The use of “pure cinema” was also used in a variety of cinematic shots of pure genius to helped take the audience in a romance and suspenseful journey through the female gaze of Alicia Huberman (Ingrid Bergman). Hitchcock’s main goal throughout Notorious was to focus on the relationships that were developing, all while putting in the “MacGuffin” in the plot that leads the characters…

Wallace’s death interests multiple people for various reasons, such as how quickly it happened after Tupac Shakur’s murder and how much the murders reflected one another (Hendrickson 29-31). The…

For this assignment, I have chosen write on the contrast between The Storm, by Kate Chopin and Mark Twain’s The Notorious Jumping Frog of Calaveras County. In the mid to late 1800’s, both authors were widely popular and drew many crowds but both had their own, unique, way of telling stories. Between both of The Storm and The Notorious Jumping Frog of Calaveras County, Chopin and Twain show how their own views, on life and the world around them, vastly differ from each other, and allows us to…

From reading The Notorious Jumping Frog of Calaveras County, I would add a piece of technology that would help Jim Smiley win more bets with his frog. I would add a device that would be capable of measuring jumping height, force from takeoff, and the landing force. This way Mr. Smiley could go out and gather frogs and test them until he singled out the best frog for him to use in his bets. Mr. Smiley taught the frog that he caught in the story on how to jump higher, but if someone else were to…
