Abstract Expressionism
... abstract painting was capable of evoking a spiritual
experience. A central figure of German Expressionism, Kandinsky, in 1911,
began to paint densely layered composition of free-floating lines and areas
of color, with the intention to reveal his desire to instill visual form
with the properties of music. By 1915, Malevich had invented a new,
abstract visual set of paintings consisting of one or more colored
geometric shapes on a white field. He visualized a state of feeling, and a
sense of bliss and wonder. Mondrian took a different approach with tighter
geometric orientation and stricter compositional order. He was also
inspired by landscape but he interpre ...

Analysis Of Clockwork Orange
... until he is caught. His parents provide for him, but only in a financial light. What good is it if his parents don’t get involved in his extracurricular activities. He goes out all night doing wrong, and his parents think he’s out working, c’mon!! In today’s society, many parents are at the source of why a child may start to commit crimes.

Jay Vs. Dave: Battle Of The Late Night Television
... to see who can be the first one to pluck today’s new shining star from the top of the Hollywood Christmas tree. The Sammy Sosa’s and Pamela Anderson’s of the “oh so important” cast of role models for the year 2000. Or maybe they might grab a few bulbs from the bottom of the Christmas tree and put them o top for a day. Both Jay and Dave will play host to some folks in the regular sectors of the world to display their talent, like sucking milk up their nose with a straw or the dog who can play basketball. The wide variety of guests and skits they use, try and hit their opponent with an “ I had them first uppercut”, still has no effect on the format of either ...

Madness In Macbeth And Hamlet
... Ophelia tells us that before the events of the play Hamlet was a model courtier, soldier and scholar, "The glass of fashion and the mould of form,/ The observed of all observers." A modern boy scout to say the least, but as the play unwinds, his actions and thoughts catch him and slowly turn him insane. Not to say that he was a crazed madman out of touch with reality as was Ophelia, but a man driven crazy by thought. Hamlet's behavior throughout the play, especially towards Ophelia is inconsistent. He jumps into Ophelia's grave, and fights with Laertes in her grave. He professes "I loved Ophelia. Forty thousand brothers/Could not, with all their quantity of ...

Violence On The Tube
... Rathus in Psychology in the New Millennium, observational
learning may account for most human learning (239). Observational learning
extends to observing parents and peers, classroom learning, reading books, and
learning from media such as television and films. Nearly all of us have been
exposed to television, videotapes, and films in the classroom. Children in day-
care centers often watch Sesame Street. There are filmed and videotaped
versions of great works of literature such as Orson Welles' Macbeth. Nearly
every school shows films of laboratory experiments.
But what of our viewing outside of the classroom? Television is also

Tennessee Williams’ A Streetcar Named Desire: Tragic And Comic Elements
... being whether it is a tragedy with accidental comic incidences or a comedy with weak melodramatic occurrences. It has been said that the “double mask of tragicomedy reveals the polarity of the human condition.” The contrariety of forces in the work serves to enforce a sense of both reality and drama that are present in everyday human life. The comic elements in the play serve as a form of determined self-preservation just as the tragic elements add to the notion of self-destruction. This is the true nature of a tragicomedy. By juxtaposing two irreconcilable positions, ambiguity is produced in the judgement of the main characters, most notably Stanley Kowalski an ...

Death Of A Salesman: Willy's Life
... out
loud to himself about his obsessions. I don’t know if that is a symptom of
Alzheimer’s or not, but I believe the author was trying to show that he
wasn’t in a right state of mind. The author explains this as too many years
on the road and too much pressure to succeed.
His family and friends keep referring to him as a good man, but I
don’t see that. As they flashback to the past and show him with his sons he
is still the obsessive man that he is in the present, it’s just in the past
his sons are successful in school. The Qualities Willy tries to instill in
his kids are to be well liked, and have a strong mind for business. In the
past he was a great dad, but ...
