Nostalgia

the Eastern vintage style Cola, simply for sentimental reasons. East Germany can also be visited today. The people of Germany can go to the many tourist attractions to reminisce about the old ways of East Germany. Because of many of these small nostalgias, some people of both East and West Germany believe their lives would be better if the wall was still up. A poll done by the German institute, Emnid, found that about a quarter of the residents of East Germany and a quarter of the residents of…

However, in the film music is a phenomena which helps to reconcile conflict between various characters. Collectively, both the artists conclude that music is like a facade to many. Music enhances and fantasizes the lives of artists. Music triggers nostalgia in Bennie and Scotty, which enables them to seek the lost time of their youth. Time was a “goon” which had stripped both the characters from their fame, power and…

It is a combination of white and black culture to create something unique that could be considered American. The songs have themes that can be felt by anyone such as a feeling of nostalgia for home, slavery, as well as life in the South. They also have “extraordinary flexibility and resilience.” This makes it similar to Soul Food which was also a result of creolization. Moreover, songs by Foster have been referenced in multiple songs…

Pushing Hands (1992), Wedding Banquet (1993), and Eat Drink Man Woman (1994) are Ang Lee’s award-winning trilogy that established his unprecedented success in both film critic and global market. In Ma’s article, he defined Ang Lee’s trilogy as domestic tragicomedy, the word “domestic” refers to not only family, but also nation and Chinese culture; and “tragicomedy” indicates the elaborated melancholic immigrant culture in both Chinese and Chinese diaspora with a light-hearted tone (193). Indeed,…

apparent as you read on. It gave me a great sense of nostalgia and wonder; it makes you think quite deeply. It was eloquently written and its subtle use of pathos was lovely. Dan Brooks’ use of metaphors and similes were also great. The word choice was well done and as a result it all transitioned smoothly and went together very nicely. The word choice was even more interesting to me because it was big element when it came to bcf causing the nostalgia…

nature grew despondently, just as Richard Louv emphasizes in his excerpt, the “Last Child in the Woods.” Louv stresses that the loss of nature will hit home in present and future generations by using an anecdote, rhetorical logos, and a sense of nostalgia through pathos. The excerpt begins with researchers at the State University of New York experimenting in order to select the multiple colors that appear on a butterfly’s wings, very intriguing. This news brought Matt Richtel to believe that it…

narrator states that the roots of the trees “hold the secrets, these melodies”, reaffirming the memories connection to the North and to the songs. He continues “Echoes from the past, nothing here will last”, hence highlighting the time passing, nostalgia and mortality. The last lines “But the songs from your journey / You will bury with your heart” mean that when he dies also his longing ends, thus highlighting the key role of the memories in his longing. The songs of the North act as a stimulus…

Understanding and Reacting to Ronald Symes and “The Roman Revolution” When studying a concept as dense as the fall of the Roman Republic and thus the subsequent creation of the Roman Empire many factors must be taken into account. Ronald Syme in his book the Roman Revolution is very bold in his attempt to explain all the events of the revolution to his audience. This in itself is not an easy thing to do and Syme’s book is in itself not an easy read. Perhaps in correlation with the difficulty of…

Breakfast Club is a great drama/comedy from the late screenwriter, John Hughes and features some of the most popular young actors of the 80s like Eimilio Estevez, Molly Ringwald, Paul Gleason, Anthony Hall and Ally Sheedy. The film is a great hit of nostalgia for us older viewers. The Breakfast Club starts off with all the kids being dropped off at school on a Saturday in 1984, with all of them being in detention. As they enter the library where they will spend the 9 hours they realize none of…

particularly biased answering this question but through research and comparisons I can conclude the Renaissance Age of Animation was better than the Golden Age of Animation. I grew up on these cartoons and of course they evoke a strong feeling of nostalgia, but I see a stronger quality of animation and storytelling during the Renaissance Age. Of course we can’t really appreciate the Renaissance without the Golden Age because without it we wouldn’t be where we are now. Don’t get me wrong, the…
