The movie is very visually pleasing and reflects the feelings of the Vietnam war somewhat accurately, however the way the movie portrays these feelings is not completely realistic.…

The Sharpeville Massacre The first white settler 's arrived at the Cape of Good Hope in 1652. In 1707, the Dutch company stopped all immigration; for over 100 years, no new immigrants arrived. This ended abruptly in 1806 when the British captured the cape: In 1814, Britain bought the cape from the Dutch and it became part of the growing British Empire.

They…

other women than white women? It seems like Potts is just making this up so she can have another point in her essay that would be a contributing factor to her question. She does this again with stereotypes that people have about the south and poor communities in the south such as “Meth and alcohol kill quickly.
