I turned on my laptop one hot September, and as I decided to re-watch Snowpiercer, then a thought occurred to me about what happens when a huge disaster comes to drain most of humanity population to short numbers. Sadly, Snowpiercer takes my thought into a reality that I can 't stop from keeping my eyes from being glued to my screen. Knowing very well what the movie has in store for the viewer and, yet I knew I was going for another roller coaster ride that would make me question humanity since of justice. Snowpiercer, wild roller coaster ride takes use to a place ware humanity has almost become extinct. The only thing keeping them from total extinction is a train and its social standers in living difference. Sadly, Snowpiercer does not stop Before, this black jello protein bar was giving to the lower class they lived a month with out any source of food be sides them selfs. So many converted to cannibalism since the hunger was so bad all because Wilford (ED Harris)did not include them in his grand plan of survival. The other thing that Wilford (Ed Harris) forgot to do for the lower class was give them an approbate living conditions; instead, they are force to live in a very tight short space area where this is no such privacy can behave. Another thing they have that the higher class does not have to live with is having to live filth rather then enjoying the juice 's of life. At this point I ask my self why Wilford (Ed Harris) did not think about his lower classes citizen on board his train. Maybe, just maybe because they did not buy a ticket? To add insult to injury the lower class gets not just mistreated but humiliate for any kind of rebellion action they show towards the upper class. For example, someone from the higher class came looking for children of a particular size. Sadly, the higher class finds two children of the size they need and just take them by force. One of the children 's parents takes his shoe of and threw it at a lady that seem to be a very important person. As a consequences Andrew (Ewen Bremner) the father Although, the higher class submits they now must obey the demands of the lower class. However, know that the lower class has gain some motivation they feel like Wilford (Ed Harris) has to take their living conditions into hand. However, as you keep watching you start to notice the tone of the leader of the lower class change. Curtis (Chris Evans) is the main man in charge of the lower so when you start to notice his tone from redemption to revenge you start to question how far will he go for it. Their a point in the film where Curtis (Chris Evans) is offered the position of train
Poverty can be a choice or a last resort for many across the globe. The Glass Castle a memoir written by Jeannette Walls, portrays how her family rejected civilization and embraced poverty. I felt Rex Wall’s notion of “sink or swim” (Page 66) portrays the failure and success of having a family. The situation in the Wall’s hopes manifested itself as a Glass Castle, a mysterious glass house the family would hope to build and live in. In order for the family’s dream to succeed, they would have to face many demons on the way. Throughout the book, I protested against some of the choices that were made, but I soon came to an understanding that some people will not change the way they live. I kept on thinking there always a possibility that there is always a cure to a problem, but sometimes there is too little time or understanding on both sides. A common theme that kept on going
In the short shorty “Let it Snow,” David and his four sisters are delighted with a snow day. However, during their vacation the children realize the truth about their family. David’s the Sedaris’s “Let it Snow” is an effective work of self-reflection because it shares personal experiences of a broken family one can relate to, uses raw emotions, and the characters develop throughout the story.
This reflective essay will lay emphasis on one of the learning needs I have developed during my two week taster placement in hospital. Reflection helps an individual build upon their skills and makes room for self-criticism as he or she can contemplate upon actions and make relevant changes (Taylor, 2000). I will be applying the “What”, “So what” and “Now what” model of reflection by Driscoll (2000) in this piece of work because it is a more coherent and comprehensible approach to follow when writing a reflective account and is also an easier guide to writing reflections. The learning need I chose to reflect on from my learning plan is having a better understanding of diabetes and the 6 basic medications used in treating the condition since it is a common illness on the ward I am have been allocated on for my first placement. The timescale set for achieving this objective was by the end of my two week placement that is from 27th January to 9th February and I achieved it with the help of a host of factors. In this assignment, all the names of the patients and wards have been omitted and indicated with letters and numbers for confidentiality reasons as stated in the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) code of conduct (2008). The paper will primarily touch on the type 2 diabetes and furthermore on the achievement on my learning need.
His cousins decided to join the fight to end segregation by marching down the streets of Birmingham to allow integrated schools in the city. The police fighting back with violence and the message of Martin Luther King Jr. are fueling the people who are fighting with determination in their hearts to be treated as equal. Bryon is eager to help by marching with them and if I can recall, he marches with them once. He sees that the black people in Birmingham are treated differently. They are downgraded and treated like dirty people. When Kenny and he go into the restaurant, the waitress treats them like they are horrible, disgusting people. Another scene in the movie is when the kids and the guy who lives with their grandma go to the movies but they cannot go in the same entrance as the white people. They have to go into the back and can only sit in the balcony
Through the exploration of the concept of dystopia, composers are able to warn audiences of the dire consequences of a major issue by describing, and often exaggerating, its possible future impacts on humanity, in a frightening yet recognisable interpretation of our world. In the film Snowpiercer (Bong, 2013), director Bong Joon Ho constructs an extreme representation of our capitalist society through the segregated social classes of humanity’s remaining survivors who, after a failed counter-measure against global warming, loop the world endlessly on a train and are forced to obey its creator Wilford. Curtis’ active decisions, amidst conflicts of morality and sacrifice, ultimately determine the fate of the tail-enders and eventually the future
Among the turning points in the history of mankind mentioned above,revolution and environmental change are chosen as the main topic of the film. In 2014, an attempt to counteract global warming through climate engineering backfires catastrophically, unintentionally causing an ice age that extinguishes all life except the those who are on Snowpiercer, a massive train powered by a perpetual mmotion engine that travels a circumnavigational track. However, the owner of the train Wilford and the governing system’s dictatorship makes the protagonist, Curti and Namgoong Minsoo and Gilliam who like in the tail compartment of the train to revolt, bringing them to the engine compartment. Through the “Snowpiercer”, Bong Jungo tries to present some resolutions for the upcoming future where we have to face unknown problems of the Fourth Industrial Revoltuion by diagnosing the past and present of the mankind, by depicting them is each compartment of the train and the governing
Just as Big Brother represents a god-like figure, Wilford is the train’s conductor and is not seen until the end of the film. Wilford supposedly controls every aspect of the Snowpiercer and maintains “the sacred engine”. Naturally, Wilford must have his lackeys to protect him and carry out his orders. One example is Minister Mason, a woman who often reports to the back of the train to deliver Wilford’s message. She also asserts her power over the impoverished residents in a multitude of ways; She refers to them as “shoes…[that] belong on the foot”, takes away children in an attempt to brainwash them with the teachings of Wilford, and, if especially defiant, she cripples them by removing entire limbs and permanently marking them as examples of what will happen if they fight against the bourgeoise class. The majority of passengers near the front are also given copious amounts of alcohol and mood-altering drugs, possibly to keep them from challenging the law as
The lower class in society is free to do as they please because there aren’t any set standards that need to be attained because nothing is expected of them. Shaw demonstrates the simplicity of the lower class by displaying their lack morals when Alfred sells his daughter for a “five pound note”. What does Alfred Doolittle have to lose, nothing therefore Doolittle will do whatever he can to gain no matter how disgusting and crummy it may seem to the rest of society. When someone has nothing to lose there is nothing to worry a...

This movie is a story about societal race reversal. Everything, as we know the world to be is changed. Instead of White People being in control with the wealth and power, the world is opposite. Black people are the majority and control all of the wealth and power. White people are the oppressed race of people and prejudice is placed upon them. It begins with an elitist; Thadeus played by (Harry Belafonte who at a dinner party held at his home, says white people are genetically inferior. Louis Pennant (John Travolta) is a white candy factory worker for Thadeus’ company. All of the factory workers are white, the supervisors are black. Louis volunteers to deliver a package to the “big man” Thadeus’ home. Louis is familiar
Peter Pan. A movie about nostalgia, childish fun, following your dreams and.. abducting children. I’m serious. You see, Peter Pan’s shadow is the one that does his bidding, that separates from him and convinces Wendy and her brothers to follow him to Neverland. It never talks, it only imitates what its owner does, but with slight variations that get it in trouble. Now, Peter Pan is a lighthearted story with positive messages meant to resonate on children, but the shadow that the tale holds is one that we all do. The difference between our shadow and Peter Pan’s, however, is that his always listened to him, and meanwhile, we always listen to ours. This shadow, constantly following us around is a choice that we make- a choice to be manipulated
... He becomes the symbol of hope that the Caucasian adults are willing to break down the barriers separating them from the African American children. When the other men just stood there daydreaming, this "citizenly" (192) man struck the first blow that could break down the racial wall. But because of this single action, one of the boys (Samuel) falls off the platform and dies.
At this time, the narrator is invited to give a speech at a gathering of the town's leading white citizens. The speech he is planning to give expresses the view that humility is the essence of progress. Subconsciously, the words of his grandfather prevent him from truly believing the thesis of his own speech, but he gives it anyway. Instead of being shown respect for his work, however, he is humiliated by being made to fight blind-folded against other young black men, and then being shocked by an electrified rug. He pretends not to be angered by these events, yet his true feelings escape him for a moment when, while he is reading his speech, he accidentally says "Social equality," instead of "Social responsibility." After he finishes his speech, he is awarded a new briefcase. Inside the briefcase is a scholarship to the state Negro College. That night he has a dream in which his grandfather tells him to open the briefcase and read what is in the envelope. He finds that it says "To Whom It May Concern, Keep This Nigger-Boy Running." Unfortunately, he is still too disillusioned to grasp the meaning of his grandfather's warnings.
It was a quite silent afternoon when I first read this book. At that moment,I was sitting in the corner alone with my back against the wall. I found an amazing world under the pale sunshine. For me at that time, entering Hogwarts was the coolest thing in the world. The glance once out of the train’s window accomplished the character Harry under the pen of J.K.Rowling. This slim and disheveled little boy accompanies me through my childhood.
