Smith provides a truthful account of his experiences and explorations, while myths were made up by individuals who wish to establish some emotion and romance into early American history. The myths are created to romanticize the Smith and Pocahontas into a courting couple who fell in love in order to bring the two cultures together. Pocahontas’ age is raised to make the story rich with romance and compatibility between the two. This idealizes the relationship and creates a view of how the…

came across articles by Adam Smith, Karl Marx, and John Maynard Keynes. In short I have learned that the state should have some form of intervention in the markets. I will first begin with the philosophy of Adam Smith. Adam Smith has a different view from me on the market, and the state.

It’s common practice for movie studios to greenlight sequels, even sequels to movies that few people particularly ask for. This is that grey area in Hollywood where box office success supersedes creativity - and as it pertains to Neighbors, which currently stands as Seth Rogen’s highest grossing film to date (live-action role, at least), it makes perfect sense for there to be a sequel.

have various backgrounds and characteristics that make them very diverse; however, everyone shares a commonality: teeth. As hinted by the title, teeth play a significant role in Smith’s novel and make appearances throughout the novel. I argue that Smith uses teeth to represent one’s identity and their history. Through this identity, teeth show the conflict the characters have with having control over their identity and the fate their pasts have already dictated. When Clara loses her teeth, it…
