Dear. Mrs. Kreider, I am so excited to be in your class this year! I have always loved to read and analyze literature, and I know this year will be no different.

Along with expecting to delve deep into the discussion of various books, plays, and poems, I also expect that this year, in…
The subject of this assignment is Pulp Fiction, a 1994 gangster American comedy about blood, guts, violence, strange sex, drugs, fixed fights and a dead body disposal written and directed by the Oscar winner Quentin Tarantino. One of the most influential films of the 1990s, a delirious post-modern mix of neo-noir thrills, pitch-black humour and pop-culture touchstones.

gun-slinging, rogue, ruthless, yet just, cowboy. The screenplay follows the story of Django, a cowboy who run’s into a prostitute, and their journey to end a feud with Klansman and a group of Mexicans, that they get involved in.

Seems to me if there was this much violence at a Drake concert or the opening of a Quentin Tarantino movie, the public would be demanding for it to be shut down, yet somehow this kind of despicable behavior continues as Trump spews his hateful rhetoric.

a French-made parody of these American films, for instance, the main character, Michel, attempting to molding himself after Humphrey Bogart, and his lover, Patricia, encompassing the role of a femme fatale. Whereas, Pulp Fiction, directed by Quentin Tarantino, and released in 1994, is a sort of new-age film noir, with…
