    In a materialistic culture, such as one that the United States has become, objects or possessions often have a surface value of relevance to consumers, but the underlying sentiments in these objects are lost or nonexistent. Contrasting that type of culture, these ideals can be romanticized in writing, film, and other forms of media. This is evident with Stieg Larsson and his ability to make commonplace tools pits of deeper meaning that exclaim their symbolism to readers of The Girl Who Played With Fire. Consequently, in Larsson’s work, a car, a book draft, and a computer help to develop an intriguing plot and dynamic characters.…

    To explain the significance of the word fire that is portrayed repeatedly in section 2 of the Glass Castle, we first need examine why she uses the word fire. Can she relate the meaning of the word fire to her life? Well on page 15, paragraph one, lines 5 through 6; “You can’t live in the fear of something as basic as fire”, shows that fire is something that one shouldn’t be in fear of and should be least feared. That she should be in charged and not the other way around. The second time is on the same page, but on paragraph 3, line 3 to 4; “She already fought the fire once and won.” This phrase here seems that Jeanette is in battle with fire and she always tried defeat the fire no matter what the outcome. No matter what the incident was she’d…

    Nat Turner is the most famous and most controversial slave rebel on American history. He was living in the innocent season of his life, in those carefree years before the working age of twelve when a slave boy could romp and run about the plantation with uninhibited glee. Nat in his young years cavorted about the home place as slave children did generally in Virginia. He was first lived in Turner's house, who owned a modest plantationin a remote neighborhood "down county" from Jerusalem. His daytime supervisor was his grandmother, Old Bridget- who regaled the boy with slave tales and stories from the Bible. Nat had become very attached to his grandmother. The Turners had become Methodists, who held prayer services on their farm and took the blacks to Sunday chapel. Among such slaves were Nat's grandmother and his mother, Nancy, a large, spirited, olive-skinned young American, imported to North America before 1808, to toil as bondsman on farms and plantations there. By the time Nat was four or five years old, Nancy was extremely proud of him. Bright-eyed and quick to learn, he stood out among the other children. He never touched liquor, never swore, never played practical jokes and never cared a thing for white people's money. Being a Methodist, the old Master not only approved of Nat's literacy but encouraged him to study the Bible. The preachers and everybody else in the boy's world – all remarked that he had too much sense to be raised in bondage, that he " would never be of any service to anyone as a slave.…

    In short, the two films I chose to compare and contrast are Faith Even to The Fire and The Long Walk to Freedom because both films cover diversity and ethics. Therefore, both films have disenfranchise groups such as in the film Faith Event to The Fire the Nuns are being disenfranchise and in the film the Long Walk to Freedom the African Americans are the group being disenfranchise because of the color of their skin. The differences between the groups are the reasons on why they’re being disenfranchise because the Nuns reason was solely on their gender in the Catholic Church. In the film, we learned that one of the Nuns stated that, “We have to defend our human rights.…
