The setting of New York in Chains was interesting, because at that time period New York was the main battle zone between the Patriots and Loyalists. ¨New York is a ball tossed between the Loyalists and the Patriots. Right now, the Patriots hold it,” said Curzon, on page 39 in the book Chains.

    1486 Words  | 6 Pages

    Starting in 1880, the evils of child labor were increasing fast. Children weren’t just working on their family’s farm; they were slaving in mills, sweatshops, and factories. Children were not only losing a chance at an education, but they were becoming ill, injured, and some were even being killed because of the dangerous working conditions they were slaving in. The dangers of children in the workforce are well-known, and many U.S. people disagree with the fact that children, most younger than eight, are able to work in such evil conditions. “That the evil exists; that certainly hundreds of thousands and more, probably over one million, children are even now either being killed or utterly destroyed for that citizenship on which this free

  • Kubo And The Two Strings Analysis

    958 Words  | 4 Pages

    “Kubo and the Two Strings” is an American stop-motion action-adventure animation by Laika. Set in feudal Japan, young Kubo earns a living for him and his mother with fantastical storytelling in the markets using his gifted magical abilities, where origami figures summoned by the music of his lute come to live to illustrate his narrations. After incidents that interrupted Kubo’s ordinary life, he goes on a quest to find his great samurai father’s amour in order to defeat the Moon King and save his family, while under the hunt of the pair of evil sisters of Kubo’s mother. I was initially interested in the film because of the extraordinary stop motion visuals presented in its trailer, and having seen Laika’s previous productions such as “Coraline”, I expected certain degrees of darker themes and emotional experiences. Although the primary audience would naturally be children, we also see that adults are also a secondary target group.
