The Graduate The sequence that I have chosen for analysis is the scene after the party and Dustin is moping in his room, until he puts his hand in the fish tank to pull out his keys. The scene begins with Mrs. Robinson bursting in on Benjamin. The sound of the door is quite loud in the small space, making it much more intrusive than it might normally have been and possibly drawing a metaphor about her entry not just into his room but into his private life. Her voice is totally calm…

My Aid in Life January 6th , 2011 felt like the end but it was a new beginning. This was the day that my parents divorced, and my mother and myself took a flight to Orlando, Florida, from Boston. The previous months were filled of heartbreak, addiction, sorrow, and secrets. Truly, I find it amazing how things can change so fast in just a short amount of time. The things I went through at that time were almost unbearable; but I can deeply thank Alex, my counselor, for all the motivation and…

Some of you will remember this story. It was ten years ago, and I was employed then as a forensic psychologist in Marin County. Much of my work involved talking to criminals, then testifying as to their sanity in a court of law. On the afternoon this all began, for example — that afternoon when I blacked out in Sara Johnson’s apartment — I was scheduled to examine a man who’d been accused of strangling his wife. Because of that incident, and all that has happened since, I know many people will…

Everything was perfect; we were on cloud 9, I had finally found someone who made me feel like I’m on top of the world… until he moved. The excitement I felt while I walked to class was unreal. I walked through the breezeway of the school and felt a slight chill from the cold cloudy day. I quickly turned into a hall and took in the warmth from the AC and found my much anticipated class, World Geography. I walked in and there he is facing the board. Slightly long blonde hair, a grey sweater that…

the public what is happening.’ But that is only a slim part of what they actually do. Due to media conglomerates it is very easy for a corporations political agenda to be forced on the public, even the world, without knowing. An example of this is Rupert Murdock. He is the founder, chairman and CEO of New Corporation, which owns the Fox Network, BSkyB (39.1), The Times, The Sunday Times, The Sun, The Daily Mail, Vogue, and the list goes on. It has influence in countries all over the world…

“Knowing” is Contagious Was Buffy the Vampire Slayer just an entertaining show or did it have a deeper meaning embedded into it? Why did the show have such a big fallowing?

The premise of the show is a young girl comes to age and discovers that she is destine to slay vampires and other hellish creatures: she also has to deal with…

Was the phone hacking the action of “rogue journalist” or something more systemic? The phone hacking incident was more systemic. This kind of behavior wasn’t an isolated event or an action of one “rogue journalist”. There were many evidence in the case to prove that the incident was normal occurrence in Murdoch’s company. In 2006, Clive Goodman and Glenn Mulcaire, a private investigator were caught to have hacked into senior aides to the Britain’s royal family as well as the princes’ phone…

Longitude by Dava Sobel is a book about how the first accurate clock for determining longitude was made. The book starts off by describing the longitude problem which is about how difficult it is to determine longitude at sea. In order to determine longitude, two clocks are needed, one from the home port and one based upon the local time of the ship. The difference in times allows for the longitude of the ship to be determined. However, it is very hard to make accurate clocks at sea due to the…

Buster shot his head up with a loud snort, shifting from hoof to hoof, spooked by the call of a predator. "Calm down, Buster. Easy there," Aerith cooed, grasping onto the rein and tugged, gesturing him to lower his head while stroking his neck. When Buster had calmed down significantly, more howls joined the first one, each sounding closer and louder than the last. If that chorus of cries is the cue to leave the area, Aerith didn't need to be told twice. "We got to go." With haste, the brunette…

Sir Philip Sidney, though not as influential in his daily life, was an effective poet, and an attentive scholar.

During his short life, Sidney served as an ambassador to the Queen of England, wrote several poems which were influential to great writers, including William Shakespeare himself, and even received a knighthood in 1583, three years before his…
