The last and seemingly people's least favorite of Romero's Dead films, Survival of the Dead isn't actually all that bad. It's a far better film than its predecessor Diary of the Dead, at least in my opinion. Returning the standard third person perspective and adopting a more humorous approach, Survival isn't a seemingly endless slog. The films tone is probably the lightest of the Dead films, which at times does push over the border of funny, to simply camp pander. Though we also get a slew of like-able, though not often relate-able characters. Survival quasi picks up where Diary leaves off, though not with the college students. Which I view as an act of mercy on Romero's part. Instead we follow Sarge (Alan Van Sprang), going AWOL from the National Guard with a few of his fellow soldiers, Francisco (Stefano DiMatteo), Tomboy (Athena karkanis) and Kenny (Eric Woolfe). He recounts their actions from the first film, as well as the moments leading up to their decision to go AWOL. Meanwhile on Plumb island, a group of townsfolk lead by Patrick O'Flynn (Kenneth Welsh) has been going around and ensuring that the dead stay dead. Which unfortunately runs counter to plans held by Muldoon (Richard Fitzpatrick), who see's the walking dead as sick who need to be kept and as his numbers out number those following O'Flynn. He forces O'Flynn off the island along with a handful of his men that choose to go with him. Back on the mainland after a run in with some other survivors, Sarges crew…

Many intellectuals in the early twentieth century European societies, like Hobson, Comfort, Ferry and Kipling, had contrasting opinions when referring to imperialism. Hobson for example, does not agree with the idea of imperialism because of how it impacts the inferior country. Foreigners who work in the factories built there are forced to depend on those wages and begin to look up to the superior country. Comfort argues that imperialism should not be a concern in the U.S. because of the fact…

The Sewol ferry tragedy as according to The New York Times in “Ferry Disaster in South Korea: A Year Later”, refers to the incident regarding the Sewol ferry which left Incheon for Jeju Island with a total of 476 passengers and crew, 325 of which were high school students on a school trip. The incident occurred the next morning on April 16 near Jindo as the ship began to tilt at dangerous angles and multiple distress calls were made. However, coast guards only began to arrive forty minutes…

In 1884, Jules Ferry who was then the Prime Minister of France defended the position of France towards imperial expansion. The world trade was rapidly changing a situation which led the French government to expand their colonies. His defense of the same was during a debate with a member of parliament. Germany who are their next door neighbors were setting up trade barriers that would hinder trade with France. Growing industrialization in France led to a higher produce of goods and was in surplus…

The San Francisco Ferry Building is a historic landmark today, but it has only been in recent history that the building has officially been returned to its iconic status. A. Brown designed the Ferry Building in the Beaux-Arts Architectural style, meaning it has such and such characteristics. The Beaux-Arts style highlights symmetry based on heavy influences of Greek and Roman design (Architectural Styles, 2017). It is a classic theme throughout the planning and architectural history to be…

1. According to Ferry, what recent developments in world trade have made it urgent for France to have colonies? Ferry sees the growing economies of Germany and the United States are becoming more of a nuisance. He also worries about protectionism making it hard to sell to their world markets. Countries often go back and forth between ideas of free trade or protectionism. Ferry is fearful of traditionally French markets like South America falling to become American markets. Most importantly,…

After reading and trying fully understand meaning of each of these essays and their correlation to towards each other. The main connection that they have towards each other is that they all are trying to prove the point that John Brown was indeed insane or as they put it, ‘mad.’ They each use several quotes and references in order to support their case. The second connection that they have towards each other is that they all are in reference to John Brown’s alleged “madness” in the aftermath of…

In Anne Sexton’s poem “Letter Written on a Ferry”, she uses tone to convey meaning and to express her feelings. “Letter Written on a Ferry” was written while Anne was going through a breakup. This poem was written to express her feelings while going through this period of her life. When reading this poem, the reader automatically thinks a woman is leaving her loved one. Even though that is true, there is a hidden meaning that Sexton is trying to convey by using tone and her life experiences.…

In my last few weeks at Harpers Ferry, a man in his mid-fifties walked into the Provost Marshal’s office. He was a big man, maybe six foot four. Bald, overweight, wearing a red polo shit and sagging cargo pants with sunglasses pressed into his forehead. I was already talking to a family from the Carolinas interpreting the experiences of the town’s citizens after the war, when across the former slave states Provost Marshals were replaced by agents of the newly formed Freedman’s Bureau. They were…

FACTS: David Nosal was a self-employed entrepreneur who opened a business mimicking his former employer Korn/Ferry’s business strategy. Korn/ Ferry operated an executive search firm, which employed several workers, who were given access to the company computer systems with the use of log in credentials. This granted employees access to critical business information, such as names and contact information for clients and others. Nosal, now a direct competitor of Korn/Ferry, asked some of…
