    In auteur theory, a term originated by film critic Andrew Sarris in his essay, "Notes on the Auteur Theory"16, there is a desire to outline the personal vision of the director. This is said to be the key instrument to understanding filmmaking. In addition, he writes the question is how does a director express personal vision? The concern is how this theory is used to examine the initial “obsessions” and “thematic preoccupations” of the director versus the original creator or author. This essentially becomes a study or attempt to outline the director's desire and/or personal statement.…

    Jonathan Kozol

    I am reviewing Jonathan Kozol’s auto-biography, Death at an Early Age. This piece of literature provides the reader with an in-depth, personable account of schools of the 1960’s and the corruption that had flourished. Throughout this piece Kozol told of grim stories about public schools throughout Boston, Massachusetts; many of which would be incredibly disturbing. I believe Kozol’s thesis was the following: although legal segregation had been abolished in 1954, (Brown v Board) socio-economic segregation was still in full effect over ten years later. Or in other words, even though segregation had come to an end, African Americans were still denied fundamental rights, including an education.…

    21st-century bullying is at an all-time high.(Background info)In the beginnign, Jamie Nabozny, a student, attending school in a small Wisconsin town, in middle and high school was bullied maliciously on a regular basis. His students stood there, and the teachers willfully ignored his complaints as the savage beatings went on, to blame Jamie on his sexuality. The teacher’s failure to achieve anything caused Nabozny to attempt suicide, run away from home multiple times, and ultimately file and win a historic lawsuit against the officials that failed him.(Attention grabbing strategy) “The teacher was out of the classroom, he was hurt that his shirt was ripped, and people were grabbing him where they were not supposed to be.

    Even thought David Zinczenko and Radley Balko take two different approaches on whom should be blamed for obesity, they are actually in agreement that people should become more responsible with what they eat. This common ground becomes clear through Radley Balko argues its personal responsibility to choose what they out in their mouths, while David Zinczenko argues there should be more alternatives for the youth to eat then fast food. Both authors have great point about responsibility and alternative. Obesity should come to an end before it continues putting end to people’s life.…
