Can Casablanca Be Considered Propaganda Propaganda is a view aimed to affect the behaviour or attitude of a community; it is mostly spread through the media, especially during wartime. Casablanca can be considered propaganda because it sends a message of how to behave at war, it shows how much better America is than the rest of the world and it portrays the Nazis as arrogant people. It specifically shows that America is a good country, it is all right to do bad things for the right reason and that you should be patriotic. Michael Curtiz, director of Casablanca, shows that America is a nice place to live by the use of eye level and reaction shots. He uses eye level and reaction shots to show how much people want to move to America.
Killing Lincoln The Shocking Assassination that Changed America Forever At Lincoln’s second inaugural on Saturday, March 4, 1865, the surroundings were hectic as a large crowd stood out in heavy rain, and Vice President Andrew Johnson embarrassed all with a “drunken, twenty-minute ramble.” Lincoln’s genuine plea for reunification was an inspirational relief. Rather quickly we are shown the approach of John Wilkes Booth, who lunged at Lincoln during his speech, later telling the policeman that he’d only, stumbled. O’ Riley then writes that there is “a most powerful evil...bearing down on Abraham Lincoln,”. But, events prove that it was not completely powerful. Booth killed Lincoln, but his own wrong ruined him.
The Reluctant fundamentalist shows us that nostalgia is a poison In Mohsin Hamid’s The Reluctant Fundamentalist, apparently is shown the other aspect, despite the beneficial side as a salve, but the far lethal side of nostalgia. The astonishing issue---the September 11, undoubtedly turns the USA’s theme from “openness” to “nostalgia”, and as a dire turning-point to be in the story, triggers subsequent changes. The same as America, Erica, who is assumed to be a symbolic character reflects the USA, also gets lost into the endless reminiscence of the bygone affections with Chris, finally destroy her. Nevertheless, these remind Changez of his relatives, who are addicted to nostalgia as well. Strikingly, Hamid sets these enormously realistic and secular scenes to the readers in order to substantiate the havoc of odious recalling back, which is with blindness and narrow-vision, septic grudge and mutiny, like a chronic but fatal poison.
Joe Marinaccio Mrs. McCarthy English 10 21 March, 2015 The Flag Raising at Iwo Jima World War II was one of the greatest and bloodiest wars in world history.

At the age of 51, in March 1933, FDR was elected president during one of the lowest points of the Great Depression. On the night before his inauguration he instilled confidence and rallied the public when he told them "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself."

Depicting it the narrator inserts different clichés that are typical of newspapers (‘About that time… the country embarked upon a disastrous campaign’, ‘every sacrifice was demanded of Braddle’, ‘increasing by day or by night’, ‘the sinews of war’). There is also a simile – ‘it seemed as powerful as eternity’, hyperbole – ‘drowned in blood’. Till the end of this war people have to pay tribute.
