Abstract
The paper discusses how the purpose of the film "Full Metal Jacket" is different than that of the film "Raging Bull." The paper explains that in "Full Metal Jacket" the creation of an atmosphere is essentially more important then the narrative or story itself, while in "Raging Bull" the narrative structure and the story of an individual's life is at the artistic center of concern. In this light, the paper highlights the differences between the films, such as the usage of background and support elements and different approaches to technical issues such as lighting, camera angles and editing.
Outline:
Introduction
Full Metal Jacket
Raging Bull
From the Paper
"An analysis of these two films reveals that there are obvious differences in terms of their usage of background and support elements, such as setting and decor, as well as different approaches to technical issues such as lighting and camera angles and editing. These aspects of cinematic art are inextricably related to the style of the director as well as to the aims and intentions of the film. In any successful film aspects such as setting and environment are artistically linked to the various thematic and ideological undercurrents in the film. Background and set for example can be as important as script and acting in conveying certain moment of insight and perception in a film like Full Metal Jacket, for example. Therefore various aspects such as scenic environment, decor and sound should be borne in mind. A comprehsive analysis of a film cannot neglect these aspects and they are often integral to the shape and narrative trajectory of the film as a whole."

From the Paper
"The overall color scheme of "Full Metal Jacket" involves a shift toward the green in art direction and toward the blue in terms of lighting. The green is seen in the tinge of the walls of the barracks, in the uniforms, and in the choices made throughout the movie for the surroundings (the green of the foliage at Paris Island, what is left of the green in the war zone of Vietnam, the sickly cast to the war scenes, the green of military bases everywhere, and so on).
The blue shift in the light and the prevalence of green places a distance between viewer and action. These are cold colors, and the blue adds a sense of documentary to scenes like the opening where the soldiers are getting their haircuts. Blue is emphasized in the night scenes, with a blue filter adding an ominous and mysterious tinge to the action. Blue makes the inter..."

Abstract
This paper explains that, in Martin Scorsese's "Raging Bull", Jake La Motta (Robert DeNiro) is constantly at odds with himself and with the people around him. The author points out Scorsese's use of the formal elements of film making to convey the visceral nature of what it is like to be in the ring and even to be one of the fighters during a fight. The paper describes, scene by scene, a pivotal sequence, the second fight between Jake La Motta and Sugar Ray Robinson, which demonstrates this visceral effect through lighting and composition for mise en scene, camera work for cinematography, editing and sound. The paper concludes that, in this sequence, Scorsese effectively plays with time, framing, light and sound to create feelings of defenselessness and power, victory and shame, during and after a pivotal and crucial fight.
From the Paper
"The first shot of the sequence begins as a handheld, high angled close-up on Sugar Ray Robinson's feet, dancing and shifting about in the ring. We hear a commentator on the stadium speakers, and the cheering crowd as La Motta's feet enter the frame. A title appears in the bottom center of the frame: "La Motta vs Sugar Ray Robinson Detroit 1943" in true 1940s television style. The camera rises (or tilts) up to reveal the back torso of La Motta and Robinson in front of him, ready to fight. Then we see a medium close-up of Robinson, over La Motta's left shoulder."

Abstract
The paper describes the two extremes of mankind seen in the film, ?Full Metal Jacket,? in which Matthew Modine plays Private Joker, a soldier confused by the duality of man. It discusses how Joker is paired up with Private Gomer Pile in the film to show the contrast of success and failure. The paper shows how, throughout the movie, Kubrick plays with the idea of pairs to let us know that some things only appear as two opposites when they are in fact similar in many ways. It describes how Joker?s confusion is a key theme in the movie, the contradiction of love and hate in wartime.
From the Paper
"Kubrick uses a confusion between good and evil to portray the notion of two sides of mankind. During a line up at boot camp the drill instructor asks Private Joker, ?Private Joker, do you believe in the virgin Mary?? Joker answers no, and is smacked across the face. The drill sergeant proceeds to ask him the same question over again, and Joker again answers no, and explains that he is an atheist. Joker tells the sergeant that if he reverses his retort then he will be subject to more extensive abuse. The sergeant admires Joker?s loyalty and grants him a promotion."

From the Paper
"This paper will be concerned with the Vietnam War and the anti-war film. Most critics have agreed that true antiwar films are virtually impossible to achieve. Many films which have been defined as anti-war films actually end up justifying or even glorifying the idea of warfare. In the early 1960s, ... claimed that the first criteria of an anti-war film is that it "not do positive harm by predisposing its audience toward war". ... most so-called anti-war films fail in meeting this criteria because they tend to glorify violence rather than condemn it. ... points out that "the images of senseless violence, horror, and waste that are usually employed in the commercially successful 'anti-war' films without doubt have a pornographic effect and remain in the soul as excitants and further incitements" . Such anti-war films do not ... "

Raging High vs. Self Esteem, 2006.

Abstract
This paper looks at a chapter which makes a comparison between low levels of self-esteem in high school students and the high prevalence of cliques. The first part summarizes and details the workings of the article, while the rest analyzes the writing.
From the Paper
"The article entitled "Kicking Back at Raging High" begins with provocative questions of high interest regarding self-esteem issues for teenagers and comparisons between cliques in high schools. As the chapter reveals more and more descriptive information regarding these cliques, however, it begins to lose its appeal as it focuses on statements which appear trite in comparison to the insight of the opening remarks. While the ideas in this piece are informative and true, further comparisons into the nature of cliques and the psychology lurking behind each one which feeds into low self-esteem would have lead to a more insightful and captivating article. "Raging High" begins revealingly with three scenarios of maladaptive high school students, and then jumping immediately to what the author believes is the crucial issue at hand: self-esteem."

Robert De Niro, 2004.

Abstract
This paper examines how in the films, "Raging Bull", "Goodfellas", and "Casino", all directed by Martin Scorsese, the characters portrayed by veteran actor Robert De Niro come from backgrounds full of poverty, violence, and disillusionment. It shows how, in "Raging Bull", the character of Jake LaMotta is the product of a very disturbing life, replete with jealousy and sexual insecurity, and how, in "Goodfellas", the character of Jimmy Conway represents the quintessential New York City gangster, whose life overflows with violence and betrayal as a direct result of his upbringing. It also shows how, in "Casino", the character of Sam "Ace" Rothstein is also a product of his background, being one of brutality and dishonesty. It explores how all three of these characters portrayed by De Niro are images and reflections of their individual life stories that were often wrought with decadence and hard living.
From the Paper
"In Scorsese's Raging Bull, considered by many film critics as a great cinematic masterpiece, the story focuses on prizefighter Jake La Motta, a middleweight icon from the middle years of the 20th century. De Niro's characterization of La Motta has to be one of the most compelling character studies ever brought to the big screen, for he is an individual highly influenced by his poverty-stricken upbringing, a man full of self-pity, sadness and disillusionment. As an historical/biographical film, Raging Bull contains many details taken from La Motta's autobiography, but Scorsese found it necessary to portray La Motta as an uncouth, insensitive lout in order to round out De Niro's portrayal."

Table of Contents:
Against Bull Fighting
Response Paper Indicating Type of Fallacy and Argument: For Bull Fighting
From the Paper
"People who criticize bullfighting disrespect tradition and by discrediting customs, they hope to achieve globalization and the deletion of what is specific to each nation. (guilt by association) Perhaps my arguments are in vain since most protesters are American, and Americans do not know much about traditions. (hasty generalization) Also, I find it a bit ironic that a nation that was born only a few centuries ago can criticize Spain who was an immensely wealthy and advanced state at the time when America was being discovered. Moreover, the fact that America has virtually no authentic universal customs or traditions does not give it the right to criticize others for having a cultural background which they want to preserve.

Abstract
While rage can exist as a tragic flaw, it can also restore humanity to the characters. By looking at "The Iliad" by the ancient Greek author, Homer, this paper focuses on the use of rage as a vehicle to analyze human nature in the text. The relationships between rage and power, rage and honor, rage and tragic flaw, as well as rage and humanity are explored in detail.
From the Paper
"Achilles is finally able to see the whole picture, to realize the potential consequences of his actions, and to seek actively to prevent it. Furthermore, the compassion he showers on Priam before is admirable. This is not merely an agreement to postpone the Achaean's attack until the Trojans can bury Hector in full rites that we admire, it is also the small gestures that impress us. By offering food and sleep to Priam, by gently clasping the "old man by the wrist, to free his hear from fear" (24.789-790), Achilles display a tenderness in him that is unimaginable. The contrast is dramatic if one juxtaposes this scene with that of Phoenix's "prayers for forgiveness" speech in Book Nine. Blinded by rage and pride in Book Nine, Achilles dismisses Phoenix's pleas in a callous manner, and also reprimands Phoenix for degrading himself in pushing the case for Agamemnon. The absence of rage has restored humanity in Achilles, allowing us to see him in a more favorable light as the poem ends."

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper describes how metals exist in the form of minerals in the earth's crust, a metal ore being a highly concentrated mineral form of the metal. The paper explains how extraction of metals from its ore depends upon the quality of the ore and that the ores obtained from the ground contain unwanted impurities called gangue. The paper discusses the various methods of extracting these impurities from the metal.
Table of Contents:
Concentration
a. Gravity Separation or Hydraulic Washing
b. Froth Flotation
c. Magnetic Separation
d. Chemical Separation
Roasting or Calcination
Reduction of Mineral to the Metal
a. Electrolytic Reduction
b. Chemical Reduction (Smelting)
c. Auto-reduction(Smelting)
Refining
From the Paper
In this method, a Wilfley table is used .It is a sloping table and its top is corrugated or riffled in the direction of the slope. The crushed ore is then placed on the top of this table, which is always kept vibrating. "Then water is made to flow across the table at right angles to the top. The lighter gangue particles are thrown upwards at every jerk and carried across the table by the stream of water, while the heavier ore particles move towards the bottom of the table. Thus separation takes place when the ore reaches the bottom. This method is useful for dense ores like Cassiterite (SnO2).
Hydraulic classifier."
