Lightning McQueen, or Lightning McGreed?

At the end of the cinematic masterpiece, Cars 3, Lightning McQueen appears before the rolling of the credits in the navy blue paint job of the late Doc Hudson. In this text post, you will find several reasons as to why this cinematic masterpiece’s sentimental ending has corrupted the legacy of Lightning McQueen. Though this text post relates to Cars 3, flaws belonging to Lightning McQueen start painstakingly early. From being reckless and self-absorbed, he has a rough start on creating sympathy from the audience. After carelessly destroying the road in Radiator Springs, Lightning McQueen begs to two oncoming travelers, “I'm telling you, you gotta help me! Don't leave me here! I'm in hillbilly hell!

    Wilker Theme Of Freedom

    One of the most important themes Wilker displays throughout the book is freedom. He repetitively mentions the road, the van, and back in his own childhood, the bus he used to get from his mother's place to his father's in New York during summer vacation. He even lists all of the methods of transportation in the order of there appearance in the film, including the Shark skateboards, which he finally reveals why when he writes, "I often get this feeling: deep life is elsewhere" (Wilker 19). In his efforts to describe the deep focus of the film, Wilker includes his own life, which also provides his point of view. These methods of transportation leads to freedom when Kelly, who Wilker describes as "the psychedelic hippie adventurer" (36), first eliminates the adult coach that the team is not fond of with his motorcycle, then steals a van, in order to get from California to the Astrodome in Texas where their game is. The road symbolizes freedom because the team is out on the road alone, no adult supervision, which means they are free to go wherever and whenever they desired.…

By planning to escape from the small town in Oklahoma, he shows he is an outcast. “He had tried so to keep his life from being complicated. Still, none of it had touched him. He had felt sorry for his mother and she had made him lie…. He wanted his life to go smoothly. It had just gotten going that way. Well, that was all over now” (Meyer, 138). If he stayed with his family, he knew he would undergo a large amount of pressure every day to join in with society. He leaves to Kansas City, where no one would bother him for confronting the social norms. He is free from living a complicated…

    Three wanna be bad characters made their main mistake of the night by driving out to Greasy Lake, a place everyone went to hang out. When they arrived they saw what appeared to be their friend's car parked so they began flashing their headlights and honking the horn. When the main character gets out of the car he drops the key to the car and there is a dramatic feeling that comes over him, Boyle really explains it well when the character explains how he feels at that moment.…

    Is Connie In Joyce Carol Oates Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been?

    Whether the man is her father or some basic, ordinary boy she met while she was out, her being whisked away by a man with a vehicle stands for her freedom. One of the first scenes in the film version of Oates’ story, Smooth Talk, is of Connie and her two friends hitching a ride from a stranger, but with Connie sitting in the bed of the truck. She is physically separated from her friends and is clearly a free-spirited girl. Later on, Connie and her father are conversing and she mentions that she can’t wait to be old enough to drive, literally showing her “means of escape from what she sees as the impossibly staid and dull existence of her suburban mom” (Dickinson 586-587). Connie feels as if she can’t wait to be able to have the independence she thinks is associated with driving herself instead of relying on someone to chauffeur her around town. In addition to her always riding in the passenger seat, every car ride in chronological order grows in intensity leading up to her interaction with Arnold. Each time she gets in the shotgun seat with a boy, the following events mature into a sight she hasn’t seen before. Every ride inches Connie closer and closer to the sexual freedom she imagines, but she could never dream of the doors Arnold opens for…
