"The script for the film "Good Will Hunting" won an Oscar for two lifelong friends from Boston, Ben Affleck and Matt Damon. In the film, two lifelong friends from South Boston Southies spend their time playing baseball, drinking beer and working blue-collar jobs. Will Hunting and Chuckie Sullivan, played by Damon and Affleck respectively, are from the wrong side of the tracks.

Abstract
"Good Will Hunting", directed by Gus Van Sant, has been described as an 'edge' or 'independent' film. The paper defines an independent film as one which provides an alternative point of view to the dominant discourse provided by mainstream films. The 'edge' or 'independent' genre of the film is discussed in this paper.
From the Paper
"Secondly, the choice of subject matter of the film is highly idiosyncratic. Rather than choosing an ?every person,? the film selects a very gifted individual with an intellect most filmgoers cannot identify with. Rather than validating American notions about success, the Will of the title spurns such notions. He is more interested in his own gifts, in a very personal and arrogant way, than of conventional collegiate success. To find himself and to realize his gifts, the protagonist must abandon his friends and old way of life as well as conventional American notions of monetary and intellectual achievement."

From the Paper
"Will is a young man gifted with a photographic memory and a genius IQ, but he prefers to hang out with his blue collar South Boston friends rather than to use his talents. This is likely the result of deep psychological trauma he suffered by first being orphaned and then being physically abused in a series of foster homes. Will works as a janitor at MIT where he anonymously solves math theorems posted on a bulletin board to stump graduate students. A math professor ... "

Abstract
This paper examines how the movie "Good Will Hunting" proves that psychological and environmental obstacles need to be challenged in order to be overcome. In particular, it looks at how this relates especially to the life of Will. His attitude was very troubled, but when he created goals and dreams his life changed to the better.
From the Paper
"Pride was another issue that was introduced to the viewer. Now pride was both Will's problem, and the professor's in math. As Will was given the opportunity to go see a therapist, instead of serving time in jail for a crime he did, he refused. The reason was pride. Will had for a long time read books, and he was very confident that he was not in need of any therapist. He kept saying: "I don't need therapy." The professor had another problem with pride. He was so proud about his life, that he compared it to all others, and believed that his life was much better than theirs. One he compared himself to, was an old friend of his, named Shawn. But Shawn saw through the professor and challenged his big ego. This is what Shawn said to the professor: "You're fucking scared of failure!" And it was true."

Movie: "Good Will Hunting", 2005.
This paper discusses juvenile delinquency as depicted in the movie, written by Ben Affleck and Matt Damon, "Good Will Hunting".

Abstract
This paper relates that, to be diagnosed as a juvenile delinquent, a youth must show an established pattern of behavior, which demonstrates continuous disregard for society's standards, rules or the rights of others. It explains that based on this definition, Will Hunting is a juvenile delinquent. The author points out that the agencies responsible for watching children in need apparently were not able to help Will Hunting, who was raised in an abusive home, physically beaten and psychologically abused but apparently no one ever noticed and intervened. The paper relates that the movie demonstrates that the situation around teens in trouble with the law may be far more complex than it appears; may be struggling to find their way on their own because their families have failed to provide the guidance they needed.
From the Paper
"The movie "Good Will Hunting", written by Ben Affleck and Matt Damon, tells the story of an older teen named Will Hunting, a troubled young man with a troubled past. Will Hunting works as a janitor at the prestigious Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where he reveals mathematical brilliance. One of the professors puts a complex physics problem on a blackboard outside his classroom, and invites his students to attempt to solve it. One night while Will is cleaning the hall, he stops at the board, considers it a moment, and rapidly solves it without signing his name. Eventually the professor realizes that it is the young janitor who solved the problem none of his students could tackle. At about the same time, Will gets in trouble with the law, a position he has been in before."

Abstract
The author feels that ?Good Will Hunting? is an excellent film, artfully written and produced film and well placed in its location. The paper reviews the film as it explores one important part of the human condition from the viewpoint of all of the major characters: Fear of rejection is overcome by the joy of really connecting with others.
From the Paper
"The name of the main character, Will Hunting, allows for a play on words in the title. Will is hunting for a way to fit into a world that doesn?t make sense to him. He has two major barriers to connecting to people. First, he is a true self-educated genius with a photographic memory. Second, he is an orphan who was shuffled from foster home to foster home and was sometimes viciously beaten by foster parents."

The Art Film and the Genre Film, 2004.
Art and genre criticism in four classic films.

Abstract
An analysis of two genre films and two art films - Antonioni's "Blow Up," Kelly/Donen's "Singin' in the Rain", Truffaut's "The 400 Blows", and Sirk's "All That Heaven Allows". The validity of both genre and art film criticism are examined.
From the Paper
"By its failure to accommodate the excess generated by its subject matter, All That Heaven Allows is not only critiquing the genre of melodrama, it also exposes the contradictions and conflicts present in American bourgeois society (Bourget, 1995, 45). However the subversive excess and contradictions present in the film prevent it from being ?just another melodrama?. Sirk worked within yet against the constraints of the Hollywood studio system to subvert the genre, and although the film is superficially a generic 1950s Hollywood melodrama, Sirk?s characteristic stylistic technique marks him as an auteur, a position usually associated with the art rather than the genre film."

Abstract
This paper discusses the film 'As Good as It Gets' starring Helen Hunt and Jack Nicholson. The paper critiques the film from a personal perspective. The paper concludes by letting us know that 'As Good as It Gets' is a film that you just cant help liking despite it's various flaws.
From the Paper
"Even with these brilliant actors giving their best performances, there was something odd about the reluctant romance between Hunt and Nicholson. Either it was the stiffness that Nicholson exhibited being Nicholson of course or there was something wrong with the way they had come together, I cant really say but the romance was something that didn't sit well with me. I liked the movie more for its simply brilliant script, crisp dialogue and an interesting storyline that bring the lives of three characters together in a way that engulfs the viewer completely. The script had incidentally been penned by James J. Brooks and Mark Andrus who have had to their credit seven to grossing romantic comedy scripts since 1978."

The African Hunting Dog, 2006.
An overview of the characteristics of the Cape hunting dog, also known as the African hunting dog.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The hunting strategies of the African wild dog were behavior once shrouded in inaccurate myth. The dogs were formerly considered among the roughest and meanest species on the African savanna and bushland. The paper shows that they were noted for driving out all other species in their regions, for mutilating their victims beyond recognition, as well as for consuming their own kind who had fallen prey to illness or exhaustion. The paper shows, however, that researchers have recently taken a closer look at the animals' morphological, physiological and adaptive characteristics, their methods of locating prey, as well as their prey-capture techniques and food allocation practices. New studies have presented a wildly different version of the African wild dog.
From the Paper
"According to recent research, the prime habitat for wild dogs is not the open, grassy plains but rather the woodland-savanna areas which support larger populations of prey due to the interspersion of seasonally-flooded grasslands in these areas. The animals' diet consists largely of impala (80-85%), with the remaining percentage distributed among red lechwe, reedbuck, steenbok (antelope types), and the juveniles of kudu, buffalo, tsessebe, zebra and wildebeest. Most of these animals are nearly ten times the weight of the average hunting dog. They are also common in the regions where wild dogs exist, so that locating their prey is not often difficult."

Abstract
This short paper is a movie review of the film, "Good Will Hunting". The author recaps the plot of the film and then delves into its metaphoric and psychological aspects.
From the Paper
" Throughout the movie, social issues were brought forth. The most obvious social issue was poverty. As stated above, Will lives in South Boston in a one-room apartment. It is a very dirty and dingy place with an old stove and furnace, a mattress on the floor for a bed and a few chairs. He works from job to job. His only mode of transportation is the train and his best friend, Chucky? car when he picks Will up for work at a construction site. Another social issue is intragenerational mobility. With Will?s god-given talents, he has the ability to go from the bottom rung to the top level whenever he pleases, with the help Professor Lambeau and his connections with people in high places. The movie gives Will four close relationships. Two are his relationships with Sean and Professor Lambeau. They are both, in sense father figures."

Hound Hunting, 2004.
An analysis of whether hound hunting should be made illegal.
2,925 words (approx. 11.7 pages), 17 sources, MLA, $ 86.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses the issue of hound hunting and questions whether the practice should be outlawed. The paper contends that one would scarcely want to discourage hound hunting if the result would be an increase in cruelty, particularly if it means that animals that might otherwise escape will instead be poisoned and trapped and suffer from the genetic loss of their most valued members. The paper examines whether it is better for generations of dogs to live very short, but relatively happy lives, or for the entire breed to suffer massive casualties and prevent future dogs from being born to such lives. The paper claims that a radical societal change is needed in general before a good answer can be given to this question, for as a society we must decide the role of animals.
Outline
Introduction
Reasons why Hound Hunting Should be Illegal
Reasons not to Make Hound Hunting Illegal
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Great Britain recently banned hunting with hounds, much to the chagrin of a significant portion of the population who insisted that fox-hunting was a fundamental part of their culture. Badger and stag hunting had already been outlawed. (Jones) Here in America, dog hunting remains legal in all states, and sport dogs are commonly used to hunt bear, deer, hogs, coons, birds, and other prey. Indeed, even though the "sport" of dog fighting has become illegal across the country and is considered a felony in most states, in many states it is still legal to use dogs to fight and kill pigs in a so-called "rodeo." Much the same training is put into preparing dogs for hog baiting and hog hunting as for dog fighting, which also makes prosecution of dog fighting more difficult."

Seal Hunting, 2006.
Presents three main arguments against seal hunting.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper present an argument against seal hunting, relying on three main points: seal hunting is inhumane, government regulation is lacking, and there isn't much information surrounding the issue. The author of this paper argues that the practice of seal hunting should be discontinued until policy can be better enforced and there is more provable data regarding pain to seals, economic costs of seal hunting, etc.
From the Paper
"As I hinted in my introduction, there is much information surrounding the debate over seal hunting. On almost any point, for or against, there is a competing claim with competing evidence. In acknowledging this, I do not intend to cede that the evidence offered in this section is chosen at random or for convenience. I simply recognize that scientific fact is lacking from the debate. Admitting this, I would argue the following points: 1. Some in the fishing industry have argued that the number of cods is decreasing due to seals hunting cods."
