Roles of Women on the Oregon Trail Part I: What I know Women didn’t have it very easy on the Oregon Trial. They had many chores/jobs they had to get done. And those jobs were no walk in the park. They were hard, laborious, and dirty jobs. They were also often “handed” these jobs. Women were often taken granted for. In the men’s minds, they were trivial, but that was far from true. If women hadn’t gone on the Oregon Trail, it probably wouldn’t have gotten that far. Women and girls play a big

Quinn Holmes Media 1 August 13, 2014 Black Women in Film: 1939-Present Day There are few arguments debating the impact the film industry has on society and its views.

Though in the past few years more black women have been given roles in mainstream films and have received critical acclaim for said roles, have we made any progress in the types of roles these women are

A Comparison of John Steinbeck's novel Of Mice and Men and the 1939 Film Version of the Novel Looking at the novel 'Of Mice and Men' by John Steinbeck there is the clear comparison that this is a print text, while the 1939 film version of the novel by Milestone is a visual text. There are many things that need to be taken into consideration when analysing a visual text, these being the use of camera angle, sound, lighting, editing and the mise en scène, whereas when looking

I prefer the 1939 film adaption of The Hound of the Baskervilles better than the 2002 film adaptation because it is more appropriate, and sticks to the novel. The 1939 film adaptation was less violent and definitely less gory. I personally don’t think that violence and gore are necessary in order to get the point across. The 1939 film adaptation, featuring Basil Rathbone as Holmes, was more suspenseful than the 2002 television movie. I feel like the definition “scary” of movies nowadays is because

The work that had the most successful from text-to-film adaptation was Of Mice and Men for several reasons that I will explain in detail. To begin with, the 1939 and 1992 films improved upon the original text by adding more depth to George’s character. He is not just a character who is easily frustrated and impatient with Lennie like in the book. The actors help make George more humane and likeable due to his treatment of Lennie. George in both film adaptations treats Lennie much better by either acting

The City is a 1939 documentary directed by Willard Van Dyke which was made for demonstrating on the World's Fair “The World of Tomorrow” (“Naxos Releases The City – 1939 World’s Fair Documentary Film with New Aaron Copland Score”). The movie demonstrates the difference between a rural life and an urban one. The creators do not stand against the city in general, but they do not support modern cities which are polluting he environment and make harm to the nature and human health. It is possibly to

(Dirks Tim) Talkies was a term used to describe films with sound. The 1930s was also the decade the brought in many new genres to the film scene.

Great Depression nothing was enough to permanently improve the hard situation, but the population of American found a way around the hard times. Hollywood films were being produced almost every week and many used this to their advantage; it provided a sense of serenity, a feeling that was not offered in their lives. Hollywood films during 1939 became a temporary escape for those struggling during The Great Depression, a tremendous fall in the US economy. The Great Depression was the greatest hit
