    1. I agree with the review by Josh Larson because the film does show a personal change in Ron Kovic as he goes through the war and also presents a political statement on how the Vietnam war was poorly handled by the government. The subtones of the film that Larson mentions reflect the change in the public view of the war, when Kovic was young, most people were supportive and energetic, like his mother. This feeling is represented by Kovic before he entered the war, shown not only by his willingness to participate but also through his features and personality, as Larson said, Kovic was full of “physicality, violence, victory, and the admiration of women”, after the war, he comes out changed, with both his physicality destroyed and his ability…

    In many ways, The Steadfast Tin Soldier from Hans Christen Anderson is both a somber tale about the unfortunate life and misadventures of a defective one-legged toy soldier and his longing for the affection of a beautiful paper ballerina, and a heartwarming story of determination and perseverance in the face of adversity. The tale starts off with the introduction of our single-legged protagonist and the circumstances behind his creation. The story then introduces the toy ballerina who the soldier falls head over heels for primarily because he thinks that she only has a single leg just like him. However, before the soldier ever gets the chance to confess his feelings he is confronted by a goblin (or jack in the box in some versions) who threatens…

    Erik Erikson was a developmental psychologist and psychoanalyst known for his theory on psychosocial development of human beings. It is said that his lifelong interest in the psychology of identity may be traced back to his childhood. Erik Erikson was born June 15, 1902 in Frankfurt, Germany. His mother and father had separated before he was born; in fact he never even met his birth father at all. Eventually his mother married a physician, Dr. Theodor Homberger years after he was born. The fact that Dr. Theodor Homberger was not his biological father was hidden from him for many years. When he finally did learn the truth, he was left with a feeling of confusion about who he really was. This early experience helped trigger his interest in the establishment of identity. Along with him finding out that who he thought was his biological father all along really wasn’t, he also encountered many other experiences throughout his childhood that sparked his interest in the identity crisis. For example at his temple school, the other children teased him because he was extremely tall, blonde, and blue-eyed. At grammar school, he was rejected because of his Jewish background. These early experiences throughout his childhood helped fuel his interest in his later career and continued to influence his work throughout his life.…

    Grief, death, devastation: with the strong exception of Rupert Brooke, these were the themes reflected in most war poetry during WWI. Brooke laced his poetry with sentimentality and nationalism, which was very different from the themes of other works during the time. Many people love and admire his poems, but despite his poetry being criticized by the public, Rupert Brooke was a talented young poet throughout World War I. This poem was first published in Brooke’s book of sonnets, 1914 rightly named for the year they were authored. WWI was an influential time for poetry and a catalyst for an important movement in poetry; war poetry. The poetry of this time reflected the feelings of the general public at the commencement of WWI. Brooke’s “The Soldier,” though seen as a hymn to the great nation of England during WWI, is today seen as overly sentimental and as romanticizing the horrors of the war through strong figurative language and symbols (“The Soldier”).…

    Erik Erikson is a developmental psychologist who is well-known for his two theories about Stages of Psychosocial development and Identity Crisis. He was born on June 15, 1902, in Frankfurt, Germany. His Jewish mother raised him by herself for a while before getting married to his step father, Dr. Theodor Homberger. In fact, he never knew about the identity of his real father until he grew up and found out by himself. This early confusing experience created his first notion about identity. The concept of identity in human development became more important to him when he was discriminated against at school for his Jewish background and Nordic tall, blonde, blue-eyed appearance.…
