Citizen Kane

Exploring the similarities and differences in two poems, W. H. Auden’s “The Unknown Citizen” and Edwin Arlington Robinson’s “Richard Cory”, is done to demonstrate how both author’s subjects are assumed to be happy, yet each is isolated in a unique way. The poems individually present external facts about each character, and the authors use the different narrators in the poems to illustrate the viewpoint of someone slightly removed. This characterizes the separation between the protagonists and…

“Citizen Khan” written by Kathryn Schulz describes the struggle of immigration in the early 1900’s and attempts to decipher what it truly means to be American by turning the spotlight on a popular Afghan immigrant turned Mexican food vendor, Zarif Khan.

Southern Values in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof "The weight of Southern history, the power of social and racial divisions and its rituals and taboos often make self-determination and moral choice unachievable" (King). This statement from Kimball King perfectly summarizes the point Tennessee Williams strove to exemplify in many of his works. Thomas Lanier Williams, better known as Tennessee Williams, was born on March 26, 1911 in Columbus Mississippi. He spent the first seven years of his life in…

than a coworker in the same position, then the hardest worker should receive the greater compensation. Equality prevents a singular section of society from dominating other sections. Without equality the individuals that are treated as second class citizens will revolt against their current society.…

Orphan Trains The main point of the documentary on orphan trains is child welfare and the method that was used in 1859 where children from an urban city that were homeless and poor were gathered up and put in homes and the idea of Charles Lauren Brace was to put them on a train and find good farming Christian families from the western states to raise these children. Some of the misconceptions that were faced with this idea was that the child will be better off in the homes that they are placed…

Much like Arnold Schwarzenegger's character in the movie 'Twins', the walkie-talkie can claim to have many fathers. However, one of the most prominent names in the debate (and maybe the one with the single strongest claim to having invented the walkie-talkie) is Canadian/American inventor Al Gross. The son of Romanian immigrants, Al Gross was born in Toronto, Canada in 1918, but his parents moved to Cleveland, Ohio, USA when he was quite young. Whilst on a steamboat trip across Lake Erie, the…

Law Abiding Citizen does not shy away from either displaying some harsh justice or hinting at it strongly enough to let the audiences imagine blood spill…

Curley’s wife is presented as a provocative young woman, described as a “tart”, who is seen as a danger to the men as she is married and if they are caught having a relationship with her they will be “canned”. We first meet her character in the men’s bunk house. She is described as dressed in all red, with “rouged lips”, “red mules” and “red ostrich feathers”, the colour symbolism of the colour red adds to the idea that she’s a danger to the men. She is described as having a teasing personality…

Palestinians and Israeli people have been in a conflict for over 70 years over land. Many politicians have been searching for answers to the conflict, with the most prominent ‘solution’ being called the two-state solution. The two-state solution is the idea the Israel and Palestine are going to sign peace treaties and split the land they’ve been fighting each other for in half. The idea of Palestine and Israel getting along is strange, considering that while Palestinians don’t hate Israeli…
