Men in Black and Star Wars the Phantom Menace as Science Fiction Both of these films contain ideas of war and peace, whether it is the threat of invasion or the protection of land and values; also there is an element of power that is exerted between two sides disrupting the peace and the balance of the universe. Secrecy is added to indicate that not everything should be available for all to see. Conformity is a key theme

The novel Schindler’s List written by Thomas Keneally and the film recreated by the award winning director Steven Spielberg is known to be one of the most “amazing portrayals of the Holocaust” (Marks and Torry). Many stated that when the novel was written, “Thomas Kineally wrote something much more powerful than just a biography, not only did he tell the story of a great Holocaust hero, but also at the same time it described dreadful horrors of World War II” (Marks and Torry). The story of Schindler’s

The Killing of Mr. Evan Meares It was the midst of day, June 30, 20--; an ill-pleasuring mess had been proposed to the police of Detroit. The corpse of an old, clumsy, joke of a gentlemen, found covered in newspaper dumped into a dumpster. The corpse was dismantled, mangled, and at the same time of many other killings. The detective, Ms. Liu, immediately concluded the cause of death and the murder weapon. Mr. Meares, few liked this man, as he was a perfect example of a peasant; no wonder one would

Our movie appreciation class has crossed off a plethora of films off my viewing bucket list. I am often intrigued by what is considered “great” by critics and am always eager to find out whether I agree with them or ponder whether their sense of taste is impaired. I have travelled on both sides of the spectrum and can honestly say that some movies I’ve viewed are blatantly awful while others cannot be denied of their superiority. In either case I am appreciative of the opportunity to be acquainted

In 1887, one year prior to Eugene O’Neill’s birth, the first vote on women’s suffrage is taken in the Senate and fails. (Scholastic). In 1955, the year following O’Neill’s death, a woman, Rosa Parks, became the symbol for the civil rights movement. While these two events can seem unrelated, they frame the time in which Eugene O’Neill lived where the structure of gender roles in society experienced radical changes.

To meet this demand, the Asheville Police Department will be adopting the use of Tasers. Though Tasers are potentially lethal, they can be used more safely that a handgun, yet are more incapacitating than chemical spray. The use of Tasers will be explained with training as technology and laws progress. The most important thing is that the use of Tasers always

Liam even claimed to be the reincarnated soul of John Lennon, though his brother often pointed out its chronological impossibility. Though some of these facts seem important when music was concerned, they took a back seat in the tabloids to stories of alcohol and drug use, egotism, bad-mannered interviews, general rudeness, and various scuffs with the law, which include investigations of assault on a female member of the British Airways staff by Liam earlier this year (“In
