However, there were other actors who didn't seem as though they were emotionally connected with their character as much and this can be due to the fact that some of the characters didn't have really emotionally characters or parts but because of this many decided to connect with their character on a skill-based fashion. That is to say that it originates externally through skills, like vocal…

The Rabbits Written by John Marsden and illustrated by Shaun Tan, 'The Rabbits' is an allegorical tale of colonisation. First published in 2000 by Lothian Books, the book parallels the real life happenings of the British invasion and colonisation of Australia and the effects on the Indigenous Australians. Tan's illustrations open his audience's eyes with his peculiar, bold, semi-abstract style that conveys the anxiety and bewilderment of the possums as they bear witness to the mass destruction that follows along with the rabbits. Already in the beginning, the text from Opening One "The rabbits came many grandparents ago.…

In the play “fences” the word “fence” itself is used not only as a title, but has a metaphorical connection to each character in the movie.

The main point of the film is to display the era of the 1930s and how racism, prejudice and injustice reigned in the United States, the real America. I believe the purpose of this particular film was to display and promote the comparison of killing a mocking bird to executing an innocent individual. In the film the comparison is to an African American male, Tom Robinson. A main character named Atticus Finch declares in a conversation, "I’d rather you shot at tin cans in the backyard, but I know you’ll go after birds.…
