Nichols uses a plethora of filming technique...

    The Deep End of the Ocean was a universal story of traumatic loss and its effects on individuals and families. Penguin Group published The Deep End of the Ocean by Jacquelyn Mitchard in New York, N.Y. in 1996. The book was compelling, heartbreaking, touching, and wonderfully written. Once one picked this book up, putting it down would be impossible, it will keep one up until all hours of the night. It was fiction and in some senses, realistic fiction.

    "Brink reaches for that unexpected potent strand of Afrikaner thought: an almost religious repugnance toward governmental corruption. And by using a 'very ordinary' Afrikaner as victim, Brink proclaims that no one is South Africa is any longer safe (Redman 5)". Andre Brink's powerful novel, A Dry White Season, was made into a film directed by Euzhan Palcy about ten years after it was written.

    One of the greatest attributes attached to the melodramatic genre is that it holds a wide variety of styles, settings, and characters. The criteria, like every other film or television show revolves around the dramatic conflict and how the characters deal with it. The evolution of this genre is constantly being revised by those who insist on testing its limit - whether it be shifting the setting to the workplace as seen on West Wing or E.R., or having unique interaction between family members by...

    Response Journal # 1 - Chapter 1 -How does the author capture your interest at the beginning of the book? - There are a number of things mentioned in the beginning of "Incident at Hawk's Hill" that sparked my interest and that I could relate to.

There was no reason in him doing so; it was just out of pure pleasure. This introduction of Ben's character excited me...

    A Dry White Season When I first picked up this book, I didn't know what to expect. Having never read Andre Brink, nor any novel about South Africa, I wondered what the tone would be, whether it would be profound or just preachy. I was also ignorant as to the full extent of the atrocities occurring in the country at the time the book was written. By book's end, however, I found that not only is Brink a brilliant writer, but that the issue of Apartheid is about far more than just a racist system o...
