Laura Schneider Sociology 1 The City of God After watching “The City of God”‚ I personally can see the correlation that crime plays in association with poverty‚ social influence‚ and lack of law and order. Though my perspective vastly varies from that of sociological theorists‚ I think we can both conclude that this movie is an extreme representation as to what can occur when society shuns away disadvantaged youths to a place that lacks justice as well as ethical and moral responsibilities.

Introduction The gods‚ as presented in Homer’s Iliad‚ present a variety of difficulties for the critic. In their style and highly anthropomorphous form‚ they lack close parallels in earlier cultures‚ and compared to the gods of monotheistic religions seem petty‚ small-minded‚ and unworthy‚ perhaps‚ of veneration. Moreover‚ their role as a literary device is highly contested; some authors‚ assign to them the function of comedy and light relief‚ their actions affording a hiatus from the intense fighting

City of God: Editing and Mise-en-scene The first scene in City of God starts with an extreme close-up of someone sharpening a knife on a black rock.

At this point (30 seconds into the film) the audience does not know why the blade is being sharpened. As the scene develops further‚ cross-cutting and
