Colonization During the colonization period of the 1800’s, settlers started to fill up Britain’s western colony. The gold rush e ...

The guards were literally lined up, guarding the door while hundreds of angry protesters attacked the students. Students and parents were shouting obscenities, spitting on the blac ...

... environment for the animals. We see quick cuts of caribou and wolves, which imply that the Oil Company accepts the responsibility that the Indians once had.

Webster’s dictionary defines the term Genocide as “the deliberate and systematic destruction of a racial, political, or cultural group� or the killing of a people. When genocide is spoke of, most people think of the Holocaust, or the troubles in Bosnia, but not all people realize that the Native Americans went through their own “genocide� except theirs wasn’t as ou ...

... of colonial government, plus, there was such a great distance between them that those in the southern colonies were basically in their own little world set apart from the frosty New England colonies. The typical South Carolinian was probably not too terribly upset when he caught wind of an Indian raid up in New York or Jamestown.

... shower scene alone there were over 90 cuts. Many of the actors in Psycho were actors from his weekly television show. He (Hitchcock) did this to save both time and money. The acting in this movie was well done, but my opinion is that some of Marion's expressions and the appearence that something is wrong were just too aparent. The movie is mainly about a girl who decides to take a little money, gets killed, and her family and friends try to find out what actually happened to her. That is not the only way the plot goes, though. After the introduction of Norman, we realize that something is wrong inside his h ...

... to deal with those kinds of problems. It's really very frightening to realize, as Andy did, that even our legal system can be discriminating. When he started looking for a lawyer, he found many people who did not want to represent him because of his illness. The frustration he felt must ha been a real burden. Most people were afraid of him. Even the man who finally represented him was afraid of him. He soon came to understand Andy was no threat to his health or his reputation, but someone he learned from and ended up becoming friends. Andy himself feared his disease even before he was sure he had it. He did not want ...
