The film “American Tongues” documents a variety of English accents that are present across the United States and highlights a lot of the opinions people have about accents and people who speak these accents. A large majority of the people who express opinions about other peoples’ accents tend to express negative views, as they see their own accent as the superior one. The film focuses on showing the array of accents found in the U.S., but also how a lot of people who speak these “inferior” accents work to learn “Standard American English” to increase their chances of getting jobs and communicating in more official domains. Although the film was made in 1988, it expresses views still present in today’s society towards different accents, as people tend to continue judging others based not only on what they say, but also how they say it.

Her story is the only story in the novel from a child’s point of view. She continuously conveys throughout the novel the psychological and emotional stress resulting from her past experiences. A similar story to Sharon is any story from the children in Syria. In LA Times, Syria’s Ravaged Children, it is explained how children suffer each and every day. Ultimately, Susan lost her childhood due to her traumatic experiences. Sadly, this is true for the children of Syria. Many of them cannot go outside and play, or go to school due to the dangerous circumstances in the country. In the article, Williams’ states, “once the war is over, the world will be confronted with a generation of children who lost their childhood” (2013). Unfortunately, this is all too common in countries of war. Not many people think about the effect wars have on children; however, it is something that the world should start

Their homeland isn’t safe and want the American people to realize things aren’t the same.

In the book Night and the movie, Schindler’s List, the protagonists go through major changes due to their experiences of the Holocaust, a period in history no man would want to envision. Schindler’s List is created to convey a different side for the tragic time in history, an ordinary businessman. This businessman, Oskar Schindler, wants to prove that there will be hope in this desperate time. However, the motive behind Night is different. In Night, the author Elie Wiesel aims to describe his experiences in the Holocaust to avoid the past from reoccurring. Hence, Night is more effective in demonstrating Holocaust education through characterization. As the characters undergo changes in the novel, the goal of the author is attained.

Ishmael Beah tells of the events of his youth and untimely loss of his childhood in his book A Long Way Gone: Memoirs of a Boy Soldier. In this heart wrenching recollection of his childhood, Ishmael tells of how the war in Sierra Leone changed his life and took him from the life he led as a child growing up with his family, hobbies, love of music and mischief, and left him a wandering orphan and later, a brutal soldier who’s daily activities consisted of killing, burning and thievery. Surviving the fate that befell him required resorting to tactics that skewed the basis of reality. The basis of Beah’s existence was sustained on the fact that he and the other soldiers around him maintained a daily struggle of tug of war between their traumatized

In a blink of an eye, the children go from happy and carefree, knowing they have loving families at home, to wondering if they will ever see anyone they know alive again. I felt very sad and sickened, seeing those events through his eyes, and thinking of how many children in the world have lived through similar events. Eventually, hunger sets in and the boys steal food from people as they sleep and even wrestle corn away from a young child. It was painful think of the things people in other parts of the world are going through while I sit in my comfy chair; reading a book, and eating snacks.

“Oscars So White” a phrase that began trending on social media sites after the 2016 Academy Awards announce their nominees for Best Actor and Best Actress, it was predominately white for a second year in a row. The movie industry is no stranger to controversy and since its inception it’s constantly been guilty of underrepresenting ethnic people. It’s evident that film is a type of mass media that has a certifiable amount of power to influence audience’s views, yet this platform constantly disregards the need for diversity in favor of stereotypes. Movies such as Breakfast at Tiffany’s (1961), Scarface (1983), and Pan (2015) are all guilty of this. The depiction of non-American characters in Hollywood movies are constructed around racial

To sum up, this novel narrates the journey of a soldier throughout the war in Iraq and his mind altering experience. The war represents a major downfall in his life in which he encounters many graphic scenes. Even though John describes his experiences in the war as a

Lawrence of Arabia is considered one of the b est cinemas of all time, however; the movie itself poses a negative effect for history buffs. The right and wrong aspects of the movie create a great visual experience but the bottom line is that it doesn 't accurately cover the events that unfolded. It seemed like instead of telling the truth the director wished to tell a story with fantasies of dramatized events, incorrect terrain, and even fictional characters. Even with this in mind there still stands a truth to it all and whether the sacrifice of historical importance is worth the so-called appeal of entertainment.

Charlie Kaufman and Michel Gondry found the perfect, fragmented form to simulate memories in the non-linear storyline of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004). The thematic elements of the film helps this simplistic story of love found, lost, and found again develop into a complex pattern, much like the workings of the brain. Each character is everything you would expect them to be in real life – down to earth, imperfect, and hopelessly searching for the love someone can only dream of. We can relate to them because we all long for more than we are, and want the best of us to be shown to someone else. Memories make up who we are, they define us. Life teaches us lessons which shape our memories, and in turn, we learn from them. What if those memories were gone? Are we still destined to be the same person? The protagonist of the movie is Joel, and the story surrounds his relationship with Clementine. The antagonist can be seen as Patrick, who tries to destroy their relationship, or Lacuna Inc., whose purpose is to make them forget their relationship. Charlie Kaufman has created a beautiful story that incorporates so many valuable forms in cinema, and leaves viewers on the edge of their seat until the very end. My goal is the show the class concepts of this narrative, as well as demonstrate how the way the film’s story is told

The movie “North Country” is based on a coal-mining town in northern Minnesota. Josey Aimes leaves her abusive husband with her two children and decides to move in with her parents. Josey started with a job shampooing in a nearby hair salon, but it was not enough to support her family. Therefore, she decided to take a job at the coal mine where her father works also.

“Amistad” was released in 1997 on the territory of the United States of America.The historical period, portrayed in the film, is the year of 1839. It was the year when a terrible rebellion took place on board the Spanish ship La Amistad, which transported slaves. It was the time when the slavery was abolished in the North and the South of the United States of America was discontented for they severely needed slaves to work for them. American courts still decide whether the black person is free according to the place he comes from. The trial over the rebels from La Amistad asks the main question: ”Are these rebels slaves or free people?”. The “free giving” North and the “enslaving” South were already opposing each other and their relations were rather problematic. The incident became a scandal as it truly reflected the conflict of that time. According to the American laws back then only Africans could be considered free people. The story takes place in the time-gap before the Civil War, which lasted from 1861 till 1865. “Amistad” is a true story about the slaves that try to go back to their motherland – Sierra Leone. ”La Amistad” is the name of a Spanish vessel with 53 African slaves on board the ship.
