Entertainment > Movie Characters & Performances Top 10 Johnny Depp characters: 3 of 19
Another Johnny Depp fan here to swoon and pine over his marvelous acting abilities and genius. It is important to note that Johnny is known more for his characters rather than his movies. Unlike Vin Diesel who is only known for his action flicks or Keanu Reeves who unmistakably plays the same unemotional characters over and o... More..
Entertainment > Movie Genres Which is better for foreign language films, dubbing or subtitles?: 8 of 42
Spencer Hawken makes a good point about the audience supporting movies that keep their identity. I most definitely agree. Although dubbing does have its benefits, it seems like an imposition of the English language over all others. I personally hate dubbing because of how fake and horribly acted it sounds. While Hawken gave I... More..
Pets & Animals > Dog Psychology If dogs could talk: Are you listening?: 6 of 23
"If dogs could talk" seems to be a buzz word for people who own dogs. At least in my house it is. Although dogs cannot speak mine is very much like a person and he has plenty to say. Like all dogs he greets me at the door and gives me kisses. He begs at the table for food and wags his tale when he's happy. Chiwi rarely growls... More..
Computers & Technology > Internet Security & Safety (Other) Is MySpace a safe Internet venue for teens?: 21 of 71
As a teenager, I can say that I have a MySpace account. Who doesn't these days? That is both what attracts teens to Myspace and pushes them away. Most use MySpace to talk to friends outside of school or to find friends that they haven't seen in ages. I was reconnected with a few of my friends when I first got a MySpace and is... More..
Education > Education (Other) Should public school children wear uniforms?: 36 of 100
The main argument against uniforms is that it stifles individuality and creativity. Kids are not allowed to be themselves. If they don't express themselves at school where else are they going to do it? The answer is anywhere else. Kids don't spend all day in a school. They have friends. They go to the movies. They play outsid... More..
Arts & Humanities > Classical Literature & Mythology Beowulf and Anglo-Saxon values: 2 of 5
Beowulf and the Germanic Heroic Code Heroes are often defined by specific qualities, often shaped by important events in their lives. A hero is often endowed with great valor, strength, and honor. A hero is also celebrated for his bold exploits and is favored by the divine. A hero is one that sacrifices his life, transforms h... More..
Arts & Humanities > Literary Themes & Ideas Literary analysis: The role of the journey as a catalyst in literature: 6 of 14
Rather than discuss the role of the journey in general, I would like to take a moment to discuss the role of the hero's journey as stated by Joseph Campbell. As he describes it, the hero's journey is both an actual event and a metaphor for the emotional or psychological development of the hero character. Thus, the journey is ... More..
Entertainment > Directors & Film Makers Michael Bay: Destroying our childhoods?: 3 of 7
Both articles here bring up valid points. I, personally, agree more with the first one since I have already seen the movie and did not enjoy it as much as I would have liked. Transformers was a great cartoon. Like the previous author said, it had great plot, interesting, well-developed characters, and engaging action. Even th... More..
Arts & Humanities > American Literature Book reviews: The Glass Menagerie, by Tennessee Williams: 3 of 6
Tragedy and Delusions in The Glass Menagerie Tennessee Williams, arguably one of the most innovative and significant dramatists of the 20th century, brought a new aesthetic to the American theatre. His cinematic techniques, symbolism, poetics, and tragic dealing with the human condition have made several of his plays American... More..
Arts & Humanities > Poets & Poetry Analysis the powerful and powerless Woman in Tennyson's poetry: 1 of 2
"The Lady of Shalott," a poem written by Alfred Lord Tennyson in 1839, entails the unfulfilled life of the Lady of Shalott and her eventual death because of her restricted existence. This poem represents a female breaking out against the restrictions placed upon her in conventional Victorian society, although it is set in the... More..
