People In Power Rich Man

The films, The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari and The
Last Laugh were very important films. They opened
new doors to cinema. They showed the world that
films dont have to leave you feeling really good
about life and the world we live in. By this I
mean that the two films listed above tell the
viewers about the power people posses and the
misuse of that power. There are different ways to
misuse power; the rich take power for granted, and
in Caligari's case, well, he madly misuses his
status as the head ...

quality or another, real or imaginary. Vanity and

from his father, when they find and steal the
robber s ship, and when the duke and the king come

Thousand Acres King Lear

It is amazing to me the extraordinary job that
Jane Smiley has done with her book A Thousand
Acres. The parallels that she draws with
Shakespeare's classic story of King Lear are
unsurpassed by any book to which I have had the
pleasure of reading. These two works represent an
excellent example of literature that is able to
engage readers young and old. In A Thousand Acres,
I read Ginny as being the reserved quiet daughter
who, up until the very end, bends to her fathers
tyranny. As a result of h...

19 Th Century Narrator Describes

within their control, but many of them were
outside of the realm of control for women. The
main point that I will focus on is how restricted
societal roles can cause insanity. I will do this
by deciphering the meaning of the yellow wallpaper
and its symbolism. In my opinion, I believe that
