Lifeless objects especially helped Chaplin make “contact” with himself as an artist. He turned them into other kinds of objects. Thus, a broken alarm clock in the movie The Pawnbroker became a “sick” patient undergoing surgery; boots were boiled in his film The Gold Rush and their soles
eaten with salt and pepper like prime cuts of fish (the nails being 45 removed like fish
bones).

The Hazards of Movie-going
Sample

59. Structured Writing
Sample
Although I love movies, I’ve found that there are drawbacks to movie-going. One problem is just the inconvenience of it all. It can take me long time to drive to the theater and find a parking spot. Another problem is my lack of self-control at the theater. I often stuff myself with unhealthy calorie-laden snacks for the limited choices. The worst problem is some of the other movie-goers. Kids run up and down the aisle. It’s noisy and messy in the theater. All in all, I would rather
stay home and watch TV comfortably.
