Heroic Characters in the Indian Horse Saul was born in the Ojibway family in Northern Ontario. He lived with his grandmother, who gave him the stories of his ancestors, which helped him to know more about his history. Saul could foresee things.

Character Symbolism in “A Good Man is Hard to Find”             In the story “A Good Man is Hard to Find” many religious questions have been raised that don’t seem clear throughout the story. For instance, is the grandmother a true believer or she just used religion as a cover up to achieve her plans? And secondly, does Misfit really believe in Jesus or he just talks about Jesus as a by the way? According to Misfit, we learn that Jesus did a right thing when he came back from the dead. On the other hand, the self-reflection that the mother manages to express about herself is more of a world in the book, a desperate gimmick for her life without necessarily reflecting on her real self (Connor 1). A dilemma therefore arises on the storyline of these two characters, who really has a solid foundation in religious matters? The very first thing we get to know about the grandmother is, she is not willing to visit Florida simply because she has some relatives to see her in Tennessee. She…

Characterization in The Graduate The Graduate is one of the landmark films of the 1960’s that initiated a new era of motion pictures. The movie exhibits a satirical tinge in tracing the life of a timid and pitifully ineffectual college graduate from the East Coast. The man finds himself isolated and remarkably demarcated in the new world order marked by shifts in culture, norms, moral standards, and sexual mores that characterized this age. He questions the very nature of the values and ethics of this new society in which he is immersed. The character of Benjamin, played by Dustin Hoffman, stood out in the film. This paper explains the most distinctive elements in the characterization of the actor in the film. It also draws a comparison between his role in this movie with his performances in other films. Dustin Hoffman fits so perfectly into his role that one could easily conclude that the character was tailor-made for him. This presumption is evident right from the onset of the movie. A close-up shot of his poker face that is blatantly blank…

Characteristics of a Healthy Community  A healthy lifestyle is becoming a real priority among active families who seek to have a quality life. Therefore, having healthy communities or at least the principles or ideas of living in a healthy society has become a popular trend. All individuals belong to a community, and therefore, a community has particular characteristics that make it be termed as healthy. One feature of a healthy community is having access to quality education. Having a high level of knowledge enables people to have a longer lifespan and more top quality of life (Blais & Hayes, 2016). Schools also teach children foundational concepts of living a healthy life. Another characteristic is the ability to blend into its environment naturally. Such blending ensures less access to harmful substances. The availability of healthcare facilities is another characteristic to enable access to curative and preventive health services. Access to healthy food and wellness/fitness opportunities is also another characteristic of a community that is healthy. Concept of Community as a Client The idea of community as a client constitutes a population…

               Character analysis The author in the story at first talks about two characters, Mr. Woodfield and his employer, who is referred to as the Boss.  The first character had stepped down from employment due to a medical condition as he suffered from a stroke. The writer brings up the notion of the Boss gloating of his position and consistently taking pride in being complimented upon his accomplishments. He insistently talks about the changes and refurbishments that he has undertaken to bring into perfection the current state of his office. The Boss is portrayed as being of older age as compared to Mr. Woodfield, and bragging to him about all his attainments is said to solicit a sense of satisfaction that warms him up.  However, amidst all his boasting, he waivers from talking about the snapshot of his passed on son. The author paints Mr. Woodfield as a retired employee. He retreated from work but has not since then been content with his lifestyle. He is restrained from leaving his house by his family…

Breakfast Club Character Critique The character I have chosen is John Bender (played by Judd Nelson). Introduction John Bender (Judd Nelson) as a bad boy bestowed with a heart like gold. His fellows compare him with a two leave clover, hard to find, and lucky to have. He exercised love and care where necessary to his fellows. He knows how to manage between his wisecracking and his real anger originating from his messed up family life. Also, John Bender is known for his great joking techniques. For instance, he harasses Mr. Richard Vernon, who is the supervising teacher by cracking jokes like “Do Barry Manilow know that you raided his wardrobe?”  Besides making jokes with Mr. Richard Vernon, John Bender is also known for his insults to Mr. Richard Vernon, such as “Fuck you!” or “Eat my shorts” after he was assigned two months further in detention for being rude and rogue to Mr. Richard Vernon.  In this movie, The Breakfast Club, there are five other characters. That is John Bender (Judd Nelson), Andrew Clark (Emilio Estevez), Brian Johnson (Anthony…

What images/scenes/lyrics/dialogue/characters support the Afrofuturism? Afrofuturism has been reflected in Janelle Monae’s Dirty Computer. It depicts black artists in the claim of the sci-fi fantasies genres, which are generally owned by white characters and artists (Gray, Par 15-17. It raises a challenge on how a community lost in search of its history imagines a possible future. In her work, Janelle addresses the past- civil rights struggle and the quest to realize African- American life. In all of her releases, she highlights problems of the African American community, personal relations, individual identity, and with the aid of a robotic machine, she plays the role of a person living a high-end life in a world of fantasy (Vernallis, 254). In the film, Janelle assumes the role of Jane, who has been playing the hero in Janelle’s previous albums. Jane frees herself from the android in an Afrofuturism concept. From the initial reference to Metropolis, Janelle refers to a city that is cold, dystopian, droid powered, and it looms over all her albums. She builds up a discography via tropes of science fiction,…

How would you characterize China’s market for online search and related services? Its crystal clear that the Chinese online search and related services market is different from the one in the USA because of the huge interference by the government. The government regulations control what gets searched and search results availability. This aspect has made many firms in the market to create unique strategies to enable them to thrive in that market. The market is also characterized by a huge number of users due to the high population, which makes it very attractive but still competitive. The market’s users also have the element of loving search engines that are customized to their region in terms of language and content. These elements are evident in Baidu, which is the countries bulletin board and network for resellers. Firms have to come up with strategies that are like Baidu or better than Baidu to prevail.
