Old Yeller By Fred Gipson

The two pieces I would be talking about are “Rapunzel” and “Tiempo”. While writing “ Rapunzel” I was inspired by a different poem, Rapunzel by Christine Hepper .Christine Hepper writes about fairy tales and teenage girl side by side. I thought that by doing something similar to that would make a great poem. So I tried to explore Rapunzel and why she had to be saved by a prince and why she could save herself. During the revision process, you wrote that I should explore what would happen if Rapunzel was a person of color instead of white and if she cut her hair off. It was hard to find something to write about with that. However I tried to write about how important hair is to people of color and what would happen if it was all cut off. Also the

This was one of my favorite books during my childhood days. The book is a classic, and Disney later made it into a motion picture. the story’’s climax develops quickly by telling stories and adventures of a boy named Travis and his old stray yellow dog named Yeller.At the introduction of the book Travis is plowing corn in the garden when an old yellow darts bye and causes the mule to jump. He chases the dog out of the garden and curses at him. Then a few days later the stray dog ate some of the deer meat that was very important for the family’’s survival. Travis was very angered and threatened to kill the mischievious yellow dog, but his younger brother, Arliss, would not allow this.

African-Americans during the middle of the twentieth century were treated differently than those of the white population. Fences, a play by August Wilson, demonstrates the frustration of white dominance during a time when African-Americans were secluded from society. The Maxson family are the main characters of the play, showing the life they lived in their black tenement in Pittsburg in the 1950s. The setting demonstrates the drama of their struggle, frustration, rebellion, and the predicaments that unfold. Slavery has been eliminated from America for some time prior to the setting of this play, but it still shadows and presses upon the African-American community in Wilson’s play. August Wilson’s play Fences, shows the racial segregation and injustice displayed in America through out much of the middle of the twentieth century.

Swing Kids is a motion picture produced by Hollywood Studios and released on March 5, 1993. The movie follows the 1939 journey of two German teenagers through the “Hitlerjugend”, or Hitler Youth. Peter Muller (played by Robert Sean Leonard) and Thomas Berger (played by Christian Bale) are forced to choose between loyalty to their friends and family or loyalty to their country. The main focus of this movie is to display the way the Nazi party “brainwashed” their youth with propaganda. The movie conveys this very well. However, like most movies, this one also leaves the audience with some questions.

In Our Town, by Thornton Wilder, he invites his readers to consider the positive and negative qualities of life. He is able to convey his views and opinions on the human condition through his use of love and marriage. Wilder’s examination of self-conflict in the decision to marry suggests a pessimistic view on the human experience. Through the self-conflict of Emily and George, Wilder is able to confirm how marriage can be frightening and troubling.

In the poem “My Papa’s Waltz”, Theodore Roethke is telling a story about a drunk and abusive father waltzing throughout his house. The poem mostly takes place in what seems to be a kitchen because they mention pans and the kitchen shelf. The narrator of the story is believed to be the son who is of a very young age and could possibly be abused and manhandled by his father when he gets uncontrollably drunk and waltzes with him around the household. The narrator uses words that are usually paired with abusive situations like “battered” and beat”. As the poem goes along it seems as if the father gets more and more abusive. In stanza one, he is talking about how drunk the father gets. Throughout stanza two he talks about how he was a little too

Our Town, by Thornton Wilder (first staged in 1938), has proven to be one of the most popular and enduring American plays ever performed (VORK, 2017). For the first time in 1938, the play was performed for a live audience in Princeton, New Jersey (Weinbloom, 2006). The audience did not agree with Thornton Wilders vision for the play. He along with his play was criticized. Many individuals back then thought the play was a complete waste of talent for Mr. Wilder. Miraculously, when the play was performed in New York, the audience were very delighted with the performances in the play.

Finally Carl Hiaasen makes amazing book “Hoot” into a movie. The book comes to life with the help of the actors Logan Lerman played as Roy and Cody Linley played as Mullet Fingers. With the help of them and other amazing actors they make the movie funny and enjoyable.

Chester And Gus, by Cammie McGovern, is one of my new favorite books, and a definite page turner. This 241 page realistic fiction book, is told by Chester, in first person. Chester tells us about his life journey, and him training to be a special service dog for a little boy, Gus.

Run Lola Run (1998), directed by Tom Tykwer, is an intense, fast paced action film with a rather simplistic plot and unexpectedly deeper philosophical implications about fate, chance, time, choice, and consequence. Not a second in this movie is boring as it is as high paced as the title implies, both physically and mentally straining.

John Donne was a prominent metaphysical poet during the 17th Century. In his writings, we see paradoxes, ironies, and metaphors dominate the textual style, which intellectually challenges the reader. Good Friday, 1613. Riding Westward is no exception. In this paper, I will analyze Good Friday, 1613. Riding Westward’s as a poem that dramatizes the situation of the subject by exaggerating the imagery of the scene due to guilt from sin and his want to be able to turn his face back towards God. Specifically, I will draw from metaphors that illustrate this exaggeration of the subject’s situation.

Many advertisements want you to buy their product, but Oscar Mayer wants you to enjoy their product as you eat it. The founder Mr. Oscar F. Mayer moved from Germany to Detroit, MI, then later to Chicago, IL to open his German meat market, that was founded in 1883. He implemented and utilized so many tools to open the market, that he had to expand and have local events for his customers. Although many of these companies formulate so many strategies to attract their target audience, their ad can be very misleading.

Baden-Powell’s early twentieth century handbook, Scouting for Boys, contains hypocritical ideas in which express his clashing support for masculinity and femininity. Although he briefly mentions the role of women in scouting, he neglects to mention them again, all the while emitting an overwhelming vibe of male strength, power, and dominance. Baden-Powell implicitly articulates that to become a “real man,” one must avoid traditional feminine behavior, ultimately proving Judith Butler’s point, that female figures within the British Empire are labeled opposite of men because they rely on the help of male figures and lack traditional male
