The whole movie is a fiction. In other words, the movie is not based on the life or lives on any real people. There is a semblance of non-fiction, because the events of movie are possible and probably do happen, but in the end it is a work of fiction. If you are asking what are the most fictitious element of the movie, then I would say that all the actors of the movie would fall into that category, because they are all caricatures of certain...

The poem "Alzheimer's" begins by showing a current state of the man. We are introduced to his character as having odd objects in his possession such as the piggy bank and the book. The reader is made aware that the man can no longer read because he fakes it with his book. Around him are issues in conflict much like the state of his mind; For example, "Roses and columbine slug it out for space, claw the mortar." Yet, the man has...

They lyrics were "based on / inspired by" the poem by Tennyson. However, the song doesn't seem to be included on any "greatest hits" collections, and Whittaker himself has commented he's not very fond of the song (as it was his first professional recording in 1962). Short of contacting him yourself (of which he mentions on his site he can't respond to all mail, and the contacts listed specifically note not to request lyrics), your best bet is...

The poem starts with a negative impression 'collision of teeth' and sets the tone for the rest of the poem and the relationship. The tone of the poem is cynical and mocking. The words 'feeling for the door' may be interpreted by some readers as a sign of looking for a way out already as the relationship is not going to last. There is some suggestion for some readers that this may n ot be the first time this has happened - the woman in...

Everyone comes to a poem with a different background, a different set of life experiences, different education so a poem can have many interpretations. Often, learned critics will unite in identifying a central theme, but sometimes 'the man in the street' may have his own insights and they are valid too. I will speak as one who Has actually had experience of a person with with this disease: Firstly, this brilliant poem gives readers a clue in...

Mon, 7 Dec 2009 04:19:36 PST

The poem is primarily about man-woman relationship or differently put the rapport of the two sexes in all its problematic textures. The guiding metaphor is that of the first kiss which becomes a sad absence, a delusive trace of memory in a subjugating relationship. When the initial romantic euphoria is gone, the harsh reality of incompatibility as well as the patriarchal institutional ideology of marriage comes to the fore. It all crystallizes...

My interpretation is that this poem is about the different ways in which the man and the woman (and maybe all men and all women) "read" the things that happen in their relationships. The way I see it, the poet is arguing that both of them are sort of groping around for the meaning of the kiss, but that they get very different answers. The guy seems to think it means things are going well. He thinks that it shows that he knows her and that...

Sun, 6 Dec 2009 15:06:31 PST

A mega-rich oddball who was constantly dogged by accusations of child abuse. A man who dangled his new-born kid by one hand from a 5th storey balcony. A man who was so emotionally disturbed that he changed from a normal black lad to a strange ghost. A man with a very long history of obsessive interest in young boys. His huge team of lawyers may have been able to prevent the law from prosecuting him, but he is as 'innocent' as O.J. Simpson. A...

Management is definitely not a science; it does not test its actions using scientific method; it does not seek to rationally explain observed phenomena; it does not undergo the rigours of peer review. And it is not an art. The Arts are the expression of human experience. The Arts communicate 'the human condition'. Management does not do this. Management is just a job. It is part of commerce and business. It is mostly administration, not...

Management is both art and science. It is the art of making people more effective than they would have been without you. The science is in how you do that. There are four basic pillars: plan, organize, direct, and monitor.

This topic reminded me of a time when I went to the theatre to see "The Glass Menagerie". It was a time when I became self-conscious as a part of the audience. I was quite young at the time, in my early twenties. If you have seen the play, you will recall how the mother is constantly yelling at her daughter, as she plays with her little glass figures. I had never seen the play before and when the audience laughed, I laughed along...

The movie Coraline entails all the basic literary elements. The plot of the story is based on conflict. A major conflict and theme in the movie is Coraline’s effort to resist and get away from the witch/spider like woman who wants to take Coraline’s youth and leave her spirit in limbo. There are major characters in the story and the protagonist, Coraline, versus the antagonist, the other mother/witch. Foreshadowing is used by the...
