Mount Rushmore

Alfred Hitchcock once said “there is no terror in the bang, only in the anticipation of it”(Crow, Jonathan).One of the greatest filmmakers of all times, was nicknamed “The Master of Suspense” for he was creating a psychological suspense in his films, which resulted in a unique watching experience (Alfred Hitchcock." Bio.com.). He was also an acknowledge master of the thriller, a genre he virtually invented (Ramirez Berg, Charles) and a brilliant technician. Born in London on August 13, 1899…

he was most like Donald Trump for how badly each of them scared Republican elites. No matter what someone’s opinion of President Theodore Roosevelt is, no one can argue with the fact that he had a great presidency and he truly deserves to be upon Mount…

1. Take a walk on IWU campus and observe the Nativity scenes (Mary, Joseph, etc.) displayed by the Bookstore and Baldwin cafeteria. Describe the characters’ racial identity. Explain what is communicated through this and why it is a problem (you can use what Dr. Bob Priest talked about to explain it). What might be a solution? The Nativity scene that I observed had one African American. The African American man was one of the Wisemen. The holy family is usually depicted with porcelain white…

I have had many different “Bucket Lists” in my life, but within each one is a common purpose; to accomplish things that make me feel fulfillment and joy when it comes to how I live my life and the goals I set. I remember one of the first bucket lists I ever made was a list of ideals I wanted to have as a person and in a family. It contained items such as get married to my best friend in my church’s temple, have three children, and be the best me I can be. These are all still valid goals, but as…

Samuel Adams. He went to Harvard, tried brewing, and was the brother of president John Adams. Some people say that Samuel Adams really didn't do much for the colonies, but that is simply not true. It is important that Samuel Adams should be recognized as a significant figure in history. He helped propel America towards independence with his actions and words, helped with the war effort against Britain, and had an important role in independent America’s government. First of all, Samuel Adams…

The short story “The Champ” written by T.C. Boyle is about a young man that has been the champion and set multiple records. As strange as competitive eating may sound there are people that actually enjoy watching and/ or be apart of the contest. In “ The Champ” Boyle gives the reader an insight from the main character’s perspective. The story is about Angelo D., the main character, and how he starts the short story off as the champ. Although he begins as the champ with a variety of records set,…

artists and the “heritage” artists seeking to reaffirm their country bona fides, harken back to the “good ole days” when country was pure and authentic. These artists will attach themselves to the sounds and songs of performers who embody the Mount Rushmore of the genre by covering their repertoire and name checking them in their songs. Currently, country music is witnessing such an arc in this narrative with the critical and economic successes with Chris Stapleton, Jason Isbell, and Jamey…

In my opinion, we should stop making stupid people famous. Today, it is very easy for anyone to be remembered for a very long time, for doing virtually nothing. Worst case scenario, we can even make someone famous for doing something stupid, like eating a tampon or disrespecting their mother. Yes, shocking I know but these two things have actually happened. Now imagine what it would be like if these two figures had statues erected in their name after they died. Imagine if their name was…

standing they both also dominated in trade. Both civilizations even created monuments or even statues of people that had great influence, an example of this is the Egyptians created pyramids and the U.S. has memorials like the Washington Monument or Mount Rushmore National Memorial. They both even created/use advanced mathematics and medical practices of creating medicine and the use of vaccines. Though after all that the similarities start to get fuzzier. Especially, on the standing of…

The similarities between the American Indians that Dennis Banks discussed in Ojibwa Warrior and Americans that Russell Means describes in Russell Means: Americans are the New Indians lie in the fact that both have lost constitutional rights and freedoms that they once had. This is a social problem caused by the centralized power of the United States Government. (Macaluso, 2016). Because the power lies mostly within the Executive Branch of the government, the military, and the large corporations,…
