So Lennie was a huge man, that was the complete opposite of his best friend. Not only were they different body types, but Lennie was Caucasian and George was African American.

The more the movie went into depth, the more stronger the similarities and differences presented themselves. As the stories of these heroes unraveled, comparing and contrasting the psyche, the brutality ,the moral and ethical conflicts in great war movies such as the “Lone Survivor”(Berg.2014), and “Apocalypse Now”(Coppola.1979), was not as hard as imagined. The psyche of a man in war is really captured in both these movies. Of the two movies,”Apocalypse now”() really captures a stronger sense of what war can do to a soldier’s mental status, one example of a deteering mind is Colonel Kurtz. This man reputation was one of the greatest to ever represent his country, he was the 4.0 kid who never did anything wrong and was on pace to be up at the very top of the ranks the military can offer.
The novel Joker One, written by Donovan Campbell is a recount of the war in Iraq, from an inside perspective. Every day, Campbell was faced with life or death situations, which hopefully left both his Marines, as well as the innocent civilians of Iraq alive and well. Because he was in such a high position, many times Campbell would have to make quick decisions based on what he felt was most humane. Unfortunately, Campbell is just a young man, and sometimes it becomes difficult to really decide what is just. Ultimately, in the time of battle, there are many situations when there is no right answer.

Year 11 Advanced English Quality of Relationships in Society Many authors have tried to illustrate the quality of relationships in society within their texts. This is clearly seen in Robert Louis Stevenson’s novella “Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde” and the 1989 movie “Batman” directed by Tim Burton. Jekyll and Hyde was created during the 1800s in an era where police had little or no control over criminals and justice was usually enforced by higher middleclass citizens. This is seen throughout the text many times. For example, when the girl is trampled by Hyde, his punishment is decided by Mr Enfield and a Doctor, who are both well respected members of society.
He was said to use his brass knuckles to gain respect, and to make people afraid of him. It was exactly this that made him seem so much more threatening than other boys. However, the Assef we met in the film was an ordinary Afghanistan boy. Though he was a bully, and walked within his circles as if he owned them, he did not seem as frightening as in the book. A characteristic that is truly presented in both the film and book is the fact that Assef is a bully.
In Gibson’s book, “Warrior Dreams,” he describes the aftermath of America after the Vietnam War and finds out those American males have been living a war amongst themselves within their own male identity. As Gibson puts it, he “began to dream, to fantasize about powers and features of another kind of man who could retake and reorder the world” (Gibson 504). For instance, there have been a rise of action movies that involve violence and guns as being the answer to solving problems. Many American men are buying guns because they feel that they need to protect their families with it, only thinking that it makes a bigger man out of themselves, like Albright in Devil in a Blue Dress. Also, games like paintball have been created to simulate battles and wars, and to make the average American male as if he can still feel dominate.
Even many of Johnny Friendly’s goons were not actors. Instead, they were actual former heavyweight boxers who were hired for their rough demeanor and imposing physical presence. Many of the longshoremen, too, were actual workers from the Hoboken docks. The background sounds on the dock—ships’ whistles and chains clanging through metal loops—add to the realistic aural environment. All of these decisions result in an environment that heightens the reality and depth of the characters’ struggles and emotions.
Unlike Piggy, he admits that the death of Simon is "murder" and that he was partly involved. Another reason for considering Ralph the hero of the book is that he is at the center of the story. The novel begins and ends with his views and we spend more time with Ralph than with any other single character. Ralph therefore qualifies as the hero of the novel in many ways, but he also has many faults. He is not a strong leader and is unable to make sure that the huts are built or the fire is watched.
