My Lawn Scene

How would you feel if you knew you were standing on soil where thousands of bloody bodies were buried underneath? How would you feel thinking about the fact that humans left their carcasses to decompose on the earth, leaving grass and Mother Nature to cover up the mess? This issue is discussed from the grass’s point of view in a poem written at the end of the atrocious Civil War and WWI, where many people were killed. Through the use of imperative tense verbs and the tension between first and third person pronouns, Carl Sandburg displays Grass’s obligatory feeling to cover up the mess created by inferior humans in his poem Grass.

With a long tracking shot, the viewers move behind the Germans’ shoulders depicted by the chiaroscuro of the shadows of the Germans overlooking the Americans being shot on Omaha Beach (Ray, 129). The setting is established with a desaturated color scheme to reflect the mood of the film as somber and dark. Spielberg utilized aerial perspective by creating the oceans in the background as hazier, reinforcing a deep space composition that illustrates the Americans will continue to struggle before reaching the enemy’s pillbox (Ray, 147). Furthermore, the size diminution of the Americans belittles the American’s efforts as the Germans are portrayed as larger than these small targets (Ray, 147). In addition, their size connotes their power as they tower over the Americans. Therefore, size diminution and the large distance effectively portrays the German’s point of view of the Americans as less than human and allows them to justify their killing, as it is not personal. The audience notes the vulnerability of the open space setting, thus sympathizing with the American soldiers. In addition, Spielberg utilizes the tracking shot between soldiers loading their weapons as a juxtaposition with what happens on the ground. The steady movement as the hand loads the gun emphasize how easy it is to hit their targets. Furthermore, the chiaroscuro and

The specialties of Bonnie & Clyde 1967 Based on our research and understanding, we found that the movie ‘Bonnie & Clyde’ by Arthur Penn was the first French film of new Hollywood era which dare to be open and presenting sex and violence yet a bit comedy element. The narration on the opening was different from other movie, the narration sounds “they are young, they are in love, they rob the bank… and they kill.” Based on the narration, audience can find out the genre of the movie is interesting with updated filmmaking techniques. It brings a hook to catch audience’s heart. Besides, Penn uses the special effect for the in car scene.

Moreover, in Gran Torino Walt is a Korean War veteran with prejudices towards other races and ethnicities. He isolates himself from others and has a disconnection with his family who are different from Walt’s more traditional way of life. Despite his loneliness and prejudices he lives in a predominately lower class Hmong neighborhood. The audience first sees Walt act out against his neighbors during the wake for his wife when a boy, Thao, asks to borrow jumper cables. Walt immediately lashes out at the boy purely for being part of the Hmong culture.

Some members of the Hmong family that live next door to Walt, and most of the Hmong characters are portrayed as people who are not able to care for or protect themselves and desperately need intervention. I was astonished to see that none of the Hmong characters in this movie appeared to rally the community to fight back against the gangs who terrorizes it. In addition, not one Hmong character attempted to take individual action to protect the community. In addition, the stereotyping of Asian Americans is evident and consistent, as the gang threatening the neighborhood are also Hmong but they were not represented as passive, quiet, and agreeable but as immoral criminals. I observed that most of the Hmong characters in the film were portrayed as weak and in need of protection, or as immoral criminals. In my opinion, most of the Hmong characters were shown as being powerless, dependent, and in need of a masculine father figure to protect them from their criminal counterparts. Walt was portrayed as possessing this characteristic which the Hmong characters

After Walt notices a Thao's injury that is caused by the gang, he figures out a way to protect Thao. He attacks a gang member as a warming of staying away from Thao. The gang performs a drive-by shooting on the Thao’s home as a revenge. Thao is injured; Sue is kidnaped and sexually assaulted. Walt vents his rage for the violent conflict by punching in the glass. Walt realizes he must figure out the best way to stop the violence at peace. Next day, Thao seeks Walt’s help to exact revenge, but Walt tells Thao to come back at four o’clock in the afternoon. When Thao comes back, Walt locks him in the basement. Walt visits the gang’s house again at night, but he stands in the street calling out all the gang members. He forms his hand as a fake gun and points to each gang member. He puts his hand to reach inner pocket of jacket, and then the gang shoot him. His body lies on the ground of a cross with a light on his hand. Police officers arrive and catch the gang. Life is a matter of choice, believe or not. Walt chooses to sacrifice his life to bring back the peace for his Asian

While the society in Solution Three falters in believing they understand and can control the precarious link between scientific advancement and the natural world, the characters in The Death of Grass rely heavily on scientific progress and their belief in national superiority. John suggests that the Chung-Li virus could have been eradicated in is early stages if only the Chinese had “let our people figure out a solution sooner”, introducing a blind faith in the link between politics and science (Christopher 19). As a figure representative of the government, civil servant Roger continues to strengthen this belief in the superiority of British scientists claiming: “The scientists have never failed us yet. We shall never really believe they will

As Thao and Walt’s relationship flourish, the representation and meaning of the flag changes as well. After Walt saved Thao from the Hmong gang, the family of Sue and Thao present Walt with gifts of appreciation. At first Walt is extremely angered by their gestures and throws it away. But after some time, and after he goes to the family party the flag is present when Walt is mowing his lawn and the Hmong’s are bringing more gifts. At this point in the movie, Walt has had an official growth and

Barefoot on the Lawn is an annual event that aims to raise money for Alpha Chi Omega’s national philanthropy, domestic violence awareness. At the time, I was apart of Alpha Chi Omega’s 2016 pledge class, so this was the first major event I would be attending. I was excited to help out with the event, give tours of our house to guests, and get to know my sisters a little more. In particular, I got to know a junior named Paige. She brought her golden retriever puppy along with her. As we were talking, she informed me that she participates in the guide dog foundation and that she was currently in the process of training her puppy.
