Saving Private Ryan

Good morning students and welcome to the HSC study day. Todays lecture is on how the two texts, The Courtship of Joe Wilson and Saving Private Ryan increase our appreciation of the world through language and to explore the world in general. Henry Lawson’s extraordinary novel, The Courtship of Joe Wilson depicts through various literary techniques the past world of rural Australia in the late 1800s and employs colloquial language, imagery and dialogue to emphasise our understanding and…

I would say Paths of Glory is vastly different than the other war movies I have seen. First off you don’t see much fighting in this movie. Also most war movies are usually long movies for example Apocalypse Now is 2 hours 33min and Saving Private Ryan is 2 hours 49min and Oliver Stone’s Platoon is at least 2 hours compared to Paths of Glory is 1 hour 28min. After I watched Paths of Glory it sort of reminded me of Platoon. Both movies had a character that really made me angry. In Paths of Glory…

The main purpose of a film about our sixteenth President Abraham Lincoln is to paint him in a light that shows him in either of two ways: the savior of the Union or the ‘Great Emancipator.’ Lincoln is regarded as our greatest President, alongside George Washington; while much is known of Lincoln, people still crave to see the ‘true’ Lincoln, distilled in all his brevity and modesty. Lincoln in its twenty-first century special effects and bold-forced acting showed us with great pride the grandeur…

The Color Purple also showcases sacrifice within the context of a familial relationship, in the form of Celie and Nettie. As the oldest child in her family, Celie takes care of her younger siblings more and more as her mother becomes sicker, eventually becoming the surrogate mother for them once her mother dies. She also begins to take her mother’s place in another sense, because as her mother loses the inclination to be physical with her stepfather, she becomes the new provider for Alphonso’s…

If there has ever been one subject in school that I can confidently say has always intrigued me, it would have to be History. It’s all too common that people are not interested in history because of the laborious dates, mass amounts of information, or even the conflicting opinions. I enjoy seeing how generations before us perceived our world, or how human beings before us handled pressing situations. History is the key to perfecting our future. As much as I relish History, there is one…
