The ongoing problem of discrimination due to appearance has affected many, specifically black people. One of the most unusual things with no point or definition. This prejudice against black people has caused much unification within the United States. The lives of these black people have been severely affected, as it has affected their acts, appearances, and ways of life. As Brent Staples explains in his essay “Black Men and Public Space,” black people deal with many problems, from discrimination, and he explains these points in an orderly manner and each very thoroughly.

Stan Maria The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and the Proto-Indie Phenomenon In his article, The American Nightmare – Horror in the 70s, Robin Wood tries to take the American horror movie and put it in a suggestive context, both historically and socially, exemplifying trough movies that made history by their violence, gore and the shock they created to the mental matrix of the society living in that age. He believes that trying to define those ages as the Golden Age of the American horror film is a brave thing to do, using comparisons for each of their characteristics: more gruesome, more violent, more disgusting, and perhaps more confused. He also believes that the core of the movie itself – the disturbance – is a crucial thing shared exhaustively

This style (demonstrated best at 0:09:44 during the club scene, where a remix of Rob Zombie’s “Dragula” plays) permeates the entire film, contrasting with the bland, conservative outfits of the agents and the people in the simulations (0:56:33-0:57:45). It is meant to create a distinguishable division between the protagonists and the antagonists - to quote Morpheus’ statement to Neo: “If you are not one of us, you are one of them.” The good guys just so happen to be more rugged and alternative-looking than the bad guys. Adorno and Horkheimer classify style in the culture industry as “the aesthetic equivalent of domination” (1245). Because of the distinctive style of The Matrix, it has become one of the most recognizable and popular films of our time, becoming a part of mainstream culture and having fashion trends, relevant even now, capitalize on its success.

The black and white colour scheme was used to set the dark and melancholy tone as many individuals perished during this dreadful event. The author uses many transitional words to add cohesiveness to his comic. These includes: “suddenly…”, “After…”, “Later…”, “Seconds later…”, and “As they came..”. As the comic takes place during a war, it is generally considered as an action comic. There are many fighting scenes and jaw-dropping stunts, which screams the word action.

Analyzing and comparing the way that conflict is presented in Out of the Blue and Charge of the Light Brigade Conflict is a big theme and many poems and texts have been written on this topic, but two of the most well done and most expressive poems about this topics are “Out of the Blue” and “The Charge of the Light Brigade”. Even though the topic is the same the two authors, Simon Armitage and Alfred, Lord Tennyson, present the theme with different approaches, one about the innocent, one about the ones that chose to get involved In the conflict. The first poem, “Out of the blue”, is about the terrorist acts on 9/11 and the position that the ordinary people were putting in. The people that have been caught in the two towers were ordinary people going to their jobs and doing their daily routines and they were definitely not expecting what happened.

Art Spiegelman's graphic novel Maus is a story that clearly displays the appalling treatment of the Jew's during this time. To effectively show this, Speigelman uses a variety of powerful literary devices. These include the use of black, white and shading, the way people are depicted and font & text size. A good example of this is the inserted comic, Prisoner On the Hell Planet (pg.

O’Brien’s writing in chapter Sweetheart of the Song Tra Bong (85) reflects a lot on how real war is. He gives a great description of how war changes you but he adds a little bit of extra and unreal details in parts of it. When Rat Kiley is telling the story everyone knows that it is going to be a little bit of false information in between. You have to really pay attention to understand what O’Brien is getting at with the story. Reflecting the surreal nature of war helps to get a somewhat perspective of how war was and how it took its pull on people.

What I like about the book is how mysterious and very chaotic the characters were in the entire book and their change throughout the book. The meaning Clockwork Orange means is doing good or evil kind of like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Burgess wrote in that teen violence will occur at some point in time. He predicted that crime rates increase

Over the past century, Frankenstein has been analyzed and interpreted in seemingly infinite different forms of literature, film, and television shows. Once solely recognized as the story about a brilliant scientist who creates a creature in whom he regrets making after the creature turns out ugly, Frankenstein now represents an internationally recognized and commercialized pop culture symbol for Halloween decorations and costumes. When analyzing and appreciating the true literary essence behind Mary Shelley’s original Frankenstein, one of the most important comparisons to consider remains the underlying influences behind the Creature’s immoral actions and whether or not the blame for these actions belong to Victor or the Creature. When exploring the dichotomy of the Creature versus Victor Frankenstein, one of the biggest and most widely debated questions remains whether Victor should be blamed for the Creature’s destructive actions or if the Creature should be considered guilty for his actions based off of his own free will. Many consider Victor Frankenstein the villain of the story due to his repetitive decisions to abandon and avoid his own “mistake,” the irresponsible choice of creating the monster in the first place, and his obvious negligence of the Creature’s feelings.

In this novel “The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr. Hyde”, Robert Louis Stevenson has used both character and setting to illustrate the theme duality very successfully. He chose the setting in the late ninetieth centuries during the Victorian Time in London. His main message throughout the novel is everyone that we know all have it own dark side and desire to do something evil to other people. Furthermore, his wider message is the struggle of human between good and evil, religion versus science and will the duality still happen within this modern time now.

We see the children in the film getting shot by appears and killed by spears. Although the film doesn’t seem that bad, it is very violent and would be incredibly shocking to audiences in the Fahrenheit 451 period, but audiences these days are far more desensitized to violence. These films in the dystopian genre also show how the themes reflected society yet they are in different time eras. Fahrenheit 451 was from the 60’s and

The title of the picture I chose was The Good Shepard. It was a picture in chapter nine with an artist that is unknown. This picture took place in about 300AD. It was founded in one of the largest catacombs in Rome, the catacombs of Domitilla. when the sculpture was founded the legs were cut off, so those were restored by the Greeks at the time, so the sculpture stands about three feet tall.

Morrie’s ideology about happiness can be identified in many areas of life such as music. One of the most iconic figures in hip hop music, Jermaine Cole (J. Cole), Frequently shows this outlook on life in his songs. For example, a particular song where J. Cole displays this theme is “Love Yourz,” where he talks about how money and fame was all the only thought on his mind, yet when he reached that level of success J. Cole did not feel happy and realized that he was missing something more important; people. J. Cole deserted a lot of his friends and family in pursuit of his goals and achievements, only to find out that “when these things came, the happiness wasn’t there.” In the same way, Mitch also abandoned his friends and former professors
