Waves crashed into the small hull, her tiny voice being drowned out by the sound of it. Between the lighting flashes, she sees the two adults race along the boat, securing belongings that had come loose. Her brother sits near her, frightened and crying, yet somehow comforting as her tiny hands cling to his fur. The rain whipped around them, blown about by fierce winds, and she covered her head to protect against the stinging droplets. Another crack echoed in her ears, but this one was not accompanied by thunder. Water rushed over her feet as the hull bent into strange new shapes around her. Another crash of lightning revealed nothing but the now illuminated night sky, roiling with the dark clouds of the storm. Then the cold overwhelmed her, the current dragging her away from her sibling and under the water. Spinning recklessly, she flailed in the depths until the darkness set in, mercifully quieting

Imagine you are a lawyer tasked with an impossible case, and everybody in your community is against you, but still there is a shred of hope you cling to. What might that be you ask? That to which you cling are your morals. In To Kill a Mockingbird Atticus Finch had been given the Tom Robinson case, where a black man was convicted of raping a white woman. As a single father of two children, he continues to reinforce his values throughout the trial and during his daunting task of raising his children. In To Kill A Mockingbird what Harper Lee suggests about the nature of morals is that you should try to stand up for what you believe in even if people oppose or reject your ideals. Even when faced with an insurmountable opposition you should stand up for your morals because in the end if your don't follow your beliefs you are just contributing to the problem. We should try to create a voice for what we believe in and impress that upon the next generation so they can continue to exercise their beliefs to make the world a better place.

In the essay, The Loss of the Creature, written by Walter Percy, he discusses multiple stories relating to an unknown “creature” in our lives. Life is about our experiences. It is important to explore the world whenever we get the opportunity, but we must look at the world through a new perspective in order to truly see it. Walter Percy indirectly tells us, the most worthwhile kinds of experiences are not the ones we plan, but the ones we don’t quite expect to happen. My mother planned a vacation for my family and I looking for that once in a lifetime experience. She decided that experience would take place in Hawaii, the Aloha State. Unfortunately, that once and a live time experience she was searching for, would not be the highlight of our vacation. It would be something simple, yet surprisingly beautiful and euphoric. It was my “true experience”, my “creature”.

The film, Beasts of the Southern Wild, tell the story of a rural community called Bathtub in Southern Louisiana to induce themes of classism and community ties. Behn Zeitlin does a great job reminding us of our connection with each other and the world around us. The Americana aesthetic of the film mirrors our hero’s resiliency in the face of destruction. At stake in this aesthetic and exploration of these politically charged themes is an interpretation on how we can connect to each other across racial, economic, and social divides.

“You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view until you climb in his skin and walk around it.” Which I have learned is very true just recently.

“The Last of the Mohicans” is a historical novel written by James Fennimore Cooper in 1826, depicting colonial America in 1757 amidst the bloody and long-drawn French and Indian War. The novel is an epic tale of war, loyalty, and the clashing of peoples from different backgrounds and races. Roughly 160 years later, the novel was adapted into a film which, despite the identical settings of the book and the movie, largely transforms the complex historical novel of a war amongst races into a saga of love, lust, and sacrifice through the oversimplification of the novel’s two female characters, Cora and Alice. Although, in the book, Cora is depicted as a fiery and mysterious Afro-Caribbean woman who lacks a love interest and dies heroically at the hands of the enemy, in the movie, Cora is reduced to a white woman whose character is centralized around the competing interests of two white men and appears destined for love. Ultimately, Cora’s character transformation from book to novel through her changed race, her exerted femininity, and her eventual romantic happy-ending demonstrates the serial reconstruction of strong, complex female characters as oversimplified vehicles for an audience-accepted romantic plotline and the centralization of male character dominance.
