    Meredith and Elizabeth’s headstrong personalities have made them powerful characters in Grey’s Anatomy and Pride and Prejudice. This is shown when Meredith held a live bomb inside of a patient so they could safely excise it. Her job was significant because she had to make sure it would not detonate and kill everyone.

    These two stories are both about crime but with separate styles, uses of context, setting plot, and what was the crime. One is petty while the other disturbing. Both provoke certain emotions. The story of “Notes of a Native Son” is Baldwin had been arrested in France for stealing a bed sheet. Yet Capote in “In Cold Blood” relates a story of murdering an innocent family. The one that provoked more reaction to be overall is surprisingly Baldwin’s story particularly because of the fact it’s a story of a man suffering for theft that wasn’t his fault, and feel his emotions. While the other story Capote tells is about two detectives hearing a man transverse entirely through his consideration of murder he committed. Emotional and eye widening yet…

    Present within Ridley Scott's 1982 film Blade Runner and Mary Shelley's 1818 novel Frankenstein, there is a pivotal moment of realization where the artificially created forms, in this case, the monster and Rachel, submit to what others expect of them, in effect, forfeiting their own personal wants. Within Frankenstein, this shift is first put in motion when the DeLacey finally sees the creature and acting out of fear and disgust “dashed [the monster] to the ground, and struck [him] violently with a stick” to which the monster flees, escaping continued harm (71). Although in Blade Runner, Rachel wasn’t physically beaten she is forced to flee her place of employment out of fear someone would come and harm her because of what she was. Essentially,…

    In Cold Blood is a 1967 film directed by Richard Brooks. The film is based on the book by Truman Capote, having the same title as the film. The closeness and accuracy of events between the book and the film are tied closely together. Some of the film was actually shot on location where the fatal Clutter murders took place. While reading the book, the reader learns that Capote uses a form of writing that could be difficult to portray in a film setting. As the storyline in “In Cold Blood” progresses, Capote shifts scenes to show the Clutter’s in their everyday routine, as well as the killers as they approach their victims. Brooks does an excellent job shifting scenes in the film, but not so much that it becomes confusing to the viewer. Although the book and film are closely related, there are a couple of differences that are quite noticeable and could in fact change a viewer/reader’s opinion of the book and or film. The character descriptions in Capote’s book are much stronger than those of Brooks’. The two sources also have two different endings.…

    Shelly and Scott reflect, nature and the natural world in the texts they create, Frankenstein and Blade Runner using literary devices and societal context. In Blade Runner, Scott uses the aspects of the 20th century tradition of dystopias and film noir as literary devices. Throughout Shelly's work of Frankenstein, the romantic and sublime themes of the era are examined as literary devices. The appreciation for the natural wonder of the world is evident throughout Frankenstein when Shelly emphasises to the reader, the sweeping landscapes that are stark, barren and majestic, nature therefore is used as a literary device to simulate the readers sense of emotions, an example of this is when Victor walks through the Alps to relieve himself from…

    There are many similarities and differences between the two central characters, Edward and Frankenstein. Both Frankenstein’s Monster and Edward Scissorhands were made by man, not conceived by the union of a man and a woman, they both had to be taught right from wrong and they both ran away from a society that rejected them sooner or later. In Edward Scissorhands, Edward was brought into a society that in the beginning he did not understand, as well as in Frankenstein’s Monster as soon as he was brought to life, he had little if any understanding of his surroundings. For example when Edward was first brought into this new society he found things to be excicting and new, but Frankenstein did not engage into the society as quick as Edward had. Edward Scissorhands and Frankenstein have many differences as well as similarities.…

    Ambrogio was a young adventurer. Born and raised in Italy, he had always longed to travel to Greece to have his fortune told by the Oracle of Delphi. When he was an adult, he got on a boat and sailed to the western edge of Greece, near Astakos. He traveled east until he eventually reached the city of Delphi. Delphi was home to a great temple of Apollo, the sun god. It was also the home of the Pythia, better known as the Oracles. The Pythia would sit in a chamber within the temple and speak of prophecies, inspired by Apollo, to those who came to seek the Oracle's wisdom. When Ambrogio finally arrived at the temple, he went to speak to the Pythia. The Pythia, whose words were often cryptic, said only a few words: "The curse. The moon. The blood will run."…
