Roland Emmerich's The Patriot

Exemplifying a theme of Anthem where individuality breaks through teaches Equality a big lesson. Brothers stick together and help each other but are not supposed to be exactly like one another. In this novel it tried to make everyone the same and as one, rather than as individuals. The quote “To be a free, a man must be free of his brothers” (chapter 1 page 1) exemplifies a theme by saying that not everyone has to be the same. Equality 7-2521 was never like his brothers.

According to today’s standards, Andrew Jackson most closely represented the Democratic party, which therefore means that he essentially led to its creation at the time of the presidential competition with the previous president John Quincy Adams. The new Two-Party system benefited the United States of America by resulting in the rise of participation rates in most states, aggressive media, and innovative organizational efforts. One of the most important Acts that he passed was the Indian Removal Act. It gave the president authority to resettle native American Indians from the eastern part of the country. In addition, Andrew Jackson was one of the few people who were placed on money bill for his numerous achievements.

Freedom is the power or right to act, speak, or think as one wants without hindrance or restraint. The search for freedom is exemplified in Song of Solomon by Toni Morrison. One of the main protagonists, Macon has the ideology suggesting freedom relies on materialistic values. He teaches this idea to his son Milkman (the other protagonist), in which he learns throughout his encounters of life, that his father’s ideology of money being freedom is not what brings a prosperous life but himself going on his own journey experiencing his own enlightenment on life, so that he may have a personal understanding of freedom. Thus, the validity of “money is freedom” is not valid, due to understanding freedom can be subjective.

Though this quote may sound contradicting to the belief that Lee was fighting for his homeland, it actually supports that where he came from was his cause for going into battle. There is a famous saying that goes, “A house is not a home”, which can be interpreted as a person’s home is where their family is and their memories are, not their address. So when Lee says he is fighting for the “children and the kin”, he is still fighting for his homeland, because to him, his home is not Virginia. His home is where the people he loves are. And I admire Shaara for pointing this out, because in my mind, no man would go into war to protect four walls and a fireplace.

Huck Finn is still relevant today in the fact that it has a very important life lesson that everyone should know. On his adventure Huck learned not to follow the rest of society and to do what he thought was right. When Huck decided not to turn Jim in he was so torn about what to do. Of course the answer is obvious for most of us that no he should not turn Jim in however, Huck was raised in a society that pressured him to thinking that he should turn him in. Even while having been raised in this type of racist environment Huck realized he didn’t care what the “sivilized” people thought and he wanted to help Jim.

Sohrab is Amir’s nephew, he is family and he must take care of him, after all he did save his life. Amir wants to adopt Sohrab and bring him back to America with him. Without proof of his parents death, Sohrab cannot be determined as an orphan. “Sohrab is deeply scarred by the loss of his parents, and it becomes difficult for the young boy to trust people. When Amir nearly fails in his effort to adopt Sohrab after rescuing him, the boy tries to kill himself rather than face losing his surrogate parent” (The Kite Runner).

Barbee is blind to Bledsoe’s ways when no one else is around. Emerson’s son signifies people who just want to do the right thing. Emerson’s son could not allow Invisible Man to continue on his unconquerable journey without revealing Bledsoe’s true motive to him. In a way, Brockway’s character mirrors Bledsoe. He is willing to do anything to keep his position and will stop anyone who is in his way.

For instance, it is human nature to want to follow emotions. Huck, and other characters in the novel, act on their hearts not their minds. Specifically, Huck wants to turn Jim in because he believes it’s the most logical solution. And by not writing away to Jim’s rightful owner about Jim, Huck believes he is holding on to the biggest sin of all (161). Since others taught him that slavery was acceptable Huck determines that the right decision is to not free him, however, his heart tells him that Jim deserves to be free.

Okonkwo is a man of many different views than those of regular parents seen in the book “Things fall apart.” He seems like a harsh man yes, but he just wants what is best for his children. He rules with a very heavy hand as well in order to have his children grow to be even stronger then him and not show laziness. He wants his children to know hard work can only be done if you’re able to show you can handle any obstacle in your path. In all honesty, laziness should be of no virtue, if one does not wish to be nagged or punished. Okonkwo has a very hard time with his firstborn Nwoye, he’s lazy and Okonkwo asks him to do chores first, but when he sees that he doesn’t, he starts to beat him.

(Macleod) The protagonist is trapped between two forces which control his life: his desire to strive for an education, and his duties to carry on the family tradition. Even though he chooses to sacrifice his education in order to stay with his father, his repression of desire becomes the ultimate trigger of his father's death. His father wants to free the protagonist from being a filial son and a responsible successor of the tradition, therefore, he decides to save his son from being repressed by trading his
