Crafting a masterful anime is similar to cultivating a delicate flower, it requires a willingness to accept circumstances the way they are, and not the way we wish them to be. Lithops, a flower with a low dependence on water, can have their skins burst if they are oversaturated with excess liquids. In the same breath, an anime that strives for over-the-top action sequences (e.g. run-of-the-mill Shounen anime) but neglects the political, economic, and social struggles that accompany those events, falsely establishes a dichotomous situation that rarely, if ever, exists. The original Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu (Legend of the Galactic Heroes) understood these concepts extremely well, taking every opportunity it could to flesh out characters, explore pertinent historical events, and question the role(s) of government and its people. If it were required to sum up the original series in one-word, it would be: methodical. Nothing ever felt rushed, hurried, or crammed down our throats. Everything blossomed from the seeds of past events. And while the outcomes may, or may not, have been what we had expected, it all blended into a larger political narrative that is relevant today, and, I …show more content…
It started by retelling the history of Rudolf Goldenbaum and the birth of the Free Planets Alliance; however, the episode only dedicated two minutes to the documentary-styled recap of the war between the two powerhouses. In the original series, an entire episode was dedicated towards this recap, and it occurred much later on. Not saying that I did not enjoy the presentation of the material in this manner, but it felt like the meticulous gradualness of the original series might be interchanged for a more robust-paced narrative in the The New Thesis. Luckily, this was not the case. As the series seems to have found its rightful mode of delivery: languid
I love that the story starts with suspense as to what was happening with Daniel Burnham’s friend, Francis Millet. While reading a book involving history, the reader has a benefit that the characters in the story do not: the reader knows what happens before the characters do.
The Luhrmann version opens with the prologue being read by a newsreader on a miniscule television screen. This immediately suggests to the audience that the film is going to be situated in the 20th century. This also tells the audience that this whole affair is a big event - the main fact being that it's a
In unbroken it starts off by setting the stage with events that are happening during this time period. It is all about how you start a book if you cannot get your audience’s attention right off the bat then they will never truly get into the book. IN the introduction it
The film starts out with Clayton Hammond reading his new novel to an audience. As mentioned earlier, his novel starts with
Life Changes of Americans in the 1920's In the 1920's many American lives were improved greatly, but some lives were as bad as they had been before. The economy was booming, with cars being mass produced, and many other consumer goods such as radios, were widely available. Also more jobs became available, and many people recieved a par rise. However there were bad things such as racism about.
The storyline jumps from one storyline to the next and presented in nonchronological order. Tarantino gives us bits and pieces of one story then jumps to another. This style of narrative is unusual. Ultimately, the whole story comes full circle. The opening scene ends where the scene began. We see the conclusion of the robbery and how it connects to the film.
The film begins with a rant between the characters on stage with little relation to the topic of the film. It does provide a better understanding to the viewer that these characters are going to disagree on the topic that follows. This diatribe between characters also reveals their political stance, which is very important when understanding the upcoming criticism. After the opening rant is completed the audience should be informed that on stage there is a liberalist, conservative, moderator, and a news anchor, Will McAvoy.

At the beginning of the movie we are shown an opening sequence introducing the main characters in the movie. We are briefly introduced to each character’s situation and the goals they are trying to achieve but we soon
Cultural structures are often very complex and unique guidelines that vary across the globe. These cultural aspects provide a prominent background into the lives of each society respectfully, as seen often throughout the historic piece of literature, The Tale of Genji. Three crucial aspects depicted in the novel’s progression are the role of women, Buddhism, and the political configuration, each containing positive and negative attributes prevalent in the tale. China was a powerful nation at the time, and during this age, these three societal concepts were important, yet controversial at times. These concepts can all be related directly back to the central character, Genji, along with the other vital people who, not
One of the boys killed his own father for a piece of the bread, then ended up getting killed himself by another man for the same piece of bread. The german workers were so interested and entertained by it, that it encouraged them to continue throwing bread at them. This relates to the theme loss of humanity because it shows how much the environment the men were in was causing them to change and become dehumanized. They were treated like they were animals and their circumstances caused them to act like it. This connects back to the thesis because it showed that the germans felt in control of the men, they purposely treated them like that for their own entertainment, knowing how they would react.
This has been a post I’ve been meaning to write for a long time. I’m an absolutely die-hard fan of Sailor Moon, and part of that is because it served as my childhood introduction to feminism. That might be a little bit hard to believe, considering the super heroines of the show are known for outfits not much more revealing than Wonder Woman’s. Silly outfits aside (you get used to them), this show was absolutely groundbreaking. Its protagonists are 10 realistically flawed, individual and talented teenage girls (and women) who, oh, you know. Save the world.
ou make your point very clear and give great information from the textbook to support it. I agree with you that it should be conceptualized as a behavior. You are right that traits are considered to be antecedent conditions, as Northouse (2016) explains "As in any leadership situation, the qualities and disposition of the leader influence the servant leadership process. Individuals bring their own traits and ideas about leading to leadership situations." (pg. 232), this means that while traits are part of a leader, the characteristics that make a servant leader come from behaviors that are learned and change throughout life. For example, servant leaders have a strong moral behavior, it is not a trait, but something that is learned and change
In 1920 when alcohol prohibition began the war against cannabis had been going strong for a decade. In 1910 the Mexican Revolution created a surplus of Mexican immigrants in the United States; American citizens were frightened by the Mexican culture, including their recreational use of cannabis (Marijuana Legalization, 2015, para 7). Politicians continued to use fear and racism to grow disapproval and hatred of cannabis. Beginning in 1915 twenty-nine states passed the anti-marijuana law, which was first created and passed by the state of Utah when a group of Mormons who were visiting Mexico returned home with cannabis (Marijuana Legalization, 2015, para 9). The prohibition of cannabis
