Compare and contrast the "revolutionary" cinemas of Cuba and Argentina. Argentina was part of third world revolutionary cinema, Solanas and Getino’s “Third Cinema” manifesto essay set the agenda for Argentina’s film making, Solanas explained that not all big productions were necessarily first cinema. Writing later in 1970s, Getino noted that “the force and cohesion of the popular movements in Argentina –were not as strong as we had imagined” (Octavio Getino, “some Notes on the concept of a ‘Third Cinema,” in Tim Barnard, ed., Argentine Cinema [Toronto: Nightwood, 1986], p. 107). In Cuba, feminist filmmaking pioneered the turn to issue-centered, grassroots problems. As the international women’s movement grew, films on rape, self-defense and house-keeping were paralleled by explorations of women history which are epitomized in the U.S. films Union Maids (1976) and with babies and Banners (1978) by Women’s Labor History Project. During the next decade, minority...

...Jean Genet’s life experiences in 1940’s France affected the content of his book Querelle of Brest. This is immediately evident when you glance at the main character of Querelle of Brest. The immediate comparisons are obvious, both Jean Genet and Querelle were in the French military, both Genet and Querelle are criminals, and both Genet and Querelle have a history of homosexual tendencies. These similarities are just the surface however. Genet uses the characters in Querelle of Brest to express complex ideas about his own self-image. Before delving into these ideas however, one must first know a bit about Jean Genet’s personal history and the environment he was in. Jean Genet was born in Paris, France in 1910. (Pendergast) Some sources claim that Genet’s mother was a prostitute but other sources dispute it, though regardless if she was a prostitute or not, Querelle never knew anything about his father and his mother abandoned him at birth. He was raised by foster parents who were reputedly very loving and supportive. Genet was a good student at school but he often got into trouble due to his often attempts of running away from home and stealing. (New World) Genet’s life of crime began at age ten when he was falsely accused of stealing. At that point Genet decided that he would become the thief that he was accused of being. (imagi-nation) It was a couple years later that Genet discovered that he was a homosexual. It was during these early years when Genet discovered who he...

...Rainer Maria Rilke once said, “The only journey is the one within”. The journey everyone takes at least once in their lifetime is the great unveiling of who we truly are. In J. D, Salinger’s novel, The Catcher in the Rye, Holden is a troubled teenager on a journey to find himself. However, on the path, he latches onto the image of being a hypocrite by exemplifying all the characteristics he hates of others onto himself. Throughout the book, Holden often expresses his deep displeasure for nearly every action done by his roommate from Pencey, Stradlater. It is specifically shown towards Stradlater's techniques with girls but Holden really is no different with his own "womanizing" ways. Pencey, where Holden attends is a prestigious all boys...

...Melissa Chau Lee, J ENG3U0 - I May 25th, 2015 The Journey of Hardships Novelist author, Rainer Maria Rilke, once said, “it is clear that we must trust what is difficult; everything alive trusts in it, everything in Nature grows and defends itself any way it can and is spontaneously itself, tries to be itself at all costs and against all opposition…“ in which he explains that it is not the hardships of life, but how one handles the hardships that defines them. The overwhelming feeling of, isolation, and seduction filled with both the magic of life and its lurking evils. The novel, The Cure for Death by Lightning by Gail Anderson-Dargatz, the protagonist, Beth Weeks, goes through many obstacles, thus demonstrating hardships of terror, isolation, and non-ethical actions. In today’s society there are many individuals who may seem to have newly/and or more common issues due to how we as a economy are developing. For instance, the protagonist Beth’s issues such as, terror from sexual harassment/abuse, “They came and pushed me down. Parker and Lily Bell and those kids. They took my clothes. Parker, again today, he pushed me down.” (Anderson-Dargatz 151) would not often be ignored in the twenty-first century and in our society in the world that we live in. Though these unfortunate events do occur from time to time, times are changing and issues are being dealt with regarding the situation. Correspondingly, once a incident like such has occurred in the...

...Singapore, in the airport, A darkness was ripped from my eyes. In the women’s restroom, one compartment stood open. A woman knelt there, washing something in the white bowl. Disgust argued in my stomach and I felt, in my pocket, for my ticket. A poem should always have birds in it. Kingfishers, say, with their bold eyes and gaudy wings. Rivers are pleasant, and of course trees. A waterfall, or if that’s not possible, a fountain rising and falling. A person wants to stand in a happy place, in a poem. When the woman turned I could not answer her face. Her beauty and her embarrassment struggled together, and neither could win. She smiled and I smiled. What kind of nonsense is this? Everybody needs a job. Yes, a person wants to stand in a happy place, in a poem. But first we must watch her as she stares down at her labor, which is dull enough. She is washing the tops of the airport ashtrays, as big as hubcaps, with a blue rag. Her small hands turn the metal, scrubbing and rinsing. She does not work slowly, nor quickly, like a river. Her dark hair is like the wing of a bird. I don’t doubt for a moment that she loves her life. And I want her to rise up from the crust and the slop and fly down to the river. This probably won’t happen. But maybe it will. If the world were only pain and logic, who would want it? Of course, it isn’t. Neither do I mean anything miraculous, but only the light that can shine out of a life. I mean the way she unfolded...

...Comparative Essay on Death When is it appropriate to die? is it actually at any point appropriate to die? if you could stop death and become Immortal wouldn't it be okay or would it be like cheating? Death is something that everyone will at some point encounter the poems 'Because I could not stop for Death' by Emily Dickinson and 'Death' by Rainer Maria Rilke play with our feelings concerning death they share the theme immortality by leading us trough the event making the Narrators immortal. Rilke's poem Death emphasizes the theme immortality by use of positive connotation and Metaphors for death. In the poem death is personified "before us great death stands" since death is not literary able to stand, furthermore it can also be a metaphor for the fact that we're all going to die someday. The poem then continues " Our fate held close within his hands" Death is portrayed as great and powerful, since he holds 'their' fate in his hands. You would probably have to posses some divine power to hold someone's faith in your hands. During the next three lines the context change, by portraying the 'us' as happy and with a feeling of immortality. therefore the theme of poem evolves , as the 'us' reaches a feeling of ecstasy hence their fate lies no more in the hands of death as they reach such divine power as they" lift life's red wine, to drink deep of the mystic shining cup" which also could be a reference to the last supper. Moving on to the fifth and last line death bows...

...Tesla is a growing motor vehicles company founded in 2003 by a group of fearless Silicon valley engineers who set out to prove electric vehicles are practical and awesome. Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning were responsible for creating the company. Leading the first investment was Elon Musk in February of 2004. In 2008 the company released the Tesla Roadster, to which there was no equal. The electric vehicle drives emission free in 37 countries. Tesla registered for an Initial public offering during January of 2010 and began trading on the NASDAQ exchange in June of the same year. When the market opened, shares sold at $17 dollars.

...information and maintenance tips. If an owner’s hybrid vehicle is running short on battery power, for instance, the Toyota Friend network will alert that customer to the condition via a short message similar to those exchanged on Twitter, according to the statement. Members will be able to access the community through smartphones, tablet computers, and other mobile devices. In recent years, many companies have rushed to establish a presence in the greenfields of social networks such as Facebook and LinkedIn, creating communities of customers and fans there. Toyota’s new CRM effort is distinctive because of its closed nature and its reliance on telematics, which connects a driver directly to information on a car’s status. “To date, [Toyota Motor Co.] has developed its own telematics services to connect people, cars, and their surroundings,” the statement read. “Through Toyota Friend, TMC aims to offer its telematics services worldwide. Moving forward, TMC plans to advance toward the realization of future mobility by teaming up proactively with global IT companies.” Toyota President Akio Toyoda said this latest iteration of customer relationship management is a natural evolution for the auto industry. "Social networking services are transforming human interaction and modes of communication,” he said in the statement. “The automobile needs to evolve in step with that transformation.” The relationship between Toyota and Salesforce.com appears to extend well beyond this initial...

...virtual child. When I was told this was an assignment I thought “this should be easy”. Boy was I wrong! I found many things can affect the outcome of my child. If I am too strict or too easy, the child’s behavior will show this. Over time, this will also affect the child’s temperament. I have learned that some of my classmates’ virtual children are harder to get along with and require more discipline then others. I decided to just trust my instinct and answer the questions as if they were for a real child. In this report you will see how my answers affected my virtual daughter Alexis and, my experience throughout the duration of the assignment. 0-8 MONTHS 1. How does your baby's eating, sleeping and motor development compare to the typical developmental patterns? ~Alexis’s motor skills are typical for her age, crawling, sitting up, and standing up, but not walking yet. Her sleeping habits are normal for her age. Infants normally sleep sixteen-seventeen hours a day. For the first week or so Alexis wasn't very hungry and actually lost a little weight, she has now started eating and has gained back some of the weight she lost. 2. At 8 months of age was your child an "easy", "slow-to-warm-up", or "difficult" baby in terms of Thomas and Chess's classic temperamental categories? On what do you base this judgment? ~Alexis was an easy baby. She had a positive disposition and her body...

...Introduction Since 1908, General Motors (GM) is primarily engaged in automotive production and marketing and financing and insurance operations. GM designs, manufactures, and markets vehicles worldwide, having its largest operating presence in North America. By 2008, GM became vulnerable to the auto industry crisis, which they were not able to meet obligations. Over the years, GM was a dominating force in the auto industry. However, rising labor costs, concessions made to the unions, higher gas prices and a recession, GM was heavily burdened and could not provide the sufficient marketing funds for any one of its product lines. The U.S. government agreed to lend $13 billion in order to buy time to develop a restructuring plan (DePamphilis, 2012, p.648). The restructure plan impacted employees and operations in U.S. and Canada. With mergers and acquisition activities, the intent is to preserve and provide jobs to the community. However, this was not the case with GM. Was it justified to reduce the workforce? Therefore, the review of the bankruptcy steps taken by GM will determine if the restructure was successful. Pension Plan General Motors pension fund obligations and health care obligations appear to threaten the future of the company. Majority of General Motors’ U.S. employees are members of the United Auto Worker (UAW) Union, which ensures health insurance for its members by entering into contractual agreements with employers. In the 1990’s the UAWs’ officers...
