Reaction to the God's Must Be Crazy
It Was Crazy!
Reaction paper for The Gods Must Be Crazy directed by Jamie Uys

___________________________ There wasn't a minute that our block didn't stop laughing our butts off when we watched The Gods Must Be Crazy. The characters of that humorous movie did well in their acting and so did the director of the movie for doing a great job for taking such wonderful cast and handling the actors of the great South African outback. What I loved most while watching the movie is its countless humor scenes like the when Andrew Steyn--a shy and bumbling biologist who is studying animals, left his car on a slope to open a gate and the car went uphill and back! The film's humor is not that immature or mature which is why it is suitable for all types of audience. Never did I imagine that I would laugh until my heart's content when we watched the movie, because of course as a teenager I assumed that this is yet going to be another boring movie our teacher expects us to make a reaction paper for.

Bottle drop! I find this scene really interesting when “god bestowed” to Xi and his tribe a glass bottle. In the urban area we just take that bottle for granted, but in Xi's tribe they make use of the bottle in so many ways like crushing herbs, polishing snake skins, making it a musical instrument, and etc. In our respective urban areas, we squander great amount of money for apparatuses we dont need, unlike the tribe of Bushmen who made a lot of uses just a single bottle of coke

It's inspiring how the ways of an outback-cultured person can save the life of an urban breed. Like how Xi saved the lives of Kate Thompson--the teacher who Andrew Steyn is romantically involved with, and his fellow men. Xi's skill to immobilize a man stealthily is one of the skill Mr. Steyn doesn't have! They harmoniously worked together as a team in order to save the lives of 20 or more children and Ms. Thompson from the grip of the guerrillas. Therefore, we musn't think highly of ourselves

    Owl Creek Bridge Hero

    Ambrose Bierce’s, “An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge”, is the story of a want-to-be hero. The main character, Peyton Farquhar, cannot participate in the war, and has to stick to just being a farmer. Bierce puts a spin on what it is to be a hero in this story, and what happens to them. In his story through the eyes of Farquahr, one must be a soldier, do something spectacular, and then make away back home to the soldiers family, to be a hero. These are the three parts of what it means to be a hero; although Farquhar interestingly enough, never gets to be a hero. In an unexpected turn of events, Farquhar is actually dies in the seconds after the Union soldier drops the floor from under Farquhar.…

    The movie "Ned Kelly" is telling the audience about Australian history and that Australia is not a perfect country, but struggles with criminals as well. It also conveys racism, not against blacks, but against the Irish. This is now dispelled as Ned Kelly is known as the 'Australian hero', not the 'Irish Migrant of Australia hero'. The Kelly family were always the target of the soldiers' fun. Friendship is portrayed as being vital, as the gang of outlaws would not have been able to achieve what they did if their bonds were not as strong. A barrier between classes was also evident in the movie, which is applicable to those times and even in modern times.…

    Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed both, The Grapes of Wrath, as well as, Their Eyes Were Watching God. While The Grapes of Wrath focuses more on the suffering of people in America during the Great Depression, Their Eyes Were Watching God fixates further upon the struggles of specific people. Even so, despite obvious differences in the plots and the writing, I was able to find several similarities amongst the two stories. Similarities such as, parallels between the main characters, the appearances of many different themes, and even corresponding problems characters were forced to face. While both books are, in ways, radically different in the way their stories are told, the books still manage to correlate to one another, and captivate readers for over the span of 60 years.…

    This meant that even though they were required to carry the physical load and bear the emotional consequences, they still had to “fight” for survival. Every characteristic or thought was taken in a positive manner and helped them develop confidence and motivation that lead them to overcome the devastation of war. For example there was an epiphany for Jimmy Cross at the end of the story when he realized the predicament of not being focused in war. This lead him to burn the letters, which shows a great deal of confidence and motivation, developed during war. The act of him burning the letter made sure that he was willing to forget the fantasies about his girlfriend Martha and become focused in war. He had managed to acquire the courage by simply an incident that could have potentially proven to be fatal. Therefore this helped in developing confidence and the ability to be focused while also motivating him to be alert in war. Therefore this gives us insight that the author provides details about the consequences of war faced by the soldiers not only physically but also mentally such as fear, love and grief. The ability or mental strength required to overcome the atrocities of war is immense and this is intensified by gravity of the precarious situation. “They carried their reputation.” Thereby leading to this conclusion that war has many social and personal consequences that are reluctantly compelled onto a soldier but it undeniably lead to the development of confidence and…

    Desmond Doss was a soldier who Was disrespected by his own felo soldiers and sergeant because he held certain beliefs. Examples of this disrespect was when Desmond was beaten up by his own soldiers and treated differently by his sergeants because he held a belief to not hold a gun. The soldiers and sergeants thought this was because Desmon thought he was better than the others even though it was really because Desmond had done and seen terrible things when he was young. Mel Gibson allowed us to look into the life of Desmond Doss and and show us how he was disrespected. We can see the disrespected that was acted on Desmon is not right, especially from his own team mates, his own country. This film inspired me because even though Desmond was disrespected he showed a lot of resilience and perseverance. I also now know that people beginning can change their beliefs and values. And we need to respect these…

    Determining the rights of non-human animals and deciding how to treat them may not be a choice available to our human society. As an advocate for the rights of animals, Tom Reganʻs three main goals are to abandon the use of animals in any scientific research, discontinue all commercial animal agriculture, and to completely terminate both commercial and sport animal hunting. To support these intentions, Regan argues that every human and non-human animal possesses inherent value, which makes them all more than a physical object or vessel. He then states that possessing inherent value allows every human and non-human to have rights of their own. To further his argument, Regan claims that the any human and non-human retaining rights requires equal treatment and respect from others. To conclude his argument, Regan states that due to these reasons, non-human animals cannot be treated as resources and must be treated by humans as equals. In this paper, I object to Reganʻs third premise, which states that non-human and human animals must be treated as equals and with respect, because our communication barrier with non-human animals restricts us from determining their notion of equal treatment or respect, and that attempting to do so could…
