In the novel Fallen Angels by Walter Dean Myers‚ Lieutenant Carroll‚ the first leader the soldiers have in the novel‚ said‚ “’My father used to call soldiers angel warriors‚ because usually they get boys to fight wars. Most of you aren’t old enough to vote yet’” (44). The extremity of the youth of the soldiers was unbelievable. Through all they went through‚ one would assume that only grown men who have experienced the realities of the world were capable of handling the hardships in the Vietnam War

When watching the film‚ Blue Eyed‚ there were several disturbing ideas that were brought to my attention; not only because it was sad to see how the participants were treated‚ but because what was happening in the experiment that took place in the 1980s is still going on to this day. Jane Elliot‚ the “Blue Eyed” experiment inventor‚ proved that racism has not gone away and that the future in a way is not looking promising for prejudices to ever cease from existence. It made me really take a

Doodle’s Angel Even a whole year later I still felt responsible for his death; I was a wreck. I was still regretting how I treated him. So I take it as no surprise when I saw him for the first time after his death; I thought I was going crazy. He didn’t look like how he did when he died.

A few months ago‚ I was digging through my mother’s old pictures for fun on a lazy‚ Sunday afternoon. I quickly stumbled across her senior picture from 1985.

The Sound of Blue Velvet In Dreams You’re Mine Forever….is this Frank’s line‚ or is David Lynch speaking to the audience? Blue Velvet opens surrealistically with a dream-like/nightmarish introduction to suburbia. Amid the red roses posed against the white picket fence framed by the blue sky dwells a world of voyeurism‚ sadomasochism‚ the American dream‚ and naiveté. Lynch takes no time in getting to the dichotomizing nature of the film. Within the first few minutes‚ the viewer is shown
