Snow White And The Huntsman Winter's War

Washington Irving, is the author of the tale “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow,” that was written in the nineteenth century (Baym 25). Irving was born in New York City on April 3rd, 1783 and was the last of eleven children. At home, Irving read a wide range of English literature and delighted in many other writers, including Shakespeare, Oliver Goldsmith, and Laurence Sterne. In 1830 Irving bought and began refurbishing a house along the Hudson River near Tarrytown (Baym 25). The beginning of Irving’s tale opens up with the description of the charming Hudson Valley region of Sleepy Hollow near Tarrytown. “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow” represents a popular tale in Irving’s book, The Sketch Book (Baym 25). It’s ghostly tale that talks about a mysterious Headless Horseman that is said to be a Hessian trooper who lost his head by a cannon ball during battle. It is said that every night the Headless Horseman roams the countryside in search of his head. There is an unlikely hero in this tale named Ichabod Crane, but to the people of Sleepy Hollow the real hero is Brom Bones.

Capitalism can be defined as “when monetary wealth was enabled to buy labor power” (Wolf et al. 77). By the time that “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow” was written, Capitalism was the dominant mode of production, and capitalist markets were spreading rapidly. This became especially true in the United States of America, which was heavily influenced by the British in matters of economy. Since capitalism was born in England, the influence of capitalism bled over into America while they were still under British rule (Wolf et al. 2670). However, by 1820, the year that “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow” was published, the United States fully adopted the capitalist mode of production, along with the technological advances of the Industrial Revolution. This embrace of the new economic system changed the ways of life for people in both New England and New York, along with the entirety of the country.

Washington Irving wrote “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow” in 1820. It tells the story of a man named Ichabod Crane, a schoolmaster who persistently frightens himself with supernatural beings he supposes he sees and hears on his way home from school. Later in the story, Crane threatens to take away the love of a lady from a man named Abraham Van Brunt. This man, known as Brom Bones to the townspeople, took advantage of Ichabod Crane’s credulousness to scare him out of town through a prank in which he impersonated the dreaded Headless Horseman, the ghost of Sleepy Hollow. This caused Ichabod to flee town out of terror. Ichabod Crane’s characteristics of superstition, greed, and fearfulness ended up causing his downfall.

The movie poster that I have chosen is Maleficent, produced by Walt Disney and is released in year 2014. Movie poster is very important as it is considered as an advertisement for a particular movie. With containing the powerful visual elements of the movie such as the famous actors, movie title and attractive image, it can easily grab the audience’s attention.

This poster looks the way it does because it seems to glorify war with many hot colors (red, orange and yellow) and being an exceptional warrior. The people in the background seem to be in pain and dying. There also appear to be rather large explosions in the background. It shows a courageous and powerful woman wearing an armor and having two swords on her both hands. This thing is indicating an incredible woman who have many monsters behind her, and she walks through them. It means that she killed the monsters, overcame her challenges, and destroyed the war to protect the world and maintain the piece. The poster also shows that the movie with a supper woman will be coming soon because the poster has ‘COMING SOON’ is bold and and capital with

Kurt Vonnegut conveys the theme of imbecility, mainly through war, and how it may cause the deterioration of individuals’ well-beings oftentimes leading to societal pressures and corruption. In chapter 1, the narrator elucidates to a conversation in the past with Harrison Starr, the movie icon, who makes a profound statement about conflict and the narrator’s profession: writing. Vonnegut employs a metaphor to express how hindering wars will always remain as an impossibility since it exists as a part of human nature and emotions. This compares to halting a glacier’s path since one person cannot make even the slightest of impacts in a lifetime, no matter how rigorously they try. Furthermore, the metaphorical comparison between wars and

Die Hard’s poster is successful due to the contrast of the dark, black and white image with the red title of the film. Furthermore, the man’s eye and the lights point toward the building, causing convergence. In addition, the building also works through convergence by pointing to the red title at the bottom of the image. Arguably, the description given for the film at the side helps explain a bit of the film’s plot and helps a viewer decide if they would like to watch it.

Famous political philosopher William Godwin once stated, “No man knows the value of innocence and integrity but he who has lost them” (qtd. in “William Godwin Quotes”). Both To Kill a Mockingbird and Night involve the main characters losing their innocence after being exposed to prejudice and racism, major themes in both books. Elie Wiesel published Night, twelve years after the Holocaust, in 1960. This book, a memoir of the Holocaust, was written from the author’s point of view after their experiences in the horrific time. In Night, Elie, a young boy, loses his innocence after staying in several concentration camps, and being exposed to murder, prejudice, and sadism. Throughout the book, Elie experiences traumatic events, such as

The great debate of whether the world will end in a fiery ball of destruction or a frozen wasteland has baffled the minds of many people. A man named Robert Frost has written a poem called "Fire and Ice" that describes his thoughts on how he would prefer to leave this world. Upon reading this poem, the reader can derive two distinct meanings of fire and ice; one being of actual fire and ice destroying the world, and the other having symbols for the fire and ice, such as fire being desire or passion and ice being hatred and deceit. Although this poem is one of his shortest poems with only nine lines, it is also one of the most famous works that he has ever created.
