It is what is to be expected from American Literature, where the focus is on individualism and patriotism. Rarely do the authors depict a group of people. It is always concentrated on one being.

When it comes to films, I am generally open to almost anything and by almost, I mean, anything with the exception of Westerns. I cannot stand them with everything in my being. None of it makes sense to me, none of it looks real and it just does not appeal to me. Growing up, I seen or should I say, was forced to endure westerns if I wanted to watch television, because my mother was a big western fan. That may be what led to my extreme distaste for them now, having to watch them every day as a…

Being in GSW 1110 my senior year of high school has taught me so many things and made me become a better writer as well as getting me…

What do movies like The Wizard Of Oz, The Godfather, and Star Wars have in common? These movies aren’t just good, they aren’t just great. They’re classics. But what makes these movies a masterpiece? Most would say the actors or the script, which is true. But these are not what leaves you walking out of the theatre with a smile on your face.

He also claims FF romantizes past and uses…

Books are often made into movies with the same titles and relatively the same plots, but it is rare to find a novel and a movie with completely different plots with so many similarities. Wall-E, an animated film about a robot, and The Handmaid’s Tale, a novel about a society where women are going sterile, can both be classified as having dystopian societies.
