... back, relax, and watch two men(or women) dance around a ring and beat the brains out of each other. God I love America! Even on basic cable we have these wonderful children's programs like The Mighty Morphine Power Rangers, cartoons (eventhogh I love them), and the V.R. Troopers, to name a couple. Surprise! they are either based on fighting or getting smashed by trucks and we laugh and we love it. It's hard to beat watching someone else beat up on after you just had a bad day. Football and hockey, can't beat them but no one really cares about the principle of the game we all just want to see the big hits. When watching football highlights the things they lo ...
... a man in the house and getting Laura married off quickly, and it almost seems like she enjoys having problems and hecticness in her life. She handles all these problems with pride and confidence, even though she doesn't always hold that confidence. Amanda is always wanting to have a greater impact on others lives and be held responsible for anything good that happens to someone. She has such an amazing amount of endurance that she emotionally supports the entire family. You are able to see that she will never give up on her dreams for Tom and Laura, and although she may be cruel showing this at times, she is always loving. She's the type of woman you would thi ...
... has many human traits. Two of these traits are speaking English and walking upright. Something else that adds to this is that sometimes children cannot make the distinction between fantasy and reality. Quickly a cartoon about a man hunting a rabbit can turn into a story of murder. Another cartoon character that may harm children is Yosimite Sam. When he becomes angry, he begins to fire his pair of guns into the air and at other characters. This could cause children to act violently to appease their anger. This includes hitting and throwing things. This is an extreme view of the situation, but who is to say that at least part of it is not true? Chil ...
... is a sincere and wise manner; however his advise is nothing but hollow words without feeling. As he says: borrowing dulleth edge of husbandry. This above all, to thine own self be true,/ And it must follow, as the night the day,/ Thou canst not then be false to any man,"(I iii,ln 80) It is clear that his first priority, in talking to his son, is to teach him to act proper, to keep up his own appearance, and not to wish him well. From his later actions, one can see that Laetres honor is what concerens him the most, not his well being. When Polonius feels it necessary to send a spy to keep an eye on him, he once again expresses his lack of trust for anyon ...
... to the ground for holding the beliefs that they did. When India was declared independent the people were joyed, but the British government had a catch they stated that the Pakistanis and the Muslims must be separated . As intended the country became up roared with each other starting a war between the two cultures. At this time Gandhi began one of many fast that he had taken in his life crumbling his health to near death in declaration of the cease of the war and to demonstrate his strong disbelief in violence. He followed religiously the life stages of the Hindu religion, living a life of poverty, devoting himself to manual labor, the spinning of homespun cloth ...
... King of Scotland and blamed it on his son. It worked and he became King, however he remembered the witches' prophecies. They claimed that Macbeth would be King, but it would be Banquo's children that would follow after him. This made Macbeth very angry, he risked everything to become King and after him none of his family will follow. Only for them; and mine eternal jewel Given to the common enemy of man, To make them kings, the seeds of Banquo kings! [Act III, S I, L 72-75] Here Macbeth realizes that if something is not done to Banquo, then his sons will become King. Macbeth can't have this, he's a ...
... in this regard. It is the familiarity with Willy Loman that is the endearing quality which draws the audience closer to him. Through identification with his struggles and pains an appreciation of his plight is achieved. This identification is universal. The universality of identification is, among those reading or viewing the play, a bonding force for persons of every station. Miller’s success in this point is bred from each viewer’s own sentiment for Willie Loman. Another point by Miller is that, “the tragic feeling is invoked in us when we are in the presence of a character who is willing to lay down his life... to secure one thing- his sense of ...
... of fear, beguiled Adam. In Macbeth, Lady Macbeth and the witches, succumbing to greed, corrupted Macbeth. Lady Macbeth's actions parallel those of the witches. The witches planted the idea that Macbeth should become king. Lady Macbeth followed through with this idea by pushing Macbeth to kill Duncan. "... a very definition of the weird sisters - calling on them to unsex her to cram her with cruelty from top to toe..." (Bloom 29). This quote illustrates the connection between Lady Macbeth and the witches, showing us that they both participated in Macbeth's moral decline. Shakespeare, it seems, utilizes the symbol of the witches to portray the basic evil inhe ...
... faced the slave;_" Macbeth defended his king's honor as well as his own, as Shakespeare showed a good man never backed down from a foe. In the later acts of the play, Shakespeare furthered the definition of a good man by portraying what a bad one was not. In Macbeth's darkest hours, he showed no sign of prudence and logic as he slayed king Duncan, and hired assassins to murder his friend Banquo. Macbeth displayed his temerity in act IV scene 1 saying, "_from this moment The very firstlings of my heart shall be The firstlings of my hand. And even now, To crown my thoughts with acts, be it thought and done;_ " Macbeth was no longer the logical, thinking man whom ...
... an arena for discussion about the programs. I will present to you what is available out there and hypothesize how this can enhance or alter one's experience with television. Included in this paper will be actual responses from individuals around the world who responded to a survey I posted on various internet newsgroups devoted to specific television shows. The most relevant responses are attached as an appendix at the end of this paper. I will first briefly define the terms that I will use to avoid any ambiguities. When I refer to the internet, I refer to the vast encyclopedia of information presented through a graphical interface as pages, or web sites. Newsgrou ...
