The film‚ ’Crash’‚ is about how Paul Haggis forces us to see other people’s perspective through racially prejudiced actions. Racism is the belief of different cultures‚ this is usually to do with one person who thinks their own race is superior and have the right to dominate or to rule others. Historical racism is where there were no rules when discriminating other peoples races and had no consequences for their actions‚ most of the time the outcome comes to physical abuse and even death.

Self-hatred can ruin your life if you let it control your thoughts and actions. This is one of the many themes in “Mirror Image” and I think it is the most important. Humans have a tendency to dislike themselves and only see their faults. The first sentence‚ “If only there were no mirrors” talks about how she doesn’t actually want to see how she looks and that life would be easier without seeing how you look all the time. Alice had a brain transplant and since she has a different body she has started

To Kill A Mockingbird—Response Harper Lee’s book‚ “To Kill a Mockingbird‚” is‚ in my opinion‚ a book with a diverse collection of messages‚ skillfully woven into an interesting and engaging story. It seems to me‚ though‚ that the book is very focused on symbolism. The symbol of mockingbirds is reoccurring in the book. It appears in the title‚ it is suggested in various characters and situations‚ and in parts of the book it is stated explicitly. For example‚ on page 90‚ Atticus told Scout and Jem

Lincoln Response Paper There is a lot that happened in the movie last week. Overall I liked it. It was interesting to see what it was like back then. Some of my favorite parts are where Lincoln tells his stories. I was watching it and paid attention to how he said it. In that very soft and slow tone‚ he told the members‚ with almost no emotion until the endings. If I remember right Lincoln woke some of his employees up around three a.m. to try to decide if he should pardon a young man who took

Although the actual motive for killing was different in each of the novels Perfume and Frankenstein‚ it seems there were a few underlying similarities in the events that led up to the each character becoming a serial killer. In spite of the fact that each novel is about the progression of the main character’s serial killings‚ I still believe there is a clear moral message present in both the novels. In the novel Perfume‚ Grenouille is a young man who grows up never knowing a sense of belonging

Tolerance is a very dull virtue. It is boring. It has always had a bad press. It is negative. It merely means putting up with people‚ being able to stand things.
