Scriptwriters' Patronising Depiction 'charmingly' Primitive Stupid Sycophantic Village
1,095 wordsWhoever had the crazy idea of dyeing Miss Tierney's hair blonde? Had the world gone mad? Whatever the reason, playing the part of an Italian village girl with platinum blonde hair can have done little to further Gene's career, especially since she does not even attempt an Italian accent, and limits herself to mechanically following a dreadful script which does not allow her to develop into any kind of believable character at all. This is a tasteless film in more ways than one: the scriptwriters'...

Million Copies Operating System
859 wordsSkinny, shy and awkward, teenaged Bill Gates seemed an unlikely successor to his overachieving parents. His father, powerfully built and 6 ' 6 '' tall, was a prominent Seattle attorney, and his mother served on charitable boards and ran the United Way. While he showed enormous talent for math and logic, young Bill, a middle child, was no one's idea of a natural leader, let alone a future billionaire who would reinvent American business. Born in 1955, Gates attended public elementary school, and ...

Russian Women American Women
3,063 words... Russia have a natural admiration for men, as long as they are good, decent, kind, and have good character. They do not have the deep rooted hatred for men that American women have who were brought up with by their mothers, peers, and feminist media. Any sane man would obviously prefer to be around the former than the latter, since obviously the former brings out the best in men while the latter brings out the worst in them. Nowadays in America many women seem to have a deep-rooted subconscio...

The Emergence Of Thin Ideal In America

Blind Man Didnt Understand
1,218 wordsBlindness creates a world of obscurity only to be overcome with guidance from someone willing to become intimate with the blind. Equally true, the perceptions of blindness can only be overcome when the blind allow intimacy with the sighted. Raymond Carver, with his short story Cathedral, illustrates this point through the eyes of a man who will be spending an evening with a blind man, Robert, for the first time. Not only does this man not know Robert, but his being blind, bothered (Carver 98) hi...

Leaves The Reader Reader Feels
921 wordsSpring in Fialta's opening line, Spring in Fialta is cloudy and dull, (Nabokov 413) is quite an atypical beginning for Nabokov. This line, coming from a man who is overly concerned with trifles, brings up many questions. Is Nabokov intentionally leaving out the trifles of Fialta here at the beginning? If so, why? Perhaps the answer to this question is that Nabokov intends for the line in question to be a double entendre referring to both the town and the story itself. On the narrative level, Nab...

Growth Spurt Child Children
306 wordsUp until the age of nine or ten years, there is little difference in the physical appearance of a boy or a girl, except the genitals. Boys and girls behave differently but this is mostly as a result of socialisation or the way other people have molded the child to behave like a girl or like a boy. From the age of eight years, two or three years before puberty, growth hormones are released within the child resulting in rapid physical growth known as a growth spurt. This growth spurt occurs when a...
