Abstract
This paper describes the theme in the book, "A River Runs through It", about art and its importance in our lives and the way the author, Norman Maclean, combines the sport of fly-fishing with this theme as a way of explaining what art means and how it differs from mere competence.
From the Paper
"Norman?s father who was a Presbyterian minister believed that art was ?one? way man could clearly understand God and His creation. He advocated creativity because for Norman?s father, art was the channel man used to communicate with God and to become a part of His wide universe. In short, it was not competence but mastery of art that helped man establish a direct link with the wider world around him and Art was man?s way of showing appreciation for God?s universe. This is the reason why Norman?s father tells him to create stories because he knows that this is one art form that will bring his son closer to God and nature."

Abstract
This paper discusses how the movie version of Norman Maclean?s 1976 novella, ?A River Runs Through It,? stays faithful to the original text in many respects. It looks at how Robert Redford keeps Maclean?s voice in the film, which he narrates himself, with an understated economy that reflects the spare beauty of the storytelling. It examines how this allows some of the movie?s finest and most memorable passages to illuminate the film.
From the Paper
"Norman is a studious, dark-haired man who longs to escape Montana, and teach literature. As the movie begins he has just returned home from Dartmouth. His younger, golden-haired brother Paul is perfectly happy to stay in his hometown, and has become a reporter there. Paul is beautiful: Norman says, ?If you push me far enough, all I really know is that he was a fine fisherman.? His father says, ?You know more than that, he was beautiful.? He was also a natural at fly fishing, a genius of the art. The movie portrays this beauty in part through the sheer physical beauty of the actor himself. His simple presence conveys Paul?s grace and torment. It also uses the conceit of Paul calling Norman ?The Professor? several times, especially while eating breakfast with their parents. The book never does this."

Abstract
This paper analyzes the bond between two brothers and a father in the early 1900s as described in the book novel "A River Runs Through It" by Norman McLean. It also examines the underlying religious ideas that are obvious in the way the narrator refers to the Christ's disciples as fishermen, the way the boys' father seeks answers for Paula's untimely death in his sermon, and finally, in the way Norman McLean as an old man listens for the voices in the water.
From the Paper
"When the narrator refers to Christ's disciples it is a reference to the bond between Reverend McLean and his two sons. The sons, Paul and Norman are Reverend McLean's disciples. Just like in the Bible the disciples of Reverend McLean have their flaws too. In the Bible Judas betrays Christ while in the movie Paul lives recklessly and does not think about his consequences before he acts. Paul in a sense betrays his father's teachings by taking part in acts that are not approved by the Bible. Norman comes back from college to visit his family after completing his education and applying for a job in Chicago as a teacher. Norman comes to realize that Paul is in a great deal of trouble and will not take help from Norman. "

Abstract
This paper compares Norman Maclean?s book, ?A River Runs through It?, to the movie of the same title, directed by Robert Redford. The paper presents an illustration of the limits of the visual media of film to transmit the philosophical media of prose.
From the Paper
" ?The movie isn?t as good as the book.? This phrase has become a truism about almost every filmed depiction of a novel, particularly if Hollywood is responsible for the production. However, in the case of director Robert Redford?s film of the Norman Maclean novella A River Runs Through It, a more fair critique of Redford?s effort might be that the film is inevitably different, not necessarily better. Redford took an intensely introverted, philosophical book, highly dependant upon internal as well as external character development and attempted to render it into the visual media of film."

Abstract
This paper discusses the 1998 film, "Run Lola Run," directed by Tom Tykwer. It discusses how the movie is constructed of motifs that symbolize the human relationship to the passage of time. The paper specifically focuses on the motif of running in the movie and the message that it sends to the audience. The paper looks at the examples throughout the film of this theme.
From the Paper
"Diagonal, angular, or oblique shots are sparingly used in Run Lola Run. High angle shots are often used for street scenes. For example, the bank is shown from a high angle as well as from eye level. High angle s used during the animation sequence when Lola dashes down the stairs. Moreover, the red filtered bedroom scene is shot at a high angle to depict the couple laying in bed. People are more often than not framed on screen at eye level, especially when they converse with one another. Tykwer uses low angle shots at key points. Most notably, the director combines high and low-angle shots in the same scene when one person stands over another. The effect shows different perspectives of the same situation."

Abstract
This paper reviews the film "Run Silent, Run Deep", produced 13 years after the end of the Second World War and starring some of the premier actors of the time. The author gives the film high praise, calling it an intense human drama of ego and duty. According to the author, the film avoids pandering to Cold War stereotypes, instead examining how in the midst of horrific conflict, the line between the ego and duty can easily become blurred.
From the Paper
"Run Silent, Run Deep brilliantly captures the claustrophobic and tension-ridden atmosphere of a submarine at war. Made in 1958, it's a fast paced and thoroughly engaging wartime drama that stars some of the preeminent actors of the day: Clark Gable and Burt Lancaster. Alongside the two leading men is an excellent ensemble cast that includes Don Rickles and Jack Warden."

Abstract
The preservation of historic sites and of vintage architecture has become a major focus for many in the contemporary period. Different theorists have addressed this issue as they have also sought to motivate the movement for the preservation of the worthy and the important. This paper examines how two such theorists with somewhat different approaches to the subject are William Sumner Appleton and Norman Morrison Isham, both of whom left writings on the subject as well as took action in furtherance of their goals and their idea of the need for preservation.
From the Paper
"William Sumner Appleton lived at the end of the nineteenth and beginning of the twentieth centuries in the Boston area, where at the time, preservation was maturing from a string of spontaneous efforts to an institutionalized movement. As this took place, both the aims of preservation aims and its methods were transformed, a process in which Appleton played a key role. In the nineteenth century, Boston did not have an organization dedicated to preservation as such. The Bostonian Society was meant to be such an organization, but the group seemed to be satisfied by the single project of looking after the Old State House. The Trustees of Reservations was also nominally interested in historic structures, but in practice the group refused to accept any such structures for years because they had no means of maintaining them.

A paper about Norman Rockwell's painting entitled "Missed!"
900 words (approx. 3.6 pages), 3 sources, MLA, $ 31.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines one of Norman Rockwell's paintings, entitled "Missed!", which depicts young boys playing golf and missing a putt, as a way of demonstrating both the artisanship that defines Rockwell's work as well as the way in which his images help to create a sort of cultural map of many of the significant events and beliefs of American life in the 20th century.
From the Paper
"Norman Rockwell's work has for years been dismissed by art critics and cognoscenti as being egregiously overly sentimental as well as lacking in all of the nuance and ambiguity that are defining elements of high art in the post-Renaissance West. However, while there is certainly some merit in the former charge, a close examination of Rockwell's work reveals not only a high level of artisanship, something that even his critics admit to being present in his work but also the kind of..."
