A federal court thought that the gas chamber execution was way too cruel, so the last use of the execution took place on March 3, 1999, when Walter LaGrand was executed in Arizona.

Thirty minutes of play of Zhang Yimou’s “Hero,” I watched two characters, Flying Snow with Moon, hanging blade to blade as if through mystical powers surrounded with spinning colorful leaves.

It is more similar to a swordplay pleasure (Harrison 570). This is the loveliest scene ever filmed and among the spectacles that the film…

At lunch we were all just laughing and having a good time and everything in life was going great.

Okonkwo was the last tie to the tribe’s traditional values. With Okonkwo hanging himself on a tree, I believe this symbolized the last part of their tradition dyeing prior to the white man taking completely over. Not only was killing himself a sign of defeat, but he was the only clansman left who held on to his beliefs and he…
