Literary appropriation may be defined as the legal beneficial and creative art of borrowing from literary work of another author to come up with a completely different work from the original (Adeney 2013).

These borrowed ideas are geared towards achieving certain literary objectives such as to criticize, ridicule, create new literary work, prepare ...

It is a commonplace to perceive the term ‘auditing’ only in a business where it refers to the process of investigating and analyzing any of the aspects in the given area. The term itself is used more extensively than just to mean the ‘investigation and attestation of accounts’. Evenly, varied references to attestation are purposeless without an obvious goal of ‘to what’ as well as ‘to why?’ (Gray, 2000). In regard to social and environmental auditing above-indicated commonplaces are considered to be principal. However, ‘social auditing’ as well as ‘environmental auditing’ are applied in different ways to indicate diverse ...

Aliens Films (1979-1997)

What is the significance of events in films? Are all the bits and pieces in films intentionally included by directors? These are some of the questions I asked myself as I set out on a comprehensive analysis of the audience message in the Aliens Films (1979-1997). According to film analyst Greg Smith, different events in films are not to be treated as accidental encounters of random occurrence and spontaneity. They are instead purposefully planned series of events with cause and effect and with nothing left to chance (Greg 128). Greg explains that Hollywood films are inadvertently one of the most ...

Peace that people enjoy nowadays uninterrupted is, of course, not a new phenomenon. However, what is interesting is that the humanity has lived only several hundred years without warring for whatever reason could bring large armies face-to-face in a lethal confrontation for questionable reasons. Besides soldiers, the brute force of conflicts, the main tools of war have always been weapons indicating the state of technological advancement of nations, being the litmus paper and the benchmarks of progress. Thousands years ago, there was no such concept as a long-lasting peace, and the weaponry was a lot more different than it currently is, being used ...

Introduction

The film Last Vegas, directed by Jon Turteltaub, was released in 2013. It stars cinematic heavyweights like Michael Douglas, Robert De Niro, Morgan Freeman, and Kevin Kline. Some of these actors, like Kline and Douglas, have faded into general obscurity in recent years, but still have managed to maintain relative clout with their reputations, making this film seem like it was going to be one to remember. Unfortunately, most will probably remember it as one they wish they could forget. The storyline is boring, the jokes are stale, and the material is dull. There are a few redeeming qualities about ...

Introduction

The film industry considers the horror genre in cinema, especially in Hollywood, as a staple because it draws a sizeable audience that consequently makes horror movies highly profitable (Hantke, 2010, p. viii). At least, this was the case during the 19th and 20th centuries since the state of the horror genre has changed over time. At present time, filmmakers would confess that horror films today are not as profitable as they were in the past. According to Hantke (2010, p. viii), we can attribute the so-called slump in the horror genre, especially in Hollywood, to its decline as a result of the ...

When did images begin to become important to the exercise of cultural, social, and political power in the United States?

The history of the image in terms of social, cultural and political power in the United States can be traced back to the first newspapers to be released - ever since Joseph Pulitzer published the World in 1882, featuring pictures and contests to attract new readers and add to the content of newspapers, images have become an important part of establishing American culture and history. With the beginning of the pictoral age of newsmaking came the sensationalism of entertaining stories that would galvanize the people and appeal to emotions. The 1890s saw the beginning of muckraking and yellow journalism, ...

Mark Twain, whose real name was Samuel Clemens, was one of the most noted and popular literary figures of the 19th century. His popularity stems in part from his subject matter, which was primarily about unvarnished Americans, and in part from his writing style, which was natural, humorous and cynical. Critics of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn criticized its "coarseness and bad taste" (Bilyeu 2). Twain had a knack for examining and ridiculing the foibles and stupidity of his fellow human beings. Two of the best volumes to look at when wanting to see these aspects of his writing are ...

The works of Ray Bradbury have long been held up as examples of speculative fiction: the forms of genres which, generally, encompass a wide range of imaginative features. His work often presents common themes such as those with pertain to the future, space, science fiction and the dystopian qualities of future societies. For example, in Fahrenheit 451, Bradbury discusses a future society where books are banned: presenting the reader with a hint of anti-meta narrative, given that the book is the very thing in the readers’ hands. This also represents Bradbury’s most famous work: it is universally accepted as being one ...
