Wagon train

meanings, symbols, and a tense situation. As Alex Link, a student from York University, explained, from an onlookers’ point of view there is very little that occurs between the two protagonists. Link describes the encounter as: “a couple has drinks at a train station in Spain and argues about something rather vague” (Link 66). To the untrained eye, this is exactly what happens. But when you take a closer look, we see a couple with a strained relationship discussing a complicated procedure and…

Mr. Smith goes to Washington 1. How does Jefferson Smith become a senator? Also, compare his characteristics with the other candidates. Given the difficulty of finding a suitable Senator, just mentioning the name of Jefferson Smith, a young idealist full of innocence and American ideals of democracy, a subject that seems easy to handle and deceive. If Smith already is quite naive, the young man also relies heavily on his colleague, Senator Paine, since he and his father were close friends from…

decided she should go. Jonathan, Elizabeth’s brother had passed the word onto the superintendent, Mr. Higgins, that, Elizabeth was willing to take the job.

story is an explanation of the operations of the first locomotive on the transcontinental railroad. The words convey the temporal information about all of the workings of a locomotive, describing in detail the decisions and actions made to run the train, and allow it to complete its journey from Omaha to the Pacific Ocean. But in the pictures you can see the story of a family trying to reunite, a mother and her children leaving everything the ever owned to reach a new home in San…

The satchel had been my best find in a while from the thrift store. The leather was kind of beaten, but that made it all the more appealing to me. That bag already had a life without me. Maybe it was some drug runner's money bag. Maybe it had belonged to a spy who'd used it undercover and had no more need of it. But whoever it was liked strawberry chapstick. I found a half finished one in the bottom along with some old gum wrappers and crumbs of some sort. I myself preferred mint though. Mint…

During the Ford Pinto scandal that occurred in the 1970’s, Ford executives failed to take action to correct a potentially fatal flaw in the Pinto’s design that causing a fire hazard due to disconnecting the fuel line from the fuel tank during rear-end collisions. In an attempt to compete with the foreign subcompact market, Ford rushed the Pinto leading to “one of the shortest production planning periods in modern automotive history: just 25 months, when the normal time span was 43 months”…

and given freedom once more. Dead Al is another symbol showing that he has gone too far on the road to evil and ended up as a corpse bobbing in the waters days on end (future that holds for the boys if continued on that path). Lastly, the station wagon, despite being thrashed in every corner of it, the wheels are still intact giving them the chance to be saved from that horrid…

While most films offer a sort of distraction from reality, musicals are often a utopia of wealth and happiness (Belton, 2009). Through dazzling song and dance, they make routine look like pageantry and loneliness feel like individuality. Even the most conservative of musicals transform the everyday into a spectacle, transitioning dramatic tensions into a melodic fanfare. Singing liberates the characters to express themselves in a way that mere words never could, giving them a freedom from the…

After sharing its model name with its Chevrolet counterpart for nearly 65 years, the GMC Suburban was renamed the GMC Yukon XL in 2000. This SUV is similar to the current Chevrolet Suburban.

railroads built, merged and even shutdown. Travelling by train is said to be one of the more convenient modes of travel even still today. According to Irish Times “Travel by train, it says, is stress-free, even relaxing. The advantages are that you can work, make and take calls on your mobile phone, read a book, eat a meal, have a drink with a colleague, snooze, stretch your legs and arrive feeling at peace with the world” (par 4). Is travel by train the most convenient mode of travel?…
