August Wilson plays always have at least a small orientation to religious or spiritual significance in the theme of the play. “Joe Turner’s Come and Gone” is one of his plays that use religious theories and imagery to exemplify the struggles of post-slavery Africans in America. The author illustrates how the characters in this play must resolve their religious beliefs to overcome a hindrance.

Joe Turner's Come and Gone is a play demonstrating the movement of African Americans to freedom in 1910. The play is set in a boarding house which is a transitional place for newly freed African American to harbor while they adjust their newly-found freedom. The Images of travel and the use of the phrase "the road" interposes on the different transitions each character has during the play; the play examines how African Americans' search for their cultural identity, following the repression of slavery. For many this involved the physical migration from the South to the North in an attempt to find a new start: " In an effort to flee the discriminations they faced in the south and hoping to find financial success, many blacks migrated

Lastly, the loss of innocence throughout the transition from adolescence into adulthood plays a large role in the development of a new person in a new era. J.D Salinger, in The Catcher in the Rye, highlights this occurrence constantly throughout the novel by showing contrasting moments in Holden’s thoughts and opinions. The war has ended in the recent past, and therefore the current society is working towards getting back to normal, and therefore Holden loses his innocence during this challenging and exciting time period. In the beginning, he mentions that, upon the death of his brother, his family “[was] going to have [him] psychoanalyzed and all, because [he] broke all the windows in the garage” (Salinger 38). This shows the moment that

Written shortly after the conclusion of the second world war, Sylvia Plath published ‘Daddy’ to great controversy, with critics denouncing the poem’s many insensitive uses of Holocaust imagery. ‘Daddy’ is not, however, a poem that minimizes the tremendous atrocities endured by the Jewish people, but rather enlarges the reader’s understanding of how devastating are the effects of abuse by parallelizing the suffering of the Jews with the psychological trauma of abuse.

The decision to lie and hide Amanda was done with the intention of benefitting her. Interestingly enough, Patrick does commit one act of blatant Utilitarianism, even though in the end of the film he chooses the opposite approach. During the raid on the crack house, he finds the body of another kidnapped boy. The sight of an innocent child brutally raped and murdered by the sociopath who claims it was an ‘accident,’ is too much for Patrick. He exacts retribution by executing the defenseless criminal in cold blood. This decision, although motivated primarily by anger (presumably,) is also utilitarian in nature. The benefit society derives from the prompt execution of the criminal outweighs the unhappiness caused by him. If freed, even with a life sentence in prison, he is still taking away tax dollars from the public welfare. His death plainly benefits society. Ironically, it is this incident which causes Patrick to call the police in the ending, his guilty conscience drives him to his eventual decision to return Amanda to her biological mother.

Gone Baby Gone directed by Ben Affleck is centered on the kidnapping of a four-year old girl named Amanda. This movie is based in Boston in the Dorchester area. Even though this movie is centered on a kidnapping, there are other crimes being committed. In this film there is abuse of justice, negligence, police corruption, child molestation, drug abuse, and murder. Each of the main characters in this film commits a crime. The main characters in this film are Patrick Kenzie; the private investigator, Jack Doyle; the leader of Crimes Against Children Taskforce, Remy Bressant; a police officer, Lionel McCready; Helene’s brother who is married to Bea McCready and hires Patrick, Helene McCready; Amanda’s mother who uses drugs and

Broken Lives written by Estelle Blackburn is an expository text, which through research has presented that nineteen year old John Button was wrongfully convicted of killing his seventeen year old girlfriend Rosemary Anderson in a hit and run. I believe through my reading of Broken Lives that the key factor of expository texts is to explore awkward questions deeply and critically. In this case who was guilty of killing Rosemary Anderson in a hit and run, John Button or Eric Edgar Cooke, and the effect of Cooke’s crimes and murders had on people.

For Kant the presences of the good will are what make an action morally good, regardless of its consequences, and Patrick was thinking that his decision was right. I think that he will be taking care of this girl forever, because after he found Amanda he realizes that her mother will never change so he is going to feel a lot of responsibility with this girl. A detail that call my attention was that the girl’s mother said to Patrick that Amanda’s doll name was Mirabelle, and at the end of the movie when he ask to Amanda for her doll name, she answered that its name was Annabelle. This little detail means that her mother do not even know which is her daughter’s doll name, and she do not pay attention to the beautiful girl, that’s why I think that Patrick will always be taking a look to the little girl. Definitely according to Kant theory it was the right decision besides the consequences it can bring
