For my movie analysis I selected the 1996 film, A Time to Kill. For the next four pages I will answer the following questions, What feelings did the movie evoke?, What surprised you?, What made you mad?, How much were you aware of the problem presented in this movie before you watched this movie?, How does this movie relate to your life?, What changes would you like to see in society as a result of this movie?, If you could change the ending, what would you change?

What feelings did the movie evoke?
This movie evoke many feelings in me. The first feelings that this movie evoked in me was disgust and horror. When I realized what those men were doing to that little girl, I was disgusted and horrified. As the daughter of a rape victim and a …show more content…

I knew there is this problem especially in the south, mostly because I lived most of my childhood in the south. I know that there is a lot of racial tension in the US, but it is worse in the south.

How does this movie relate to your life?

The movie relates to my life because as a daughter of a rape victim and as a mother I can sympathize with the characters in the movie. I sympathize with the little girl because she is just a couple years younger than my mother was when she was raped. I feel for the child and how long and hard her recovery will be. Also I feel for her father because as a parent I can imagine how hard it was for him to walk into his house, to see how hurt his daughter was, to hear what had been done to her, and how bad her injuries were.

What changes would you like to see in society as a result of this movie?

I would like to see everyone be treated the same, for everyone to realize that it doesn’t matter what color your skin is or what god you believe in, that there are things that are wrong to do to others no matter who they are. It didn’t matter that the little girl was black it was wrong for them to rape her. I know that things like this don’t happen as much anymore, but there is still hate crimes happening which I think is

    The first thing about this film that caught my eye from a sociological perspective is that the society in the film is not depicted as a “perfect society” as most films do, instead it shows the real conflicts that society had back then with certain subjects. The film shows us the prejudices, and misconceptions that people had about things like sex, and homosexuality at the time.

  • Contrasting Genesis I and II of the Holy Bible

    1204 Words  | 3 Pages

    Where Genesis I describes a more ordered creation - the manifestation of a more primitive cultural influence than was responsible for the multi-layered creation in Genesis II - the second creation story focuses less on an etiological justification for the physical world and examines the ramifications of humankind's existence and relationship with God. Instead of Genesis I's simple and repetitive refrains of "and God saw that it was good" (Gen 1:12, 18, 21, 25), Genesis II features a more stylistically advanced look at "the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens" (Gen 2:4). While both stories represent different versions of the same Biblical event, Genesis II is significantly more complex than its predecessor and serves both to quantify the relationship between God and his creations and lay the foundation for the evolving story of humankind as well.

  • Jews: The People of the Book

    Genesis is the first of the Five Books of Moses and it describes the time from Creation of the world to the descent of the Children of Israel to Ancient Egypt. Genesis itself is broken up into four literary movements, primeval history being the first. Primeval history is composed of the first eleven chapters of Genesis and during this time, the world was created. Throughout each of the four movements, however, the narrative’s focus shifts from the entire created order, to humanity, to the family of Abraham, to one of Abraham’s grandsons, and then finally culminating in the creation of the tribe of Israel and the presence of Israelites in Egypt. The creation of the world is said to have taken place between six literal days and in each of these days, some piece of the world was created and on the last day, the first man, Adam, and the first woman, Eve, were created...

    The origin of the world has been a topic for discussion since the early days of theology. We can all see this matter around us; the sun, moon, trees, and wildlife, but where did it all come from? The first book of the Bible, Genesis, gives two separate explanations for this phenomena. In Genesis 1:1 through 2:3 the first account of creation is given, and in Genesis 2:4 through the end of chapter two the other explanation for creation is described. These two stories depict creation in different ways, but the underlying story in Genesis 1 and 2 are fundamentally the same.
