chosen to work in the home of a plantation owner, who is believed to be his father. At around the age of 12, he was sent to Baltimore to work for Hugh Auld. Hugh Auld’s wife Sophia, taught Douglass the alphabet

The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass is Frederick Douglass’s autobiography in which Douglass goes into detail about growing up as a slave and then escaping for a better life. During the early-to-mid 1800s, the period that this book was written, African-American slaves were no more than workers for their masters. Frederick Douglass recounts not only his personal life experiences but also the experiences of his fellow slaves during the period. This book was aimed at abolitionists, so he

"Ambition is a very dangerous thing because either you achieve it and your life ends prematurely, or you don't, in which case your life is a constant source of disappointment" (Jeremy Clarkson). To avoid failure one must follow through extreme measures. In William Shakespeare's Macbeth and Guy de Maupassant's The Vendetta, this concept is demonstrated. The protagonist in Macbeth encounters the battle with himself and others to reach full sovereignty. And The Vendetta involves who feels the need to

Frederick Douglass was born to Harriot Bailey on February, 1818 in a slave cabin on Aaron Anthony 's plantation. The identity of his father is unknown due to him being separated from his mother at an early age, however, it is rumored that Anthony could have been the possible father; it was common for slave-owners to have affairs with their slaves. Douglass grew up away from his mother and was raised by his grandparents before becoming a slave at the age of six. Although he faced many hardships growing

He, in detail, explains how contradicting the Constitution and the actual society in that time period were to each other. Douglass’ purpose of writing this novel was to not only

Camera narration is crucial to the effect the movie has on its audience. It is noticed that the viewer rarely gets close to the apartments or characters across the courtyard. The viewpoint is mainly fixed to Jeff’s apartment, apart from a few occasions where the camera plunges out of the window. The fronts of the buildings facing the main street are never shown either; instead all of the action takes place within the mystery and secrecy of the backyard, hence the title name ‘Rear’ Window. Perhaps

People view a hero as someone who works to save people from any sort of evil. A hero is meant to be “perfect”. In contrast, an Aristotelian tragic hero suffers a single great flaw, leading to their ultimate downfall. The flaw is known as hubris, which is defined as excessive pride. These elements are found in William Shakespeare’s tragic play, Macbeth. Macbeth begins the play as a war hero, but in the end, he is killed for his evil ambitions. Throughout the play, Macbeth makes choices that affect
