Dustin Hoffman
Number of words: 495 - Number of pages: 2.... I didn't like his character.
At first I thought that the producer of that film had casted the wrong
actor but after watching more of the film I changed my mind. His character
in this movie was probably difficult to act because of the events that took
place in the film. His character's personality and surroundings changed so
much. One minute Hoffman's character is a white Indian and the next he's a
gunfighter.
I thought that the role that Hoffman played in “Kramer Vs. Kramer”
was fairly simple, however it showed how he could play diverse roles in
differ .....

Sandro Botticelli
Number of words: 621 - Number of pages: 3.... developed such works as the Portrait of a Young Man in a Red Cap.
The painting, which is quite simple in nature, depicts nothing more than the bust of a teenage boy with a red hat on.

As the viewer may notice, the young man does not pose any facial gesture which may depict emotion. It is therefore almost impossible to know the feelings of Botticelli’s subject. Many feel that Bo .....

work in a dark world. This poem was not the .....
