O Brother Where Art Thou displays that not all life threatening experiences will change us for the better. Everette is a con man, someone who doesn’t believe in God and whenever something happens he says “There has to be a scientific explanation”.

In literature a flood represents rebirth and a new beginning. Everette, and the viewers, think that his life will get better when the flood is over, that he will believe in God, leave the con life and his wife Penny will come back to him.

It is ironic because Wang knows about the arrival of gods, but he doesn’t offer the god a place to stay, instead, he pushes the responsibility to someone else.

Despite his mentor turning on him, despite his town getting biased news and believing that he is corrupt, despite the distrust he receives form the page boys and from the reporters, despite the disdain directed at him by his fellow senators, despite having to talk for more than twenty-three hours he stands and he fights for what he believes him, waiting for anybody to trust him. And his fighting works. His mentor barges in, yelling that he, Senator Paine, lied and that Mr. Smith told the truth the entire time. The joy and elation the audience
John Bender is the “bad boy” of the 1985 film, The Breakfast Club. Portrayed by Judd Nelson, Bender is rude, sarcastic, and full of attitude. While I am entertained by Bender’s “don’t-care attitude”, what I love even more is the fact that he doesn’t appear to care that he even has an attitude in the first place. He is the kind of rudely blunt and honest that we would all like to be sometimes. He is so sarcastic that it is sometimes too ridiculous and mean to be considered just “sarcastic”.
The quote “Sometimes nothing happens for hours on end; then - all of a sudden- “over she comes!” - rifle grenades - Minnies - and those horrid little things like pineapples - you know.” This quote shows that Hardy is Flippant and he doesn’t show treat things with respect, it shows he is trivialising the war and as well it tells the audience that the soldiers receive bad training as you would expect them to use the correct terminology. The quote “ By the , you know the big German attack’s expected any day now?” In this quote Hardy is informing Osborne and he is also gloating as he won’t be there because he is being relieved. The quotes “are you here for six days” and “then I should think you’ll get it - right in the neck” The quotes show
This is discovered when the patriarch, Julian Hayden, says to his son Wesley “Ever since the war…Ever since Frank came home in a uniform and you stayed home, you’ve been jealous” (118). This favoritism shows what little respect Julian holds for his younger son that stems from Franks dominance between the Hayden siblings. Wes is constantly put down because of his brother’s achievements; these situations can either make or break Wesley. In all families, there is a member who thrives on ‘power trips’, and in this specific situation, it was Julian, “He wanted, he needed, power…he was a dominating man who drew sustenance and strength from controlling others” (20). Julian acquires his power through putting others down, especially Wes; this causes Wesley to have a lot of animosity towards his father.
