The movie ‘‘Pleasantville’’, written, produced and directed by Gary Ross, approaches a period in America’s history which subsequent generations idealise as a better and more stable society. He portrays this time period of the 1950s as a time when people and life were less complicated; a time when everyone knew their place in society. However, as the film ironically shows, this was a time when people were more ignorant, racist and most certainly sexist. Ross demolishes this illusion of the great 1950s American society by showing how its defects are gradually changed from black and white to colour. Ross shows that ‘change is inevitable’ once a catalyst for change is added to the ordered life of “Pleasantville”. Once David and Mary-Sue begin

‘Pleasantville’ is a satirical movie about two siblings who are high school seniors. They get transported into the 1950’s black and white television show ‘Pleasantville’. In the show, the sister, Jennifer, starts to become bored with how life was back then. She decides to take action. Introducing all her newly made friends to some of the pleasures of the 90’s may have been fun, but it came with a cost. Many people of the town started to become coloured instead of black and white. While Jennifer is enjoying her new and exciting life, her brother Daniel is worrying about how they are going to get home. What he doesn’t realize is that the changes to the townsfolk aren’t all Jennifer’s fault. He has also influenced Bill, the soda shop owner, by encouraging him to start work by himself, and stop relying on other people. These changes to the script caused many citizens to change colour, but those who remained colourless went on a rampage. In the scene I have chosen, the colourless have started a gargantuan bonfire of all the books. Hoping that if they

Before the 1880s, the are of eastern Brooklyn that was to become Brownsville was known as New Lots. This territory was primarily farmland, but it was also the location of the city’s largest waste dump, as well as the site of several facilities that supplied stone and other building materials. In its early history, New Lots had a diverse population. English and Irish settlers, Jewish immigrants, and a small number of African-Americans farmed the land. Others were attracted to the area by the open space and relatively fresh fresh air it provided. Brownsville at one time was a place for waste-disposal, a tenement slum, a haven for Jews before they were accepted, the cradle of a major crime origination, a testing-ground for public-housing and

On our journey to Brownsville the first struggle we encountered was with transportation to get to Broadway Junction. Of course the MTA isn't always reliable but there were frequent stops in between stops. While waiting for the train to get up and running again various people said things like “ugh not again,” “Something always happens on the A” and other similar phrases as well as others that seemed accustomed to train issues. Now if you think about it, the A train is highly populated by Hispanics and Black people. Could this have to do with why the MTA hasn't attempted to fix their transit situation. On another note most of the trains heading toward Brooklyn and the Bronx have the older not modernized train carts than the ones heading toward Manhattan or Queens. Theres a huge change in atmosphere just in the manner of transportation.

According to the US Census Bureau, in the year 2000 the City of Brownsville was 83.01 sq. mi., today, the city encompasses 146.3 sq. mi. This growth has been one of Public Works biggest challenges. This development translates into an expanded service area, which puts a strain on Public Works’ other divisions to keep up with the new areas to be serviced while still dealing with inherited situations. In effect it generates longer waiting periods to address our citizen’s needs as well as our departmental goals. As the City continues to experience rapid population growth it demands more services and more from the services provided.

“Five hundred men moved silently toward the gates that would shut out life and hope for most of them forever. Quarter of a mile from the railroad we came into a massive palisade with great squared logs standing upright in the ground. Fires blazed up and showed us a section of these and two massive wooden gates with heavy iron hinges and bolts. They swung open as we stood there and we passed through into the space beyond. We were at Andersonville.” – Private John McElroy.

In the middle of this boom in 1901, the working population of Pyrmont reached almost 30,000. A year later the Pyrmont Bridge was acquired by the government and rebuilt, with an electric swing span arm that is still in working order today – another sign of the extent of the revolution of Pyrmont.

Daniel Harrison came into the Shenandoah Valley from Delaware in 1737 with his entire family. Daniel Harrison moved in 1745 to the area of Cook’s Creek and right around 1748 built a stone house on a rise above Cooks Creek.

About ten miles to the south in Cabarrus County (then part of Mecklenburg County until 1792), was another German settlement, established in the early 1740s. It lay about two miles north of the Town of Mount Pleasant on Dutch Buffalo Creek (now called Big Buffalo Creek). Like their kinsmen in Rowan County, the settlers were Lutheran and German Reformed, and they built a log meeting house and schoolhouse in order to provide for instruction of their children in the fundamentals of the Bible and Christian faith, and a basic education in reading, writing and arithmetic. The two groups used the “Dutch Buffalo Meeting House” for about thirty years and then separated. The Lutherans relocated near where St. John’s Lutheran Church now stands in Concord,

     Can it be said that Henchard's downfall is all due to 'some great error?' Some may believe that it is a penance for selling Susan, but this would be to take Newson out of the equation, who, it must be said, is just as guilty of this act as Henchard. I believe that Henchard is totally blameless for his downfall, to use a bad pun that will become apparent later, it is in his nature. It is my belief that Henchard is a personification of nature. It is obvious that his life has completed a revolution but when you look closely, you can see that Henchard's life resembles the seasons.
