    The movie Hacksaw Ridge‚ written by Robert Schenkkan and Andrew Knight and directed by Mel Gibson was in my opinion a really good movie‚ especially knowing that the movie based was on a true story.

Although the author makes a point to tell the reader‚ through Samson Low‚ that the animal does not symbolize anything or mean anything‚ in fact‚ "He stands for nothing" (280)‚ several arguments can be made to contradict this. One could argue
