His dream was to be able to create something new with his everlasting imagination. Frank Lloyd Wright's dream had inspired many to follow in his footsteps because his dream was to acomplish something that he could call his own.

On December 17th, 1903, two Americans, Wilbur and Orville Wright created the first successful airplane design. As the only sustained, controlled, heavier-than-air, human flight of the time, it was groundbreaking. Furthermore, their three-axis control became and remains the standard steering system on various fixed-wing aircrafts. Their basic design would be developed into the much-more-practical Wright Flyer III. However, large scale usage of aviation technology would not be observed until World…

Fairy tales put the children in the story in danger or in places of others to save themselves. The stories also make the women look like terrible people because of the way they treat people. Using the kids as their “shield” is not fair to the children because they have to be responsible for saving their own family or anyone else that needs it. Kids are also being stuck doing manly things or they are put up to save themselves in the stories. They do his while the men are able to do whatever…

“Cinderella” and “Everafter” are the same in many ways but here are some stark differences. In fact they seem to be very different. In “Cinderella” Cinderella cried at her mother’s grave everyday like a baby. While on the other hand feisty and didn’t dwell on the past. Secondly Henry in “Cinderella” had to have birds tell him he had the wrong girl. Henry definitely wasn’t the sharpest knife in the drawer. Like Mrs. Gunn said “you gotta be five levels below stupid if…” you have to have a…
Little Red Cap, recorded in 1812 by the Brothers Grimm, and The Little Girl and the Wolf published in 1940 by James Thurber reflect societal values and society’s representations of gender during the time that they were written in. In the first version of the Grimm’s tale, they constructed an unintelligent and oblivious protagonist to depict the lack of agency of women. They also introduced a male hero to the tale to implement the belief that a woman is always saved by a man in society. However,…

There are a lot of similarities between “No Country for Old Men” and “Fargo”. The opening scene of NCFOM where Anton Chigurh strangles the cop to death instantly reminded me of when Gaear Grimsrud in Fargo shoots and kills the police officer in the head after only getting stopped for a minor traffic incident. “Money is the root of all evil” is a one of the common themes both “No Country for Old Men” and “Fargo” share. There is also a small time cop whose experience and intelligence pieces…
