La Haine Review Essay

Music affects our emotions and has much to do with our everyday lives. Music has always and will be a part of my life. I would have to say that without music there is no life -- something is missing in our lives without music. If there were no music society we would only have people speaking to each other, and there would be no entertainment. The form of musical entertainment that I attended was the opera, La Boheme, composed by Giacommo Puccini and Libretto by Giuseppe and Luigi Illica. The opera took place at The New City Opera on November 10, 2001. La Boheme takes place in 1830, 19th century Paris around Christmas time. This opera tells the tragic love story of a young Bohemian, Rodolfo, who finds a love interest in

In addition, Dickens includes many anaphoras in his writing to describe how a female was seen as a form power instead of weakness. Firstly, the Revolutionaries’ mass murder weapon is described as “the sharp female called La Guillotine” in Dickens' writing (212). Throughout the novel, the personification of a female weapon is repeated to put emphasis on the new perception of the strength of women. The Guillotine is a merciless machine, killing many day after day, similar to how many women participated in the bloodshed that ensued.

Life in the suburbs of France is hard; this is shown in the film La Haine and Kiffe Kiffe Tomorrow. La Haine is a 1995 French film that was directed by Mathieu Kassovitz which outlines the struggle of living in the French suburbs. La Haine was translated into English means hate. The story revolves around three early twenty-year-olds named Hubert, Vinz, and Sayid from three very different immigrant families. Kiffe Kiffe Tomorrow was published in 2004 by Faiza Guene who was 19 at the time it was released. The novel is written from the voice of a young teenager named Doria. Doira lives with her mom in the suburbs of Paris as well. Her story is one of a single parent home with an immigrant family with Algerian descent. Both of these stories share the struggles of the immigrant life, and both of the writers wanted to shine the light on the issue. They both wrote about the immigrant experience so the French public and others around the world would see the struggle and hope to bring change to these conditions. I believe the Kiffe Kiffe Tomorrow is more effective in seeking change in the French suburbs due to its point of view, world choice and growth of characters.

Michael Miller’s book, The Bon Marché: Bourgeois Culture and the Department Store, 1869-1920, is an expansive and interesting look back on a era of Parisian history that is best represented by its then-current trend and social innovation, the department store.

The book gives an insight on the factors in which the store saw success, such as the management, the labor, and new marketing.
