In the book “Farewell to Manzanar,” the author Jeanne Wakatsuki Houston, discovers her identity admits challenging circumstances. After Manzanar, Jeanne faced many difficulties. Such as feeling out of place at school. For instance, it states “and my feeling at eleven, went something like this: you are going to invisible anyways, so why not completely disappear (Farewell to Manzanar page 114).” This quote shows how Jeanne felt about herself, struggling and feeling left out.
This quote projects both pathos and ethos because it cites the author as a personal source using her childhood memory while also making the reader feel empathetic for the author since she was forced to deal with her perverted peer on account she could have a positive influence on his
Throughout the centuries, a commonality of time enduring plays is that they often include themes that are consistently relevant to audiences as time goes on. Henrik Ibsen 's A Doll 's House and Susan Glaspell 's Trifle are two plays that were written in 1879 and 1916, and both are still well read and enjoyed plays because of this reason. One relevant theme for contemporary viewers that can be found throughout both of these works is the character 's conflict against conformity to social norms. This struggle is relevant to present-day readers because of the increased value of the individualistic mentality that has been prevalent in our culture. By analyzing these characters during their struggle against conformity to social norms, we can discover how this theme makes these two works relevant to present-day readers.

The scene of Betty’s audition for a movie role in Hollywood, is a crucial juncture where we elements of dramatic moments unveil in the film. Reading them along with scenes of Adam’s helplessness as director whose creative freedom is taken away we get a sense that we feel certain familiarity with what we see. The dialogues, the exploitation of the female gender, the patriarchy, cynicism towards the working of movie industry are all played before us
There are many aspects of the film that are generally identifiable to diverse types of people, which is a tactful and effective way to create a receptive audience. Some of these aspects that draw the audience in and create relatability are not only personality traits of the characters, but also scenarios in which the audience might have themselves experienced or at least witnessed throughout their lives.

When barriers are erected between people, suspicion arises. Compared to the Hong Kong adaptation Infernal Affairs, Martin Scorsese surprisingly increases the air of suspicion by lessening the interaction between the two protagonists in the Departed. He intentionally shows how the ugliness of deception stimulates mistrust and how constantly being skeptical makes our identity perplexed. Therefore, this essay will explore how deception fuels suspicion and confuses one’s identity.
Truman Capote’s novel turned classic film, Breakfast at Tiffany’s is proof that, like the Cracker Jack box, the film industry has always packaged a promise of something unexpected for the masses. And that something expected, in my opinion, was Mrs. Audrey Hepburn. She conveyed pure independence and class throughout the film. Looking through reviews, the film has promised, “an Audrey Hepburn like we’ve never seen her before”, a novel character turned into this strong female persona that every woman dreams of being. Molly Haskell’s ‘From Reverence to Rape’ described Audrey Hepburn as “boyish and invulnerable” (Haskell 246), and stated that she had “crystallized every aspect of her on-screen persona that eventually becomes hers for posterity (all future generations)”.
Being a woman in the early twentieth century, she simply followed what her husband told her. She did not have her own voice and kept her thoughts to herself. With that being said, it is as if her identity is simply that of the average woman during her time. However, the days she spends in confinement go by, the identity of that woman drifts away and she is overtaken by the identity of her own mental illness. As said in Diana Martin’s journal on “Images in Psychiatry”, while the narrator in isolation she becomes “increasingly despondent and nervous”.
“I think the most ordinary person’s life is fairly dramatic; all you’ve got to do is follow some people around and look at their existence for 24 hours, and it will be horror. It will just be horror. You don’t need any beginning, middle and end at all. All you have to do is show this one day in maybe this person’s life and it’ll be horror” (Kelman).
If a reader sees someone’s name whose work they have enjoyed in the past, it could entice them to see them to go see their new feature. In a review of The Handmaiden, James Berardinelli describes the director, Chan-wook Park’s, style as, “violent and degrading”(Berardinelli) while also having, “an underlying current of dark humor”(Berardinelli), which not only would persuade fans of Park’s work, but also fans of the aspects he describes. Oftentimes, the mention of specific actors is enough for people to want to see a movie, as in today’s day and age there is a big fascination concerning celebrity culture. Most people have favorite actors, who they would see any film for, and some people have strong aversions to certain actors, so much so, that they would write off the entire movie just because they saw their name in the cast
