Douglas McGrath’s Emma (1996) stresses the importance of kindness and familial harmony, themes which are absent from Autumn de Wilde’s cool rendition, Emma . (2020). In the novel, Emma learns to be kind and caring to others as well as be considerate and helpful after…
. Knightley (Johnny Flynn) in Autumn de Wilde's 2020 film. Where McGrath remains loyal to the novel, de Wilde takes risks. Each director’s interpretation is captured in the costumes: McGrath’s freely smiling Emma (Gwyneth Paltrow) wears a white dress that seems to glow in the firelight; de Wilde’s aloof and cool heroine (Anya Taylor-Joy) wears a silver icy dress. The marriage between John Knightley (Olive Chris) and Isabella (Chloe Pirrie) in de Wilde’s adaptation contrasts with the warmth of McGrath’s

world’s longest-living orca in captivity — until she died in captivity in 2023. In 1980, Hugo rammed his head into the pool’s walls until he died of a brain aneurysm at age 15. Orcas typically live until their 90s. “Despite the significance of Hugo’s tragic story, it has not received the attention it deserves,” Stafki says.That’s why Stafki, a communication studies major with a concentration in film and media studies, decided to make Hugo the focus of her PLU capstone project.

Sam Horn ’15, leads a traditional march for a Robbie Burns themed night at the Garfield Book Company. (Photo by John Froschauer) These pipes are playing By James Olson ’14 I exchanged a firm handshake with Samuel Horn ’15 outside the North Pacific Coffee Company…
, especially when heard in the confines of the compact choir rehearsal room where I eventually listened to Sam play. Tall with light, dusty brown hair, and thin glasses resting on a strong face, Sam is dressed in an unassuming grey T-shirt, and blue jeans.
