Frederick Douglass and John Henry Newman The lives of Frederick Douglass and John Henry Newman are extremely different; the directions of their lives were opposite. However, because of education, one could say that their minds were revitalized into having almost similar views. Frederick Douglass was a slave while John Henry Newman was a scholar at Oxford. Through the experience of education, Douglass wrote the book named Narrative of the Life (1873). In his book, Newman views liberal…

The film I chose to evaluate is “The Green Mile”. In the film a man is wrongly accused for the murders of two young girls. He is then thrown in jail and sentenced to death row. The three areas of criteria that I find are the backbone of this film are the story, the actors, and lastly the setting of the film. The most important aspect of this film for examination is the story of “The Green Mile”. Stephen King (author) and Frank Darabont (director) did an exceptional job when it comes to the story…

Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption is a1982 novella written by Stephen King. In the story, Andy Dufresne is the protagonist -the formerly talented banker with a good of justice, but he is convinced of murdering his wife. So, he is imprisoned in Shawshank prison in Maine. This novella becomes one of the most popular fictions because of themes whether it be theme of hope, theme of correction system, and etc. Nevertheless, to my mind, theme of intelligence is the major theme that Stephen King…

I’m privileged to write this letter of recommendation for my dear friend and former professor, James Newman. I was fortunate enough to have Mr. Newman as a world geography teacher during my freshmen year of high school. The first time I met him I had no idea that we would develop a long-lasting friendship, something that went further than the casual student-professor interactions. As a recent immigrant from Mexico, my first year in high school represented a big challenge as I struggled to adapt…

The Shawshank Redemption is my favorite film of all time and I can almost watch the whole film just by closing my eyes. The film is about a man named Andy Dufesne who is sent to prison on belief that he had killed his wife and the man she was cheating on him with. He is only a banker who claims to be innocent to the crime and is found guilty and sentenced to life in prison at the Shawshank State Penitentiary. While he is at Shawshank he remains to believe that he himself is innocent while the…

Through the days in Shawshank, Andy never lost hope. Loosing hope inside of Shawshank is like Captain Hadley beating “Fat Ass” in the first scenes. “Fat Ass” lost all hope as soon as the prison doors shut and he knew there was no escape. Andy took this into consideration to always have his guard up and not let things get to him. When meeting Red he met somebody who reflected Andy’s life. Seeing how Red was a down to earth guy helped Andy throughout his time in Shawshank prison. The director of…

Vinoth Loganathan Mark 3.9 Frank Darabont – Shawshank Redemption and The Green Mile Anne Bradstreet once said “Authority without wisdom is like a heavy axe without an edge, fitter to bruise than polish.” Frank Darabont effectuates this simple principal in his work. He successfully illustrates and imparts this comprehension into the mind of his viewers making his impact in the world. It can be drawn that this principle is close to his heart as it is craftily presented in most of his works. Frank…

John Henry Newman was one of the most important Roman Catholic theologians in the 19th century, otherwise known as the Victorian Era (Shiefen). He is known greatly for his involvement in the Oxford movement, a movement in which many men argued for the want of older Christian traditions to return so that the Church of England could be brought back to its Catholic roots. Before Newman was a part of the Oxford movement, he was a very popular priest at Oxford, and he later became a cardinal.…

advancement in all aspect of life, especially education. Thus, it is worth considering the role of technology in education and how it fosters an effective and efficient learning experience to the cadets at West Point. “To Siri, with Love” by Judith Newman, demonstrates just how effective the role of technology is by describing the development of her son’s social abilities through Siri. In Newman’s “To Siri, with Love,” she talks about how her autistic son, Gus, develops through his…
