    'New World' By Richard Cohen Analysis

    Cohen makes a good case against the hypocritical reasons that the British gave for their treatment of the Native Americans. First, the British did not value the civilization they thrust themselves upon even though it had been successful for thousands of years. The "new world" was not technologically advanced like many European inventions such as the globe, and the black powder weapon; which gave the British the idea that their superior knowledge made them worth more as human beings. Submission to their rule was only alternative for Native Americans. Failing that, then force and treachery were a way to handle the "savages".…

    Into The Wild Analysis Essay

    Christopher McCandless was a young college graduate, who gave up everything to go live in the wild. Many people believe that McCandless was crazy and ignorant, others like Jon Krakauer, the author of Into the Wild believe otherwise. I agree with the author that Christopher McCandless wasn't a crazy, a sociopath, or an outcast, because he got along with many people very well, but he did seem somewhat incompetent, even though he survived for a long period of time.…

    Confessions Of A Dangerous Mind Analysis

    Films that claim the statement, “based on a true story” intend to make all of the pictured events as accurate as possible. While depicting a historic moment can be incredible hard, it can be even harder when the original script is constructed upon a lie. Confessions of a Dangerous Mind is a movie based the life of the man responsible for creating a genre of television in which we capitalize on today, but also for creating an autobiography so far- fetched that it appears to be true. Confessions of a Dangerous Mind presents a look into the fabricated double life of Chuck Barris.…

    After The Disaster By Abigail Deutsch Analysis

    In the poem "After the Disaster" by Abigail Deutsch she expresses the thought that things could be worse in someoneone's life and that many different things may come up and impact your life. I believe the primary feeling of the poem would be a little depressed and sad just based off of what all she talks about along the story and by the words she uses to describe this "disaster." But throughout the poem the author, Deutsch, uses sound, symbolism, and metaphors to convey the idea that many different things can have a huge impact on your life.…

    A Lesson On Life Jacob Shebler Analysis

    “Where the hell is the armor?” I remember asking myself as I lumbered up into the open back of a Humvee with canvas doors. By the looks on the squad and translators’ faces, they were asking themselves the same question. These days we kept our questions to ourselves, asking questions was not in the job description. Our job, at all times, was to do what we were told and do it fast. You see, up until this point we had traveled in the relative safety of our Amphibious Assault Vehicles, AAVs, or tractors as we referred to them. 8 to 10 men with weapons crammed into a space about the size of an average bathroom, an average bathroom packed with crates of thousands of rounds of ammunition, grenades, anti-armor…
