It is more like instant recognition.” This is how OSU English Professor Dr. James Hsu began his comparative studies Love in World Literature class last winter quarter. He went on to teach that romance is an important human characteristic and therefore it would only seem natural that everyone in this room has a favorite romantic film. But how can we determine America’s best romantic film?
Born in 1902, Carl Rogers was brought up in a very religious family who believed in the virtues of hard work. At the age of twelve, his family bought a farm – Rogers believed one of their reasons for doing so to remove the adolescents of the family from the temptations of suburban life. It was in this new farm environment that Rogers demonstrated much aptitude and interest in science, including scientific controls. Rogers early years in college opened up his understanding of the world. Here, Rogers was given the opportunity to travel to China, see the impact World War II had on French German relations (they hated one another, despite each being a likeable individual), was forced to expand his thinking outside the religious beliefs his
Witham: WW2 DBQ Dan Gable, a twentieth century Olympic wrestler, once said, “Gold medals aren’t really made of gold. They’re made of sweat, determination and a hard-to-find alloy called guts.” These words capture the essence of European view on sports in the early 1900s. Cultural advancements changed the sport world. People saw it differently in terms of a way of life, a war, and even acceptance of women in the field. Sir Robert Baden-Powell, the man who founded the Boy Scouts, taught boys how to survive in the wilderness, but he also searched for ways to instill in them an inner honor and respect.

Candice Millard’s harrowing account of Roosevelt’s 1913 expedition down the River of Doubt is primarily a biography of the former president and his journey, but is also a tale of caution. Millard’s critical treatment of Roosevelt’s story focuses on the carelessness that went into planning, supplying, and organizing the expedition. Roosevelt prominently displays this carelessness, choosing not only the journey with the “greatest unforeseen difficulties” for himself and his men, but also by permitting unproven crewmembers to make crucial decisions without any oversight. Due to early physical problems in his childhood, Roosevelt embraced a “strenuous lifestyle” to overcome any obstacle through sheer will and determination. This unique outlook put others in harm’s way, including his own son, who accompanied Roosevelt strictly out of concern for his father’s health.
Chen Kaige's 1993 film Farewell My Concubine opens with what the director portrays as the denouement of revolutionary Chinese history, the days following the end of the Cultural Revolution. To Chinese viewers and those who are knowledgeable about China's 20th century, the Cultural Revolution is a known quantity, a vital element to any story that spans the great mass of time that Kaige documents in his film. To those who are neophytes in this history the film's focus pulls back from this final scene into a retrospective of the main characters' shared pasts. In this way Kaige gives us an ending point and reverts immediately to the starting place – granting us a glimpse of how the characters and China itself had ended up the way it did. But throughout the movie the Cultural Revolution remains a climax, a point in the narrative that all the other narrative arcs bend inexorably toward.
