of the Vietnam conflict. The Deer Hunter, directed by Michael Cimino, concerns conventional domestic life in the United States during the war, and the impact serving in the war had on men who returned to conventional life after enduring extraordinary horrors. The film has become a critical and commercial success, celebrated for its, “tender – and even optimistic – depiction of the human capacity to endure,” (“After 36 years, The Deer Hunter remains one of the most fascinating films on Vietnam”). It even managed to win five of the nine Oscars it was nominated for, including Best Picture and Best Director, which really put Cimino in the limelight. However, for all its successes, it certainly has some downsides. In order to understand the film’s successes and failures, one must explored the most important focal points of The Deer Hunter, and examine said points with the utmost scrutiny. The Deer Hunter has a very focused narrative in terms of its sparing usage of the Vietnam setting. The film primarily documents the lives of small town Pennsylvanians Michael (Robert De…

that they’d pay you $100 to give up your current lifestyle and return to a hunter-gatherer lifestyle, would you do it? What about for $1,000? Would you still do it for no money at all, but with the knowledge that it would give you a better life? I would. My family would think me to be crazy. In fact, most Americans and Europeans would think that I was crazy, too. As stated in the passage Agriculture, for Better and Worse by Jared Diamond, they would think that I was crazy because “most people in…

From those two readings I chose to write about the author of the story “Fear and Loathing in America” (1972) Hunter Stockton Thompson was an American author and a maverick journalist and also he is the creator of the gonzo journalism. In critique, John Hellman wrote “by conceiving his journalism as a form of fiction, Thompson has been able to shape actual events into meaningful works of literary art.” “fear and in los Vegas is an all – out display of gonzo journalism that remains Thompson best…

In 1971, author Hunter S. Thompson published his book “Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.” Not only was Thompson the author of this book, it was actually based on a real-life experience he took with his attorney, Oscar Zeta Acosta. Even though it was originally an assignment by Sports Illustrated to write a 250-word photograph caption on the Mint 400 motorcycle race held in Las Vegas, he ended up turning in 2,500 words, which eventually turned into the 1972 book, which first appeared in the 1971…

Kurapika had no idea how long he lay in Leorio’s arms, winded and trembly, listening to the soft whir of the ceiling fan overhead. It couldn’t possibly have been for more than a minute or two — and yet, to him, it was as if a probable eternity had passed, and in that eternity Leorio had shown him that there were stars lurking just behind his eyelids. Kurapika propped himself up on one elbow, a little alarmed by how tired he was, and raked his sweaty bangs off his face with a strengthless hand.…

doing things. Another way would be to increase food productivity by farming more efficiently. Better preparation of the soil would help increase the yield of a crop, and deeper digging and turning of the soil is part of soil improvement. The digging stick developed into a hoe with a cutting edge, and the hoe evolved into a plough, which dug a deeper and continuous furrow. Even a simple plough was nearly impossible for one person to manage. Working a plough required two people, one to pull, and…

gradually slopes as a hunter walks out and onto the next ridge. Wind howls as it blows across the mountainside, for nothing blocks it. Monster mule deer graze on the horizon as bighorn sheep bed down on some rocks, prepared for any situation that may arise. The Rockies are not just home to mighty animals but a wide variety of people as well: The Roadhunter, The Nature Hunter, and The Hardcore Hunter. The most recognized Rocky Mountain Hunter is The Roadhunter; a local who never steps out of…

opposite. He suggests that the human race’s transition from bands of hunter-gatherers to societies based on farming was a terrible error, and one that we have yet to recover from. He bases his argument on two major claims. [...] The first is that the diets of the young farming societies were worse than those of the hunter-gatherers, thus leading to less healthy, and therefore lower quality, lives. Furthermore, Diamond posits that the various inequities in our society, such as sexual and…

The earliest modern humans were hunter-gatherers, and any study of human evolution or human history is incomplete without a thorough survey of how these early humans lived. Hunting is considered the most successful environmental acclimatization accomplished by man, and evolutionary scientists have come to regard behavioral as well as anatomical and physiological modifications as important factors in the study of evolution as it pertains to all species. Until the onset of the agricultural…
