This gave women a chance "to demonstrate their intelligence and education," and "to picture themselves

carjacker will one day meet his doom; the superhero will defeat the evil villain. Simply, in some circumstances, this is not entirely true. Good does not always prevail over evil. This is exceptionally true in the movie No Country for Old Men by the Coen brothers. The dominant theme in the Coen brother’s movie is evil. The movie No Country for Old Men is based on a book by Cormac McCarthy. According to Lan Buckwalter, “McCarthy's bloody and beautiful novel comes to life under

However, this story is not entirely true; the Brother's Grimm modified the story slightly to save the poor prince some embarrassment.

In the book 1984, one of the three slogans of the Party is “War is Peace”. This statement, along with the others, seems paradoxical; however, it becomes evident that this statement is actually true. In 1984, George Orwell writes that “War is Peace” to show that “war” with other nations creates peace within the nation. In Winston Smith’s world, three superstates dominate the majority of the world. These superstates appear to be at constant war with each other; however, Orwell writes, as a part of

A society cannot survive when it is based on hate and power gain. I agree with Winston, that if a society was founded on hatred and complete control “It would commit suicide”. In order for a society to prosper it needs all of the things that are not present in the world of 1984.
