Yikes!! I need help with this homework assignment that I have for English?

Question

Can anyone please help me? In class we were talking about the sublime . This is the assignment :

COME UP WITH A MOVIE IN WHICH A WOMEN DIES AND FREES THE MAN SO THAT HE COULD DO SOMETHING STRONG

We were also discussing why the death of a women in literature is considered selfish by the author. Why do authors do that? Why is it so beautiful? A sexist act on the author?

CAN ANYONE THINK OF ANY DISNEY MOVIES OR ANYTHING

Answer 1

How about the greatest of all, "Love Story"?

Told as a flashback, this is an uncomplicated love story between two star-crossed lovers-students, Harvard pre-law hockey player Oliver Barrett IV (Ryan O'Neal) and Radcliffe music student Jenny Cavilleri (Ali MacGraw). Oliver narrates the opening line of the film, looking back:

What can you say about a twenty-five-year-old girl who died? That she was beautiful and brilliant? That she loved Mozart and Bach, the Beatles, and me?

Their love triumphs over different economic-class backgrounds (he is a "preppie millionaire," she a smart-mouthed "social zero" from a blue-collar Italian/American family). Their main obstacle to romance is that his rich, powerful and snobbish father, Oliver Barrett III (Ray Milland) objects and threatens to cut off funding: "Oliver, if you marry her now, I'll not give you the time of day." To which the younger, bull-headed Oliver defiantly asks: "What offends you more, Father, that she's Catholic, or poor?" He ultimately responds: "Father, you don't know the time of day." The two young lovers marry anyway and first move into a small apartment in Cambridge before Oliver is hired by a New York law firm and they move to the city.

The film's two most touching and remembered scenes are their prolonged kissing scene and the montage of the couple tossing snowballs at each other. After meeting many obstacles and making sacrifices, she is diagnosed as terminally ill when she is tested for pregnancy, and dies in his arms at the hospital in a tear-inducing closing. She makes a last request of him: "You, after all - you're going to be a merry widower." "I won't be merry," he responds. She replies: "Yes, you will be. I want you to be merry. You'll be merry, okay?"

In the final scene, Oliver quotes his late wife, when speaking to his father about their past misunderstandings. After his father tells him he's sorry that she has died, Oliver responds in the last memorable line of the film, quoting an earlier remark of Jenny's:

Love means never having to say you're sorry.

He then walks out into a snowy Central Park to contemplate what life might have been in a touching finale, as the award-winning musical score builds in the background.

Homework is meant to augment lecture cloth as grew to become into stated above. further and extra analyze, whether, are exhibiting that a burdensome quantity of homework is ineffective or maybe risky to scholars. something assigned that takes the student previous approximately 30 minutes consistent with day is seemingly pointless in terms of reinforcement. young ones don't have the time to do all their paintings presently so each and all the extra homework that instructors are handing out so as to coach their scholars for college is purely making young ones lose sleep.
