The Faceless

Shaun Tan's picture book, The Red Tree, explores several key personal challenges that are central to life, such as the struggle of being confused about the meaning of your life. This is depicted in the frame, 'Sometimes you just don't know what you are suppose to do', which showcases our protagonist on a stage forced to put on an act with with a multitude of different objects varying in ages and origins. Tan has used the symbolic item of a puppet that looks like the protagonist. The puppet is…

“In war films of the buddy type the deadliness of war is not glossed over. But it is portrayed not in the death of the enemy who are often faceless or even unseen, but in the death of the comrades and buddies” (Tribunella). Mark Simpson says that often times in war films, seeing one’s comrade in the state of death is hard for a person live through, and therefore loses his boyish innocence. In the same way Gene is overcome by sadness when he gazes upon the dead body that once housed the life of…

I agree with Mr.Coben that parents should use Spyware. Today teens are using the internet a lot. Mr.Coben is saying that parents should use Spyware on their teens because you will never know what your teens are going on. Mr.Coben also said that he shouldnt be nosy on there teen Spyware helps both parents and teens. Most parents already monitor their children watching over their home environment even most parents won’t even consider it. Probably you should buy your child one of those diaries…

Jefferson was more grassroots based and masters of the face to face with the public, this was one of the flaws of the federalist. By being the public eye and apart of the community the people trusted in what they could see instead of publications from a faceless few. Jefferson would gain the public's trust by throwing political barbecues and clambakes focused on white male landowners over 21 years of age (Kevin M. Schultz by G. Larry Mays and L. Thomas Winfree, Jr n.d. pp.153). Jefferson's…

ideologies and refusing to give the enemy a face, while ultimately suggesting that the personal is subordinate to the war and political efforts. One particular scene is especially emblematic of the OWI’s strategy in representing WWII as a war of faceless ideologies, rather than of people or groups of people, while keeping the conflict largely personal. In this scene, a group of German soldiers, with no particular leader, begins singing the German national anthem in Rick’s café, abiding by the…

showcasing your knowledge in the subject matter. I can’t stress the importance of this enough. Competition has never been fiercer and businesses are insignificant without their employees. Your potential customers are looking to work with people, not faceless entities. So this exposure helps you market your own personal brand. The fact that you are reading this article now, proves this point. How else would you and I have connected if I hadn’t written this article?…

But it did seem to become ever more frequent afterwards. We had to cancel Halloween last year; the year before, the poor homeowners of Greenbrook opened their doors to a mix of young trick-or-treaters and faceless, costumeless children. It had been speculated that the ghosts were those of little ones who had passed during the smallpox epidemic three hundred years prior, though no one could be certain. Of course, the gossip du jour amongst the townspeople…

It is that simple. We teach this in preschool. We need to remember that we are not safe from consequence. We are not as far from our fellow man as we might believe. When we speak of our “enemies” as a group it is easy to forget that they are not faceless. They are not…

A Tale of Two Cities was written in the mindset of an ex-prisoner who escaped the Bastille from being wrongfully convicted and poor growing up. He was a scared man in England about a revolution occurring in his hometown, similar to how it did in France. The everlasting commotion of gunshots, ear piercing screams from riots began with the corruption of the first estate.. To say the least, hell broke loose, the mental and emotional wounds that the third estate bared is incomprehensible to the…

Americans perceive downloading music as an everyday act, but it’s actually quite a criminal action. Consequently, downloading music allows the public to listen to their favorite artist for free or for a small price. Stephen Seigel elaborates by saying, “Under the agreement, Napster will begin to charge a monthly fee for use of it’s service--$4.95 seems to be the number being tossed around-- though how the money is ultimately divvied up will surely be a source of future contention.” (“Nipping at…
