True Human Nature (Criticism Of Lord Of The Flies)

This opinion, in fact, is a point that many have disagreed with when reading his work. There are many instances throughout Lord

Concert Review And Bio: Tchaikovsky
Classical Concert Who likes classical music anyway? That is a question that you may have found me asking a few months ago. As I have listened to the music in class and on my CD that came with the text book, I have noticed that I am growing a little bit more fond of this style of music.

Determinists have come to the conclusion that we are governed by the laws of science, that there is nothing we can do about ourselves being evil because we naturally are. Evil is simply the act

Gummo: A Review
Gummo: A Review Pieces of a puzzle slowly fitting together, to reveal a picture. This is an accurate description of how the film, Gummo by Harmony Korine pans out. Through a series of quite disturbing yet visually stimulating vignettes, Korine somehow relays a tragic story.

Stepford Review A*
Mildly diverting is about the best that can be said for The Stepford Wives, a remake so pointless it could be about as entertaining as daytime tv.. Adapted from Ira Levin's chilling novel as a comedy, as opposed to the nifty 70's thriller which made the title a household phrase, the makers have missed out one crucial ingredient: Laughs. Nicole Kidman (Moulin rouge, practical magic) plays Joanna, a burnt-out TV executive who gets fired from

A Short Review Of The West Side Story
One of the things that first struck me about the play was that the characters believed they lived a good life. I saw the exact opposite. The good life is shown through success, success through a career, education, goals, and love, or at least we are brought up thinking so. The gangs only had one another and without the support of that gang, these boys/characters would not exist as individual human beings. The Jets did

Ladder 49 Movie Review
When we see movies we often expect a happy ending with the conflict of the movie to be resolved. Ladder 49, however, doesn't end with a happy ending. In my mind I wanted everything in the end to be ok. As Americans we are so used to seeing the "happily ever after" endings. So when we see bad endings, they leave us uncomfortable, replying in our minds what had just seen. My expectations before I

Genetics Vursus Nurture
Bad Parents Make for Bad Children Genetics is not the only valid excuse for a child's misbehaviour. Society prides itself in the way a child is raised by parents. Children misbehave because something vital is missing in one's nurturing. These mothers and fathers allow young children to stray from moral equity, challenge authority and use violence as a resolution for anger. Nurturing should include deterrence from wickedness and inducement of morality all the while
