Susanna Kaysen's "Girl, Interrupted"
[ send me this essay ]
6 pages in length. There exist myriad influences that can prompt a person into sidestepping what is considered to be normal behavior. Susanna Kaysen's "Girl, Interrupted" strives to answer the long-standing and elusive question: What is normal? When Kaysen was eighteen years old, even then at such a young age she realized that she did not respond to conventional social cues as set down by societal dictates. Her literary account relives her eighteen months worth of sometimes harrowing and other times enlightening experiences, all put forth for the sole purpose of opening eyes and minds to the reality of mental illness. The writer discusses Kaysen's account, as well as draws parallels with Tamara L. Roleff's "Mental Illness (Opposing Viewpoints)" and Gerald Grob's "The Mad Among Us : A History of the Care of America's Mentally Ill." Bibliography lists 8 sources.

Technology In Film
[ send me this essay ]
7 pages in length. Technology plays a significant role in virtually every nuance of contemporary society; however, one might not necessarily associate such technological advancement with the film industry. Even as far back as early twentieth century, the rumblings of technology were present – albeit ever so slightly in some cases – that ultimately set precedent for bigger, more grandiose technological progression to follow. Such films as the 1948 version of MacBeth, Saboteur (1942), 1950's Sunset Boulevard, And Then There Were None from 1945, School for Scandal (1930), and 1957's Oedipus Rex exemplify the extent to which movie technology has held an important place in film history. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

Television And Its Impact Upon Rising Juvenile Violence
[ send me this essay ]
Experiencing life requires much more than merely going through the paces of one's existence; rather, the various developmental stages inherent to personal growth require cognitive awareness in order to achieve a true state of being. Myriad people do not realize the abundant elements that comprise one's personal development, often incorrectly surmising that one's transition from childhood to adolescence, marriage to family and advanced education to career are all a matter of happenstance. This presumption, however, does not reflect the intrinsic responsibilities of external influence – such as television – upon one's personal development, which has been suspected of influencing the rising violent tendency of juveniles. Bibliography lists 22 sources.
