In the book Revolutionary Characters by Gordan Wood, the degree in which he portrays the personality and personal philosophies that informed the politics of these early American leaders, especially Thomas Jefferson, shows that contrary to popular belief that these men were not some unflawed perfect beings, but they are just like us with their many fears and insecurities. These flaws appear in all of the founding fathers and this adds a level of realism to them. It also shows that flaws are a part of human nature.

Superman: America’s Savior The name Superman encompasses the resonating factors that have contributed to Superman’s lasting cultural impact, the fact that he is able to be superhuman while retaining an undeniable sense of humanity. Since his first comic book appearance nearly 80 years ago Superman has been portrayed across many diverse platforms, in many forms, in many countries. For the purposes of this paper the focus will be on the 2006 film Superman Returns and the 2013 film Man of Steel, which being targeted for American audiences, present the characters through a lens of American values. In their respective films Superman Returns and Man of Steel, Brian Singer and Zack Snyder each present decidedly different versions of Superman, yet they are both ultimately guided by the theology that an American savior needs human characteristics.

At some point in the book Norman Bowker felt angry and very annoyed. The majority of the vets who have been in war demanded a parade, Mr. Bowker doesn’t agree he explains in a written letter “One thing i hate-really hate-is all those whiner-vets. Guys sniveling about how they didn't get any parades. Such absolute crap. I mean, who in his right mind wants a parade? Or getting his backed clapped by a bunch of patriotic idiots who don't know jack about what it feels like to kill people or get shot at or sleep in the rain or watch your buddy go down underneath the mud?Who needs it?” (O’Brien,1990,pg.156). He matures up and understands the meaning of life how it is important to live. How calling someone a soldier is offensive. He's been through

In 2013 the biopic of Simón Bolívar called "The Liberator", directed by Alberto Arvelo was created to demonstrate the liberation of Latin America during the 1800s as well as the various obstacles Simón Bolívar had overcome in order to free his country. "The Liberator" was an impactful film that truly demonstrated the hardships and inferiority of indigenous life due to Spain 's reign of dominance which drastically damaged the overall tone and development of many Latin Americans. Throughout the duration of the film, various themes such as inequality, nationalism, and liberalism were present during Bolívar 's war against the Spanish Empire; Bolívar 's ideals on the true destiny of man had both divided the country between patriots and royalists as well as sparking a revolution against the Spanish due to his disobedience. Simón Bolívar was a Venezuelan militaries and political leader known as "The Liberator" for his role in challenging the powerful Spanish Empire in order to establish independence and equality within Latin America. However, despite fighting for a noble cause and providing unity amongst the indigenous people of Latin America, Bolívar 's leadership was often questioned due to his determination to win liberty.

Superman is idolized from the time children are very young because he upholds the very ideal that people believe to be the ideal characteristic of humanity. Instances of humanity remind us of what

Despite this, Superman isn’t real; he’s flawless, too good. This makes for good media, but he isn’t truly a character that we can relate to, because we as humans are flawed. When I think of a flawed, troubled hero one of the first characters that comes to mind is Batman. Batman was set on the path of becoming a hero after experiencing a

During this semester’s course we have studied various styles of art throughout Europe, and what has intrigued me the most is Baroque art. Baroque, as we have studied it, is a period of artistic style that used exaggerated motion and clear, easily interpreted detail to produce drama, in sculpture, and painting. Baroque style began in Rome, Italy in the 1600s and quickly spread throughout Europe. The Baroque style was endorsed by the Roman Catholic Church, in their response to the Protestant Reformation. The Church encouraged artists to create works of art that would connect their audience intellectually and emotionally with religious themes. For my final visual analysis I have chosen Hero and Leander, by Peter Paul Rubens (Figure 1). Rubens created this oil on canvas painting between 1604 and 1605 in Lombardy, Italy. Ruben’s painting features Leander, a youth of Abydos, who used to swim across the waters at night to Sestos on the opposite side to meet his lover Hero, a priestess of Aphrodite. The painting measures 96 X 127 cm and is currently located in the Yale University Art Museum, in New Haven, Connecticut. (Early mythological paintings)

This paper is going to be more of a memoir, now that I think about it; to me, there’s only one way to write about being a big sister, and that involves going over multiple memories, from the beginning to the present. I hope that this is not deviating from the original assignment too much. To be fair, I have learned many lessons from my experiences, and I love talking about my stepbrother, so this paper is a win-win.

The Liberator, directed by Alberto Arvelo, is a historical biographical film documenting the life of Simon Bolivar and his struggle against the Spanish for equality in South America. Somewhat surprisingly, the cast is an incredibly gifted cast in comparison with other Latin American produced films with smaller budgets. Édgar Ramírez was the main actor who played the role of Simon Bolivar in the film. Erich Wildpret played the critical role of Antonio Jose de Sucre. This prominent general was murdered near the conclusion of the film. The third major character in the film was actress María Valverde. She played the supporting role of Maria Teresa Bolivar, Simon’s early wife (IMDB, The Liberator 2013).

After World War II Italy was in shambles, and the rural nation struggled to close the developmental gap between itself and other European nations. It was during this time, in 1948, that Luchino Visconti filmed La Terra Trema, or The Earth Trembles, on the island of Sicily. It was a critically acclaimed adaptation of I Malavoglia, or The House by the Medlar Tree, written by Giovanni Verga in 1881. Life on the island as depicted by Verga had barely changed in the approximate 70 years between the two works, and Visconti filmed in a true neorealist style, recruiting nonprofessional Sicilians to act out their own lives in their own native tongue. While Visconti’s political messages change the meaning of the story, he succeeds in capturing the never-ending struggle of the oppressed working class, and the futility of disjointed revolt.
