Toni Baker-Moore ENGL 1010-152 Writing # 2 2/20/13 As the richest part of the country in the world‚ what can we do to help these people? The way of homeless people seems very far away from yours- but in some ways quite near. For any of us‚ the loss of jobs‚ the death of a spouse or a child or a severe physical disability could be the route to total despair.

about it. When I first heard about the movie coming to theaters‚ it did not sound like a movie I would like. However‚ when the word got around to me‚ I knew I just had to check it out. I must say that I am glad I sat down and watched it in its entirety. My first opinion was totally wrong. After watching the movie‚ I now understand the buzz that followed it. It was a classic story of a man who comes across a treasure and believes that it just must have been his lucky day. However‚ the conflict arises

I see in her bio that O’Connor was one of them. Ok here we go; I see that I am in for a bizarre climax. [1] Well now‚ Mrs. Freeman‚ she sounds like a stubborn person to me‚ one who hates to admit when she’s wrong. She sounds just like my mother-in-law. I wonder what was considered “important business?”[6]

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. Keats calls it a story of Bell’s “self forgiveness” as he realizes that the goals he had were way too great for him to handle. The viewers can obviously tell that Sheriff Bell looks completely defeated and extremely old in the last scene of the movie. His

Nihilistic Fools Many people idiotically believe they know everything about life; they make up their sets of beliefs and think they are above everyone. Nevertheless‚ the short story “Good Country People” by Flannery O’Connor demonstrates how even the most literate nihilistic person can be tricked by the simplest uneducated one. 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
