Based off the book written by Chuck Palahniuk, Fight Club is a film directed by David Fincher. Fight Club is concerning two men who establish a secret boxing club. Eventually the club transforms into a group of men who create complete and total anarchy against the materialistic version of the world that is taking over a simple world they once knew. This film conveys the quest of men and their desire for masculinity, and turns it up a notch. Would it be possible to find feminist views in such…

The composition of David Wojnarowicz’s “When I Put My Hands on Your Body” fuses together a visual element with a literary element that must be considered together to fully interpret the piece. The background is a black and white reproduction of skeletons laid out on their rocky graves, yet Wojnarowicz has deliberately opted to obscure the image behind a wall of text. The foreground is composed of a blood-red text that encapsulates the narrative of “When I Put My Hands on Your Body.” The color of…

Most people are confused about the differences between lyrics and poems. Poems are outlined to be silent or aloud, on the other hand lyrics are mapped out to go along with music. Poems, unlike lyrics, can be misunderstood and read without a sound, however lyrics normally need accompanying music to be understood in the correct way. If you lay out the lyrics of Pink Floyd 's song "Time" without the accompanying music, many questions and observations come to mind. One of which why is there no…

Serial Killers: Born or Bred to Kill? Criminals like Charles Manson can attribute their sadistic nature from a childhood of neglect and abuse, whereas serial killers like David Berkowitz – who grew up in a healthy, supportive family – have no justifiable reason for their actions, other than their own desire to kill. Unfortunately, both types of men infamously manifested their destinies into become the human incarnation of the Grim Reaper himself. There have been numerous studies conducted in…

preface this by saying I had an extremely hard time choosing a director. I love film and drowned myself in choices; but the director I chose is a personal favorite of mine as well as an amazing director that could take this project to the next level, David Fincher. Anyone who loves film knows the Finch, the guy behind Fight Club, Gone Girl, Se7en, and my personal favorite, Zodiac (so underrated it should be criminal). So why would Fincher make a good director for, 1996? His artistic style would…

During the book The Tale of Two Cities , Charles Dickens presented us with many themes throughout the novel. I decided to incorporate the central themes Fate, History and Sacrifice, because those select themes stood out the most to me during this novel. I chose sacrifice as a theme due to the fact that Dickens presented it to us as a necessity to achieve happiness. During the novel the revolutionaries prove that a new french republic can come about with only a heavy and terrible cost and emotion…

regular trips west to collect the information David had gathered and the trips were extremely time consuming and difficult on the rudimentary highways of the time. These trips would also be a red flag to US Intelligence if the Rosenbergs came under surveillance. To alleviate this problem, Julius and Ethel decided David’s wife, Ruth Greenglass would move to a residence in Albuquerque, New Mexico to act as a courier to pass information gathered by David to Soviet agents already working in the…

In his article, “Gentle Savages and Fierce Citizens against Civilization: Unraveling Rousseau’s Paradoxes,” author Matthew Mendham further explores Shklar’s work by creating the “Shklarian Model” which is simply split between what is best for a man and what is best for a citizen as being distinct ideals (172). Mendham further elaborates on this argument by explaining the position of Leo Strauss, who argued that Rousseau’s political solution “ought to be read as merely intended for modern…

backgrounds of emerging capitalism. Though with occasional theoretical variations, each classical economist shared similar thoughts and advanced these hypotheses of former writers. Discussed by the most influential classical economists Adam Smith and David Ricardo, one specific distinctive of classical economics is its theory of wages in which Smith and Ricardo consider wages steady at a minimum level of subsistence. On the other hand, Karl Marx and his critiques of political economy in Das…
