The Lone Ranger

For example he says, “... dialing 1­900 and seven other digits can put you in intimate contact with pre­ op transsexuals in wet suits who will talk to you as long as the credit limit on your MasterCard stays in the black” (Van Der Leun 477). Humor is used here by saying all these “men” call expecting to talk to some young, hot girl, but in reality, they could be speaking to another guy. It is showing how people’s fantasies are not always what they seem and how erotica has gotten so out of…

The camera angles, lighting, acting, and scenery all worked harmoniously to make the film both interesting and enjoyable to watch. Furthermore, the character development was stupendous as well. The hammock sleeper, horse riding Cogburn and arrogant, lone wolf LaBoeuf both learn to admire the determined attitude of Mattie. Additionally, it is quite difficult to not fall in love with the main cast at the end of…

TV Programming Over Time “I thought they were pulling my leg when they said that one of these days, pictures are going to be flying through the air - you’ll be able to see radio!” (“TV History”). Hal Kanter was not the only American thinking the same thing. Today, television eats away at the average person’s life. For example, the average person working a full time job works around forty hours a week, which is the same amount of hours the average person spends watching television a week…

Picture a young girl in rural Waynesburg with her parents and five siblings. The little log house she called home had 2 foot walls and was only big enough for a person to stand in the middle of the room. The papered walls required scrubbing every week because the gas lights spread soot and, sometimes, if the wind came through the windows strong enough, they would shatter. Every day, she would lead the two horses, Pearl and Prince, out to the field to gather up the hay and to plow. She was not…

Everybody’s habits, mannerisms, and beliefs are products of their environments and the people with whom they surround themselves. Although most habitual patterns are preexisting, more often than not, they can be altered or influenced by those one considers highly important or significant. These modifiable patterns can include hygienic routines, hobbies or pastimes, or, in the case of Frank Norris’ intriguingly dramatic novel, McTeague, food and drink intake, and the way in which one dines.…

time goes on, and underestimate the talents of all cultures. Several forms of whitewashing are present in the media. First of all, there is the version when a white actor portrays a character that is supposed to be another race. In the movie The Lone Ranger, Johnny Depp played a Native American character. This variation of whitewashing means any of the characters portrayed as white people no longer have the ethnic variety that the story was written for. The story is now about the struggle of…

to remember and protest atrocities during the dictatorship. Playright and essayist Ariel Dorfman’s Death and the Maiden (1990, film version 1994) places themes of violence and memory at the center of the drama. The Empire’s Old Clothes: What the Lone Ranger, Babar, and Other Innocent Heros do to Our Minds (1983) is a seminal work of cultural criticism that lays bare issues of media literacy, consumerism, cultural imperialism and…

determine the cause of education. Educators, teachers union, activist, legislators, parents’ administrators and students must come together collaboratively and be more vocal and visible in favor of reform or nothing will change. Like Vilson, a lone ranger in isolation can shed light on the issues but will still remain unheard and unnoticed in a system controlled by the powerful. In a small country I have watched unified groups of individuals on numerous occasion force an entire country to come…

No little part of his effect comes from the music. Although Kubrick originally commissioned an original score from Alex North, he used classical recordings as a temporary track while editing the film, and they worked so well that he kept them. This was a crucial decision. North's score, which is available on a recording, is a good job of film composition, but would have been wrong for “2001" because, like all scores, it attempts to underline the action -- to give us emotional cues. The classical…

Just a few years after the last global conflict, the Second World War began. World War II was the most deadly and most widespread war in history. World War II was the most significant period of the 20th century. It brought about major leaps in technology and increased groundwork which permitted post-war social changes. WWII also made changes in the civil rights movemen, and the modern women’s rights movement, and also the programs for exploring outer space. The main opponents were the Axis…
