Everybody at some point in their life feels as though they are not ‘free.’ I have chosen to look into the theme of “The self expression of freedom.” This theme links to us as the viewers in the real world as it shows how there is importance with being able to express need for freedom as it is a main aspect of life today, being able to have your own expression of this is vital to one's life in the present day. I have found this theme evident in the films and or novels: The Truman show, Directed…

Alfred Hitchcock’s 1958 film Vertigo is now considered by the American Film Institute to be the best film of all time. With that title comes some flack for “beating” out all of the other films that come out ever. Obviously this title is subjective and doesn’t make the film anymore better or meaningful than it previously was, but the backlash from film critics are kind of ironic being about Vertigo. People are writing article after article and blog post after blog post about how Vertigo doesn’t…

If audiences choose to dig deeper, there are multiple meanings that can be drawn from the storyline. Its most noticeable theme is established immediately with the film’s opening quotation, “The rush of battle is a potent and often…

One time she was embarrassed, was when her family was licking the ends of their spoons in front of the minister family. She was embarrassed because most families in america have good table manners. Her family did not have the same table manners as the minsters family. The minister…

Leibniz’s philosophy is useless…. perhaps even a hindrance at times. In his book, Theodicy: Essays on the Goodness of God, the Freedom of Man, and the Origin of Evil, Leibniz discusses the idea that we live in the “best of all possible worlds”. Because God would have chosen to create the best of all possible universes. In his Discourse on Metaphysics, Leibniz explains that God “acts in the most perfect manner”. In Leibniz’s La Monadologie, He states that the number of possible universes in…

I like that mention how at times Syncletica probably felt lonely without family or support from others and may have thought about returning home. This isn’t something I’ve ever thought about but it makes a lot of sense. Everyone goes through hard times and, being in the situation that she was in, I’m sure it was no different for Syncletica. I’m sure that religion and the intense devotion she felt for it was a huge part of what pushed her through the hard times and made her stay. I find it really…
