"ROAD TO AMIR’S REDEMPTION In a lifetime‚ everyone will face personal battles and guilt‚ some large and some small. Such as guilt over sneaking out‚ not doing homework‚ or telling your parents a little white lie. People find peace of mind through redeeming themselves‚ in other words‚ we do something that makes up for the cause of guilt. Khaled Hosseini’s novel The Kite Runner revolves around betrayal and redemption. Redemption is the act of saying or being saved from sin‚ error or evil‚ which the

However‚ after analyzing for several hours I made the decision and I chose the poem “The Song of the Shirt”‚ because I really enjoyed how throughout the last years‚ women have improved their role in our society‚ enforcing their rights. Through this project I’m interpreting a poem that makes reference to the song the women sang while sewing for many hours non-stops.

Corrections February 26‚ 2012 “The Shawshank Redemption” Prison has always been a place of intrigue for people who have not spent time behind the bars of justice. Countless movies have been made to feed that intrigue by depicting prison life‚ but most have been grossly inaccurate.

In “Song of the South” clips‚ I noticed immediately that African American actors in the film were being depicted as slaves. I noticed that all the slaves in the film are very cheerful and happy to be working. This romanticizes the very unfair treatment of African Americans. All the workers on the plantation seem to sing songs while they willingly work. I also notice that the African American characters in the film‚ such as Uncle Remus‚ are only important as workers‚ entertainers‚ and in vague relations

Watching Shawshank Redemption was not only a fantastic journey‚ but it also made me question some of my beliefs regarding inmates. Andy Dufresne’s character conveyed a kind spirit even though the people he was surrounded by were anything but. Red’s mockery of the behavior assessment committee was especially poignant of what perspective of prisoners. Though I had never considered prisoners to be drastically different people‚ I had never realized how similar they were to us. The idea of contrasting
