  • Summary Of God Bless You Mr Rosewater

    233 Words  | 1 Pages

    The ending Kurt Vonnegut’s book, God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater, took me very much by surprise. I had imagined it to end in someone’s death, Mushari taking them down directly, or something else more along those lines. The book ended with Eliot splitting the Rosewater fortune up to fifty-seven different children that are not even his children. He told them to have their names be Rosewater and, “to be fruitful and multiply,” (Page 275). Those children’s parents had all claimed that Eliot was the father to their children but only because Mushari had started that lie.

  • Rosebud And Then They Came For Me By Jon Stewart

    720 Words  | 3 Pages

    Directors that film movies based on true events tend to take themselves too seriously, and their movies reflect that attitude. A dark introduction is usually followed by a gloomy middle with an unsettling climax, resulting in doleful conclusion. If any movie were to follow this recipe, one might assume it would be one focused on an Iranian prison. Rosebud, which is such a movie, does not. Chronicling the Newsweek journalist Maziar Bahari’s 118 grueling days in prison and the events leading up to it, this film portrays the existence of good humor present in real-world situations - not matter how horrifying they might be.
