India & China in early 50’s: Although India and China had relatively little political contact before the 1950s‚ both countries have had extensive cultural contact since the first century A.D.‚ especially with the transmission of Buddhism from India to China.

Megan Malpass Womack English 1304 January 31‚ 2014 No Country For Old Men Response I completely disagree with Keats and his idea that the movie‚ No Country for Old Men‚ ends happily as Sheriff Bell tells the story of his dream to his wife.

They live in fear of falling from power to the point where any who question them are imprisoned‚ killed

Joy/Hulga discovered that her believe in nothing‚ was in reality nothing that had rock-solid foundations. People such as Joy/Helga are allowed to go up to a pedestal by
