This can be considered unfair given The Godfather is in the category of the few films that showcases amazing performances‚ powerful direction‚ a rather tight script and characters that are multilayered. If The Godfather goes against the generic conventions of gangster genres and focuses on family and less violence‚ Once Upon Time in America (1983) is the epitome of gangster films (Browne 26). Sergio Leone made an increasingly dramatic and rather beautiful film that presented an episodic tale of the

Speech Analysis-Republican Presidential Debate-CU Boulder Frist of all‚ Debate was not organized at a place of everyone’s reach. I cannot think why anyone chose to have debate in such a small community where almost everyone has met what they have dreamed in their life.

She uses the example of financial inequality in this country to change her audience’s mood; by first making them upset about their countries current state and then making them feel relieved when she explains that she will fix it. One of Hillary’s other major claims is that education is important and in order to
