Kirikou
“Mother, deliver me or push me out into the world” is the first line spoken by Kirikou in this animated movie. The mother responded and said, “A child that can talk from his mother’s womb has the ability to come out by himself”. Consequently, the boy was born, and he cuts the umbilical cord by himself. He also named himself “Kirikou”.
Kirikou was born into an African rural setting at a period when there was a terrible sorceress named Karaba. Karaba was vicious. She had a dreadful spell that enables the spring to disappear. In addition, she enjoys manipulating and terrifying the villagers. She was feared. Most of the men that dared to fight her were either kidnapped or disappeared without traces. The villagers assumed that she ate these men.

    Background and Facts: The Japanese Navy, on December 7, 1941, attacked the United States at Pearl Harbor in Hawaii. President Franklin D. Roosevelt and the U.S. Congress declared war on Japan that same day. Japan’s attack on Pearl Harbor came with a great degree of consequences. One of those consequences was Executive Order 9066 which gave the Secretary of War the right to designate “military zones” where the government had the authority to exclude any person or group that was thought to be a possible threat to the United States and its war with Japan. Unfortunately, many of the military zones were parts of the United States, where many American citizens, which happened to be Japanese, lived.…

    In Shakespeare's Julius Caesar Marcus Brutus is the most complex character to define, but he is also the tragic hero. Although Brutus was greatly involved in Caesar's murder, it doesn't make him a villain. The audience learns of the motives which drove Brutus to action.

He does not kill Caesar because of envy, greed or for the good of himself, but he explains that he killed him "not that I loved Caesar less, but that I loved Rome more". With these words Marc Antony and the public realize he acted for Rome and for its future. In Brutus' mind his actions were the right choice to make. This makes Brutus the tragic hero in the play.…
