The Middle Passage/Deslauriers
[ send me this essay ]
A 3 page research paper that describes French director Guy Deslauriers’ 2000 film “The Middle Passage” endeavors to portray the horrors endured by Africans abducted from their homes and forcibly transported to the New World. The film is a “stylistic gamble” as it is “without dialogue, individualized characters or conventional narrative arc” (Harvey 26). In other words, the film attempts to offer a contemporary audience the illusion that they are looking directly at history and the atrocities perpetuated on captured Africans. The main question, therefore, in evaluating this film is whether or not this depiction is accurate. The writer discusses this question, drawing on the narrative of Olaudah Equiano. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

The Mixed Messages found in Articles from Current Issues of “In Style” Magazine
[ send me this essay ]
This is a 3 page paper discussing articles found in consecutive issues of In Style magazine. When reading a number of consecutively published issues of In Style magazine, readers quickly become accustomed to the many mixed messages, use of language and images which are portrayed in some of the articles. Largely, the magazine is a fashion and beauty magazine; the main aspects which no doubt attract readers interested in fashion and beauty. Throughout the issues however, there are some mixed messages which seem to indicate that attractive components in women also include those beyond beauty and fashion. While some articles state that women with confidence and “fascinating minds” may be good role models for the readers, largely the magazine focuses on beauty tips which are able to conceal “flaws” in women. While this may be disconcerting to anyone who may be reading the magazine in hopes of a realistic portrayal of women, the letters and opinions printed in the magazine received from the readers actually reflect a reading audience which is satisfied with its scope. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
