Mystery Train’s mise en scene focuses on the differences in the characters journeys. By adding in recurring themes and objects Jarmusch separates the characters even though they are all in the same place. Throughout the film Elvis is a strong theme in each characters story. For Mitsuko and Jun Elvis is a constant source of debate with Mitsuko idealizing him and even believing there to be an abstract connection between the rock star, Madonna and the Statue of Liberty while Jun argues that Carl Perkins is the true king of rock ‘n roll. In the room where Luisa stays, by chance, with Johnny’s ex-girlfriend, Dee Dee, there is also a picture of Elvis – there is one in every room – which causes Dee Dee to reveal her story of dating someone nicknamed Elvis (Johnny).
The Amtrak During the month of March, our composition teacher assigned us a poem to analyze in order to produce a research paper. The setting of this poem takes place on a train traveling in the United States where an Indian man and white women have opposing views of American History. In the poem, “ On the Amtrak from Boston to New York City” the speaker can be characterized by his thoughts, emotions, and actions. At first the Indian man is consumed by his thoughts only but soon realizes that he knows more about American history than the lady next to him on the Amtrak.
Railroads are very dangerous, hundreds of people die because they were distracted, being foolish, or accidents. The main steps for acting appropriate around trains, train station, and crossing are different in each situation. While in the car pulling up to the railroad crossing when the arms start to come down and the lights start to flash stop behind the white line and wait for the train to pass, gate arms and the lights turn off before you cross the tracks DO NOT go around the gates at anytime. While approaching the train station before crossing the tracks make sure you take out your headphones and your hood if it is on. Look both ways because their are two sets of tracks so trains are coming in both directions.

Nine Horses Reader’s Response Nine horses, a collection of symbolic poems, by Billy Collins shows off a simple writing style that delivers impactful messages about today’s world. “Aimless Love”, one of the poems, made me see the tiny things in life that I should stop and appreciate. One of the most important lines “I fell for a seamstress still at her machine in the tailor’s window, and later for a bowl of broth,” The author compares the love for a human to love for an object, and this shows how little value was given to human relationships by the author. This is Ironic, seeing as the amount of thought and value given to a human relationship by most people, and how the author compared it to an object. This made me wonder if we, as humans,

The golden age of the railroad has long since passed, but what you may not realize is that trains are responsible for transporting a whopping 12 million containers filled with all kinds of products each year. Think about that the next time your kids are counting cars on a train! Most railway tracks course through unpopulated areas of the country, through deserts, across prairies, and over mountain ridges. However, enough trains pass through towns and cities of all sizes to make train safety an issue. Consider these numbers: About every 3 hours a person is hit by a train.

The Lincoln Memorial, the Statue of Liberty, the Washington Monument: These are just mere few examples of very well-known monuments and memorials across America. People have seen monuments, people have heard of monuments, people have even travelled extensive ways to just get one or two pictures of monuments. Monuments are immensely symbolic creations that are greatly cherished here in America. Conversely, people never consider the process in which groups/agencies go through in order to create one. There are very critical factors that go into creating a monument, and each of those factors represents something far deeper than one may originally think.
You can never prove that seeing is believing as our eyes deceive us all the time in many ways. But can you really believe in what you see without having a logical explanation? Do you believe in what you never seen before? Sometimes we see something that actually isn’t real. We believe in things we never seen before and sometimes our eyes are fooled to see or think what we see is really there.
