... of war. In the second stanza Owen is describing a gas attack on the soldiers as they are trudging back to camp. Owen describes the soldiers fumbling to get their mask fastened, all but one, a lone soldier. He is struggling to get his mask on but doesn’t get it fastened quick enough and suffers from the full effects of deadly gas: Gas! Gas! Quick boys!-An ecstasy of fumbling, Fitting the clumsy helmets just in time; But someone still was yelling out and stumbling And flound’ring like a man in fire or lime... Dim, through the misty panes and thick green light, As under a green sea, I saw him drowning. The way Owen describes a comrade watching as a lone soldier is struggling to get his m ...

... earlier in the day. Dunson and Rupp had seen the smoke from the attack that killed the girl as they were riding away. It seems to me that Indians in this film are portrayed as dangerous enemies who are very sneaky. Also in this part of the movie Dunson and Rupp somehow knew how to answer Indian calls, even though they were two white guys from Missouri. It also intrigued me that the two of them shot every Indian that came out of the bushes the very first time. Good shootn'! The day after the Indian attack they crossed the and headed south. This is where they ran into a young teenage boy (Matt), who was the only survivor of the wagon train that was headed for California. Matt nat ...

... a little of everything in his hacked-up version of Hemmingway, and when the sparks start to settle he has Bacall do a little number at the piano bar which may be irrelevant, but Bacall's lovely and libidinous manor far makes up for it. The film may lack class but it's all the more entertaining because of it. Bacall and Bogart strike a match at the start of the film and the flame outlives Bogart. The chemistry is so strong between the two that you can't help but believe there is more to their romance then what's scripted. You're right too - Bogart and Bacall fell in love during production and were married. This off-screen chemistry is a definite contributor ...

... black communities, as defined by the constitution of the United States." And their tenth point was, "We want land, bread, housing, education, clothing, justice and peace. And as our major political objective, and United Nations-supervised plebiscite to be held throughout the black colony in which only black colonial subjects will be allowed to participate, for the purpose of determining the will of black people as to their national destiny." With these ten points as their fuel the Black Panther Party was ready to take on the nation. In the mid sixties Newton and Seale's organization took shape.

... group of the state's citizen totaling 10 percent of the voters in the 1860 presidential election had signed oaths of loyalty to the Union. Under this plan new governments were formed in Louisiana, Tennessee and Arkansas but the Congress refused to recognize them. Republicans in Congress did not want a quick restoration, for the reason that it would bring Democratic representatives and senators to Washington, and in 1864 Congress passed the Wade-Davis Reconstruction Bill. This bill would have delayed the process of rejoining the Union until 50 percent of the people took an oath of loyalty but Lincoln pocket vetoed the bill. Abraham Lincoln was assassinated just as the South surrendered i ...

... the concept of space, as well as anatomy. Lorenzo Ghiberti studied the anatomical proportions of the body, Filippo Brunelleschi was interested in mathematics in architecture, Leone Battista Alberti, who was skilled in painting, sculpture and architecture, stressed the study of mathematics as the underlying principle of the arts (Fleming, 285). Leonardo also looked at the geometric proportions of the human body (Calder, 197). In painting, but especially in sculpture, artists were inspired to express the structural forms of the body beneath its external appearance.

... song; I thought that love would last forever: I was wrong. The stars are not wanted now: put out every one, Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun, Pour away the ocean and sweep up the woods; For nothing now can ever good. “Funeral Blues” is a Song poem, in which it has a certain rhythm, or beat, which can be sung to. This poem is called a blues song. The blues were originally music developed by the slaves in the south that spoke of sadness, pain, or a time of loss. Blues songs were traditionally composed of three-line stanzas where the first two lines are identical and followed by a concluding riming third line. However, Auden does not include the “three-line stanzas” in his p ...

... relaxation. He called in an “occupational disease.” One of Stanislavsky’s most famous students, Lee Strasberg, believed it to be the actor’s worst enemy. The exercise Stanislavsky developed for relaxation is meant to help the actor find hidden tension in all muscles of the body, most importantly the face, where most mental tension manifests itself. The exercise begins with the actor sitting in a straight backed, armless chair. First, the actor must find the position that he or she would be most likely to sleep in, if absolutely necessary. Then, starting with the fingers and working all the muscles in sequence, finding the tension hiding in each muscle, and will the muscle to relax. ...

... (Mr. T) say "Shut up fool!"; were they that interested in seeing if Hannibal's (George Peppard) plan always comes together, or was it truly the violence that sold the show? Compared to NBC's new experimental shows like Hill Street Blues, and St. Elsewhere, whose innovative use of realism sparked the Third Golden Age of Television and quality TV as we know it; The A-Team (TAT) is just another parody of the action/adventure genre. Or is it? The truth is The A-Team 's popularity was so brilliant because it provided something for everyone. TAT created a new genre by mixing old ones. I intend to demystify the formula that was exclusive t o TAT created by exploring the charact ...
