My favorite movie of all time is Pulp Fiction. When I first watched this movie I fell in love with it as soon as I started watching it. I had never been so enthralled by a film until I saw Pulp Fiction. This piece of cinematic history is one of the best movies of all time and for good reason. Pulp Fiction has everything; great characters, great story, amazing performances, amazing soundtrack and so much more that I could write an entire paper on why this film is so amazing. After I first watched the movie, I discussed the contents of the film with my father and I talked to him about the symbolism the movie has.

Before he kills a person he quotes the bible verse Ezekiel 25:17. This passage of the bible refers to a system of values which makes a man live a good life with moral decisions.

In the film, Jules even says “I’ve been saying that shit for years, and if you heard it – that meant your ass. I never gave much thought to what it meant – I just thought it was some cold-blooded shit to say to a motherfucker before I popped a cap in his ass.” This quote means a lot to the movie because the verse Jules quotes are not even in the bible but that actually connects with a lot of conversation in the movie. A lot of the conversation in Pulp Fiction is about the names of anything. What do you call a Big Mac? What do you call a Whopper? When Ringo calls the waitress Garcon only to find out that Garcon is not the correct word and the most important quote in the movie is said by the character Butch. When a Hispanic cab driver asks him what his name is, he replies with “This is America, honey; our names don’t mean shit.” This quote is important to all the symbolism behind Pulp Fiction it shows that no matter what these characters do or who they are and it doesn’t matter what their name is. Jules quotes the bible before he kills people, but he might as well just be quoting Johnny Cash or Marlon
Ignoring its effects on language, the King James Bible also had a profound influence on the culture of both its time and the modern era. By spreading the book to nearly all of Europe in the 1600s, it could have a significant influence on art and literature. Literature like Paradise Lost and The Chronicles of Narnia that reference the Bible would most likely not exist today without King James. These thousands of works with their roots in the Bible have sculpted western culture for hundreds of years;
Christina Rossetti was a noteworthy Victorian writer who additionally composed fiction and true to life composition for grown-up, kid, and particularly devotional audiences Christina Rossetti (1830-94) merits the watchful documentation that Ives so effectively and outstandingly gives.

The Lion King: A Religious Piece Of American Popular Culture The twenty-first century is a time in which the generations are unable to escape the influence of American popular culture.

tone for the novel and unveils Ezeulu's internal conflict. The allusion here is that this impending blindness is a threat, for it will interfere with his ordering of religious festivals, and will even mean that his tribal influence will cease to be felt among his people if he fails to observe the progression of the moon. If his religious responsibility will be challenged, his political responsibility will be in danger. He endeavors to console himself by imagining that he is as fit "as any young man
