Wood also analyzes Obama’s use of references in his election night speech. He discusses how “Behind his speech were the ghosts of Lincoln’s First Inaugural” (610) as well as “the explicit reference to King’s famous phrase about how ‘the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice’” (611). Both discussions of Lincoln and Martin Luther King Jr. are included to show how Obama believed his election to be a turning point in history as Lincoln and King’s speeches were a turning point in their time period as well. It was imperative for Safire and Wood to discuss the allusions to others’ speeches in both of their analysis as without the references to others’ speeches both Lincoln and Obama’s speeches would not have had the impact and power that they did.

Renault appears to do so, but actually rings Strasser. This is another moment of dramatic irony: we know more than do Rick, Ilsa and Laszlo.

the themes and examples I feel are necessary to the topic are; The freedoms and day to day live of the Americans in this movie, Then in contrast that of the Chinese citizens in the movie and finally at how the more people discovered about the battle with Li and China how it changed there previous opinion. So lets began talking about the life of the American characters in the film, and how much freedom and individualism they are allowed to show and have. The first example, which is extremely different in both countries, is the right to Freedom of Speech. When Li attends a night club with members of the Houston Ballet, him and Dilworth have a conversation in which Dilworth points out the badge of Chairman Mao on lies shirt, Li straight away without even being asked rather defends his leader with “Yes I Chairman Mao he does good things” he then proceeds to ask Dilworth “Do you like American President?” he the receives the response “Oh Li, I don’t even like him let alone love him” Li is shocked and quickly tells Dilworth to quite down (obviously a habit developed because those who speak out against Chinese officials are prosecuted), Dilworth’s response is “This is America Li” This shows great contrast between the Freedom and Oppression. In one country you are allowed to speak up if there is something you do not agree with where as in the other you have to remain silent.
Compare and contrast the themes of freedom and oppression in this movie. Li Cunxin, a boy who ventures from childhood to maturity, from poverty to plenty, from country to city, from East to West and from oppression to freedom, was saved from a life of hardship and oppression by ballet. Li had been captured in China’s web of communism and had been brainwashed by the misleading communist teacher’s. Except for Teacher Chan, he inspired Li to better and bigger things that would pave the way for Li’s prosperous future. Li’s freedom came down to the way that teacher Chan nurtured Li’s gift into something special that would captivate an audience, inspire a nation and bring together two contrasting cultures.
(pg. 177)My guess is that it means happy.Cheerful and friendly.When we first met he was a jovial guy. Festooned:At some point during my walk, a convoy of cars, military vans, and Mercedes-Benzes festooned with national flags passed by.My guess is that it means decorated.Adorn with chains, garlands, or other decorations.My nahbors house is always festooned with lights around christmas time. Hailed:I waited in the terminal while Dr. Tamba hailed a taxi, then i ran outside and jumped in, quickly closing the door behind me. (pg.
One cause of this change could be the occurrence of the Civil Rights Movement. The Civil Rights Movement was one of the shifts that transformed the attitudes of the majority of American citizens and, according to the New Georgia Encyclopedia, made them realize that all people were entitled to live the “American dream.”Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner was made toward the end of this era, so of course there is a connection. The conflict within the movie is similar to the conflict associated with the movement because, as in both movies, the African Americans involved had to prove themselves to the opposite race. Only difference is, in the ’67 film, blacks were trying to prove their credibility to the “superior” whites, while as in Guess Who a white man had to show he was good enough for the “superior”
Holden talks to his teacher to say goodbye, since he is leaving Pencey Prep. This shows that Holden had courage and is social towards adults. A second time Holden is social is when he talks to his taxi driver. Holden invites his taxi driver to come drink with him. This is a weird thing to do but shows that Holden is very social.
Stereotyping is “exaggerated generalizations associated with a categorizing system” (Adler and Proctor 87). In the opening scene of “The Terminal” the head security officer, Dixon, is watching cameras in the airport and sees a group of Chinese tourists. He makes the generalization that Chinese tourists always carry cameras. This sets the viewer up for Dixon’s personality throughout the film. After Dixon stereotypes these Chinese tourists, he is in his office with Viktor Navorski trying to explain to him that he has no country.
