Opheliplia

Ophelia is portrayed in John Everett Millais painting as pleasant. Dead in water she is still represented with the flowers as if morned for her death. Ophelia with eyes and mouth open her death is sudden but not done with out cause. The artist imbues his own vision of Ophelia as innocent. A Young women who was taken much to soon but death came for a cause.

Shakespeare intended Ophelia to be portrayed as misdemeanor. Often changing sides she is never sure of what she is to do. The last moments of her life were simple she was picking flowers. In the movie she seems to look as if she wants to jump and the sense we get from the book shows the same thing she is tired of feeling unsure and looks for the simple way out of it. Gertrude did watch her struggle as her clothes weighed her down.

 

I believe the reason for her madness is the constant struggle with her father and Hamlet. She loves a man she is not allowed to love. The more she is told to stay away the closer she wants to be. Contributed to her demise would be how he father told her not to have sexually relations with Hamlet and she has already had them. She is struck with the unsure of both family and love. I do feel sorry for her, she is stuck in the middle and the longer she stays there the father away both sides pull leaving her all alone. If i was directing the play i would also represent her the same way. The playing with the bones in the "rubber" room or the looks her family gives off to her behavior. All these scenes tied together paint the bigger picture that with out Hamlet her life would of been different.

invisbile children

The invisible children assembly proved to be more rateable then i had first thought. The speaker started out giving basic information on the cause for the nation tour as she continued to speak we gathered more fundamental information for the video they showed next. During the video they focused on a single boy named Tony. Tony was the average student and the average African American boy he had no father and his mother was HIV positive. This is one child in the vast amount of children who loose a mother father or even sibling to this disease. The problems he encounters next is why his story seemed to touch most of us. Supported by a lady he continues with his schooling and no longer has to hid at night form the army. He is the prime example to how you can grow from experiences. Developing relationships with the founder of the invisible children Tony is the main reason and push to showing many Americans that change is needed. His "brother" Nate gave his life trying to show America how even an ocean away they still matter and therefore they deserve to live the life we Americans live.

Ghost

The ghost scenes for Hamlet have all displayed different points. From dark scenes to more cheerful ones each actor used their own interpertions to change the way the audience relates to the diaologe. The first movie with Mel, was set in the dark. The words were more drawn out and the character of ghost and hamlet were not close together so the connect wasn't as clear in a relationship as movie 3. The second movie was placed in modern times it used props to dramatize the scene example, hankerchief to the eat to show how his brain has become liquor with the possioning. But my favorite scene was the second movie. It used props and dark seceny to tie in all aspects If the play. The language was drawn out but displayed more of a pause to the audience in suspense.

Good Night and Good Luck

"Let us dream to the extent of saying that on a given Sunday night the time normally occupied by Ed Sullivan is given over to a clinical survey of the state of American education, and a week or two later the time normally used by Steve Allen is devoted to a thoroughgoing study of American policy in the Middle East. Would the corporate image of their respective sponsors be damaged? Would the stockholders rise up in their wrath and complain? Would anything happen other than that a few million people would have received a little illumination on subjects that may well determine the future of this country, and therefore the future of the corporations? To those who say people wouldn't look; they wouldn't be interested; they're too complacent, indifferent and insulated, I can only reply: There is, in one reporter's opinion, considerable evidence against that contention. But even if they are right, what have they got to lose? Because if they are right, and this instrument is good for nothing but to entertain, amuse and insulate, then the tube is flickering now and we will soon see that the whole struggle is lost. This instrument can teach, it can illuminate; yes, and it can even inspire. But it can do so only to the extent that humans are determined to use it to those ends. Otherwise it is merely wires and lights in a box. Good night, and good luck.”

Do you agree or disagree with his sentiments?-yes i agree with his sentiments,  no matter how much knowledge you give its only useful if viewers use it. Big companies often don't want to support conversely topics if it might lead to loosing money.

 Based on this speech, what do you believe Murrow would say about television today?  If Murrow was to talk about television today his ideas and opinions would not change. He would in fact add to the debate in government. The extra space given to reports to talk about would never of lead to the out come it had to CBS during his time.

Would he be pleased or dismayed?  He would be pleased with the change, after having to give a little to product the McCarthy show, Murrow would have more space to speak freely on his matters.

compare the transition from radio to TV in Murrow's time, to the advent of the Internet in our own. Has it improved the flow of information and education, or is it too merely "a box of wires and lights?"
 the invention of Internet and advancement of TV information is reaching the youth and elders faster then it can be produced. The flow of information has been proven to help pass your own judgement with pros and cons on many topics. 

The Monsters are Due on Maple Street

“The tools of conquest do not necessarily come with bombs and explosions and fallout. There are weapons that are simply thoughts, attitudes, prejudices to be found only in the minds of men. For the record, prejudices can kill and suspicion can destroy, and a thoughtless frightened search for a scapegoat has a fallout all its own for the children, and the children yet unborn.”

 The idea of suspicion feeds the minds of other. This quote explains the behavioral pattern of close friends and even strangers when uncertain events occur. Can the out of ordinary make you react in survival mode, Serling is saying that humans act in means to live, regardless if they prosecute other innocent men and women the means to live are greater then another's life. Looking back on the Crucible Abagail's attempts to convince others hen the pressure is on her results in many lives taken.

Paris "what am I to say that I discovered my daughter and neice dancing like heathen in the forest?" Pg 1238

He is more concerned with the thoughts of others then the well being of his own daugther. He seeks the towns approval and when such words of witches comes to his own house he is the first to deine the events that took place.
