    He was there in the shadows silently watching over them, ready to protect them. "We’d better keep this and the blanket to ourselves. Someday, maybe, Scout can thank him for covering her up" (Lee 96). As Scout was standing freezing watching Miss Maudie’s house burn down in, Boo Radley comes to warm her up and protect her from the elements by placing a blanket around her shoulder without her knowing. This similar to how Batman presides over Gotham and how he is its silent protector. Likewise, Boo finally fulfills the prophecy by saving Jem and Scout from a Bob Ewell, who seeks retribution on Atticus by trying to kill Atticus’s children. Whereas, Batman saves Gotham from the League of Shadow, who wishes to destroy the city to end its corruption and rebuild it. Interestingly, Bob Ewell wishes to enforce the traditional values of society of white supremacy while the League of Shadows wishes to destroy society as a whole as means to purge corruption and start another cycle of rebirth . However, Boo Radley and Batman start to differ, both may be vigilantes but one is willing to kill while the other is not. Boo stabs and kills Mr. Ewell in order to protect Jem and Scout. On the other hand, Batman refuses to kill as he believes that in his own mind that to kill is to fall to the level of villains like the Joker and Bane. He learns from himself and indirectly from his former mentor Ra’s Al Ghul, that compassion is what separates and differentiates them from the villains and criminals of society. “I won't kill you, but I don't have to save you”(Batman Begins); were his final words to his former mentor and teacher Ra’s Al Ghul as he left train before its explosion. Al Ghul was genocidal terrorist that wishes to destroy civilization in order to rebuild it, Batman could not leave Al Ghul alive without risking serious consequences such as endangering the lives of many others, so given no…

    The main antagonist of the Dark Knight is the Joker. The Joker makes his debut in the opening scene, which is one of the best bank robbery scenes ever shot. Not only does The Joker rob the bank, he does so in a way in which all his criminal accomplices murder each other one by one thinking that they’ll get a bigger cut if they do. From this scene you might think that the joker is motivated by money. However, that’s not true at all. He robbed the mobs bank so he can manipulate the mob as he pleases and cause more chaos and destructions, which he does later into the movie.

    The notorious Joker is constantly giving him a new task to complete in a certain amount of time - it could be hours, days, or even weeks. This restriction of time leads Batman to constantly be on his feet, and now he is having the decision of a life time -it is the choice between life or death. His first and most important choice was who gets to live on, the district attorney Harvey Dent or his Fiancé Rachel Dawes, who is also a good friend of Batman. Batman thought about Harvey Dent before this scene, as he believed Dent could solve all of Gotham's problems, needing no hero. His decision had to be fast as they only had five minutes to choose either or. His beliefs about Dent were set aside, and he went to save his past lover and good friend Rachel Dawes, while the police department went to get Harvey Dent. Of course, it was a set up by the Joker, he sent them Dent's location rather than Rachel Dawes. This devastated Batman, the police department, and Harvey Dent; consequently this also brought a new villain in the film - Two Face, who is Harvey Dent after getting his face burned during his…

    Booker T Vs. Du Bois

    • 1214 Words

    Booker T. Washington and W.E.B. Du Bois both had their own individual approaches for dealing with Black America’s poverty, discrimination, and segregation problems at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th centuries. Their opposing strategies both greatly assisted their race through the times of struggle. They fought for the same thing, but had different ways of handling the situation in order to change the country at that time. Although WEB Du Bois’ strategy for immediate integration was a good one, I believe that Booker T Washington’s strategies of gradual integration and focusing on the black race as a whole were more appropriate for the time period of 1877-1915.…

    The clown’s maniacal cackle intensifies, his sardonic and scarred grin widening. Acting as an agent of pure chaos, the Joker’s jocular moral corruption of Gotham is crystallized ironically by the shining white knight of Gotham, district attorney Harvey Dent. A pawn in the Joker’s game, he loses his fiancé and half his face in an orchestrated explosion. Dent, the once heroic emblem of justice, is perverted by a demented individual to his ultimate physical and ethical demise, culminating in a homicidal rampage and eventual death. As Dent himself articulates, “[y]ou either die a hero, or live long enough to see yourself become the villain” (Nolan). Harvey Dent in Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight is a modern tragic hero, in that his undoing…

    Comparing Sherlock Holmes to Neville St. Clair there are obvious differences in each result to their performances; how they react to their actions and how others react to their preformed identities. With these two results we can determined which action is seen as a threat and which is seen with reward. Sherlock Holmes and Neville St. Clair both became shabbier than their normal identities, but the intent of their reason’s were different.

    From 1877 to 1915, African Americans were faced with a lot of hardships because of Jim Crow Laws, lynchings, and other forms of discrimination. During this period of time, two people in particular offered strategies for dealing with the troubles African Americans were going through. Booker T. Washington and W.E.B. Dubois offered very diverse plans of action. While Washington wanted African Americans to go to school and get educated in agriculture, Dubois wanted them to protest for their civil rights. Though Booker T. Washington and W.E.B. Dubois often had opposing strategies for achieving African American equality, each had developed strategies that were appropriate for the time period. However, due to factors present at the time, neither civil rights leader was able to develop a wholly appropriate method for equality.…

    Back in the late 1800s and early 1900s when African Americans were recognized as people by the law, there was still resistance from the majority of the country. While the constitution declared blacks equal to whites, many still didn’t believe or understand these particular views. The struggling African Americans were caught in a predicament with each other over the best way to gain respect and civil rights. So, some took to the pen and paper. Writers like Booker T. Washington and W.E.B. Du Bois agreed economically, but when it came to issues of education and politics, they differed greatly. In fact, the mid-late 1900s poet Dudley Randall depicted this debate precisely in his poem “Booker T. and W.E.B. Du Bois.” In his poem, Randall frames the debate in a rhythmic, compare and contrast manner, while making sure not to take any particular side. Instead, he led a more omniscient point of view.…

    Harvey Dent

    • 5 Pages

    Harvey Dent starts out in the film in the spotlight, brand new leader of Gotham City as the prosecutor. He is a role model of principles and law. He is unflinching and unwavering in his ambition and fight against crime. Dent tends be extraverted in his personality. He likes being in the spotlight. He likes things to be black and white because he is a very principled man. Dent does not like to make deals with criminals and he makes it very clear to everyone that he will not be bribed in any way. He will not bargain which seems like a characteristic that he was born with. He is very straight forward with people. If he does not like someone, he will make it known to that person right away. On the other side, his affections for Rachel, the deputy district attorney, are apparent as well as the audience sees them out together besides their professional relationship. (Dark Knight) The audience can tell that Dent is very meticulous and logical sometimes appearing cold but his internal passion for what he believes drive him to do the things he does. The law is his guide and he does not let emotion get the best of him until the Rachel dies because of the choices of others. Dent is an easy target because of these traits. He is very predictable. “Live to see yourself become the villain, or die a hero,” says Dent after he lives. (Dark…
