He is a person permeated by an idea that the country they are living in is sick and that it is his duty to save the country and fulfill the idea.

    In 1965, African Americans were given the right to vote. The decade that followed brought with it an increasing recognition of black rights, but the prejudice of the white community was still profuse. ‘Remember the Titans’ is set in this socio cultural climate. Directed by Boaz Yakin, this film follows the adversities faced by an newly integrated high school football team and their African-American coach. Throughout the film, characters are presented with a number of defining ethical and moral dilemmas. This discernibly includes racial prejudice, peer pressure, ego and ambition. These discourses will be explored extensively with reference to relevant literary features and therefore demonstrate their exceptional ability to shape viewer interpretations. With the production of this film, Yakin effectively manipulates the audience's’ perceptions of relevant issues and dilemmas, to furthermore convey the oppression of the black community during the 1970’s.…

    Becoming a parent is something most people see in their future, however it often comes at the wrong time for some people. In Ernest Hemingway’s, “Hills Like White Elephants”, we see a couple’s conversation as it leads up to the decision they are making on whether or not to have an abortion. With the white elephants representing a metaphor for the unborn child, we are able to see the struggle of a couple trying to make a decision on whether to keep the child or not, through which it is apparent that the two of them as a couple don’t communicate properly and the girl does not normally know how to make her own decisions.…

    Paper #2: Jane English and the Analogy of the Hypnotized Attackers Mario P. Martinez November 6,1997 For our next paper I plan on discussing abortion as a social issue. I want to do this in the form of a critical paper This seems to be a very sticky subject and is one of the topics we had in our class that was very interesting to me with a lot of room for interpretation as to when it is or is not o.k. to abort the fetus if it should ever be done at all. The argument I plan to discuss is Jane English's analogy of the hypnotized attackers which was not one of our readings, but one I came across in some research I did for this upcoming paper.…

    Anyone could face their situation. Carver made it to where you could put your own name in the story. He is very descriptive of where the couple is pulling on the baby. The couple believe that they are not hurting the baby, yet are. Everything they are doing is affecting their baby. It seems as if they do not even care for the child. They only care to prove who can have the baby. They continue to only think of themselves and not about their child. This situation is very common in today's society as well and not just a made up story. This conflict is universal to all people. Kids are forced to be put in the middle of their parents issues. They are strained to chose between one another. The story was originally called ‘Mine”. Which makes perfect sense because the characters don't see the baby as a person, but as an object.…
