    The book, Where The Red Fern Grows by Wilson Rawls was made in 1961, then turned into a motion film movie in 1974. There were many similarities and differences between the movie and the book. Some things in the book didn't happen in the movie, and the movie moved a lot faster. The movie was more sad than the book though because it showed more detail when the dogs died. In my personal opinion, the book was way better.…

    The interviews I have chosen for this assignment is the Julian Bond and John Hope Franklin interview. I find it interesting that both men are drawn to Thomas Jefferson because of the actions he had done during the period of the Revolution. With Thomas Jefferson being label as a Renaissance man by John Hope Franklin and an agronomist and an avid bibliophile. I am fascinated on how John Hope Franklin expressed why he was drawn to Thomas Jefferson, he stated that it was because he declared that he was the author of the Declaration of Independence, the author of Virginia Statute of Religious Liberties, and the founding father of the University of Virginia. It has dawned to me that Julian Bond had also expressed that Thomas Jefferson's intellect was far ranged and that made him one of the fascinating…

    Published in 1937, John Steinbeck wrote a moving and powerful novel titled, Of Mice and Men. Steinbeck’s reliance on textual description makes the work accessible to young readers, as does his use of foreshadowing and reoccurring images. Equally important is the way Steinebeck intertwines loneliness, friendship, and sadness. A professor at the University of San Jose stated, “The near impossibility of attaining the American Dream in the face of the huge and random challenges, like natural and economic disasters became the central theme of Steinbeck’s novel” (“Of Mice and Men – Critical Reception” 1). Marxist and New Criticism were the two approaches applied to the novel Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck.…

    “Five Myths about Immigration” is an essay written by David D. Cole which originally appeared in The Nation on October 17, 1994. The essay is a look at the ignorance and misinterpretation or “myths” as Cole calls them that immigrants are faced with every day in the U.S. His credibility on the subject speaks for itself. A Professor of Law at Georgetown University, after his graduation from Yale Law School, Professor Cole served as a law clerk to Judge Arlin M. Adams of the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. Not long after beginning his clerkship, Cole became a staff attorney for the Center for Constitutional Rights. He litigated a number of major First Amendment cases. His most notable case, Texas v. Johnson, 491 U.S. 397 (1989) established that the First Amendment does in fact protect flag burning. He is also the legal affairs correspondent for The Nation magazine. He still volunteers as a staff attorney for the Center (2006, Georgetown University Faculty profile). The question at hand is if in fact this essay’s point of view still holds true in 2006. I have chosen two of the five myths to analyze their content and compare against data from 1994 to the present.…

    An influential person is someone who never gives up. They also change how either one or even one hundred people live their life. Abraham was the sixteenth president of the United States who tried and failed at first but didn’t give up and became a very influential person. Lincoln grew up very unprivileged in the aspect of education; he tried and failed at an election, but won the presidential election, won the Civil War, and passed one of the most important proclamations in history. These events make Abraham Lincoln the most influential person in history.…

    The structure and style of John Steinbeck's Of Mice and Men contribute to the conclusions which can be drawn from this novel, and this can be seen particularly in the novel's introductions, where it can be seen that the conclusions drawn are inherent. Two introductions in particular express the novel's conclusions: the introduction to the bunk house and its inhabitants, and the introduction to a death on the ranch, where conclusions about identity, loneliness, hope, and the inevitability of the failure of the American Dream during the Depression years are reflected.…

    This unforgettable novel, East of Eden, was incredible for its time and without a doubt is Steinbeck’s most memorable and philosophically poetic classic. Reading a book like this really made me come to the realization that even though this book was set in the late 19th-20th century that the meaning behind the message is more relevant than ever before. I suppose there is more than one message but not one is more or less important than the other. The biggest and most obvious theme that Steinbeck conveyed was the idea that good and evil are constantly at war with one another but are equally attracted to each other at the same time. The second principle was that in order to change the fate of your circumstances and your future generations you must first look inside and change yourself. Be the change you would like to see in the world and perhaps you may view “problems of the world” differently. Last but not least, I really feel that this whole plot and theme echoed the idea of acceptance. That truth is acceptance and compassion for yourself and all living things. The incapability to understand a persons’ differences and choosing to judge based off of biased-beliefs is what dictates “good” and “evil.” In other words judgments and preferences is what holds people back from understanding something in wholeness. Once that happens people may try desperately to change something/someone that is already divinely perfected based off of those “preferences.” Never coming to the realization that by judging someone/something harshly based off of their differences you have now judged yourself and caused more harm to yourself than what it is you are judging.…
