3. Essay on Girl Interrupted Review
One popular cultural myth about the mentally ill is the archetype of the "Sexy Crazy Girl", which
we've seen in movies, comic books, and music. Losing your grip with reality is not a glamorous
subject, but that's not what you get from Girl, Interrupted. It is apparent that all the girls in the
movie had some type of dysfunctional personality, and bad things happen to some of them, but it
just did not seem realistic. First off, most of the patients prtrayed were young, which made the care
facility look like a youth home rather than a mental institution. but only the main (well known) stars,

It seems she's playing nearly the same sexy–vixen she's played in a few other films already; just this
time, she's in a t–shirt, and occasionally gets tied to a bed. It'd be interesting to see Jolie really
stretch beyond her type; maybe in a Jane Austen movie or playing a nun.
Overall, Girl, Interrupted feels like a movie that could've been rawer, more intense, and more
confrontational... ie, a lot less Hollywood. I found myself wondering what this adaptation of
Kaysen's book would've been like if it had been done on a shoestring budget with unknown young
actresses and a fledgling director. Some Folks Call it a Sling Blade, the short film by Billy Bob
Thornton that led to the film Sling Blade came to mind. I'm also noticing that that's the 2nd time I
referenced another film that is primarily about men, not women. Maybe we need an excellent film
about mentally ill young women, and maybe Girl, Interrupted could've been that film... but it isn't.
Quickly summed up, this film may indeed be compared to a female version of One Flew Over the
Cuckoo's Nest, except where that film was a rebellion tale, Girl, Interrupted appears to be more
about self–discovery. Though this film has been long in development, and many actresses vied for
the leading role, the casting call was even more crowded for the supporting roles. In particular,

5. Analysis Of The Book ' The Black Robe ' By Arthur Miller
The author in the Black Robe article depicts the inaccuracies of the film such as how no Indian of
New France would have agreed to a 1,500 mile expedition in the middle of the winter. The only
knowledge we have to go off of reviewing the past is based on the historical letters the missionaries'
wrote their superiors. In The Crucible the author Arthur Miller portrays young Abigail Williams to
have had an affair with the elderly John Proctor, records show that Abigail was eleven and John was
sixty. The movie based on Arthur Miller's play portrays Abigail played by Winona Ryder as a young
woman who is sexually attracted to John played by Daniel Day–Lewis who is looks to be middle
aged. Historians would argue the view based on Miller's play of the girls' behavior most likely being
a cry for attention based on historical facts and records rather than the play viewing their behavior of
accusing numerous victims of practicing witchcraft based on their parents' enmity toward their
neighbors and the girls' hysteria to sexual frustration as a consequence of puritan repression. When
data based on records of marriages and births shortly after marriage shows that communities in
puritan New England had an extremely low rate of premarital intercourse. In The Patriot article the

Bad News Bears "Baseball was, is and always will be to me the best game in the world" these were
the words once uttered by Babe Ruth. The Bad News Bears is a 1976 film, remade in 2005, about a
little league baseball team full of misfits that were originally excluded from their Southern
California baseball league for not being talented enough, but parent protest allowed for the team to
be formed. The coach in charge of this team is a drunk, ex–professional baseball pitcher named

after having to forfeit in the top of the first inning, quickly forming a rivalry with the Yankees. The
team then wants to quit, but Buttermaker has a change of heart ... Show more content on

The boys don't know what to do, other than steal the money from his wallet and go home. In both
movies the team slowly improves until Buttermaker, after several attempts, gets the daughter of his
ex–girlfriend to join the team as the ace pitcher. Still, neither team wins a game until the addition of
Kelly Leak, a juvenile delinquent often with amazing athletic ability. Both movies contain a
montage of unbelievable success resulting from these new players, landing the Bears in the title
game. Although the team loses the championship, both films end on a happy note with a "see you

Morris Buttermaker is a washed up former semiprofessional baseball pitcher. This is the lead
character in the Bad News Bears. Originally played by Walter Matthua, then remade with Billy Bob
Thornton, Buttermaker is self–loving alcoholic who smokes cheap cigars like a chimney. Although
Thornton and Matthua played this character similarly, there were some key differences. The newer
version of Buttermaker is a womanizer unlike the original. Thornton's character even sleeps with
one of the players moms. The Bears even have numerous amounts of risqué girls cheering for the
young boys at their games. In the 1976 version the Buttermaker states that he only pitched in the

Sling Blade
The Complete Review
This film by virtue of its independence has shied away from the usual hype associated with
American movies. The result is an original screenplay by Billy Bob Thornton that is transformed
into a mesmerising tale of the south. Thornton cast actors with ability rather than their image or
'Hollywood status'. Sling Blade challenges us to re–evaluate our principles and our definitions of
right, wrong and of justice.
Billy Bob Thornton plays a slightly retarded psychiatric patient by the name of Karl Childers, who
has been in an asylum for the criminally insane for the last 25 years. As his name suggests, Karl
Childers is a child–like man with instilled Southern Christian values and somewhat comical
mannerisms ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Karl begins to tell his story under the soft light of the lamp. His story is accompanied by a strong
and slow heartbeat. As the story is reaching its horrific climax, the heartbeat quickens, and with the
last word of the story, the heartbeat now louder and quicker than ever, stops. The lighting creates a
chilling moment in the movie. The constant use of lighting is most definitely contemporary noir.
Upon Karl's release the music changes to a more cheerful harmonica and synthesizer representing
his contentment with his new found freedom. Karl heads back to where he was raised in a small
country town in Arkansas. Karl stops and rests outside the local Laundromat and notices a young
boy by the name of Frank struggling out with the washing, Karl offers to take the laundry the half–
mile walk to the house. Lucas Black gives a wonderful performance as an innocent albeit nervous
boy who is having difficulty coming to terms with the suicide of his father several years earlier.
Frank takes an instant liking to Karl and adopts him as a kind of father figure. Karl can see in Frank
his own lost youth and innocence.

This was a great move on his behalf, because he ended up becoming best friends with this boy and
even breaking out of character and engaging in a friendly football game with him and his friends.
This is something you'd expect from your friendly neighborhood father, not someone who
previously committed a double murder. These two scenes are towards the beginning of the movie
and are merely foreshadowing to show that Karl is indeed a caring person and can live a meaningful
and compassionate life.
The last montage of scenes in the movie where Karl goes around and talks to all the people he cares
about is really the icing on the cake. He shows that throughout his life, he has truly done what he
thought was best for people he truly cared about. Even if this meant he would have to sit in a padded
room for the rest of his life. His first murder he thought he was helping his mother out of a terrible
situation that she was in. Even though his mother and father neglected him and made him live in a
shack out back, he still cared for his mother enough to come to her defense, or so he thought. He
thought she was getting raped by the neighborhood goon, Jesse Dixon. When he found out that his

17. The Black Female Body : Past And Present Essay
The Black Female Body: Past and Present In today's media, bodies of color, particularly black
female bodies, are underrepresented and poorly represented by stereotypical images that are
constructed by patriarchy and white supremacy. When stereotypes are distinctly visible and exposed
in the media, they tend to be easily adopted by individuals, even though they are untrue. These
stereotypes are quite problematic because they stand in for actual knowledge and real life
experience. White supremacy is used as framework to contextualize Western ways of thinking of
how we understand the knowledge presented about bodies of color. Mass media is a system of
knowledge and power reproducing that attempts to maintain white supremacy by oppressing people
of color, particularly women of color. In this paper, l will explore how hegemonic tropes of

Karl saw his father's boss's son having his way with his mother and assumes the worst. He then

John Ritter plays a homosexual male in the movie who is like a father figure to Frank and a best
friend to Frank's mother. He expresses several times in the movie to Karl how scared he is of Doyle

In the movie, Karl puts on the front to be a Christian like figure. His only possessions are a Bible
and a few other books on Christmas and Carpentry. In the final scenes of the movie, Karl calls out to
three of the main characters before he goes to confront Doyle.
Billy Bob Thorton uses the inversion of Peter's betrayal of Jesus to create a moral ambivalence over
Karl's actions. "Slingblade" has no secret ever leading to his final confrontation, which I
believe is a strange mix of Christ–like self–sacrifice and Old Testament Law.
In the movie "Slingblade" Karl expresses types of repulsion that show inner fear of
brokeness and fragility. I believe the main theme of this movie was the tragedy of a lost childhood.
The moral issues of the movie question the concepts of what we believe in to be right and wrong, sin
and benevolence. In Karl's position did he even know what was right and what was wrong?

36. What Is Angelina Jolie Developmental Biography
DEVELOPMENTAL HISTORY Angelina Jolie Voight was born on June 4, 1975, in Los Angeles,
California, to actor Jon Voight and actress Marcheline Bertrand. Angelina had a troubled childhood,
the result of growing up with an estranged and famous father and a mother who, despite her laissez–
faire parenting style, used her daughter as a vehicle through which to live out her own dreams of
stardom. For the first year or so of Jolie's life, she was kept in a white office five floors above her
mother's apartment and tended by a rotation of babysitters (her mother finding her too similar–
looking to her just–run–off husband). There were days when her mother would not visit.
Psychiatrists speculate that Angelina's mother became unhinged after her husband was discovered to
be cheating on her while Angelina was just a babe in arms. Growing up, she didn't like being
hugged. During an interview with London's Mail, she said: "Growing up, I had a thing about people

mother's number, who played the messages for her friends. "Here was Mick Jagger virtually sobbing
down the phone" (Morton, 133). Meanwhile, Angelina's mother was encouraging her daughter to
formalize her divorce from her first husband, Jonny Lee Miller of Trainspotting, and consulting
astrologers on the likelihood of her marrying Jagger. Finally, just as Jolie's relationship with Billy

38. Comparing Sling Blade And As I Lay Dying
Southern gothic literature underscores the unpleasant aspects of southern culture. These issues are
exposed through grotesque characters, including those who are physically deformed, mentally
deficient, or deeply flawed. Many of the characters struggle to make sense of the surrounding world
and find a place in society. Southern gothic authors are iconoclasts, criticizing southern culture and
revealing the anti–social idiosyncrasies of humanity, especially in the face of difficulty. Among
these authors is William Faulkner, who is often recognized for his exceptional southern gothic style.
As I Lay Dying is one of many novels by Faulkner in which the nature of man is explored through
the death in a family. Billy Bob Thornton is the renowned author of the script of Sling Blade, a film
in which a mentally handicapped murderer is released from an institution. Despite apparent
differences, both Sling Blade and As I Lay Dying are examples of the Southern gothic genre since
each explores the theme of isolation ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...

"love and hatred." Whereas Vardaman tries to solicit such answers from Darl, Frank attempts to find

him for his life. This paved the way for no–name Matt Saracen, a sophomore backup who had never
seen the field and had very limited athletic ability. Where as, the movie features Mike Winchell a
senior, receiving his first start ever as a panther. The hard–working, small and determined
quarterback faces adversity and leads his panther team to victory even without star running back and
offensive juggernaut Booby Miles. Winchell takes it upon himself to lead his team and show them
what he can do. On the other hand, in the tv series, Matt Saracen is struggling to find confidence in
his new role on the team. "I just want to be back–up again." He pleads. This is where coach Eric
Taylor steps in and teaches the young quarterback how to work with what he's got, and how to
manage a football game. Saracen in his first start only threw the ball four times, but one pass was a
completion for the game–winning touchdown. Mike Winchell and Matt Saracen are your average,
home–grown, Texas boy, who grew up without a father or a mother. Both Saracen and Winchell are
without parents, but still have loving grandmas that attend/watch every game. The two have very
similar backgrounds but opposite demeanor, Winchell always worked hard and never was handed
anything. Saracen was handed the starting quarterback job after Jason was paralyzed, and he didn't
want the responsibility. This adds to his uprising throughout the next couple of weeks. After he won

44. The Alamo Movie Analysis
The Alamo is a 2004 American war film about the Battle of the Alamo amid the Texas Revolution; it
is a motion picture that catches the dejection and fear of men sitting tight for two weeks for what
they hope to be sure passing, and it some way or another succeeds in taking those popular society
brand names like Davy Crockett and James Bowie and giving them human structure. The film was
coordinated by Texan John Lee Hancock, delivered by Ron Howard, Brian Grazer, and Mark
Johnson, dispersed by Touchstone Pictures, and featuring Dennis Quaid as Sam Houston, Billy Bob
Thornton as Davy Crockett, and Jason Patric as James Bowie. The film relates to history, the Alamo
looks exact, and, in reality, we find that San Antonio de Béxar was deliberately re–made with small
saving of cost. In any case, a feeling of the way the occasions at the Alamo are joined with the
national story of slavery, development, and the evacuation of Native American from the eastern
United States in the 1830s and 1840s is missing. On the off chance that we incorporate this bigger
story, we can maybe figure out the more extensive point of view that at first created enthusiasm for

well as Fargo, North Dakota and Duluth, Minnesota. This unusual setting for the dark events that

Lester Nygaard and the mysterious stranger introduced in the first episode as Lorne Malvo –but
more on that later. First, one must examine the character of Lester Nygaard. While not the most
violent character on the show, Lester does become deeply interwoven in criminal activity. He begins
the series as an unremarkable character, just a man with a relatively boring job at an insurance
company in an unhappy marriage. However, he ends the series with two dead wives (he was directly
responsible for the death of one and indirectly responsible for the death of the other), an insurance

Sexual assault; The Jian Ghomeshi story
This is a myth that is not true that most of the sexual assaults involve a stranger who attacks a
woman in a dark park or alleyway or who may breaks into a woman's house or an apartment to
assault her. According to the crime statistics, less than 20 percent of sexual assaults are committed
by a strangers. In other words, in more than 80 percent of cases, the woman is assaulted by someone
she already know such as a family member or a friend
Over three quarters of the sexual assaults involve unwanted sexual, grabbing, touching, kissing, or
fondling. In about 70 percent of the sexual assaults, victim is female and in close to 90 percent, the
perpetrator is a male. The Young people are more likely than older people to be victims of sexual
assault. For example, most people who are aged 15 to 24 are most as likely to be sexually assaulted
as people who are 25 to 34 years–old.
Sexual harassment is a terrible crime with consequences. It can hurt a victim's life for the rest of
their life cause depression or anxiety and can also destroy a person's self–esteem. These
consequences can haunt a victim for the rest of their life. If the abuse is very frequent, committed by

abusing hard drugs and alcohol, and having infidelity in her relationships (Ramsdale, 2013). Her

work piqued after working on set in Cambodia in the year 2000 for her hit movie, "Tomb Raider"

serving quality food at low prices, but also as a friend to those customers who need one. Waffle
House's job, Rogers notes, is to "make people feel better because they ate with us," (Osinski, 2004)
Waffle House has quickly become a pop culture icon despite the company's lack of significant
public relations campaigns. The corporation uses little advertising and releases few details about its
operations to the public. Despite the company's poor public relations efforts, Waffle House has been
featured on Rosie O'Donnell Show, the cover of Hootie & The Blowfish's album, the movies

As with females, body image among males is a prevailing symptom and underlying motivation for
the development and continuation of the disorder. Anorexia is a terrible disorder that ravages the
body as it seems to bring comfort to the mind. A female anorexic tends to lose mostly body fat. Men
primarily lose muscle tissue and tone. As this is destroyed it takes its toll on the body. Bone loss,
heart muscle loss, and anemia are just a few of the ways this disorder affects the body. The two main
causes of death with Anorexia are cardiac arrest and terminal dehydration. These are typically
brought on by complications of starving the body of required nutrients for long periods of time.
Typically, the initial onset of Anorexia strikes in the teen years and continues into young adulthood.
During this time, many of those who suffer from symptoms of Anorexia develop a distorted body
image. Among men, full blown Anorexia tends to develop later. As previously discussed, Anorexia
in males is typically a response to being overweight. Men who develop the disorder generally try to
lose weight by restricting their caloric intake and with intense exercise. Men, like women, are being

my breakdown of both books and how they differ and how they are similar. To start off both authors
are women. Although after reading both novels, both authors don't seem very similar to me.
Christianson comes off to me as more edgy and loose. And although her books extremely sexual, I
think Allende's is older, maybe middle age. The reason I think that is when I read this book I picture
her as an older cougar who knows just what she wants. I like Christianson better. She reminds me of
myself and I think she would be a lot of fun to hang out with. To be fair though I've only read just
these two books by the authors. I do plan to read more of Christianson's work though.
I absolutely love Greek mythology. I actually took a Greek mythology class at Tidewater
Community College. So when I found out we had to read Aphrodite, I was extremely excited.
Aphrodite is supposed to be the goddess of love, desire and beauty. But this book is not about Greek
mythology. Although it does remind me Aphrodite with all the sexual stories and pictures. If there

animal, and forced him to live in a shed in solitude. Everyone in town picked on him and called him
names. He was seen as a "retard" or slower than others. He had little to call his own. His only
possessions were a Bible and several books on Christmas and carpentry. Karl was taught the Bible

Through a deadly crime, Karl freed his young friend from a life of pain and despair, only to end up
back where he began at the "nut house". The choice of right or wrong seemed to make good and evil
equal.
The main point of Sling Blade was to convey the message that sometimes wrong can be right.
Symbolically, killing with the switchblade represents for cutting away the troubles that get in the
way. Sling Blade was a subjective film. It seduces the audience to emphasize with Frank and Karl
and think the way the director wants.
Elements
The first element I found that supported the theme was the script. The actors' dialogues shaped the
characters' roles. Karl adopted a new dialect. He picked up a backwoods, disturbed, monotone,
punctuated by a throaty "um–hmmm". Karl's dialogue showed that he spoke in a simple way. He
avoided complicated, fancy language. He spoke like a child, slow and easy, while the others in the
movie indicated more education through their speaking. Karl explained the way he was treated as a
child, his love for Frank, and his fear of Doyle. His moments of silence revealed his reflection, his
caged up behavior, and his childlike manner. Karl's words shaped him as gentle and to the point.
Karl told Frank's mamma she's good for Frank. He let people know their worth. At the end Karl
