In regards to Citizen Kane, with the critical analysis question being "Discuss the idea(s) developed by the director(s) regarding the significance of an individual’s perspective"
and my answer being
“In Xanadu did Kubla Khan a stately pleasure dome decree—” In the 1900’s, present day for Mr. Kane, he lives in almost as legendary, Florida’s Xanadu, “world’s largest private pleasure ground.” On the deserts of the Gulf Coast consists, “one hundred thousand trees, twenty thousand tons of marble – a collection of everything so big it can never be catalogued or appraised, enough for ten museums – the loot of the world; -- the fowl of the air, the fish of the sea, the beast of the field and jungle.” In Citizen Kane, Orson Welles develops the idea that a person’s perspective about what is most important in life may be affected by their hierarchy power achieved through wealth and history. Charles Foster Kane’s character demonstrates compensation in the present for pains of the past in such a way he sets himself up for his own demise. Mr. Kane was, “a man who got everything,” and at the same time had nothing. His state of mind as a result may have lead one to be consumed by themselves and ultimately, be left with nothing. “Twice married, twice divorced,” Hearst had anything and everything a person could come up with, and quite literally lived the American dream.
What are three good sturdy separate ideas I can use to write about in my 3 paragraphs?
