Analysis Of ' Belle And The Soldier '

Isabelle Buchanan Edmondson, nicknamed Belle, was an uncontrollable, wild young woman living with her family in Elm Ridge, Tennessee. Searching for an outlet for her restless energy she began smuggling and spying for her beloved South. In 1863, Belle began working for Captain Thomas Henderson’s Independent Scouts based out of Memphis. She transported contraband: basic necessities, medicine, weapons, and hundreds of letters between rebel soldiers and their families across the Yankee picket lines. To hide all of these illegal goods, Belle utilized the traditional Southern style dress of hoop skirts and elaborate hairdos, which concealed much. Sometimes she could not walk because of the heavy weight of hidden items under her clothes and would have to hire a ride.

Once upon a time, in a time period of war and division, there lived a traveling businessman who was known for both his riches and his greed. The businessman had a daughter who was as beautiful as she was kind and that they called her Belle, a Southern Belle. Though her father loved her in his own way, his love for money was his ultimate love. But his riches could not last forever and the war between the north and south had taken a turn for the worst. The Union soldiers had cut off the routes that he had always taken and his riches were depleting faster than he thought imaginable. After just a month the family was in poverty.

The Southern Belle was considered to be a creature of delicate modesty that would never find themselves volunteering for service as a nurse. Even with high volumes of dying and wounded soldiers due

Boom! Boom! Boom! The sounds of canons rage in your head as author Bobbi Miller paints a picture in your mind as you continuously turn one page after another. “The Girls Of Gettysburg” is an excellent read, as this historic time and place are brought to life. The world these girls know and knew, is changing. Grace had been free her whole life, she did not have the worries of other African American children, but this was not to last. Tillie, the daughter of a father with money, and a union loyalist was still somehow completely oblivious to what was about to happen, but sure as sure this would affect her too. Annie however, had lost both her brothers in the war for civil rights and lost her father when he died of a heartbreak. It was her turn

In the short film, “The Negro Soldier,” the whole focus was to get African Americans to join the military. With the use of propaganda, the U.S. government hoped to promote getting African Americans to want to fight for their country. It hoped to instill patriotism in them. It showed that Germany and the Nazis had no respect for them and considered them the scum of the earth. It also portrayed them being accepted as equals into the American society. It was used to make them think they were wanted and play a major role in the success of the war against germany. And to ultimately make Germany and the Nazis look like the bad guys (destroying their monuments) instead of the racist America they lived in. It also portrayed African American soldiers prior contributions in previously fought wars as pivotal moments in American history. It made it seem like they were the reason for those victories. It also explained how the African American soldiers were honored with tributes, memorials, medals and parades for their service in the military. In the ongoing WWII, it was said that there were three times the number of African Americans soldiers in WWII than in WWI. Also, many more were getting commissioned and attending West Point and OCS (Officer Candidate School). African American men that were once printers, tailors, entertainers are now soldiers in the Army as gunners, tankers, radio operators, mechanics, quartermasters, and infantrymen. They were now the backbone of

Combining the elements of adventure, ironic romance, and comedy make The Princess Bride an entertaining, fantasy romance novel. The story’s setting takes place in cities of Guilder and Floren, where Prince Humperdink lives. He decides to force Buttercup to marry him. However, Buttercup confesses her love for farmhand Westly. When she moves to the princes castle she is captured by three men named Inigo, Fezzik, and Vinzzini.

The Movie, The Prince Bride was about a young man named Westley and a woman named Buttercup that were deeply in love, but were separated for a long time due to their different paths in life. Westley would have to return in order to save Buttercup from not only an unwanted marriage but also to save her life. He must go through tons of trouble to be reunited with his true love Buttercup. In the movie The Princess Bride (1987) Rob Reiner explains that love is the strongest element Rob Reiner uses Irony and repetition to prove this point. Rob Reiner uses these elements in order emphasize the connection true love has is strong. In order to show people that love still exists therefore you shouldn’t just give up on love. The movie pertains towards people that are in love or have experienced it due to the movie being focused on a connection between two people even though how separate their lives were they were able to be together. The author uses Irony to prove that love is the strongest bond between people. When Westley was in a mission to save Buttercup he had a barrier in his way, a giant in which the odds on beating the giant was not in Westley’s favor. He was still able to Beat him in a fist fight, the connection true love created allowed him to win. The example from the movie was ironic because due to the odds westley had the viewers would think it would be impossible to fool the giant, the author was able to create physical but at the same time still making it ironic. This showed the viewers that there is nothing stopping him and true love. The author also uses irony when Buttercup believed that she was being forced to marry Prince Humperdink because he wanted the marriage, but actually the whole time Prince Humperdink was trying to have Buttercup killed by Vizzini who kidnapped and tried to murder her. He did all of this to frame it on Guilder to start a war. This shows irony and relates to the theme because the fact that Prince Humperdink was actually trying to kill Buttercup throws off the viewers because it seemed like he tried to save her when she was kidnapped but it was all his doings was completely against the viewer's expectation but created humor at the same time. This connects to the theme because

In this paper, I will explain how the article “The Lady and the Tramp (II): Feminist Welfare Politics, Poor Single Mothers, and the Challenge of Welfare Justice” by Gwendolyn Mink relates to the thematic focus of working women and the Marxist and socialist branch of feminism. In Feminist Thought: A More Comprehensive Introduction, Rosemarie Tong explains that Marxist and socialist feminists understand women’s oppression as a labor issue. Women’s work is not viewed as a productive contribution to society. One of the ways Marxist and socialist feminists sought to improve women’s oppression was through the wages-for-housework campaign of the 1970s, which fought for work done in the domestic sphere to be paid and respected by society. In this same vein, Mink’s article can be viewed as a continuation of sorts of the wages-for-housework campaign. Mink suggests that poor single mothers have the right for their work to be recognized by society and supported economically like the Marxist and socialist feminist in the 1970s.

Annie Johnson lacked money, education, and also privilege. Her marriage had collapsed due to her husband leaving her to pursue religion in Oklahoma and leaving her with very little money. But Annie needed to provide for herself and her sons, even if she had to do it alone. To Annie’s luck, she was a pretty outstanding cook and knew how to use her resources. A few miles down the road was a cotton factory.

This film is heartbreaking since the beginning from the time when the rebels not only kidnapped the girl, but they also forced her to kill her parents. Therefore, a difficult life would begin for this young child of only twelve years old. How she had to make her tears go inside her eyes so no one would see her crying, how she had to learn to suppress her feelings at that young age, when even for adult people is difficult to hide their feelings. However, as the class notes mention there was hope in this films since the girl found love even though through those circumstances. The Magician felt in love with her and took care of her. However, when they decided to escape from the Great Tiger, I knew that the outcomes of that decision will

Through being involved within the arts for most of my life, I have witnessed Shirley Temple clips of her dancing skills. Observing and analyzing each movement as a child in elementary school, I enjoyed her memorable dance performances. These clips I would watch in past dance classes made me interested in watching “The Little Princess” with Shirley Temple. Knowing the triple threat, she once was, I wanted to see her ability to sing and act in a film that I haven’t seen her star in. “The Little Princess” is about a young girl named Sara whose father was in the service as a captain in 1899. Growing up in India with her father, Sara was in Europe when her father had to go back to war. Within her emotional state, Sara had to stay in a privileged private school with supportive individuals to keep her safe. Sara was told by her authority that her father died in the war. Sara was determined from the moment she heard about her father’s death that he truly wasn’t dead. Her wealth dwindled after her father’s death because of the debt he had. Because of her determination and drive, she searched and investigated local hospitals in hopes to find her father. When Sara found her father, he didn’t know who Sara was because of his condition. He quickly discovered that Sara was with him, ending in a happy ending.
