The films Love Actually (2003) and Pirate Radio (2009) are both directed by Richard Curtis. Although both films are directed by Curtis, there are many differences between the two films that distinguish themselves from one another, such as directional style, the time period, and the plot. Love Actually follows the lives of eight couples during Christmastime in London, showing the audience that love can “actually” be found anywhere. Pirate Radio concentrates on a group of rock-n-roll DJs who defy…

Most people would think that “A Christmas Carol” by Charles Dickens is about Christmas when it was originally written to prevent child labor. The novella tells the story of a wealthy and greedy man named Ebenezer Scrooge. He is not the nicest gentleman and he is mean to his poor servant whose name is Bob Cratchit. This book teaches us that money does not always make us happy. This message can still apply to us today. around the time that ACC was written, children did a lot of work in the mines…

This stereotype is another thing that Bob Marley and his family are revolved around. The Marley family are well known for their music and more importantly their long dreadlocks.

Rastafarians and reggae artist such as Bob Marley called attention to the institution and practices of the Babylon System that were central to the maintenance of slavery, colonialism, and neo-colonialism.

I will specifically focus on the reggae’s biggest star Bob Marley and look at the historical background of 1970s Jamaica when Reggae became the…

That night Scrooge is visited by the ghost of his old business partner, Jacob Marley, who warns him of three more ghosts that will be visiting him at one, two, and three a.m. The first ghost that visits Scrooge is the Ghost of…

Redemption Song recounts the story of slavery; Bob Marley sings about faith, self-preservation, hope, and freedom in his depiction of the Afro-Jamaican emancipation from slavery. In the opening lines of Redemption Song, the prevalence of “i-talk” is quickly established. Lines 1 through 4 proclaim these words, “Old pirates yes they rob I, Sold I to the merchant ships. Minutes after they took I, From the bottom less pit” . The notion of oneness as one Afro-Jamaican nation is evident in these lines…

for example, in the movie, Marley flies out a window after talking to Scrooge, while in the play, he leaves through the door. Another example is when Scrooge buys the giant turkey in the play, he gives the butcher more than he was supposed to. In the movie, he does not give the butcher…

“Christmas is not a time nor a season, but a state of mind. To cherish peace and goodwill, to be plenteous in mercy, is to have the real spirit of Christmas” (Calvin Coolidge). To some people, Christmas Spirit means to be jolly, giving, and praising, but to the main character, Ebenezer Scrooge, in A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens, Christmas Spirit is split into three forms: Past, Present, and Future.
