And all the credit for this goes to communalism, the politics of religious hatred. Rushdie in ‘The Riddle of Midnight India, August 1947’ has discussed about the birth of India and many Indians- Rushdie reunited many of his twins. Even though getting the greatest gift of freedom on August 1947, yet many of the midnight’s children have suffered due to the weak roots…

Civil Rights Movement Ashley Plunkett November 28th, 2017 Book Review #3 Waiting Til The Midnight Hour: A Restoration of The Black Power Image in America Peniel E. Joseph’s Waiting Til The Midnight Hour desperately tries to eradicate the limited perception that a majority of people have surrounded the American Civil Rights Movement.

Listen my children, and you shall hear of the midnight ride of Paul Revere…(Henry Longfellow, “The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere”). Whenever you hear the name Paul Revere most people automatically think of his midnight ride and how he warned his fellow rebels of the incoming British and how he rode from town to town yelling “The British are coming! The British are coming!” Which, by the way, he didn’t yell “The British are coming!” he yelled “The Regulars are coming!” British soldiers were…

“Listen, my children, and you shall hear Of the midnight ride of Paul Revere...” (Longfellow par. 1). These words by Longfellow seem to spring into the mind when looking at The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere by Grant Wood. Grant Wood’s painting presents an idealized portrayal of a well-known event in American history in a time when when America had lost its luster. Upon first looking at the painting, the eye is drawn immediately to the church that stands in the foreground. The white church…

ostracized. Similarly, in Whitman’s poem, the clear night represents a death. Whitman addresses that under the “night, sleep, and the stars” the soul is “away from books, away from art” (Whitman lines 2-4). As night is the close of a day, the clear midnight is symbolic of the close of a person’s life. Whitman does not see death as chains but rather as a “free flight” (Whitman line 1). A social death, rather than a physical death, makes someone into an individual who would be free to fly and be…

After watching the film, Midnight Express, we can say that William Haynes in the movie is a static character. This is because in the very beginning part of the film Haynes was heading back to New York and he was stuffing straps 2 kg (kilograms) of hashish blocks smuggled into his chest. In addition, when we hear his heart beating and see him sweating excessively, it shows how nervous he was that he’s afraid that he will get caught and he had then got arrested and busted by the Turkish airport…
