Roadhouse

Literature Review
In older reviews, professional critics believed that the plot and the acting in the movie were simply unbearable. The biggest issue is that the ailing plot line, established early on and never fully developed, is just too campy and lackluster. Professional critics went on to state that Road House suffered largely for its bad acting, which is considered juvenile and not worthy of cinema. In an article published by Caryn James (1989) the author focuses largely on the plot of the movie as his target. He went on to state that the star of Road House, Patrick ...

Nowadays, most people know only two genres of a story that are defined by its length. These genres are a short story and a novel. Both of them may have longer or shorter versions, but there are only these two well-known genres. Nevertheless, earlier it was a bit differently. Suddenly, people forgets about a novella. The fact is that earlier many types of periodicals would have published stories of all kinds of length. Then situation has changed and today publishers are not that flexible.

Towards the end of the seventeenth century, Protestants greatly feared Catholics “overthrowing the Church of England in Church and State”, their concerns were heightened by “The king’s ...

Sophocles was a fifth century Greek writer whose play Oedipus Rex was exalted by Aristotle in Poetics as the perfect tragedy as it invokes both fear and pity in the audience. Aristotle explains that a tragic hero is one who is befallen by tragedy brought about primarily by factors usually outside the control of the aforementioned hero thus possessing a noble sense and attaining stature in the society. The hero he however argues is not an embodiment of righteousness but rather an ordinary man prone to the common failings of man but who stands up for his values. His fall is also ...

Last Wednesday on 27th of January I had an opportunity to see drama play “Oscar Wilde: From the Depths” at Lantern Theater Company in Philadelphia. This biographical drama about Wilde’s imprisonment has impressed, I believe, not only me, but all the other visitors and has left some food for thoughts. In this review I will analyze what we have seen not only on the scene but in a combination with auditorium. The reaction of visitors before, during and after the play is also a part of overall theater performance which is interesting for admiring and interpretation.

The films “Ghost in the Shell”, “Blade Runner”, and “Metropolis” are all great examples of how issues such as humanity, identity, and technological progression can be conveyed through science ...

Analysis

The scatter plot provide a visual representation of the relationship between white pine and the percentage of Penn Sedge. It form the preliminary analysis. The scatter plot shows a negative relationship between the percentage of Penn Sedge and the number of white pine. However, the relationship seems to be weak since the trend line is almost horizontal. Besides, the data points are far away from the trend line.

Further analysis was conducted using regression analysis to test the hypothesis under consideration. The regression results as follows:

The adjusted R square is -0.004. This means that the percentage of Penn Sedge only explains 0.004 percent variation in the number of white pine and approximately 99 percent of the ...

For those with the eyes to look far past the Presidency, now in the hands of an African-American man, there is still an impending crisis within the U.S.; that is, an existing movement that continues to use Blaxploitation films as a means to accurately portray representative characterizations of African Americans. Although we are now well into the 21st century, this has been an on-going problem that was first put to society’s attention by Ossie Davis. "Cotton Comes to Harlem" is one such movie that achieved legendary status, when it was released in 1970. By some, it is even considered a ‘ ...

Introduction

The Oxford dictionary defines a “play” as a “dramatic work for the stage or for broadcast” (2012). We also know that the term is also used to indicate moments of fun and enjoyment. The evolution of drama and theatre can be traced back to the Greek period where it emerged in close relation to religion and rituals of the time. F.L Lucas in his interpretation of Aristotle’s “Poetics” explains how the drama at that time was similar to rituals and sacred mysteries as they provided a different kind of purification to the spectator by means of thought provoking stories and visual ...

There are but few authors in the plethora of Western literature that can rival Homer in his lasting impact on the craft of epic narrative. Both of his Odyssey and the Illiad are often attributed as the oldest surviving works of literature in the Western Greek alphabetic tradition (Powell xv). Along with Hesiod’s poems, they are also considered to be the oldest substantial pieces of writing in any kind. Almost nothing survives between these poems – which appear at the dawn of Greek alphabetic literacy – and the rich literary production of fifth-century Athens. Everything else is lost. Of course, ...

The appearance of Kabuki is attributed to Izumo Okuni a servant of the temple, which, according to the available documentary evidence, headed a predominantly female troupe that in 1603 staged presentation and light scenes (dance, comic sketches), choosing the parched bed of the Kamogawa River in Kyoto as their stage.

Is it or is it not Magical Realism?

When speaking about García Márquez’s inventive narratives, Spiller (1999) a professor of Renaissance literature, notes that his use of magical realism (MR) demands that the reader “accommodate both fantasy and reality within a single narrative structure” (475, para. 2). Magical realism is similar to (or perhaps the same as) fantasy and science fiction because the reader is asked to do the same thing; that is accept fantasy as reality. Gene Wolfe (science fiction and fantasy author) was asked to explain the difference between science fiction, fantasy and magical realism. He explained that the difference is “Plausibility. . . .

In other words, an outstanding tragedy looks at a single issue that is very important in the play and allows the reader to feel pity and fear for the hero as he heads ...
