The story focuses on telling about Kane but is about a reporter trying to seek what and why his last words meant. A reporter, Thompson was trying to seek why Kane’s last words were rosebud and what it was.

The team of Marty and his friends are about to embark on an adventure throughout the Pacific. That is because they are searching for a giant squid. Not only would the Architeuthis help cover expenses of the trip since the team is almost broke, but also finally the company would become a solid competitor to Noah Blackwood and his Arks. When Travis Wolfe, a main character Grace’s father, decided to venture out to collect a giant squid from the depths of a New Zealand coast, he had a bad feeling from the start. He couldn’t tell his employees about this, however, because they are starting to hear stories of the haunted ship.
Savages by Joe Kane follows the author as he engages with the Huaorani, an indigenous group who is found in the depths of the Oriente in Ecuador. His journey has several parts, for he has a wife and child that he goes home to on occasion, yet there is a common theme throughout each: The Huaorani just want to be heard [by the world]. The Huaorani first interacted with white people when missionaries attempted — and finally succeeded — in contacting these “savages” to educate and “civilize” them. This initial contact opened up an access channel which oil companies eventually took advantage of when Ecuador discovered oil beneath its rainforest. Contact with oil companies created a lot of problems for the Huaorani.
I played a lot of monopoly growing up. like most players i loved drawing the yellow community chest card and discovering a bank error in my favor-collect 200! it never occurred to me to not take the cash. after all, all banks have plenty of money and if one makes an error in your favor, why argue? i haven’t played monopoly in twenty years but i would still take 200$ today.
Mr. Kane is arguing to Mr. Thatcher that he is going to lose 60 million dollars over the next 60 years, but does not express much concern. Kane is very sarcastic in his approach and has a small smirk on his face during the shot. The lighting is from the bottom, but very low light. Deep focus is also used in this scene, even though we are very close to Kane’s face we can still see Thatcher’s head. From this shot, I suggest that Kane is trying to tell Thatcher that he does not care about losing money and that he is going to do whatever he wants to do.
• Structure of film : The film is not in a continuous way. It’s more like in flashbacks of people thinking about Kane and the important event related to him. It also has a repetition of the Xanadu palace scene in the first and last scene. The film is also from the perspective of other people.
Listening and caring skills according to John Savage offers specific and teachable listening skills for improving relationships among those who do ministry. The skills are taught through oral exercises and unfailingly helpful examples from actual congregational situations. Some of the skills include expression of feelings and emotions which includes the skill of direct expression of feeling, indirect expression of emotions and direct expression of feelings. Our feelings and emotions can be induced by many things from the external world. The more [one] is aware of the emotions and feelings the more you can determine how you will act or behave (John Savage 49, 50).
In Thompson’s quest to uncover the mystery of “rosebud,” he meets the people that were involved in Kane’s life and the effect he had on them. First of all comes
There is a combination of colour and black and white images which feature rapidly throughout the film (Hersey, 2002). The colour images which represent a perfectly normal and happier environment rapidly move to black and white, which is usually associated to threating events, highlighting the bleakness of the expected outcome of the scene (lburgess3, 2013 and Natural Born Killers, 1994). There is animalistic reference with the rattle snake symbolising poison and death and the wolf symbolising the hunt for prey, both symbolising the outcomes of the subjects within the scene. There is also a man holding a newspaper with the headline “666 Death” before he dissolves away from the scene and for most of the scene being black and white because of the murders that are committed by Mickey and Mallory. The end of the scene is in colour with the pair celebrating their victory in dance and a projector displaying fireworks in the background
As a child, Kane was happy as we see in the scene where he is playing in the snow outside the family’s home, even though his parents owned a boarding house they were categorized low class. But all that changed for Kane, when Thatcher took him from this low class lifestyle, and placed in what only seemed like the American dream, a luxurious life. Overtime he finds that those materialistic things don’t make him happy and the exchange of emotional security for financial security is ultimately displeasing. The American dream becomes indented for Kane. As he grows-up, he uses his wealth and power to build and buy his own happiness (love).
