These statements included information on expenses on “statistics concerning the provinces and dependent kingdoms; direct and indirect taxation; as well as recurrent expenditures

The Real Deal: “American Gangster” “American Gangster” is based on the true story of Frank Lucas’ life.

Dan owns 70% of the company whereas Lucas owns 30%, which led Dan to ultimately decide the future of the company. Initial claims began in March 2015, when Lucas realized that his brother had paid himself excessively and indestructibly deprived Lucas of the minority-share holder rights (Axelrod, 2015).

The essay I am analyzing is entitled simply as “13, 1977, 21” by Jonathan Lethem. It’s personal narrative that is a retelling of the author’s childhood and it starts with Lethem confessing that he saw the original Star Wars movie twenty-one times in one summer when he was thirteen years old.

has seen something related to Star Wars. It has been a huge success. It grew from a movie into a mass cultural phenomenon. George Lucas and Disney have been able to do something with Star Wars that few, if any movies, have been able to do. Using traditional myth making techniques, cutting edge cinematic technology, and a massive merchandizing department, George Lucas and now Disney, have successfully made certain philosophical, psychological, and quasi-religious ideas palatable and universal for

the saga, specifically A New Hope and The Phantom Menace by George Lucas. Ironic themes exist in the saga in the likes of an oppressive government, the horrid results of such governments, a strong presence of theology—all which demonstrates parallelism of real life; borrowing from some of history’s most notable governments, events, and theologies.
