Pulp Fiction Analysis
Pulp Fiction ââ¬â 1994 Color ââ¬â 154 mins. Producer: Lawrence Bender Director: Quentin Tarantino Screenplay: Quentin Tarantino and Roger Avary Director of Photography: Andrzej Sekula Editor: Sally Menke Music: Rolf Johnson Introduction Released in October of 1994, this crime/thriller/gangster film, directed by Quentin Tarantino, is still one of the most widely controversial classic American movies of all time. Pulp Fiction blew the Box Office away when it received a whopping nine million dollars on opening night alone. The film is known for its extremely ironic blend of humor and brutal violence, as well as its multiple story lines that eventually weave themselves together. Quentin Tarantino strays from the ordinary script by giving the characters long, intense, and surprisingly profound monologues and dialogues throughout this film. The filmââ¬â¢s title, Pulp Fiction, comes from magazines and novels about gangs and crime that were popular during the time of the films release. Tarantino presents his trademark style of the out of order plot in this film, just as in many of his others. The inspiration of this film has been profoundly felt throughout many aspects of the film industry, even having an affect on the independent film world, though it is not an independent movie. Pulp Fiction stars many famous Hollywood actors such as John Travolta, Samuel L. Jackson, Tim Roth, Amanda Plummer, and Bruce Willis. In 1995 Quentin Tarantino and Roger Avary won the Oscar for Best Writing for this film, and it was nominated for six other Oscars in the same year. Tarantino was also awarded the Palme dââ¬â¢Or at the Cannes Film Festival for his directing this movie in 1994. Pulp Fiction was truly an influential movie for its time and, without a doubt, a classic American film. Plot Summary As the credits end a title card is shown which gives two dictionary definitions of the word ââ¬Å"pulp. â⬠The camera then fades to show a couple sitting in a diner having a discussion about robbing banks and liquor stores. The woman, called ââ¬Å"Honey Bunny,â⬠and the man, ââ¬Å"Pumpkin,â⬠decide they would likely make more from customers wallets than they would from the till itself. They proceed to stand up in their booth and announce that they are robbing the diner. Immediately after he announces this the scene cuts and the opening credits begin. We then see two men, who we later learn are Jules Winnfield and Vincent Vega, driving a car and discussing a recent trip to Europe. The two are wearing dress suits and are on their way to get a briefcase for their boss, Marsellus Wallace, from a man that did business with Wallace without paying him for it. Winnfield and Vega discuss foot massages, their bosses wife, and ââ¬Å"Royale with Cheesesâ⬠before ultimately entering the mans room, retrieving the briefcase, and killing the man and another man in the room. The scene cuts and we are in what appears to be an empty restaurant with Butch Coolidge, a fighter, and Marsellus Wallace. Coolidge agrees to lose his upcoming fight in exchange for a great deal of money from Wallace. The next day, Vega drives to a friends house to shoot up heroin before heading to Marsellus Wallace's house to take his wife, Mia Wallace, out for the night, just as Wallace asked him to while he is away. They arrive at Jack Rabbit Slimââ¬â¢s, a fifties diner, and participate in a twist competition, and return to the Wallace house. While Vega is in the bathroom, Mia finds a bag of heroin in his jacket pocket and, thinking it is cocaine, shorts it and overdoses. Scared and worried, Vega rushes Mia to his heroin dealers house to try and save her. They proceed to give her a shot of adrenaline in her chest which awakens her, and Mia and Vincent decide not to tell Wallace about what happened. The story then goes back to Coolidge, the fighter, preparing for his fight. Having received the money from Wallace to throw the fight prior to the fight, he wins the fight, flees the arena, and hops in a cab. He learns from the driver that he killed his opponent and hides out in a motel with his girlfriend before realizing that she forgot to pack his watch. When he returns to his apartment he notices a gun on the counter and, upon seeing Vega exit his bathroom, he shoots and kills him. When leaving the apartment Coolidge hits Wallace with his car. After a foot chase, kidnapping by a shop owner, and Coolidge saving Wallaceââ¬â¢s life, Wallace agrees to forget about the fight so long as he does not tell anyone bout what happened with the shop owner. The story then returns to Vega and Winnfield at the apartment when a man they were not aware was there jumps out of the bathroom and shoots at them. He misses every shot and is killed when Vega and Winnfield return fire, and Winnfield is convinced it is a sign from God that they were not hit with a single bullet. They then take the only man left alive in the apartment, Marvin, to be their informant. While in the car talking about the ââ¬Å"m iracle from God,â⬠Vega accidentally shoot Marvin in the face. In an act to get their blood covered car out of public the two men call upon a friend, played by Quentin Tarantino, for help cleaning up. With the help of a ââ¬Å"The Wolfâ⬠the men and their friend are able to clean up the car, themselves, and dispose of the body and go to breakfast. As they eat breakfast in a coffee shop, they discuss Winnfieldââ¬â¢s plan of retiring due to the ââ¬Å"sign from God. â⬠The story then cuts to Honey Bunny and Pumpkin and their discussion from the first scene of the movie, just before they hold up the same restaurant where Vega and Winnfield are eating. With Vega in the bathroom, Honey Bunny and Pumpkin announce they are robbing the place and request Winnfieldââ¬â¢s mysterious briefcase. Winnfield draws his gun on Pumpkin which causes Honey Bunny to point her gun at Winnfield as well until Vega emerges from the bathroom with his gun pointed at Honey Bunny. Winnfield tells the couple he will let them go with the money they collected from the customers wallets so long as he lets him keep the briefcase. They agree and leave the restaurant with their loot. Winnfield decides he is going to be retiring after they give Wallace the briefcase. The scene then fades to black and the movie is over. Comments/Response To me, this film is a one of a kind piece of art that Quentin Tarantino beautifully wrote and directed. Some aspects of the movie ââ¬â the fact that the audience must decode the order of the scenes ââ¬â were not my favorite, but overall this film is one of the greatest, in my eyes. Tarantinoââ¬â¢s use of dialogue in this film is astonishingly clever as most people would not think of ââ¬Å"gangstersâ⬠as the type to enjoy a good intellectual conversation. Similarly, I found it interesting that Samuel L. Jacksonââ¬â¢s character, Jules Winnfield, seemed to be a religious man in that twice during the movie he recites Ezekiel 25:17 from the bible, as well as believing that the fact that they had been shot at several times and had not been hit was a sign from God. Tarantino does an outstanding job with having the first and the last scenes partially overlap as well as having them unfold at the same time, even though they are not presented together in the movie. He ultimately allows the audience to see the same scene twice but from an entirely new perspective without even realizing it at first. All in all, Quentin Tarantinoââ¬â¢s Pulp Fiction is not only a classic American film that has forever changed several media, but it also successfully skews the audiences morals into unknowingly viewing the ââ¬Å"bad guysâ⬠as the heros, which is no easy task in film. This is a must see film for all who love a great film as well as a good deal of blood.

Cultural Resource Management - Protecting Our Heritage
Cultural Resource Management is, essentially, a process by which the protection and management of the multitudinous but scarce elements of cultural heritage are given some consideration in a modern world with an expanding population and changing needs. Often equated with archaeology, CRM in fact should and does include a range of types of properties: ââ¬Å"cultural landscapes, archaeological sites, historical records, social institutions, expressive cultures, old buildings, religious beliefs and practices, industrial heritage, folklife, artifacts [and] spiritual placesâ⬠(T. King 2002 :p 1). Cultural Resource Management: Key Takeaways Cultural Resource Management (CRM) is a process that people use to manage and make decisions about scarce cultural resources in an equitable manner.à CRM (also known as Heritage Management) includes cultural landscapes, archaeological sites, historical records, and spiritual places, among other things.à The process must balance a variety of needs: safety, environmental protection, and transportation and construction needs of an expanding community, with the honor and protection of that past.à People who make those decisions are state agencies, politicians, construction engineers, members of the indigenous and local community, oral historians, archaeologists, city leaders, and other interested parties.à Cultural Resources in the Real World These resources do not exist in a vacuum, of course. Instead, they are situated in an environment where people live, work, have children, build new buildings and new roads, require sanitary landfills and parks, and need safe and protected environments. On frequent occasions, the expansion or modification of cities and towns and rural areas impact or threaten to impact the cultural resources: for example, new roads need to be built or the old ones widened into areas that have not been surveyed for cultural resources which may include archaeological sites and historic buildings. In these circumstances, decisions must be made to strike a balance between the various interests: that balance should attempt to allow practical growth for the living inhabitants while taking the protection of the cultural resources into consideration.à So, who is it that manages these properties, who makes those decisions? There are all kinds of people who take part in what is a political process balancing the trade-offs between growth and preservation: state agencies such as Departments of Transportation or State Historic Preservation Officers, politicians, construction engineers, members of the indigenous community, archaeological or historical consultants, oral historians, historical society members, city leaders: in fact the list of interested parties varies with the project and cultural resources involved. The Political Process of CRM Much of what practitioners call Cultural Resource Management in the United States really deals with only those resources that are (a) physical places and things like archaeological sites and buildings, and that are (b) known or thought to be eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places. When a project or activity that a federal agency is involved in may affect such a property, a specific set of legal requirements, set forth in regulations under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act, comes into play. The Section 106 regulations lay out a system of steps by which historic places are identified, effects on them are predicted, and ways are worked out to somehow resolve effects that are adverse. All this is done through consultation with the federal agency, the State Historic Preservation Officer, and other interested parties. Section 106 does not protect cultural resources that are not historic properties--for example, relatively recent places of cultural importance, and non-physical cultural features like music, dance, and religious practices. Nor does it affect projects in which the federal government is not involvedââ¬âthat is, private, state, and local projects requiring no federal funds or permits. Nevertheless, it is the process of Section 106 review that most archaeologists mean when they say CRM. CRM: The Process Although the CRM process described above reflects the way heritage management works in the United States, discussion of such issues in most countries in the modern world includes a number of interested parties and almost always results in a compromise between competing interests of historic preservation, but also safety, commercial interests, and continuing fluctuation of political strength about what is appropriate to be preserved and what is not.

Animals in Captivity - 659 Words
Animals in Captivity Are zoos cruel to animals? Within the United States of America there are known of at least ââ¬Å"three hundred and fifty zoosâ⬠that are still active (Zoo Stats.). Zoos contain animals such as elephants, lions, tigers, giraffes, penguins, and gorillas which are placed in cages for human observation and studies. This type of close up observation and interactions can help benefit humans however, can cause harm to the animals mentally and physically due to human input in changing animal routines (PETA). For example, animals living in zoos do not have to compete for food, territory, mates, or dominance which basically constructs them to lose their wildlife survival instincts and abilities. We should consider having more national parks than zoos because this action of taking wild animals from their wild habitats and placing them behind in cages is cruel. The loss of survival instincts and abilities in wild animals are sometimes cause by human interactions such a s placing them in zoos. When animals are in zoos they are fed daily without any struggle or awareness like animals in the wild. For example, lions in captivity do not have to compete as aggressively as they would in the wild because, humans are providing such significant participation when giving out food and water out effortlessly. This takes away the survival skills such as ââ¬Å"effectively hunting and dominanceâ⬠in the wild because whether big or small the lion will get something to eat (PETA).

Business law Competition of Busineessn Procuct
Question: Describe about the Business law for /Competition of Busineessn Procuct. Answer: 1. As per the given study, Bill and Jill intended to purchase a cafe on 1st July 2016 from the Dodgy Pty. Ltd. Therefore, the offer was made from behalf of Bill and Jill to the Dodgy Pty. Ltd. There exists an offer in the contract made between the two parties. The ownership of the cafe was obtained as the offer was made keeping certain considerations and terms in the offer. There exists acceptance of the offer in the present case. Thus, opinion can be made that the contract between Bill and Jill along with Dodgy Pty. ltd is a valid contract as there was consideration made followed with acceptance of the offer. Nevertheless, the case focuses on another added factor that is worth the discussion. As per the law, a contract can be considered void or illegal, if there is deceptive or misconduct present, certain specific matters are misinterpreted and the conduct is unconscionable in nature. In the given case, the Dodgy Pty. Ltd had cheated the other party by dishonestly stating that the weekly takings of the cafe is $ 10,000. The estimated cost of the business was stated to be $3000 per week. However, while continuing the business, Bill and Jill came to know that the weekly taking was about $2000 on an average that as lower that their cost. Therefore, it can be inferred that there has been a misinterpretation of the terms and conditions of the contract made between Bill and Jill and the Dodgy Pty. Ltd. There is a need for the plaintiff to enter as misinterpretation of contracts signifies false statement. Three elements are useful in establishing the misinterpretation of contract. The three type s of misinterpretation are negligent, fraudulent and innocent misinterpretation. Fraudulent misinterpretation can be termed as that statement that is undertaken with the intention to mislead the plaintiff fraudulent interpretation and simultaneously remain ignorant about the truth. The given case indicates that a fraudulent interpretation has been carried out as Dodgy Pty. ltd provided Bill and Jill with a false statement that was done intentionally. The false statement regarding the weekly takings and the cost of the business is a fraudulent misinterpretation carried out by Dodgy Pty. Ltd. The Australia Consumer Law, Chapter 2 and section 18 (1) states that ambiguous or unreliable contract with a party in a contract is strictly prohibited. On addition, the misinterpretation or false statement about goods and services are even prohibited by the Australian Consumer Law Section 29. The section of the act allows the sufferer to claim penalty from the defendants (Austlii.edu.au. 2015). Bill and Jill is therefore eligible for claiming for the damaged they suffered from Dodgy Pty. Ltd. or the contract will be considered as an inexistent. A person can be changed guilty if as per the Misrepresentation Act 1972 Part 2, the person wrongly interprets the contract. In this case, the corporate body is responsible for the offense to which Jill and Bill are entitled. The corporations are restricted from conducting any sort of misleading act or deceiving act by the Trade Practices Act 1794 Section 52 (Martinluitingh.com. 2014). Thus, Bill and Jill are allowed to claim the loss and damages they suffered from the contract. On the other hand, Dodgy Pty. Ltd is responsible for paying for the damages to Bill and Jill based on the Fair trade Act 1987 Section 56. This law also with the misleading conduct that restricts performing misleading act while conducting trade or business with other parties. 2. As per the given case, the pizza business is running successfully that is owned by Hugh. Since, Hugh intended to trim down the operating cost of the business devoid of carrying out listing of the papers, they used to advertise the business, and a serious issue came up. The company faced issues as they offered stale and outdated ingredients in the food products they sold although the company advertised and claimed to use only fresh ingredients. A number of customers were reported to fall sick while one of them died out of serious food poisoning. Based on the above issues, there are several number of laws related to these issues. The government and the customers are allowed to take significant legal action on the company that is found guilty on this context. As the business owner had no registration of the documents, yet the advertising process is carried out makes the business owner guilty under the law of Business Names Registration Act 2011 Part 2 and Section 18 (Divanbeigi and R amalho 2015). As per this act, it can be stated that it is a serious offense to carry out business in an unregistered manner. section 18 (1) of the act specially stresses that if a trade runs on a name that is unregistered in the register of Business names, then it is a crime and the owner can be punished for the act. The penalty unit is $ 110, which is one of the 30 penalty units considered in the act (Legislation.nsw.gov.au. 2016). As the owner of the business, advertises UberPizzaDelivery service without registering its documents with the law, makes the person offensive under the Business Names Registration Act 2011 Part 2 and Section 18 (Legislation.gov.au. 2014). The Food Safety and Standards can also be considered appropriate for the given case and the Food Act of 2003 and Food Regulation act 2015 are associated with the issue. Under the Food Act of 2013, the business owner is guilty as he uses stale and unfit ingredients that cause the consumers to fall ill. Selling of unsafe food is a serious offense under the part 2 and section 14 of the act. The section restricts the sellers from selling food products in the market that are unfit for the consumption. As Hugh was selling stale and un-fresh food to the customers, he is liable as per the act. Hugh might have to suffer from two years of imprisonment or a penalization of 1000 penalty units ir even both if the customers suffering from poor health owing to the food value, takes action with the help of the act. According to section 14 (2), as the owner was quite aware of the use of unsafe ingredients into the food production, makes him answerable (Austlii.edu.au. 2016). The section states that s elling food even after knowing that the food is unsafe is a crime. In case of a corporate, a penalty of 3750 punishment units can be charged if found guilty and seven fifty fine units when an individual is found guilty. Moreover, under the section 15 of Food act in 2003, Hugh is responsible as it offers stale and outdated ingredients even though it advertises using fresh ingredients. The act deals with the delivery of counterfeit food report through promotion. Section 15 (1) and (2) of the food act 2003, that if an entity have partial or complete knowledge about the fact that the customers are relied on the description of food given by the owner and might face health issues from the consumption of such food and yet provides fake description can be severely punished. An imprisonment of up to two years or 1000 punishment units or equally can be charged on the business owner, if found guilty. Under the Food Regulations Act 2015 Part 2 Clause 8, the customers are able to take legal action Hugh as the person has been carrying out business that is not registered. Under the Australian Consumer Law (194), the distressed party can take actions. As per the law, if an offers goods that are against the safety standards it is an offence and legal actions can be taken against the supplier. The individual found guilty is liable to pay $220000 while the corporate needs to pay an amount of $1100000 (Austlii.edu.au. 2015). Hugh is liable to pay the customers for their loss and damages, as he is found guilty under the personal liability as well as the vicarious liability for ignoring the duty of being carefull. The consumers have the power to take the person to court that might end up closing down of the business completely (Kitagawa 2015). In the given case, the fraudulent misinterpretation have taken place as a false description about the products are delivered to the customers to make the customers interested in buying the products. Therefore, under the Australian Consumer Law Section 29, the owner of the pizza business needs to face a pecuniary penalty paid to the customers. An example of the huge false representation made by the business is ACCC v Giraffe World Australia Pty Ltd (1999). References Austlii.edu.au. (2015).
