Personal Narrative Hurricane George

Improved Essays
Made out of wedlock and just barely into marriage,
I arrived into this gloriously disastrous world on the lovely morning of September 28th, 1998.
A mistake so drastic that Hurricane George decide it was as good a time as any to rage through lil Mississippi.
Thousands of prisoners set free and six dead in a mudslide
Oh yes, this is the day of my birth.
Second in the line four plus two, I came out with a vengeance,
Blood spraying across a tasteful yellow blouse.
Eyes a dark brown; wide and full of nothing but hope and a sarcastic spirit to contrast,
I was a little girl who would one day have the joy of wanderlust in her heart.
I truly had no idea what the world had in store for naive mind.

    The Hurricane Movie Essay

    • 5 Pages

    Villains can be described in many ways; from a vigilante to a robber or a murderer, even corrupt officials. Archetypes which are defined only by their actions and brought together by the definition: a character whose evil actions or motives are important to the plot. “The Hurricane”, a biographical film directed by Norman Jewison tries to bring this to light, by detailing the life of late middleweight boxer Rubin “Hurricane” Carter. Imprisoned for a triple homicide in 1966, Norman Jewison uses location, lighting, costuming and screenplay to create a sense of hostility between a redeeming hero, a duplicitous villain and an unjust system. Using the true story of Carter’s mistreatment and the eventual triumph over adversity, the film demonstrates…
