Joy Luck Club Uncle Tom
1,057 wordsJust last night I saw the movie, The Joy Luck Club (JLC), which played on television for the first time in Los Angeles. I had been meaning to see this movie but never got around to it until now.

Up to this point, I have heard nothing but glowing reviews about this movie. Near the end of the movie I found myself thinking, There is something terribly wron...

Frank Sinatra Journal Vol
1,225 wordsThe library I selected to conduct my search for History journals was at the University of Buffalo, Amherst Campus. Having made trips there on two separate occasions and having skimmed quickly through perhaps twenty or so different journals I eventually selected a handful that I felt were a good representation of what to expect in a history journal.

Rose For Emily Homer Barron
1,626 words... Faulkner had never attached any importance to the character of manservant and, in all probability, it simply never occurred to him that anyone would be asking questions, regarding the issue. Don't let us forget that Faulkner himself came from the family of wealthy Southern landowners, whose predecessors owned slaves. Therefore, it would be rather naive to think that Faulkner had a progressive attitude towards the Black people. It is a common mistake of critics-beginners: they automatically a...
