    Get Capone: the Rise and Fall of America’s Most Wanted Gangster

    Al Capone. Everyone is bound to hear the name at least once in his or her life. The charming, broad smile, the greenish gray eyes, heavy set, and five foot ten and a half; a seemingly normal man. Until someone notices the scars. A faded purple, still fresh looking, Al Capone’s scars marred the normal face, they gave a glance into the life of the notorious gangster. But who was Mr. Alphonse “Scarface” Capone? One reporter comments, “… Here is a man [Capone] who is an enigmatic, a man who nobody knows, not even his closest intimates.’” (Eig 198) What did the public think of “Scarface”? Katherine Geroud said, "It is not because Capone is different that he takes the imagination; it is because he is so gorgeously and typically American." (Mr. Capone Quotes) What was this mysterious man involved in? Al Capone was a complex man who controlled countless illegal businesses and somehow managed to catch the attention and interest of America as a whole.…

    Analysis Of Christopher Mccandless Into The Wild

    In this passage above it explains of how people are both drawn into nature and danger. It puts Christopher McCandless nature adventure into perspective. From my opinion I think that everyone has this sense of embracing danger in some point of their lives, Christopher McCandless just went to the extreme most don't dare to touch. His adventure to Alaska was the equivalent of most teen's rebellion against their parents in my opinion. He wanted to find himself in the world and do something that not only counted, but left is imprinted out there.…

Upon departure from the training academy he was assigned to work in Sing Sing, the state’s maximum security prison in Ossining, where most inexperienced officers spend their first months on the job.

    This is the famous name that people refer Ness and his men as. Eliot Ness and his men forced Capone's organization to buy alcohol outside of Chicago and smuggle it in, a more expensive and time-consuming process.

    Johnny Friendly Is a Stereotypical Villain

    Johnny Friendly, the corrupt leader of the Hoboken Waterfront 1950s, New York is mostly depicted as a cliched gangster in the film On the Waterfront. He is larger than life, manipulative, controlling and a man who is driven by power and greed, all aspects clearly linked to the typical portrayal of villains of the 1940s and 50s films in America. Despite this, director Elia Kazan presents a side of Friendly that audiences are capable of feeling some compassion for. However, ultimately Friendly’s actions and his behaviour override any positive sentiments we may have towards him.…

    On the Waterfront

    The film opens at a point where a handful of longshoremen have decided they can no longer bear being exploited. Frustrated by other men growing rich and fat from his and his father’s hard work, Joey Doyle agrees to testify to the Waterfront Crime Commission about the restrictive and illegal practices taking place on the wharves. When Johnny Friendly and his gang get wind of Joey’s plans to testify, they decide to shut him up. Employing the cold-blooded tactics that have entrenched their power, the union heavies get Terry Malloy to call Joey onto the roof, with the pretext that he has one of his pigeons. Terry, a washed-up boxer whose brother Charley is Friendly’s right-hand man, was a willing participant, believing that all the gang was going to do “was rough him up a bit.” However, after Joey is thrown off the roof to his death, terry seems to feel bad and confused as he has being tricked to do something he did not intended. This relates to Elia Kazan’s situation, as a communist Elia Kazan did not like what he was in and what was happening within the party, therefore seeking for salvation, Elia ends up testifying against his colleagues , just like terry did to the mafia at the end of the film.…
