Watching the movie Indiana Jones The Raiders of the Lost Ark was great to feel like you're there. And you can tell there a relationship between Jones and Marion because they seem to have already met and have a past relationship and to pick up back where they left off and helping with that happening in the movie helped me find the theme of the movie i’m not gonna lie was very difficult but I found a couple of possible themes one theme I picked was action. Action because there was a lot of action in the movie with all the fighting, guns, fire, and jumping i thought that if they took out of that then the movie would be like ten to five minutes long. Another theme i thought was a possibility was mystery. Mystery because they go on hunts for treasure…
1.I believe what makes this film so great is the plot of the film combined with the actors ability to give life to the story. Gary Cooper who plays Kane in the film, is an upstanding and ethically good man. Since he demonstrates these characteristics in the film, he makes a believable Marshall. Another reason why this film is so great, is because of the hero premise. I believe this causes the "unsung hero" to resonate with the audience's feelings. This is shown at the very end of the film after the Marshall had confronted the criminals. Even though Kane had stopped Miller, no one in the town cheers or celebrates. They kinda of just accept it as it is and just move on without giving their thanks to the Marshall.…
Miss Evers was truly acting in the best interest of her patients. She truly cared about them and when times became tough, she stood by their side through the entire study. In the movie, she believed that she honored her oath and gave them all she had. Miss Evers should first do no harm. After she found out about the withheld treatment, she continued to follow through with the study; even though she knew Syphilis would kill her patients and that Penicillin could treat their illness. I believe she advocated for the patients when she found out about the Penicillin, but the doctor whom she trusted felt the study was necessary for the greater good to prove it’s not an African American disease. I felt like he made her feel guilty, because he knew…
The Castle (1997) is an Australian comedy film directed by Rob Stitch, renown for perfectly incapsulating the spirit of Middle class Australia. Starring Michael Caton, Stephen Curry, and Eric Bana, The Castle utilises an all Australian cast to illustrate the lives of Australians in the 90’s. The purpose of this essay is to deduce the parallels between the castle and life in 1990’s Australia. The Castle not only represents life in 90’s Australia, it is a landmark film in 90’s Australian culture.…
Also in this movie sexism and gender roles happened in it. Just like during the times before this women had to stay in the house all the time. And they couldn’t get jobs…
The film "The Castle" presents us with a representation of an Australian family. Most people would agree however that they are not a typical family. A few of the reasons is, for this is that there is no such thing as a typical family, roles have changed and people are not so community minded as shown in the film.…
The movie showed instances of gender stereotyping most strongly. Starting with the women characters, there is a laundry list of notable instances, but I will only name a few. We can start with Azteca, Z's friend and fellow "worker". While Z is a typical male who is competitive and wants to move up in the world, Azteca maintains a somewhat "typical" female response. Instead of encouraging him, she tells Z to just smile, and happily accept his place, even if it is an awful life where he is to literally digging ditches his whole life. This example simply highlight the stereotype that women can, in effect, be "yes men", the phrase further illustrating the perception of weakness in females. Another time when this theme appeared was when the Queen was talking to her daughter, who was, in an old-school sort of way, betrothed to a man not of her choosing, the general. While the daughter complained, the Queen simply urged her to be complacent, and accept her fate, because it is "the best thing for everyone". Another instance, and one which I found particularly hilarious, was the woman wasp(no coincidence there, of course). When Z and the princess were in trouble, she insisted to her husband that he help them, because it was the humanitarian thing to do. It was presented in such a way that harkened to the proverbial housewife image, whereby the…
She is extremely ambitious but is able to see the limitations put on what woman are able to do. When she meets Bob Arnold, she tells him that she wants to be a senator someday. He replies saying that there are many woman senators, but she calls him out on it saying that there were only two. The role of sexism comes into play again in the episode when the bribe is taking place at the Winnifred Beecher Howe Memorial. The bribe took place there because no one ever came to this monument of a woman. They have no respect for her and call her a pooch and bark at the monument. This part of the episode satirizes how men take advantage of women in the government and all different aspects of life. There is no respect for women and their accomplishments. The juxtaposition of the Abraham Lincoln Memorial shows the lack of attention women get. The Beecher Howe Memorial was completely empty but the Lincoln Memorial was crammed with people there asking for his advice. In this time period, men and women are considered equal, but there is still sexism hidden from…
Female accomplices of the Holocaust were put in a peculiar environment. These accomplices embodied the symbol of the female but were voluntarily at sites of extreme violence. This proved to be troublesome for SS officers because they were under the assumption that they needed to protect these women. Instead, these women embraced the violence. One example of this environment was when Vera Wohlauf, a wife of an SS officer, was present at the liquidation of the Miedzyrzec-Podlaski ghetto. Wohlauf enjoyed being at the liquidation and made other officers uneasy because she was pregnant and they wanted to set a boundary between home and violence.…
The film also shows how males are being raised to treat women as if they are less then they are (the mask). The facts that the whole film brings up I feel are all related to the environment that the person is raised…
At the beginning of the book, the reader may see her as a flirt. The workers believe that she should stay in the house, cook, clean and only talk to her husband like most wives in 1929 (Steinbeck). She breaks the stereotype that believes women should stay in their house and cook and clean (Steinbeck). It is easy to see her as the antagonist because there is “no piece of jail bait worse than her” (Steinbeck), but towards the end of the book she shows a different side of herself. It becomes easier and easier to see her as a rebellious girl that is trying to make something of herself instead of an unloyal flirt. By doing this, Steinbeck shows that everyone stereotypes people without knowing what they are really…
The Interrupters tells the moving and powerful stories of three Violence Interrupters who attempt to protect and improve their Chicago communities from the violence they used to be in. The Chicago Project for Violence Prevention was founded in 1995 by Dr. Gary Slutkin. After returning home to Chicago and hearing stories about children murdering children, he created Ceasefire, operating from the reasonable premise that violence is, fundamentally, a public health issue. Chicago itself has been for the longest time a symbol for the violence in our cities all across America. Chicago is continuously overwhelmed with numerous shootings, fights and even deaths throughout the community. When we look at the applications…

Bullies seem to share certain qualities; bullies make themselves feel big by making other people feel small, to make themselves feel better about their own personal issues. Bullies act cruelly in order to get attention, and the people who watch and laugh are just provoking the bully to keep going. It’s difficult to stand up to a bully, especially when they’re a lot bigger and stronger than you. If bullies could control themselves and the way they treat others, there would be fewer bullies in the world.…
