...Black Robe Introduction There were several clashes of cultures between the European and the Native Americans during the 17th century. The film, ‘Black Robe’ depicts some of the differences in culture and beliefs between the French and the native Indians. The film attributes an event that took place during the war between the French funded Algonquin and the British and Dutch funded Iroquois tribe. The film features Father Laforgue a Jesuit priest. This essay will discuss the various challenges that Father Laforgue faces (as portrayed by the film) while trying to spread Christianity to the Native Americans due to the cultural differences. Discussion The film begins by showing how the French settlers were struggling to convert the local tribe of Algonquin (with whom they were collaborating) to Christians with no success. In turn, the leader of the French settlers decided to send one of their Jesuit priest to try saving and accomplishing their failed mission in converting the local tribes into Christianity. The Jesuit priest selected was father Laforgue. He was accompanied by an assistant named Daniel (who was not a member of the Jesuit priests) and a number of locals from the Algonquin tribe. On the way to the village of Huron, Daniel fell in love with one of the locals. This was not an ambiguous occurrence to the locals; however, father Laforgue did not feel at ease with the issue because he was a member of the Catholic Church male congregation that practiced celibacy. While...

...Black Robe was a movie depicting interaction between French colonists/settlers, specifically a French Jesuit priest (Father Laforgue) and the Algonquin tribe of Native Americans, (led by Chomina, who is the tribe elder). It takes place in “New France” which is on the American continent, somewhere near what is now Quebec, in 1634. I enjoyed the film. There were specific scenes in which the parallels between the Jesuits and the Algonquins are made plain, specifically the scene in which the head Jesuit and the head Algonquin get all dressed in their ceremonial gear, and how they worship and assemble as groups. Cinematically, the flashback/prophecy scenes for Chomina were well done, making you wonder and look forward to what they portend. I think the flashback scenes of Laforgue were not done as well, as the first two scenes were difficult for me to understand that they were flashbacks, but after that, the idea was established. The dead hunt at night, the trees and the forest speak to you, the power and prominence of dreams were all depicted as being very important to Algonquin belief. Continuous prayer, the belief in a paradise awaiting after death, Baptism, and strict adherence to Christian beliefs are depicted as very important to the Jesuit. The French Jesuits viewed the Algonquins (and other Native Americans) as savages/barbarians in need of saving in order to enter Paradise after death. The Algonquins mostly believed (in the beginning) that “Captain Clock” had something...

...the saints swirling overhead among thin silky clouds. The two distinct sections of this artwork give the painting two focal points, which the eyes are drawn towards. The section of the artwork depicting heaven has Christ as a focal point, he is centered at the very top of the painting with virtually every figure around him looking up with some motioning towards him. Christ is dressed in white robe, and the figures surrounding Christ vary from Saints to musicians, angles, multitudes of followers, and the Virgin Mary. The figures all seem to be swirling among silky clouds around Christ which gives each figure a distinct position and proportion in the painting, some closer up and distinctive, other more further away and faded. The burial scene directly below the heavens has the Count Orgaz as the focal point and he is positioned near the lowest part of the painting and perpendicular to Christ. The mourners around the Count Orgaz are dressed in formal coats of black and all are similarly positioned in the background. The Count Orgaz himself is richly dressed in the foreground, in plates of black armor with gold ornations, and he is being lowered by two priests who are dressed in bright golden garbs with slight patterns of red.

...themselves in their greatest braveries. Before a fire upon a seat like a bedstead, he sat covered with a great robe, made of raccoon skins, and all the tails hanging by. On either hand did sit a young wench of 16 or 18 years, and along on each side the house, two rows of men, and behind them as many women, with all their heads and shoulders painted red; many of their heads bedecked with the white down of birds; but every one with something: and a great chain of white beads about their necks. At his entrance before the King, all the people gave a great shout. The Queen of Appamatuck was appointed to bring him water to wash his hands, and another brought him a bunch of feathers, instead of a towel to dry them. Having feasted him after their best barbarous manner they could, a long consultation was held, but the conclusion was, two great stones were brought before Powhatan: then as many as could laid hands on him, dragged him to them, and thereon laid his head, and being ready with their clubs, to beat out his brains, Pocahontas the King’s dearest daughter, when no entreaty could prevail, got his head in her arms, and laid her own upon his to save his from death: whereat the Emperor was contented he should live to make him hatchets, and her bells, beads, and copper; for they thought him as well of all occupations as themselves. For the King himself will make his own robes, shoes, bows, arrows, pots; plant, hunt, or do any thing so well as the rest. They say he bore a pleasant...

...Black Robe is a movie set in New France in the city of Quebec, which was founded by Samuel Champlain in 1608, according to Colin Woodard's American Nations. The movie starts in Quebec City in 1634 where a Jesuit missionary called Father Laforgue leaves in hope to reaching the Huron mission with the help of the Algonquin Indians. Father Laforgue wants to go to the Huron mission in order to work there to convince the Natives to convert to Christianity. The rest of the movie beautifully sketches out the struggles of the journey of Father Laforgue with another French guy named Daniel and the Algonquin Indians. Black Robe is a great movie for students in American Pluralism to watch because it beautifully and realistically shows the relationship between the French and the...

...purple pens Prior to adding red and purple pens to its lineup, Classic Pen’s Return on Sales was approximately 22%. However, producing the new colors has caused many time consuming changeovers, increasing production costs and decreasing the Profit Margin. Comprehensive Return on Sales has fallen from 22% to 13.5% (Exhibit 1). Blue and black pens are still generating a 21.6% and 22.6% return, while red and purple pens are operating at a loss, reducing both Net Income and Return on Sales. Classic Pen Company could easily restore its Profit Margin to 22% if it stopped making red and purple pens. Currently, red and purple pens are causing Classic Pen Company to lose money. If the company wants to continue to produce red and purple pens, it should increase the selling price of these colors, so the Return on Sales is equal to, if not greater than, that of the blue and black pens. However, Classic Pen Company should not continue to produce these additional colors at a loss, decreasing its Net Income and comprehensive Return on Sales. Classic Pen Company should immediately cease production on red and purple pens. It should continue to produce blue and black pens, but should not introduce any new colors to its lineup until it has calculated and analyzed the activity based cost for each proposed product and worked out a pricing structure that will allow it to maintain or increase its original 22% Profit Margin. Conclusion: My recommendation would be to invest in new technology to lower...

...Which is the better colour, black or white? Colour is known as the ‘fill’ of objects, environment and even the skin of some people around us. It is defined as a visual sensation differing with wavelengths which results from the light that they may emit or transmit. My question is; ‘which is the better colour out of black or white?’ Black may not be considered a colour while white might and vice versa; however the attractiveness and appeal of these two ‘colours’ to those who perceive it is my main focus. Regardless of which colour is more suitable to a person’s standards; I am answering this question by thoroughly comparing the two different colours and will attempt to reach a conclusion of which is the dominant colour. First off I will start with the colour black. Black is normally affiliated with feelings of depression which can be reflected through various things such as accessories or clothing. Black can cause powerful feelings of isolation and imply an inconspicuous nature of somebody who is wearing all black so they are not recognised. Black is a pure colour; the opposite of colours filled with vibrancy and passion and contains a much more direct approach. When black is worn, it can be perceived as sophisticated e.g. a person in an all-black suit for work or rebellious e.g. the common teenage punk rock attire. The colour black is known to stimulate an atmosphere of mysteriousness due to the secretive nature of the colour. Black is the most common colour in sophisticated...

...something strange. He appeared to confront the plaintiff, Samantha, in a very peculiar way. Mr. Smith stared, with a piercing gaze, into the woman’s gorgeous light blue eyes. After a few moments, the woman’s eyes appeared to become red as if they were bleeding. The woman stood, fearing for her life, and attempted to run out of the court room. While the woman was running, the defendant, Mr. Smith, seemed to reach into his suit pocket and grab what appeared to be a black remote control. It appeared to be covered in odd, glowing buttons, witnesses said. Mr. Smith pushed a series of buttons on the remote as he aimed it toward Samantha. The woman became petrified and fell to her knees grasping her head. She watched the room spin and then blacked out on the courtroom floor. As witnesses were tending to the woman, the defendant somehow managed to disappear into a large beam of light. A nationwide manhunt is in progress looking for Mr. Smith. He is described as being 6’2,” 145 pounds, and pale grey in color. He was last seen wearing a black Armani Suite. The “Terror,” as he is now being called, is still on the loose. He is believed to be unarmed but, very dangerous at this time. The women remains in critical condition at the St. Joseph Foundation Hospital in Denver,...
