In many of the films surveyed in this class, the point of view is from a child; many times, that child is a young girl. Many of these movies were made close to or after the death of the Francisco Franco and his dictatorship. That fact is something very important that I kept in mind as I watched the films. The two films that will be analyzed are “El Sur” and “El Espíriu de la Colmena” both written by Victor Erice. These two films are from the perspective of a child. This fact is important because…

Girl in Hyacinth Blue: Reverse Chronological Order. The main twist to Girl in Hyacinth Blue was that it was told in reverse chronological order unlike most books, but was it entirely necessary? When it comes down to new (especially books) there aren't many “new” tricks that can capture the reader, but in Girl in Hyacinth Blue the author made a rather interesting decision to write the book backwards(starting at the end and ending at the start). Was making the Girl in Hyacinth Blue in reverse…

This article is rather short and consists of an ultra-compressed biography, a works section, and an interview. The majority of the article is focused on the interview with little attention given to the biography. However, the space about the books he has written uses nice filler text instead of just listing them. The beginning of this article is useful for the most basic information about Robert Jordan. It gives his real name, where he was born, and his most distinguished accomplishments, but…

Timing is Everything The element of time in literary works is crucial. There are many ways to use the element of time, including: flashbacks, flash-forwards, foreshadowing, diary entries, etc. In the dystopian novel, Z for Zachariah, Robert C. O’Brien manipulates the element of time to add detail and suspense to his novel. By using “journal entry” writing, the reader is lead to believe that what they’re reading is a girl’s diary; it also progresses the time passed within the book itself.…

I used to be the person who would go to certain classifications of movies. Anything that was labeled Independent I always thought was for the fancy French person who got something out of it that my simple non-artistic mind couldn't possibly grasp. One day I stumbled across a movie that had good reviews but it was labeled the dreaded genre, Independent. Oh whoa to me I felt like it would be too weird for my mind to grasp. Let me tell you, if you were like me, you are dead wrong about the…

One of the few advantages that films have over novels is their ability to actually show the audience, in the visual sense, the events of a story. As the saying goes, “A picture is worth a thousand words”, which is applicable to several scenes in the film. I think that one of the most important of these moments is when Homer enters the telegraph office to find Grogan dead and sees the message meant for his family about Marcus’ death. While this was quite a somber scene in the novel, I found it to…
