"Prison Break" Review

Even though the 2005-2006 TV season doesn’t officially start until September 19 (the day after the Emmy Awards), one network has decided to start their season early. That said network would be FOX, and their first show is the prison drama “Prison

Break.” Despite having a slightly unbelievable concept, it is a great way to start the season off on a good foot.

Michael Scofield (Wentworth Miller) is a desperate man. His brother, Lincoln Burrows (Dominic Purcell), a death row inmate confined to Fox River State Penitentiary in Joliet, Illinois, is scheduled to die in a little over a month for the murder of the Vice President’s brother, Terrence Steadman (David Lively.) Michael has an elaborate plan to break Lincoln out of jail, and in the opening scene of the pilot, he is seen having the last of a series of tattoos applied to his body. Those tattoos are the blueprints for Fox River. In 1999, he was involved in a retrofitting job of the prison, and he still has all of the plans of the building with him. After doing all the extensive

research, and adding those notes to his tattoos, he gets rid of all of the evidence.

The next day, he goes into the downtown Chicago branch of United Savings Bank and attempts to steal over a half million dollars. When he is arrested, he is put on trial for armed robbery. He pleads no contest to the judge (Cheryl Lynn Bruce), despite the objections of his lawyer and childhood friend Veronica Donovan (Robin Tunney.) The judge sentences him to five years, with parole in two and a half. Michael has requested to be sent to Fox River, which the judge grants. Veronica still doesn’t understand why Michael is doing this, because he isn’t violent and he doesn’t need the money. Also, he was the only positive influence for LJ (Marshall Allman), Lincoln’s son. LJ lives with his mother, Lisa Rix (Jessalyn Gilsig), and her husband Adrian (Philip Rayburn Smith.) He has been getting into trouble lately, having been busted for possession of marijuana, and Lisa doesn’t know what to do about it.

When Michael gets to Fox River, Captain Brad Bellick (Wade Williams) greets him, and tells him that he has nothing coming to him. Michael meets his new cellmate, Fernando Sucre (Amaury Nolasco.) Sucre is engaged to his girlfriend, Maricruz Delgado (Camille Guaty), though a friend of hers named Hector (Kurt Caceres) has been

making a play for her. He just wants to do his time and get out so that he can get married.

Meanwhile, Veronica is still troubled by the case. She is engaged to an investment

banker named Sebastian Balfour (Anthony Starke), though it appears that she still thinks about Lincoln, who used to be her boyfriend.

Back at Fox River, Sucre tells Michael about Charles Westmoreland (Muse Watson),

whom everyone whispers is actually the infamous D.B. Cooper, who parachuted out of a plane thirty years ago with a million and a half in cash (he actually only got

away with $200,000.) Charles has a cat named Marilyn who was grandfathered in before Fox River prohibited pet ownership.

Michael tells Sucre that Lincoln, or as the other inmates call him, “Linc the Sink” (because he’ll come at you with everything but the kitchen sink), is his brother. He wants to know how to get to Lincoln. Sucre tells him that the only way to do that is through “P.I.,” or Prison Industries (meaning the inmates who behave get to do work for the prison.) Former mob boss John Abruzzi (Peter Stormare) runs P.I., and

he is the only one who can get Michael approved for it. Michael later asks Abruzzi if he can be hired for P.I., giving him a paper origami swan and telling him that he has something to offer the mob boss. Abruzzi scoffs at this new “fish” and throws away the swan. Michael does have something to offer Abruzzi though. Fibonacci is a mob informant whose testimony put Abruzzi behind bars, and he, along with mobsters Gavin Smallhouse (Gianni Russo), Philly Falzone (Al Sapienza), and Maggio (Rich Komenich), are very interested in finding the man, who is currently in witness protection. His testimony could land all of them in jail, and Falzone specifically threatens Abruzzi with harm to his kids if he doesn’t find Fibonacci.

Michael visits Dr. Sara Tancredi (Sarah Wayne Callies), the prison doctor. Sara is the daughter of Illinois Governor “Frontier Justice” Frank Tancredi, a fact that she doesn’t like to tell many people about, because she differs with her father in their political beliefs. Michael has to go the infirmary for his regular insulin shots, because he has Type I Diabetes.

In Washington D.C., Special Agent Paul Kellerman (Paul Adelstein) and Special Agent Danny Hale (Danny McCarthy) are trying to thwart the efforts of anyone who might free Lincoln. A man named Bishop McMorrow (Chelcie Ross) has a lot of influence with the Governor and may persuade him to grant a stay of execution. They decide to visit him and “persuade” him to back off by accusing him of tax fraud. McMorrow won’t be bullied, but later in the episode, he is shot and killed in his bed.

English response:

"The Old Man and the Sea" by Ernest Hemingway is a

novella that tells the story of an aging Cuban fisherman

named Santiago who struggles to catch a giant marlin. The

story is a parable about the human spirit and the

indomitable will to overcome adversity.

Hemingway's writing in "The Old Man and the Sea" is

simple and direct, but it is also lyrical and evocative. He

uses short, declarative sentences to create a sense of

immediacy and urgency. The descriptions of the sea and the

marlin are vivid and powerful, and they convey the sense of

awe and wonder that Santiago feels in the face of nature's

grandeur.

The characters in "The Old Man and the Sea" are complex

and well-developed. Santiago is a flawed but sympathetic

character. He is proud and determined, but he is also humble and aware of his own limitations. The marlin is a

Major Themes

Painful Experience vs. Numbness

Perhaps the greatest theme of the novel involves the relationship between the

pain of actual experience and feeling one's feelings, on the one hand, and on

the other hand the equally devastating numbness that comes with shutting

down one's emotions in order to avoid suffering. After the death of Allie,

Holden essentially shuts down, forcing himself to lose all attachments to

people so as never to be hurt again. He repeatedly mentions how important it

is not to get attached to anyone, since this will lead to missing them once they

are gone. By the end of the novel, he has spiraled so far down with this theory

that he has become afraid to even speak to anyone. Phoebe is perhaps the

only reminder that Holden still has the capacity to love. When he looks at her,
