Crass

right-winged socialite named Joanne Herring. Together the main characters worked in formation to help covertly supply and arm Afghan rebels and eventually defeat the Soviet Union. The film starts out showing a little bit more of Charlie Wilson’s crass side as he sips champagne in a hot tub with naked women. Charlie seemed preoccupied with the news rather then paying much attention to the women or the movie pitch his friend was presenting. The news story that enthralled Charlie…

Click. Select. “Ava Grossmann” Type: click, click, click, click, click. “Clocked in at 3:27 pm” I Looked up. “Hi, Ava!” “Hey!” “What are you eating?” “A caramel roll, I made them last night”. “I’m surprised you made it to work, since I guess you had to leave the kitchen and the bedroom to make it here.” Stop. Look up. I asked, “how is that funny?” He replied, “Well, Ava you should know…” Stop. Snarky replies flashed across my mind. No. Smile. Turn-around. Walk-away. My…

Ryuwon is a realist since he has a pretty accurate outlook in life. He won't believe in a miracle, he doesn't believe that their situation has a truly happy ending, only a less worse one, and he knows what he is able to archieve and what would exceeding his capacies. He thinks rational, if there is anything he can do well, it's planning and plotting, considering all possible courses of events and having several plan b's in case his intial scheme doesn't work out. Because of his clinical approach…

also saw the other side of the Romantics and their pursuit of new creation. This desire often consumed them and led them away from their families like Victor. This pursuit once taken up drowns out the beauty of nature and replaces the sublime with a crass ambition to make something new. Shelley never says that appreciating nature is wrong, she actually positively portrays beauty through Clerval. But the desire to create new literature should never outweigh desire for one’s family. Because of her…

America 's entry to the Vietnam war was slow, but it soon became one of the bloodiest wars the country had ever seen. Troops were being deployed and lives were lost for reasons many found unclear. The war 's roots first started to develop in 1950 when the French, who were fighting for control of Indochina, began to deny the Vietnamese the privileges they were promised in exchange for French intervention. The Viet Minh, a communist group that fought control by the French and Japanese, were…

“I don’t think there is any truth. There are only points of view.” Allen Ginsberg’s famous quote is one that inspires the continued analysis and explication of poetry. Poetry is so important because much like jazz, it has a form all of its own. Poetry has no boundaries and can be created on the fly. And without the continued analysis and emphasis on great poetic works, like “Howl,” young writers would be dissuaded to take up the art form. To this day, scholars and students alike have…

American poet Billy Collins (born 1941) has worked to craft a poetic art that is accessible without being sentimental or crass. Named poet laureate of the United States in 2001, Collins became the public face of American poetry and embarked on an ambitious effort to insert poetry--not the teaching of poetry so much as the raw material of poems themselves--into American secondary schools. His own books have enjoyed a rare combination of popular and critical success, selling tens of thousands of…

Why is it that so many people say that Hobbes has a “negative” outlook when it comes to various things like human nature and government? I feel Hobbes sees man as he truly is. However, the only reason that people view it as negative is that it detracts from the rather rosy picture many try to paint humans to be. People don 't realize Hobbes accounts for the true nature of people and it shows in the way he frames governing. Right and wrong is a subjective guideline that changes from person to…

The majority of Trump’s speech consists of him talking down on Hillary Clinton and her campaign. He makes claims about how Hillary will only help those who donate to her campaign and he brings up the email scandals she was involved in, claiming that she is a dishonest person and cannot be trusted to run a country. Along with every claim he makes against Hillary Clinton, he has some claim to make about himself about how he will fix things or make them better than she ever would. Throughout…

A vast amount of change for all of the social classes happened during The French Revolution. In 1789 which is the beginning of the Revolution there were around 25,000 noble families (Beck). This was only about one percent of Frances population, but they were the wealthiest class and owned around twenty-five percent of all French land (Beck). Even though the nobles were the wealthiest estate their wealth varied greatly with the average income being 8,000 livres (Beck). The overall life of the…
