Told almost entirely from a young, naive German boy’s point of view, Mark Herman’s The Boy in the Striped Pajamas is a hard-hitting Holocaust tale that will render audiences speechless. After arriving home, Bruno (Asa Butterfield) learns that his family will have to move because his father (David Thewlis) achieved a promotion in the Nazi army. Bruno noticed what he believed to be farmers living just past a stretch of woods near their new home. One day, not long after being told not to go near the “farmers,” Bruno leaves his home and heads towards the camp. There he meets Shmuel (Jack Scanlon), a young Jewish boy. While trying to understand what is happening in the world around them, the boys become friends. While…
Millard High School, like most high schools, has an extremely strong rivalry with its neighboring school, the Delta Rabbits. Maybe it is because of close proximity or maybe it is a fight for which team is the best in the county, but since the two schools started playing each other in 1926, tensions have always ran high in every aspect of competition. At any sporting event between the two schools, one can expect to see a gym, stadium, or field packed with the opposing colors of red vs blue. It is not just the players that make it such a strong competition. Fillmore is a town where you get those teachers who taught your mom, your dad, your grandpa, and all of your siblings. It is a generational fight for superiority that has been engrained in the kids. It is not uncommon to see grandparents, in yelling matches after games.…
The piece that spoke to me most was “Duck, Duck, Noose” by Gary Simmons. The artist draws parallels to both the randomness of the acts of violence targeted at African Americans by members of the Ku Klux Klan from post-Civil War Construction through present, as well as pointing out racism is a cultural trait learned in early childhood. One of the most valuable social rights we have is the right to feel safe from violence whether it is in our home or walking down the street. When I look at this piece of art it brings to mind the full history of African-American culture. The heritage of these people began, not as voluntary citizens looking for a new land, but rather as victims of violence having been kidnapped from their homes and forced into…
As I recently completed reading your world fame story, “One who flew over the Cuckoo's Nest” which explains the first person perspective of a patient who joins and becomes a friend with a stubborn rebel who rallies himself with the other patients to dethrone a nurse obsessed with power in the Mental Ward. Overall with certain confusing aspects of the story, the book is a well written piece of history.…
When Rabbit Howls is the story of a woman named Truddi Chase who suffered unspeakable sexual, physical, and mental abuse throughout her whole childhood. The book is written in third person, even though it is in fact an autobiography. The book is written not from the point of view of one coherent person, but from the individual thoughts of “the troop”, which is the name of the collective group of personalities that the one woman shares. As explained in the preface by Chase’s psychotherapist, “The troop members ‘see’ and ‘hear’ each other and carry on with one another that are real to them” (xxii). Because of the things that Truddi went through, she developed Dissociative Personality Disorder, which was previously known as Multiple Personality…
One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest by Ken Kesey's shows a real problem which is power. Nurse Ratched and Randle McMurphy are in a war together to gather eachothers power. As John Adman stated, "Because power corrupts, society's demands for moral authority and character increase as the importance of the position increase." This once again relates to power equals corruption. This is due to the fact that people want to be bigger and better than everyone else. Right off the back you can see the idea of men, great men, being bad is evident in the book.…
Everyone experiences discoveries differently. Discoveries can be sudden and unplanned or they can evolve from a process of careful and precise planning. They can be emotional, intellectual, spiritual or physical. Both texts Away composed by Michael Gow and Into the Wild directed by Sean Penn, demonstrate the idea that new understandings and renewed perceptions of others and ourselves can be a result of an individual discovery.…

The human relation’s movement proved to the world that humans are not “things” doing the work, but that they are human with emotions that need management’s attention. Organizations who took an interest in their employees’ working conditions and ideas only benefited in the business world. The increased attention given to the employees by their employer was a good way to reach out and let the worker know that they were valued and their welfare was a concern of the company (Charles, 2005). Employees want to feel as if they are contributing to the overall mission otherwise all of their work is for nothing. An organization who is willing to learn what their employees are feeling and take into consideration McGregor’s Theory Y Assumptions will complete their mission faster, better, and more profitable than any business who operates with the mindset that their employees are “just worker bees”.…
All journeys require a strong sense of ones humanity in order to be successful.

J. Hector St. John de Crevecouer had a unique opinion about America in the late 1700s. He believed that every person that lived here shared some things in common, “Here [in America] individuals of all nations are melted into a new race of men, whose labors and posterity will one day cause great change in the world… The American is a new man, who acts upon new principles; he must therefore, entertain new ideas, and form new opinions” (Crevecouer).…
