“discharged into the street free”(Dickens 275), but then someone threw a pike (spear) at him; he passed out as a result. Then Dr. Manette sees the same people that stopped and help this man plunge right back into “...Butchery so dreadful, that the Doctor had covered his eyes with his hands, and swooned away in the midst of it.” (Dickens 276). The man who was freed could represent hope. Immediately after he was freed he was stabbed with a pike. This shows that people have lost their humanity as a…

A new sword morphed from the arming sword, a longer, heavier, diamond-shaped blade designed for thrusting…

two anyway. Although, something was different about the team, there was an anxiety or something of the sort radiating off of each player. Everyone was thinking about what would happen tomorrow at the first game of the season, Pike versus Guerin Catholic. Our adversary Pike, is a large public school with a good soccer team and lots of talent, and we were going in with a target on our back. We were Guerin Catholic high school, state champions the year before, and everyone was out to get us. I knew…

people's lives doing so. He thought by doing this he would end slavery, but if he did not get caught more people would have died because of John.

The Wild Bunch covers, no doubt, a whole variety and mix of genres and sub-genres. As anyone could make an argument for which genre they think is dominant in, “The Wild Bunch” (e.g. crime drama, romance, thriller, drug movie, dark comedy, etc.). The cinematic clues I’ve based my decision on is a subgenre of film known as the "Revisionist Western”. I’m sure you are asking yourself; how does this film that I chose enact the genre it is supposed to represent and how does it subvert it? Well,…

John Brown ordered to have several hundred pikes, which he hid close to Harpers Ferry for the slaves to attack and use the stolen weapons from Harpers Ferry to start a slave revolt against it. The evidence supports the claim by saying that John Brown wanted to protect the slaves. Since he ordered to get all those pikes, that shows that John Brown actually cared about the…
