People say that Canada lacks a unique identity, but Strange Brew took this opinion as a challenge with its extreme, satirical exaggeration of the stereotypical Canadian. Everything from the language to clothing is a Canadian exaggeration. The plot takes a Canadian pastime, beer, and revolves the story around it. What this really shows is the true identifier for Canadians, the ability to be at the butt end of our own joke. From the toque to the skates and all the Canadian stereotypes in between, scratch Strange Brew and it bleeds red and white.…

Well, since I really do not have a favorite movie that I can recall I have decided to write about a character that my kids often talk about and that is Eeyore from Winnie the Pooh. My kids often have questions of why he is the way he is looking so sad, being depressed and so reserved. Eeyore seems to fit on the introverted side of the scale and very low on the extraverted side. He is timid, shy, and doesn’t want to bother anyone, it is because of this he is typically alone. Eeyore’s personality is characterized mostly by introverted responses and actions; he is generally short and usually closed off with everyone. He does not like to seek adventure, but it seems to find its way to him through his fellow characters. He also does not like a lot of activity in his life. He is pretty content with a very quiet and boring lifestyle. He typically does not show emotion with others unless they are his close friends such as Tigger, Pooh, and the rest of the characters; however Eeyore seems to still be very reserved with them too. He is typically in a gloomy mood, showing signs of being depressed and very lethargic.…

Regardless to the fact Lennie is considered one of the principle characters in ‘Of Mice and Men’, he is arguably the least exciting. Throughout the novel he seems to be the same person as on the first pages, enduring no development, growth or significant changes. His character is very simple, in most scenes he is in, it is reinforced that he is very strong, he enjoys petting soft things and is devoted to George and the American Dream, that he and George will someday own a farm. It is this simplicity and helplessness in everyday life that earns the readers sympathy, and also forms the idea in the reader’s mind that Lennie is doomed. The powerful impact is created by the inevitability of Lennie’s death, so the reader’s sympathy and understanding…
