Steven Spielberg uses the aesthetic of technology and aliens in Close Encounters of the Third Kind to creates a theme of wisdom and the quest of knowledge.

Walter is one of the characters who influence the plot the most. He lies and is always arguing with someone. For example, when George asked Walter if he has been to New York. Walter said, “Plenty of times” when he really hasn’t been at all. Also, Walter insults George by saying “Why all you college boys wear them fagg***- looking white shoes?”. This says Walter doesn’t really care about other people’s feelings. Also, his actions,” (An irritable mimic)

It appears he wants to be rich, or giving; but what he is really pursuing is being seen as a giver. Therefore, he will never become rich or benevolent, because he has too goals that can not both be accomplished together. Walter wishes to be man of the house, and to have everyone thank him. His self-image is built on the belief that if he can not be the best among his family, he has lost. If Beneatha becomes a doctor, he can no longer claim to be bread winner of the house; and because Mama has money, he has to compete with her, too. For Walter, if you are not the master of the house that people revere, you are

In the film, Walter goes against the notion of Friere’s ‘oppressor.’ Walter is conscious of his privilege and uses it to humanize Tarek, Zainab and Mouna. At no time does he regard them as ‘enemies’, but just the opposite, as those that he can learn and become enriched by. Conversely, Tarek’s captors and detainers unilaterally take away all his rights and access to legal representation, have SELF-AWARENESS THOUGH FILM 6. him incarcerated and dehumanized, perceived as an ‘enemy’, and shipped out of the country.

A turning point for Walter was the discovery of a short story by James Baldwin about the black urban experience. It gave him permission to write about his own experience.

Dr. Strangelove is one of the many masterpieces made by the great Stanley Kubrick. The movie was made in 1964 at the Shepperton Studios in London, UK. The time the movie was made is of great importance, in fact, it was made only two years after the Cuban Missile Crisis. Kubrick pictures, in an extremely comical yet somewhat serious way, what the world would look like after one of the two forces (U.S vs. USSR) was triggered in initializing nuclear warfare.

According to Philip Emeagwali, “The hardships that I encountered in the past will help me succeed in the future.” In my own words this quote addresses that hardships creep around every corner and if you face them determinedly you will end up stronger in the future. This quote relates to the novel The Outsiders by informing people that tough moments in life are hard to overcome. Just like Ponyboy has to learn to overcome the death of his best friend, Johnny. The main theme that S.E. Hinton tries to convey through the novel is: hardships lurk wherever you let them. She implies that you should stay strong and courageous through tough times.

No other options are left for the American army, running from the British along side the Delaware River, fighting against deserters, disease, famine, and their major lack of artillery was no help to the cause. On the 25th of December in 1776, George Washington led his army across the Delaware River in New Jersey. In a desperate attempt to win a battle, and help motivate people to rejoin the revolution, Washington devised a plan to attack the Hessians at Trenton on Christmas night. He declared that it was victory or death, they were either going to win the battle, or they were going to die, but retreat was not an option.

Harold Crick is an IRS auditor who lives an extremely predictable lifestyle dictated by routine and numbers. In the beginning of the film “Stranger than Fiction” Harold is depicted as boring, routine, and shows signs of having Obsessive Compulsive Disorder with his endless counting of everything he sees. He lives his life to the minimum as he has no wife, social life, no real friends, and in fact, his wristwatch seems to be his only friend as he depends on timing everything down to the second, to save time. Harold continues to live every day just like the last, simply slaving through the rest of the workweek, until he hears a mysterious voice, an omniscient voice, narrating his every move day in and out. Karen Eiffel “Kay” is an esteemed novelist known for writing amazing tragedies. She has been working on her latest work but is suffering from writer’s block, and can’t figure out how exactly she wants to kill her main character, Harold Crick. During her narrations she announces Harold’s “sudden imminent death”, and he hears this with an overwhelming fear of what this means for him. The “sudden imminent death “creates an issue of time sensitivity for Harold, and is a huge part of Stranger than Fiction’s theme. Harold was completely content with his mundane life full of routine based tasks all programmed by his wristwatch. The issue of when he will die is a huge motivator for both Harold and Karen as she needs to find that perfect ending for her book. The plots are difficult

Walter was in an endless loop of doing the same thing over and over every day. His life was meaningless, he lied to himself that he was doing something significant and that he was to busy for anything else. He was so lost that no piano teacher could fix the

The film, the Untouchables, was directed by Brian De Palma. It was set in the prohibition era, which was right at the start of the 1920’s. Prohibition can be described as a law that made selling and manufacturing alcohol illegal. By putting this law into effect, it actually increased the amount of crime and violence throughout cities in the US. This was ultimately due to the rise in organized crime, also known as gangs. In the movie specifically, it was centered around the rise of the Mafia in Chicago. By looking at the production of the movie, we can see how during prohibition, the Mafia controls everything and the violence ultimately it leads to.

One of example of discrimination in the film comes from Tarek’s arrest. The NYPD assume that Tarek has jumped the turnstop while entering the subway even though he paid. When Tarek tries to tell the police that he paid for the subway ride he is ignored. Even when Walter tries to stick up for Tarek and possibly use his own white privilege to tell the police that Tarek paid he is silenced. Ethnocentrism is also displayed once Tarek is placed in the detention center because in the waiting room of the detention center is a picture of the statue of liberty, representing freedom and justice. It seems a bit ironic that a symbol for freedom and opportunity are painted on the inside of a detention center for immigrants pending deportation.
