summary 2012 movie
In 2009, astrophysicist, Dr. Satnam Tsurutani in India informed geologist, Dr. Adrian Helmsley about the biggest sun eruption that happened very recently which caused significant increase in the Earth core’s temperature. Dr. Helmsley went directly to the White House and showed the report to the President’s Chief of Staff, Carl Anheuser.
After a year, President of the United States, Thomas Wilson, met with other world leaders to make preparations in order to save humanity by constructing arks at the Himalayas. A Buddhist monk, Nima was evacuated while his brother Tenzin worked in the arks. As additional funding, tickets to the arks were sold to private citizens for €1 billion per person.
In 2012, fiction writer and part-time limousine driver to Russian billionaire Yuri Karpov, Jackson Curtis, picked up his children, Noah and Lily, from his ex-wife, Kate’s boyfriend, Gordon’s house. He took them camping to the Yellowstone National Park only to find out that the lake already dried up and that a military headquarter was put up.
They were taken to the headquarter and Jackson was recognized by Dr. Helmsey who read his book Farewell Atlantis. On their way from the headquarter, they were stopped by Charlie Frost, a science conspiracy theorist who has his own radio talk show, and asked them about the military activity. That night, Charlie told Jackson about the 2012 phenomenon and even about a map, where arks were being constructed, in his possession.
Jackson and his children arrived home right after a bad earthquake. Seeing his employer Yuri Karpov and his two sons getting on an airplane, Jackson became suspicious and rented a Cessna 340 and called Kate to get the children ready as he was picking them up. Earthquake shook the city even before Jackson came. They were able to go away with Gordon flying the Cessna.
Jackson decided to go back to Yellowstone to get the map from Charlie. Charlie died from a blast while Jackson made it with his family and got the map from

    There were mixed feelings about Jackson’s appointment to a separate command. Some thought—and the head of the Bureau of War, Robert Kean, was among them—that Jackson might not perform as well with a separate command as he had as a subordinate. The decision was generally received with favor by the public, however. “He will prove himself an instance of ‘the right man in the right place,’” stated the Richmond Daily Dispatch. Public opinion meant nothing to Jackson, all he was concerned about was getting to Winchester as soon as possible. He and his staff arrived a little after midnight, having made…

    Kristen Swanson (1991) began her career as an OB nurse and was interested in the effects that miscarriages and death of younger children had on mothers. Swanson and her colleagues began to look at how the mothers handled the circumstances of the death of a child at a young age over the course of three studies done during the 1980’s. What was discovered was that the staff members were able to help the mothers during these periods by showing compassionate care for the patients and the families. Swanson was a student of Jean Watson, who is another nursing theorist interested in the idea of caring.

    42 Movie Summary

    Jackie Robinson, 42, first black man to play on a team of all whites and make it to the world championship. He rocks. His number is retired and people wear the number 42 on their jersey every year for one day because of him. All of this information I got from the movie 42. The movie was amazing and very good! In the beginning when it showed how he became selected was different than what I imagined it would’ve been done. During the movie there were threats from white people saying they’d come where Robinson lived and hurt him or something, so he left with the black reporter guy who later became a part of the American Baseball Press or whatever it was called. However, Robinson thought that he was leaving cause he got drafted from the team. :P Later on in the movie, because Robinson got accepted to play on a Major League Baseball Team, the Brooklyn Dodgers. However, most members on the team wrote a petition saying that they wouldn't want to play baseball if Robinson joined the team because he was black. Jackie Robinson was not only bullied by the audience, but also by other players of different teams. One of those people were Ben Chapman; he bullied Robinson until he almost lost it, but had a teammate stand up for him, and Chapman ended up having to take a picture with Robinson to show the world he changed whether he did or not. Another person who technically bullied Robinson was the guy who threw the pitch at Robinson’s head. His name I forgot but I remember because of that pitch to the head, both teams broke out in a fight and Robinson was confused on what was going on or so it looked like. Of course though, Robinson got the Dodgers to make it all the way to Championship or World Series, I forget which one it was. I can sort of tell that throughout the movie, there was a lot of things that they most likely left out like how much and/or bad he was threatened and what he went through being the only black man on a white team, etc.…

    In Godzilla’s Footprint, author Steve Ryfle begins by stating that the film Godzilla was not released to the Unites States until 2004, fifty years after the original release in Japan. Ryfle goes on to quote critics that were flabbergasted by the contrast of two films - the original Japanese film with its primitive special effects and recollection of the horrific aftermath of the atomic bombings, versus the re-cut, copy and pasted version showed to the United states as a monster-mash entertainment film.…

    Andrew Jackson was who started the act that moved thousands of Indian families to Oklahoma. This displacement was what became known as the "Trail of Tears." The Natives were forced to walk across the country during the winter with nothing but clothes, where nearly 2000 Native Americans died. Jackson must have thought it was okay for him to evict them because of his thought to designate their own land to live on, even though the Native had so many advances in becoming civilized so they could be accepted by him and other citizens.…

    Jackson Jackson is a homeless Indian living in Seattle. He was given a chance to win back his grandmother’s powpow regalia. I believe that throughout the story all of Jackson’s intentions to try and get back the regalia were good, although it didn’t seem like it at first. What made me like Jackson was his continued effort. Also what made Jackson more likeable in the story was he used his humor to help him. Jackson is a very complex person with many different sides to him.…

    During the American Revolutionary War, Jackson was teenager when he joined a local militia. His oldest brother, Hugh, died from heat exhaustion during the Battle of Stono Ferry. Jackson and Robert (his brother) were captured by the British and held as prisoners; they almost died in captivity. When Jackson refused to clean the boots of a British soldier, the soldier slashed at Andrew with a sword, leaving him with scars on his left hand and head, in a result to that he had an intense hatred for the British. While in prison, the brothers had got smallpox. Robert died a couple days after their mother allowed them to leave. After his mother was assured Andrew would recover, she volunteered to nurse POW (prisoners of war) on board two ships in Charleston, where there had been an outbreak of cholera. She died from the disease on November 1781, and was buried in an unmarked grave, leaving Jackson an orphan at the age of fourteen. Jackson's entire immediate family–aside from his father, who had died earlier–died from hardships during the war, Jackson blamed the British.…

    Just a few weeks before Jackson was born his father had died, leaving his mother alone to raise three children. He was born on March 15, 1767 in Waxhaw. Life was difficult for him which eventually formed his quick temper, sensitivity to teasing, and urge to fight anyone who bothered him (Britannica). Andrew was 13 when the Revolutionary War came to America, which Jackson and his brother, Robert joined the effort. In 1781, British soldiers had captured the two but failed at breaking their spirits (Britannica). The British soldiers made them walk 40 miles through South Carolina while wounded. The wounds didn’t get treated, they got little clothes, and almost no food or water. In April 1781, their mother was able to get the boys back, Robert…

    When the news of the failed assasination on President Jackson was made public, many supporters of the president attributed the event to pure divine intervention. Some of the supporters of the president made divine conjectures to explain what happened to their president. For others who are critical of the performance of the president, they said that the president deserved what he got on that day. There were even some talks about a conspiracy theory, wherein the attack on the president was orchestrated from inside. There was a thinking then that this was a planned move to swing public opinion polls in his favor.…
