Gerima is very strategic in the way he transitions from one scent to another which makes the film very unique. He uses music and images as well as background voices. For example, in the beginning of the movie, he uses the sounds of Sankofa’s drums as well as the image of the Virgin Mary, to show Joe’s internal conflict. It is a very difficult technique to use, which shows that Gerima is a very skilled filmmaker. Sankofa shows us that culture can never be preserved if we don’t go back and trace our roots.

The Blind Side The Blind Side, is a movie based on the true story of professional football player Michael Oher, and his pre-professional career and the events leading up to it.

Michael Oher had just committed to attending the University of Mississippi and in this scene Ms. Granger interrogates Michael under the suspicion of his adopted family and tutor trying to be “boosters” for the University.

Dr. King fought for equal justice for all races and gender to love one another and eliminate violence.

During halftime of Super Bowl XLVI, automaker Chrysler aired a commercial featuring actor/director Clint Eastwood. The commercial, titled "Halftime in America," used Eastwood's gravelly voice and numerous patriotic images to associate the can-do spirit of America with Chrysler's new line of cars. Eastwood's history of playing tough-minded roles allowed the audience to tie his image to that of the American auto industry in general and to Chrysler in particular. Of the three techniques the one that will most likely persuade me is pathos. Since I am an emotional person at times this will probably persuade me to buying a product or contributing to a cause.

The Blind Side In the film "The Blind Side" directed by John Lee Hancock, there are multiple events that greatly effect the main characters.

We see in the film that the Tuohy's adopting Mike effects his education, his support network, and his perception of the world that he lives in. In this essay, I will be discussing how this event profoundly impacted Michael's life by these three implications.
However, this gets out of control, as Mega Mind slowly turns into the good guy in the movie, rather than Metro man, and Titan is wreaking havoc. Mega Mind realized that the conflict between him and Metro Man, although at the time did not seem positive, it was, and it brought forth change in society. The symbolic interaction theory applies to this movie well because it says in order for society to thrive, there needs to be constant interaction between members of the society. In this movie, Mega Mind and Metro Man interact constantly, while I’m assuming other members of society do as well. Interacting with other people regularly starts slowly turning that person into the people they are interacting with.
The selected passage is from Chinua Achebe’s award winning novel: “Things Fall Apart”. Published in 1958, two years before the independence of Nigeria. With a strong purpose to present a dynamic and complex society to the Western audience who perceived the African society and cultures as primitive or undeveloped. Achebe uses intimate relations between the reader and the characters to really insert the reader into the Igbo culture and portray it’s beauties and also its downsides before and after the arrival of Christian missionaries, strong imagery is used to deliver a strong and exhilarating message to the audience from other continents that have been reading misinterpreted novel by writers such as Joseph Conrad or Joyce Cary, whom are both from the Western world and have first hand experience with African culture, Achebe felt that he needed to express a different point of view and not just another interpretation. Firstly, to sum up this detail and deceit filled extract, we can contemplate that it shows the beginning of the “journey” towards the inhumane slaughter, or so said “sacrifice” of Ikemefuna, a fifteen-year-old boy from the Mbaino clan who is thrown at Umuofia as a sacrifice for the killing of one Umuofian woman, after three years and close interaction with Okonkwo’s family, the elders order Ikemefuna to be killed.
