Kemper’s mother had sent him to live with his grandparents because she was tired of his eccentric behavior. Edmund Kemper, seventeen at the time, decided to shoot his grand mother “just to see how it felt” and eventually shot his grandfather when he returned home. He was sent to a mental asylum later for his actions but proved to his psychologist, through assistant work and studies, that he was deemed normal enough for release including expunging his juvenile records.

Anita den Baars Student ID: 5548772 GEOG 219 Film Reflection: Rabbit Proof Fence (2002) Word Count: 725 Due: 4pm, Thursday 18th August Tutor: Adrian During the movie Rabbit Proof fence many of the different themes were portrayed. Two young girls fight against the persistent governmental forces for wishes to get rid of the ‘half cast’ (half white European and half aboriginal) generation so that a line could be drawn between the two ethnicities. One of the main themes for me was the fact that the sovereignty of many children living at the makeshift camps was taken from them. The way situated power was thrown around by the Europeans to do whatever they could despite the emotional, social and physical harm that was caused simply to achieve disposal of this “half cast generation” was sickening. Another point that I found quite moving is the strong use of ‘othering’ in the movie.

Muir’s sterilization is part of a progression towards forced sterilization and eugenics that began in the 19th century.

Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee Movie Review The movie was made to show how the Indians in the United States were treated so unfairly by the United States government. The Indians were the first on this land but the settlers were determined that they had more right to the land than the Indians did.

He went on to learn and to be very well educated and became a doctor. For a while he worked for the government trying to help with Indian right, and settlement separation.
In the Australia film RABBIT PROOF FENCE 3 Aboriginal girls are forcibly removed from their families. The year is 1931 and they were taken from Jigalona WA 1500 miles to Moore riues to be trained as domestic servants. The Australian prime minister, Kevin Rudd, yesterday issued the text of the long-awaited apology to the country's Aboriginal population citing the "profound suffering, grief and loss" inflicted on them by decades of abuse and mistreatment. His words, contained in an Australian parliamentary motion, were directed to the "stolen generations" - the tens of thousands of mixed-race children taken from their families in a strategy of white assimilation only abandoned in 1970. But he also said sorry to all of Australia's indigenous people who still live on the margins of society, saying that in the future he wanted them to have the same opportunities as other Australians.
In the beginning of the movie, I believe that Shindler was doing what he was doing out of selfishness and for his own gain. Yes he was still risking his life but not for the right reasons. Later in the movie, when he is out horse riding with his mistress, he witnessed the Kraków Ghetto Massacre. He saw the people being chased out of their “homes.” This is also where he saw the little girl in the red coat for the first time. The picture of innocence, walking among the worst evil in the world.

The animals, seeing the fall of their hero, fought harder than ever, from sadness and the desire for revenge. “Long Live Animal Farm!” Snowball pounced on Mr. Jones, knocking his rifle out of his hand with ease. Meanwhile, the cowardly Napoleon tried to sneak away from the chaos within the cowshed, only stopped by a rugged man, who spat, “you’re not goin’ anywhere!” Napoleon took to his heels and fled, with the man close behind, brandishing his long stick. The human invaders were desperate. The animals fought with renewed courage and determination due to Boxer’s death, but their stamina was giving way.
Reverend Lancelot Threlkeld also witnessed the abduction of two young Aboriginal girls. Two little girls, while waiting to board a train, were taken away by the colonists for the colonist’s own personal gain. Reverend Lancelot, who observed the colonists at the station, recounts what he saw; “They [the British colonists] reserved two small girls about seven years old for lascivious purposes”(Welsh 180). The girls were both forcibly taken from their families who were given no reason for the abduction. Abducted girls usually became spouses.
