Born in East L.A. We watched Born in East L.A. for our in class movie. I enjoyed it a lot. I’ve never seen this movie‚ which is surprising because I’ve seen most movies with Cheech in it.

Born In the U.S.A Bruce Springsteen hides the message he wants to get across by having an upbeat song that repeats “Born in the U.S.A.”. With the rollicking rhythm‚ enthusiastic chorus‚ and patriotic album cover‚ it is easy to think this has more to do with American pride than Vietnam shame.

Grendel and Born of Man and Woman were similar in surprisingly many ways. The biggest point of comparison between these two works is the human/monster ambiguity that is present. Both of them make if difficult to decipher whether or not the main character is really human or not. They each have very human-like characteristics‚ but there are many things that point to them each not being human. For instance‚ Grendel is obviously not human by the way humans react to him‚ and from the description of his

Born free merely means not born into slavery. But it is arguable whether anyone is "born free". We are all enslaved by society to some degree. As a child we are at the mercy of our parents and teachers. Our parents can screw us up so easily with wrong food ‚ wrong support‚ wrong advice‚ etc. Our teachers can fill our minds with the wrong ideas and knowledge. But we have to do what they say.
