In this film, Ford brings to perspective the society that he created in the past and how it died as a result of the new transition in form of modernization. In this film, the western frontier ideals are brought to light with the transition from an old social order characterized by lawlessness embodied by the gunslingers into a modern society that is governed by law and order (Ebert). The inevitable transition represents a death of…

City/Frontier Throughout the play there is a contrast between the fantasies and desires of the characters and their current circumstances. Most central to the meaning of the play is Willy and his sons’ desires to get out of the busy, polluted, and claustrophobic city, and out to the frontier to pursue their dreams and careers. Early on in the play, Willy expresses his disdain for the city life when he rants “The way they boxed us in here. Bricks and windows, windows and bricks… The street is…

sent them down the River”. Document G describes how slavery still existed on the frontier. “Sometimes the owner rides with his wife and children in a special wagon, sometimes in a coach, or he ries on horseback. If he has male slaves, one of these will be the driver”. These issues regarding slavery relate to our society today because there is still race discrimination and…

caring Marilyn Cross, has affected every one of us here in a unique way. Marilyn had many friends, and no enemies as everyone she met became one of her many acquaintances.

During the growth and colonization of North America, a large number of conflicts occurred because of deep rooted tensions among the colonists. The British Empire imposed the policy of salutary neglect on the North American colonies, and this treatment allowed the colonists to have substantial power in their local governments. The colonists’ self government led to a great political instability. Rebellions and revolts surfaced in colonies all across North America, and the reasons behind the unrest…

From the time of the Spanish American war until the present, the United States went from relative isolation to increased global involvement because of opportunities for economic growth, national security interests around the world, and an increasing belief that America was needed to create a better world. The consequences on American society of that greater involvement were a greater demand for social equality for minorities, a growing sense of nativism before World War Two, the growing…

spent much time in nature embracing its beauty. While Thoreau lived by Walden Pond in a cabin with much comfort and the tools needed to survive, McCandless journeyed place to place carelessly with little supplies throughout his trip to the Alaskan Frontier. This crucial difference between the two expeditions is why Henry David Thoreau would perceive Chris McCandless as a foolish individual who was naive about the dangers of the great outdoors. This can be seen since Chris lacked what Thoreau…

record is our inheritance, the one that Goethe had in mind when he suggested a restructuring of the deal that Satan offered Faust. It isn’t with magic that men make their immortality. They do so with what they’ve learned on their travels across the frontiers of five millennia, salvaging from the ruin of families and the death of cities what they find to be useful or beautiful or true. We have nothing else with which to build the future except the lumber of the past—history exploited as natural…

John Seal is a Los Angeles-based artist, whose solo exhibition "I Upon My Frontiers Here Keep My Residence" is on view at Gavin Brown Enterprise in the Bowery district. There are a series of works where the outline of a jacket is invaded by his flowery images.

Many of Seals paintings depict still-lifes…
