Politics and people: Revolutionary Ropes and Contextual Confines Welcome all to the 2015 Annual Festival of Intertextual Insights. Humans cannot operate efficiently within a society which consists of complete totalitarianism. Texts which explore this are two of the most influencing pieces of our society‚ Fritz Lang’s Metropolis (1927) and George Orwell’s 1984 (1949). These two texts‚ when studied in comparison‚ I believe‚ enrich our understanding of the significant values presented in each due

In the beginning‚ the main character Jesse is depicted as an oppressed‚ yet artistic nine-year-old.

This would be the trip of a lifetime for me. Micah asked me to go camping in the “forest” with him and some friends. There was no way I would turn him down.
