Kaelin Davison Professor Ortiz Englsih1A 26 April 2013 Avatar: A Misunderstood Theme Throughout the history of films produced in Hollywood, we have had those certain fables or stories about imperialism of European explorers. They come in, plunder all of the native’s resources and minerals, and run them out of their land.

Tony Kushner was writing in a completely different time in America, and his character Joe deals with a crisis about his sexuality in Angels in America. Joe is seen to deal with the social stigmas and problems to do with homosexuality at the time of the play, and his interaction with other characters gives the audience insight into his struggle. Despite the differences between the two character depictions, the post-modernist theatre of Kushner has been influenced by O’Neill’s experiments with expressionist theatre. Eugene O’Neill wrote The Hairy Ape in the early 20th century, and it premiered on stage in March of 1922. The social and economic context in which O’Neill was formulating Yank as a character plays a role in his final depiction.
One of these secrets is that although every citizen believes himself to be happy, he has been genetically engineered to think so and is a government ploy to maintain “social stability”. Although the world is now dominated by this system, there are many “savage centres” which still exist and are home to the “old, imperfect” humans. These “savages” are natural, unconditioned people who still give birth. When John, a savage born naturally of a mother from the World State, is brought to the outer world by Bernard, a man who feels out of place in his society, the dystopian nature of

But if you look behind the ignorance you realize that everyone and everything is being controlled. In “Brave New World” the controllers keep the society stable by determining people’s lives. Even before birth, each person has a predestined life that they are to fulfill. Babies are born from test tubes, eliminating family and giving them a lack of person identity. Without family they are able to reconstruct society because instead of being known as a unit, they are all individuals.

Vinton E. Breedlove Western Governors University American Me, by Ninfa Miranda-Maloney, is about an immigrant from Mexico who comes to America searching for the American dream. She shows a racial aspect when she says, “kissed your white land, broke my back, sweat a few tears for a piece of the dream”, (Maloney, n.d. lines 27, 28, 29).

The worker still works in the onion field 50 years after he came to America.
The Biology Behind Physical Attraction “We do not marry, for ourselves, whatever we say; we marry for our posterity,” said 16th century French essayist Montaigne. Although Montaigne wrote this five centuries ago, two centuries before Darwin introduced his theories of evolution and natural selection, his words proved to be way before his time. We would like to think physical attraction is relative, that love is blind, and that it’s all about personality. But biologist have evidence that say that humans look for certain physical signs in our potential mates as indicators for things such as health and fertility. Factors such as facial symmetry, waist to hip ratio, and even smell are all things we are subconsciously taking in when looking at potential mates and evaluating their attractiveness.
