my sophomore year or junior year of high school. Normally I am not a fan of black and white films but this is one of the few I can stand to watch. Also watching it a second time I had different reactions then I did the first go round. Like how did Henry Fonda have the courage to stand alone all by himself when everyone else in the room was against him. Me personally I probably would’ve given in and just agreed.

Lumet's first and arguably best feature has entered into the annals of film history and has been picked apart ad nauseum by critics, industry professionals and academics alike. Twelve men walk into a jury room eleven say guilty, the one played by Henry Fonda says not guilty; etc. etc. There is a reason for this however; not the least of which is the films enduring timelessness made all the more impressive by its subject matter.

As right on time as 1906 Henry Ford had gained 58.5 percent of the organization's stock; and, when alternate investors shied away from building the goliath (and costly) River Rouge plant in Dearborn, he got them out; Edsel Ford (1893– 1943) moved toward becoming president (1919). On Edsel's passing in 1943, Henry Ford came back to the administration, yet in 1945 he turned it over to his grandson, Henry Ford II, who revamped the organization's tangled arrangement of budgetary administration and revitalized
Written by American writer Henry James in 1878, the novella “Daisy Miller” delineates the story of a young American girl Daisy Miller narrated by Winterbourne, a young compatriot of hers who has spent most of his life in Geneva. Henry, along with other characters in the novel, condemns Daisy’s boldness and defiance. He often describes Daisy as seductress who is trying to trap Winterbourne. However, feminist interpretation of the novel brings forth Daisy as a heroine who represents first generation
Crank is a phenomenal book written by Ellen Hopkins; with the main theme of drugs and alcohol. This book was written for primarily young adults. Crank is about a young girl trying to find who she really is; and what she really wants out of life.

by Henry James is a rather simple story when viewing solely the external plot. The governess charged with looking out for two children takes care of the children, but as the story progresses her behavior becomes more and more strange and eventually culminates in her inadvertently killing one of the children. However, practically all of the major plot points involve the governess’s internal state—her descent into insanity. The slow decline of the governess’s mind is carefully crafted by Henry James
The idea that everyone needs love, compassion, and the feeling of belonging prescribes to everyone. Everyone needs a family. Even ghosts. In the stories, novels, and poems that we have discussed in class, the ghosts are attached to family or to a specific loved one. Michael Newton tells us that this is true for all ghost stories. In Beloved by Tori Morrison, Beloved comes back to be with her family and to make a connection with her family. In The Readjustment by Mary Austin Emma Jeffries had come
