The ones with a more clear resembles to the real life are the Scarecrow, Tin man, and the Wicked Witch of the East. The characters as well as their dilemmas’ have a deeper meaning then some may think. Each of the characters is symbolic to the ideas and events from the Populist movement. For example the Scarecrow’s problem seems to be that he is brainless. In the movie the Wizard of Oz Scarecrow is meant to be portrayed simple minded, When Dorothy first meets Scarecrow, in the movie, he can not seem to make up his mind on which path Dorothy should continue on to.
In The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks, prejudice extends past race and gender to include unethical verdicts. It may be perfectly legal that John Hopkins researchers used Henrietta’s cells, however it is immoral. A consent form demonstrated, on page thirty-one, a vague statement and because of this the existence of Henrietta Lacks cells will always stir controversy whether it is in their origin or the continued usage for years to come and I believe we should have consent to our cells because it our rights as humans and the right to privacy. In addition, it is important for people to know what is done to cells because we should not unwillingly give consent (if we are not fully aware). Ethical dilemmas arise one being the Lacks family had no idea that a sample of her tumour had been taken and sent to George Gey.
He states that it is actually ironic that parents let children watch these G-rated movies when they are “minefields of terror,” as he quotes. Why is it that children are allowed to watch these movies, yet not allowed a horror movie? Perhaps it is because of the animation and some of the historical prestige of Disney after all. I am not one to judge Disney movies, in my opinion I enjoy some of them, but honestly there is a fine line of subliminal messaging involved. I believe king did not mention this to state he is against Disney movies, I think it was just to defend his idea that most horror themes and Disney movies are alike in many ways.
Using an informal structure and generally rational tone the writer is opposed to smacking children stating that ‘it does not help’. In a colloquial tone, Thornton begins her opinion piece by justifying her reasons for smacking her children by stating that she does not want a child who ‘disrespects adults’, ‘bites, pokes [their] tongue out’ and a child who ‘keeps nagging to get [their] own way’ which makes the audience feel empathy towards the writer. The writer repeats the phrase ‘I don’t want’ to emphasize her point that she does not want a child who is disrespectful. Repetition is used in Thornton’s argument to capture the readers attention while making her viewpoint clear. The writer goes on to argue that ‘discipline isn't always easy for parents’ and that is is easy to let their ‘little misdemeanors’ go unnoticed.
Student Professor English 305 6 November 2009 I Say No To Hate Crime Laws Hate crimes are an irrational, ignorant and cowardly expression of desperation. A person who commits a hate crime is desperate to feel better, superior and in control. That being said, there should not be special laws and mandatory sentences for people who commit these heinous acts of violence because they do not accomplish the goals of eradicating or deterring bigotry. If we, as a society, put special laws and punishments into our legal system, we are unequivocally saying that the motive of these acts is more important than the intent or outcome of these crimes. I do not believe this is true nor do I feel that this is the position of the majority of people in
Some called it a failure, but now it is considered a kind of cult classic due to its psychedelic setting and “trippy” vibes. Magical Mystery Tour became an album only as an afterthought. The project was delayed because they spent so much time working on the song “All You Need is Love.” The album held six tracks and made eight million in the first few weeks. Though it was a huge seller, the album was also a letdown and was not well received by critics. Though the project was fun and the Beatles got to wear funny walrus costumes, it didn’t have the energy that is greatly respected and admired in Sgt.
Has Disney diversified too far? I believe Disney has diversified too far. I think the first bad decision they made is to create ‘Touchstone’. I personally view this as a diversification out of desperation as they lost Walt Disney the company sort of running out of ideas to make animation, which always has been their best ability (should have said core competence). Even though, Touchstone did generate profit to Disney and it can share Disney resources, as a film company, to film at Touchstone, but it made them lost track of what their core business really is.
However, by presenting both sides of the argument one can understand the reasons why it shouldn’t be read and why it should be read. The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, should not be read because of the racist, harsh, and critical language in the book. However, it should be read because it helps teach personal morals and judgments, as well as important themes like friendship or love. You can never “candy-coat” material to protect teens from reading such material. Sooner or later they will have to find out.
In actuality, creating a fiction setting where life is perfect will do no good because the world of work, sadness, poverty and violence; the real world, will catch up. Sadly, ingenuity is not the savior to ones problems, but hard work and determination upon ones self is. Many believe if you can dream it, you can achieve it, which is true. But dreaming without an action plan, as Teddy did will not fix anything; only make things worse. Picture a scenario where two parents/guardians are irritated with the decision of their child.
It’s funny how the two people who brought each of us into this world, same blood and genetics as us, can prohibit us from having a diverse and fun-filled life. As a child they’ve preached to us about the importance of being different; being a leader not a follower. What or who exactly would we be leading if our parents don’t give us the freedom to make mistakes or if our life is based on their perished goals. Parents believe that we shouldn’t voice our opinions towards them they consider it “talking back.” I believe that we should voice our opinions for what we believe in. They feel like we aren’t eligible to make our own decisions.
