Inspector Li And Ah Jong

This is made evident in the quote “I can hear them shouting: Red Rat! Fucking Red Rat!...He’s (Charlie’s father) stepping between them and An Lu.” The phrase “Red Rat! Fucking Red Rat” shows the racial abuse targeted at An Lu and his family because they are of a different ethnicity. They are word red is used to signify that the attackers associate the Lu family as communists as currently there is a war in Vietnam against a communist party. This racial attack is an act of injustice and at the time of the attack the police were nowhere to be seen, forcing the civilians to take the law into their own hands and fight for justice. This is shown in the phrase “He’s (Charlie’s father) stepping between them and An Lu." With the absence of the law civilians like Charlie’s father must intervene in the name of justice as the law will not do so. This shows how ineffective the law is in Corrigan when it comes to protecting its people and fighting for justice, forcing the civilians to fight for their own justice as the law will not. For justice to prevail, civilians must take matters into their own hands as the absence of the law will only allow acts of injustice to wreak

Although Iris Chang’s book provides meaningful details and thoughtful interviews about the Nanking massacre, many argue that her book is seriously flawed. Donald Zagoria asserted, “Chang’s account, based on extensive interviews with survivors and newly discovered documents, is utterly compelling yet, at the same time, in places unbearable to read” (Zagoria 163). The novel is full of good intentions from Chang, but is also full of misinformation and harebrained explanations. Joshua Fogel suggested, “The book begins to fall apart when she tries to explain why such a horror took place. Part of the problem is her lack of training as a historian and part is the book’s dual

For my shot analysis I chose a shot from the Spike Lee Movie Do the Right Thing. This is the second shot following the climactic riot scene. It features Da’ Mayor and Mother Sister reacting to the hellacious events of the previous night. The block was just devastated by a melee that broke out because the police killed Radio Raheem after he and Sal got in an altercation that was triggered by the volume of Radio Raheem’s boom box. Though at a very superficial level the fight was about the loud stereo, the real significance of the fight had more to do with the culmination of anger and tension between the characters of the film caused by prejudice and ignorance. This paper will analyze

The main themes in this novel are family and friendship. For Liang it is the monkey man, for Jung it is Frank Yuen, and for Sekky it is his grandmother. For Chinese-Canadians in the 1930s and 40s, family is more than blood ties, close

Chapter seven is titled "the Naked Truth" and it tells about how Lac tried to hide the ugly truth of stealing from his own family to finance his friend's video game competition. Lac talks about his desire to be accepted by the likes of Javi in school. Javi is in competition with a man named Tucker on who can score better in the Spy Hunter game. Lac first starts stealing food stamps given by the government and sells them for cheap. He even coaxes a fourteen-year old girl to give him seven dollars by allowing her to touch his erected penis. But later he starts stealing outright from the family's "college fund." He is finally caught and his father savagely beats him and humiliates. Lac here is trying to explain the difficulty of fitting into American society for a Vietnamese like him and also how immaturity of childhood may lead to such horrible acts. Lac is so honest about everything he did that at the end it is hard to say whether he deserved the brutal beating at the hands of Pa or if it was too much. It certainly was too much because anger took control of Pa for a moment but what Lac did was also absolutely horrible.

The correctional officer chose to become whistle Blowers after the death of inmate Preston Tate, and after the other officer said that he was the attacker in this situation. However, the correctional officers main allegations was of “brutality that the correctional officer were exploiting racial tensions to stage fights between inmates for entertainment of the prison guards (Holding, 2009)”. The prison tape shows all of this illegal behavior going on, and the two whistle blower watch other officer cohorts their coworkers in how to alter their reports to make it justifiable for the shooting that took place in the recreation yards.

Analysis: An underlying theme of doctors and those working alongside to help and wrongfully protect each other from the law has constantly been developed through the story and this is just another example. Dr. Chen sees himself as superior to those around him, hoping that his position will get him out of trouble to avoid punishment, while the truck driver will be charged. This builds on Chen’s ego and he feels invincible from legal punishments- which he very well may be. This provokes thoughts surrounding how police officers may work with bias- and abuse their power and titles for their own benefit.

The issue of police brutality is an important issue in any society, and so is public health. Mr. Chiu, even as a proud academic, disregards all his education and knowledge on the subjects and proceeds to intentionally infect the local eateries with his untreated disease. “As if dying of hunger, Mr. Chiu dragged his lawyer from restaurant to restaurant near the police station, but at each place he ordered no more than two bowls of food. Fenjin wondered why his teacher wouldn't stay at one place and eat his fill. Mr. Chiu bought noodles, wonton, eight-grain porridge, and chicken soup, respectively, at four restaurants. While eating, he kept saying through his teeth, "If only I could kill all the bastards!” (Ha Jin, Saboteur) Even his lawyer was confused and surprised at his dark pucker covered and jaundiced face and strange behavior. Mr. Chiu might have started as an innocent

For years police corruption has been a major problem in American society but where is the line between moral and unethical police corruption, many modern movies address this vary issue. Some films portray how types of police corruption can have a positive influence on society, while others show the dark side of police corruption. Many law enforcement agents join the criminal justice with the basic idea of "justice for all," however, most of them do not realize that the nice guy doesn't always win. Even though there are vast amounts of movies which specifically address police corruption we will use three main movies for our argument today, mostly LA Confidential, however, also Training Day.

After overcoming the challenges that Huang Taitai and others put in the way of Lindo, Lindo is able to move to America and live a new life where she poured love and affection into her daughter, Waverly. Realizing that Waverly would never understand the sacrifices of happiness that her mother had to make in order to keep her family’s honor, Lindo did very little in order to teach Waverly this sense of honor. Lindo gave Waverly her slice of freedom to help her the most out of her life and to prevent Waverly from doing what her mother had to do. This makes Lindo Jong a perfect example of what Joseph Campbell classifies as a

In the book The Quiet American Phoung, the beautiful Vietnamese girl caught in a love triangle with an American spy and a war correspondent, is seen as a commodity, something to be bartered, without actually taking her feelings into consideration. She is treated as a delicate victim who needs saving by the men in the book but although it seems like Greene is portraying Phuong as nothing more than an object, he means for her to represent much more than that. Greene’s portrayal of Phuong as an object represents the treatment of the Vietnamese people in the hands of the Americans. She is meant to be symbolic of her country, both men, American and British want to possess her, much like the war raging in Vietnam.

For the bulk of the mid- to late-20th Century, Eileen Chang’s name and literary prowess fell into obscurity as a result of events related to the Cultural Revolution and her own reclusion. In C.T. Hsia’s A History of Modern Chinese Fiction, he praised Chang for her use of "rich imagery" and "profound exploration of human nature.” In his book, he also claimed Chang to be “the best and most important writer” of mid-twentieth century China. Hsia’s remarks and Ang Lee’s film adaptation of her novella, Lust, Caution, have helped to bring Chang’s name back onto the literary scene.

In the next scene, the director chooses the telephoto lens to be able to take a shallow focus on the hands of the police are putting bullet into the gun, and camera pans left to right to show that there are many polices ready to shoot them if they do anything dangerously. Back to the girls, their panic and fearful faces were shown through a medium shot. Their faces now also partly reflect the chaos in their thoughts. They still have not figured out why so many policemen came to arrest them. Perhaps, they knew that murder fled was a serious crime but they probably never thought that they the police side needs a large force as an army to capture two girls.
