Most alarmingly, Holmes includes several examples of how health care professionals implicit and explicit bias against the migrants affects the medical care that they receive when they go to the clinic or hospital for treatment.…

    When it comes to the technical aspects of Dr. Strangelove, no two are more important than the sound/music and the framing. The music and sound included in the film play an incredibly important role in guiding the audience from scene to scene and signaling shifts in mood as well as increases/decreases in tension. For example, each time that Major Kong and his men on the B-52 are reintroduced, the patriotic theme (the tune of which is a play on When Johnny Comes Marching Home Again) aptly named Bomb Run is played. Also, at the very end of the film, clips of the doomsday bomb exploding are played alongside Vera Lynn’s…

The intrigue for these monsters comes not from the scares they provide, but rather how they mirror the lives of people across the world. Through his essay, My Zombie, Myself, Chuck Klosterman is able to effectively utilize allusions, anecdotes, and figurative language while exploring how the image of the zombie is embedded into society in order to illustrate how the lives of people in reality is not that far from the lives of those in the midst of the…

    Where did our twenty-first century incarnations of the zombie come from, and how did they develop as time elapsed? James Parker’s “Our Zombies, Ourselves” discusses several of the past and present zombies, their stereotypical designs, and how different medias portray society’s definition of a zombie. One of the first subjects Parker covers is that of society’s preconception of the undead. We, and apparently everyone else dating back to the early 1900s, imagine the zombie as abysmally lethargic, with greyed skin, mutilated limbs, and an unending desire to consume living flesh. Parker regales the reader with a tale of the zombie’s evolution through poetry, books, movies, television, and even songs.…
