The Hero’s Journey Of Travis Bickle the Taxi Driver A retrospective As the audience meets Travis Bickle, the stage is set for a dark journey for the ”hero” of the film. Snap shots of rainy, dark streets in New York City’s steamy section, allows the viewer to see that this hero is going to be motivated by his own pessimistic view of the world. Travis Bickle is an ex- marine with honorable discharge, and the film is timed just after the Vietnam War. Although Travis never talks about how the war affected him, or why he was discharged, it is obvious that he is haunted by memories from his time overseas. Travis is single and alone, living in a shabby one room apartment, somewhere in or near Manhattan.

Angela Veles Crime 330 Thursday 7:00pm Outline Major Topic: Should Captains, Supervisor and Police Officers be immune to the Criminal Justice system or should their ranking be enough to hold them to a higher standard than the ordinary citizen, or does in fact rank bestow privilege?

One of the newer blockbusters “V for Vendetta” had been fairly important icon many recent riots and social movements such as Arab Spring, Gezi Protests & Occupy Wall Street... Etc.

The U.F.C. empowers American youth to take violence to another level because their idols are influencing them to believe it is acceptable to engage in this type of unmonitored, uncontrolled fighting. Dana White founder of the U.F.C. was inspired to recreate a new sport that would take the place of boxing. This sport incorporates more action, blood, and millions of fans that pay large sums of money to be entertained by all the violence.
