English

IgorC [24]3 years ago

Answer:

What sets apart the short film from the story is the director's choice of details. The setting seemed to be made as normal as possible, a simple small town in America. He added foreshadowing by doing a close up of Tess Hutchinson's nervous, smiling face and the closeup of rocks in the boy's pocket. He had the benefit of using pauses to increase suspense, and the actress was free to express Tess's outrage at the lottery.  The overall visual of the movie is more detailed because we see the expressions of seriousness and unease in each face.

There are plenty of similarities between the story and video as well. They are both heavily suspenseful, the atmosphere appears to be dark, like something doesn't feel right. The moment were the boys are gathering rocks, in both works it was a sign they were up to no good, but the audience was not aware why until the story progressed. Both were true to the simplistic lifestyle of the townspeople, and how casually they carried out this morbid tradition for agricultural purposes.  

In conclusion, they both successful covered the themes of the story regarding  mob psychology, following traditions blindly, scapegoating, and the reliance chance-based games.

Write a speech to persuade people to vote for you as président
PolarNik [594]
If I was in this position I would say people should vote me as president because I'm a leader and I put people's needs first ahead of my own and care for my school or country. If this was in school I would say, if u vote for me I will remove homework, have better cafeteria food, have fun each day, and add vending machines. If you vote for me I would fulfill all my promises and help you out in any way I can. If this was a literal election I would say, I would make this earth a better place, enforce the law more, so no more crime, no more needs to worry, better life support and insurance, better homes for the homeless and orphanage, and also equal rights for every person equally. I would make this earth better and put your needs ahead of my own and help you guys. That's honestly what I would say if I was in the position, I hope it helps you. I want to be president so I can make a change in people's lives and my qualities, well this is my first time running for president so I could say this is a new experience and I'm patient with others, gifted with doing taxes, trustworthy and known to honor my word, and I am a citizen on the US. I also believe in a better future for this earth, that peace will be among people one day and what I want to change, is the crime and the rights, everyone should have equal rights and there should not be crime at all, so I want to change laws and enforce them, littering would be a fine of $100 because you're basically disrespecting and trashing this earth making it look like a wasteland, and I would not force people to do jury duty, I would ask for volunteers instead, and in car accidents, if say for ex person one is crashed by person 2, I would not charge person one for his car even though he was the victim, I would rather force person 2 to pay for the coverages for person 1.

Please Write a 5 paragraph essay on a childhood memory
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

    Being able to write about my early childhood memories of my first childhood friends has allowed me to become who I am today. The memories were vivid in my mind, but I had yet to put it all into words.

    How do you remember your childhood friends? Whenever I think of my childhood friends, I remember all the amazing memories we had; being in control of our neighborhood, making our own tree house, killing a few snakes, rolling a wagon around like we were cool, and just having the time of our lives.

    We did not care what people thought of us and we all encouraged one another to be ourselves, not like one another. Maybe we did not say that, but it was an unspoken thing; we were not just those friends that had fun together, we were there for one another during the hard times too. We would not give “advice” but we would say, “It is going to be okay”, and go get ice cream from the ice cream truck.

    Though one of the greatest memories I remember is the time my friends and I made a holiday: Friendoliday. Think about your closest friends, and now imagine you were conjoined at birth. That was kind of how we were meant to be and meet.

    It was beginning to get late, and we were talking about school starting soon— how we did not want our winter break to end. Somehow we got of holidays, and we decided to make our own: Friendoliday. Friendoliday was a holiday for kids that did not want their winter break to end after Christmas.

     We ran to the trash and got the tree out and began to carry it all the way to the huge dirt hill. We got three very long extension chords, combined them together, and connected old Christmas lights that Luke’s family was going to throw away since a few of the bulbs did not work.

    Those were my favorite parts as a kid. Part of me still wishes I were a kid so I could go back to those days.
