... slightly larger 64. On the front page of the tabloid, you also notice that there is only one main story (in fact only one story of any kind). A huge head-line and a largish, colourful picture half take up the front page. There are only a couple of lines of text (often only giving a brief outline) be-fore you are told to turn to one of the inner pages. There is only nor-mally one large photograph on the front page but The Telegraph also has a humorous cartoon that relates to the main story. The photos in the broadsheet are needed to draw the reader’s attention to the paper but also to make the large blocks of text seem less intimidat-ing. The newspapers also have lo ...



Macbeth: Supernatural Influences

... a gloomy dismal atmosphere on a barren stretch of land where the witches will conduct their sorcery and witchcraft. During the meeting on the heath, one of the witches is conversing how she is going to “tempest-tossed”(I,iii,26) a ship and make the captain ill. “I’ll give thee a wind” and “drain him dry as hay sleep shall neither night nor day.”(I,iii,12). This spell is cast due to the fact that the captain’s wife would not give the witch a chestnut. Another hag is bragging about a thumb she has acquired “Here I have a pilot’s thumb”(I,iii,29). These are the first actions that are observed of the witches and the menacing force that is at work. When the wit ...

... spectrum is Laertes. As soon as Laertes hears of his father Polonius's murder, the rampageous son rushes back to Denmark and, with a crowd of followers, burst into the castle prepared to kill his father's murderer. Laertes, in great contrast to Hamlet, takes immediate action. Finally, Fortinbras represents the middle path of revenge. He does not miss the knock of opportunity because of over analysis, nor does he act too swiftly to realize whom he should attack. In the end of the play, Fortinbras arrives just as everyone is dying and does not have to exert a great deal of strength to accomplish his task because the others have killed one another. Each character ...



The Powerful Persuasion Of Plebeians

... be with the same sword that killed Caesar. Brutus also tries to appeal to the audience's logical sense by describing the conspirators' motives and blaming Caesar for being ambitious. His main reason for the deed committed by his colleagues and him was their pride and duty to his country. Being general in his statements left the crowd to understand more easily Brutus’s side of the story and accept him and what he did. Antony begins his speech with an innocent eulogy, but instead incites his audience into a riot, looking for Brutus's death and wrongfully killing Cinna the Poet. He does this by appealing to their emotions. Bringing Caesar's body for everyone to ...

... to uphold law and order. Rhetorically, the moon, symbolizes instability, not only because it does not remain the same size to one's eyes as time passes, but because it reigns the ebb and flow of the tides. Therefore, as a knight guided by moonlight, Falstaff is a dissenter against law and order. This conclusion finds support in his witty tautologies and epithets. Falstaff is invariably aware that Hal will one day become king, and when that happens, robbers will be honored in England by “Let[ting] us be indulgence Diana's foresters, gentlemen of the shade, monions of the moon; and let[ting] men say we be men of good government, being governed as the sea is, ...

... away by the police from Sam Spade's apartment. The shadows of the elevator cage bars depict those of bars in jail. During The Big Sleep, an extreme amount of shadowing constantly keeps the viewer wondering who's who. Also, translucency used on the windows of the house only allows the viewer to see a silhouette of the unidentified person on the other side of the window. Neither Marlowe nor the viewer know the mysterious person watching Marlowe through the windows. Keeping the viewer on the edge of their seat plays a key role in why these movies are so popular even though they are over 50 years old. Film noir movies might also keep attracting people because noi ...



Apocalypse Now And Heart Of Darkness

... to purge themselves of a perceived evil. This came to be known as the Salem witch trials. During World War II, Germany made an attempt to overrun Europe. What happened when the Nazis came into power and persecuted the Jews in Germany, Austria and Poland is well known as the Holocaust. Here, humanís evil side provides one of the scariest occurrences of this century. Adolf Hitler and his Nazi counterparts conducted raids of the ghettos to locate and often exterminate any Jews they found. Although Jews are the most widely known victims of the Holocaust, they were not the only targets. When the war ended, 6 million Jews, Slavs, Gypsies, homosexuals, Jehovah's Witnesse ...



Religion Is The Opiate Of The Masses

... house is an intellectual stimulus? hell no. TV is designed to be brain candy for the weak-minded and ignorant. The internet is more useful and I might add, stimulating. This is a medium in which you can interact and communicate with others instead of sitting on your ass drooling watching itchy and scratchy. There are honestly interesting sites available on this medium. I have heard people call television the "one-eyed monster", this simply suggests to me that this person is obviously poor-bred or simply ignorant. Television can be used to convey pornography, religion, drug use, love, or any other possible subject to be dealt with. The actual machine itself ...

... although large differences do exist. The central cultural attitudes toward death and afterlife in this film can be summed up by a quotation from Jake's chiropractor (who can also be seen as his guardian angel), who said, "The only thing that burns in hell is the part of you that won't let go of your life, your memories, your attachments, they burn it all away. But they aren't punishing you, they're freeing your soul." The chiropractor also says that the way he sees it, "If you're frightened of dieing and you keep trying to hold on you'll see devils tearing your life away. If you've made your peace then the devils are really angels, freeing you from the earth." ...

... be the part where he finds Juliet dead. He cared so much for her that he killed himself. In the book Romeo says some things that reflect on his personality. "Did my heart love till now? Forswear it, sight, / For I ne'er saw true beauty till this night."(Act 1 Sc. 5 Ln. 59-60) Romeo easily becomes infatuated with girls. "With Rosaline, my ghostly Father? No. / I have forgot that name and that name's woe." (Act 2 Sc. 3 Ln. 48-49) Romeo easily forgets about the girl he was so sad about and Juliet replaces his memory of her with happy ones. "O, I am Fortune's fool!" (Act 3 Sc. 1 Ln. 142) He felt that fate liked to play around with him. I think Romeo was thinking ab ...
