The Outlaw Josey Wales, produced by Robert Daley and starring Clint Eastwood, portrays the life of Josey Wales as he runs from the notorious Union Captain Terrell and his horde of ruthless Redlegs and bounty hunters. Josey Wales’ exodus from Missouri is caused by his refusal to surrender to the Union. In the film, The Outlaw Josey Wales, shadows are used to illustrate the state of Josey Wales’ soul. The film begins in Missouri on the Wales family farm as Josey and his son plow the field. The act of plowing the field alludes to the connection and balance between Josey’s animus and anima. Josey is a farmer. He is grounded and knows who he is, thus, the sun illuminates Josey’s face, symbolizing the goodness and light in his soul. A farmer also serves “as the catalyst of the forces of regeneration and salvation, forces which join every beginning to every end, forging links which bind time together, as well as the successive seasons and renascent vegetation” (Cirlot 102). Although Josey’s face is illuminated, the sun is setting, which alludes to the death of his being a farmer and a father and the birth of his being an outlaw. Furthermore, Josey drops the reins to his horse and runs from the…

From 1066 to 1295, the ruler-ship of Wales was disputed. In the 1080s, The Normans became the first foreign power to conquer Wales. By 1100, almost all of Southern Wales was under Norman control. But their hold was tenuous, and territories passed back and forth between Welsh and Norman hands. By 1200, Southern Wales was under the control of English marcher barons , while Central and Northern Wales was in the hands of Welsh lords who, while technically under the control of England, operated, for…
It is believed that groups of nomads came to Scotland as early as 12,000 years ago after the last glaciers withdrew from the area. The earliest known permanent settlements were established 9000 years ago, and gradually over time they developed into what we now consider villages.

These are understood to be civil liberties for United States citizens. In 1770, and the years leading to the Boston Massacre, these liberties were not in the picture for the government or the individuals. In this point in history, the thirteen colonies had settled in America, and the British parliament decided to inflict new…
