Watching the movie Indiana Jones The Raiders of the Lost Ark was great to feel like you're there. And you can tell there a relationship between Jones and Marion because they seem to have already met and have a past relationship and to pick up back where they left off and helping with that happening in the movie helped me find the theme of the movie i’m not gonna lie was very difficult but I found a couple of possible themes one theme I picked was action. Action because there was a lot of action in the movie with all the fighting, guns, fire, and jumping i thought that if they took out of that then the movie would be like ten to five minutes long. Another theme i thought was a possibility was mystery. Mystery because they go on hunts for treasure…
In my essay I chose to write about Henry Repeating Rifles. I choose to write about this because it was the first repeating rifle designed and patented and it changed the civil war hugely. The repeating rifle was made in 1860 by Benjamin Tyler Henry. It took him three years for him design the repeating rifle. The henry rifle shot a .44-40 or .45 long colt a more powerful round for that time. For a civil war soldier it was his point of pride and would often brag about it in letters back home calling it his “Sixteen” for the amount of rounds it held.…
The article ‘“Making Men” At Ford: Ethnicity, Race, and Americanization During the Progressive Period” by Georgios Paris Loizides examines a side of the Ford Company that is less known. Loizides reveals the focus of his research by saying, “Its focus was to explore the human engineering project of the Ford Sociological Department, particularly the Department's efforts to instill a set of values and attitudes in the company's workforce during the Progressive period” (Loizides, 111). The goal of the article is mainly to declare the real meaning behind the words used in company documents as well as how the company’s views affected immigrants. The thesis of the paper is, “Indeed, this study shows that Ford’s sociological project was an importnt…
Upon returning from war, Lyman observes Henry is overwhelmed by the freedoms of everyday life. He describes Henry as “jumpy and mean” and only finds him “still” in front of the TV.

His hopes of Henry returning back to normal diminish as he realizes their interactions are no longer the same. Lyman is forced to accept their limited, superficial dialogues. As an…

In the film ‘The Last of The Mohicans’ directed by Michael Mann, an important idea that was shown throughout the film is loss of innocence. Loss of innocence is something that often involves a new understanding of the nature of humanity and its potential for good or evil. Cora is a character that portrays this theme well. The director uses close ups, medium shots and point of view shots to capture Cora evolving into a strong and courageous woman.…

She immediately responds with “you look like a gangster” and Henry’s masculinity is threatened as he lets out a smile reminding the audience of his age. However, Scorsese reaffirms his masculinity immediately as the plot quickly advances to years in the future. The adult version of Henry is a spitting image of the adult gangsters from his youth. The gangster appearance from head to toe establishes his masculinity and admiration for his higher-ranked gangsters. The ever-present suits and polished shoes define their lifestyles, by dressing more masculine than their non-gangster counterparts. The lavish clothes appear to be a failed attempt to exert their sophistication, adding to their gangster…

On his first encounter with battle, Henry’s fears get the best of him. He realizes as they are facing the enemy ranks, that he is living a horrible nightmare. In chapter six of the book, it describes Henry as follows; “Into the youth’s eyes there came a look that one can see in the orbs of a jaded horse. His neck was quivering with nervous weakness and the muscles of his arm felt numb and bloodless… He waited in a… horrified, listening attitude.” It is at this time in the story that we see Henry realize that battle is not all that he dreamed it would be. While experiencing the fear of the other men around him, we see Henry give into his own fear and nervousness. As shown in chapter six, Henry runs.…
Martin Scorsese does an exquisite job of making this film real. When Henry is still young, his innocence is displayed so subtly, but with profound clarity. The same can be said for all the scenes in the movie. The characters often seem to live in a different world, with their frequent killings and the absence of emotion that they display. Then all of a sudden, you'll find yourself identifying with the character, and they will seem so classically human. The Gangster, as Robert Warshow puts it, is a “quintessential 'tragic hero', a character whose very nature and deeds ultimately condemn them to a short and fruitless existence, outside of the boundaries of normal society”. The Gangster's place within cinema is an important one, and the genre has now developed to a point of sophistication far beyond the flailing reach of the petty criminals on which it was based.…

Before lieutenant Henry had experienced the consequences of the cruelty he experienced, he was very loyal to his country and his men. When, for example, he resorted to shooting and killing the engineer who refused to help the men with their army ambulances, Henry was overcome with his duty to his men and thought only of being loyal and dedicated (180). However, as he grew wary and distressed, his ambitions for his cause grew fainter and became unimportant in his mind. The cruelty of the events that unfolded caused for a political upheaval among the army, functioning as a stressor among their job and allowing for a drift away from nationalism. As Henry became more aware of his place in the army, he mentioned, “I was always embarrassed by the words sacred, glorious, and sacrifice and the expression in vain” (161). With an American heritage and culture in his background, the victim was no longer a nationally motivated lieutenant due to the political factor of cruelty, shot soldier on 180. The political factor primarily impacted the solider and the army, by creating a less motivated group of men in the pursuit of Italian victory.…
