...the costumes and the angle of the camera in both films. In the film The Pursuit of Happyness shows how hard it is to be a single father with minimum resources to survive and all the struggles that he passes through to create a better life for him and for his son. Christopher is a black man and he does not have a lot of money, looking for ways to get money with different ideas but things did not get any better when he was kicked out of his apartment where Christopher and his son were living because he could not pay it anymore. Things kind of looked better when Christopher got an internship in an important brokerage firm but sadly that position does not pay him until he gets hired for a full-time position in the company and earn much more money than he thought he would have. The ideology in this film of The American Dream is very clear, it began with the fact that Christopher might be considered a failure dad to a lot of people at the beginning of the film because he does not have any properties, luxury things or anything for his own use, no job and problems with his partner. Christopher is a very good example of a person who reached the bottom of life, where he could not go any deeper than where he was. Christopher tries some ideas to reach success such as a machine that will help doctors in their hospitals, investing all his money into that hoping that will work and get better financially but sadly that invention is a luxury for them and they do not actually need that....

...The Age of Exploration A Resource to Accompany History Alive! The United States Through Industrialism Brings Learning Alive! Teachers’ Curriculum Institute 1 Introduction I n this reading, you will learn about the Age of Exploration. This period of discovery lasted from about 1418 to 1620. During this time, European explorers made many daring voyages that changed world history. A major reason for these voyages was the desire to find sea routes to east Asia, which Europeans called the Indies. When Christopher Columbus sailed west across the Atlantic Ocean, he was looking for such a route. Instead, he landed in the Americas. Columbus thought he had reached the Indies. In time, Europeans would realize that he had found what they called the ”New World.” European nations soon rushed to claim lands in the Americas for themselves. Early explorers often suffered terrible hardships. In 1520, Ferdinand Magellan set out with three ships to cross the Pacific Ocean from South America. He had guessed, correctly, that the Indies lay on the other side of the Pacific. But Magellan had no idea how vast the ocean really was. He thought his crew would be sailing for a few weeks at most. Instead, the crossing took three months. While the ships were still at sea, the crew ran out of food. One sailor wrote about this terrible time. “We ate biscuit… swarming with worms…. We drank yellow water that had been putrid [rotten] for days... and often we ate sawdust from boards.” Why did explorers...

He was the son of Susanna Fontanarosssa and Demenico Colombo, a middle class wool weaver. Christopher Columbus being the son of a wool weaver did not come from wealthy family and was limited on his choices of profession. He chose, at the age of fourteen, to take a job on board a ship from then on the sea was his life. [1] Sometime during his voyages Columbus began to believe he could reach the Indies (Asia) by sailing west across the Atlantic Ocean completely avoiding the African continent. Based on the information observed and collected from his previous travels, he Columbus felt as if the Journey to Asia was not only shorter but also felt as if it would be easy. He presented his plan to officials in Portugal and England who both rejected him. [2] “Columbus then moved to Spain, winning the support of many influential people for his plan, and petitioned to Queen Isabella of Castile, Spain. Even though a Royal Commission there also rejected his plan, he tried again in 1492, and was given their consent. Ferdinand and Isabella, King and Queen, agreed to sponsor the expedition, under the terms that Columbus would become viceroy of all the lands located, and that he could keep a tenth of all valuables found.” [3] ...

...TEAM ASSIGNMENT – SEM 2 - 2013-07-30 Lily and Morris are the directors and shareholders of Zap Graphics Pty Ltd. Recently, the company has began to suffer cash flow problems and needed additional capital. Lilly persuaded Rodney, a close friend of hers, to invest $100,000 in Zap Graphics Pty Ltd. Lily and Morris held a directors meeting and decided to issue Rodney with two shares in the company. A general meeting of shareholders also appointed Rodney as the director of the company. At the shareholders meeting Rodney said that he would not be attending board meetings and wanted to be treated as a “silent partner.” The company’s financial position improved as a result of Rodney’s $100,000 investment, as well as the considerable efforts of Lily and Morris.

Rodney began to attend directors meetings and made a number of suggestions to improve the profitability of the business. He also questioned Lily and Morris about their pay raises.

...Nancy Gilmore ENG/125 Literature in Society January 22, 2010 Mr. Jeff Verver In “The Nymph’s Reply to the Shepherd” by Sir Walter Raleigh, is a comeback poem to Christopher Marlowe’s poem, “The Passionate Shepherd to His Love”. Both of these poems use imagery and symbolism to describe love. The formation and construction of these poems are consistent and related. The poems also create rhythms that allow the text to flow and come together. Raleigh main focus in his poem describes conflict and rejection of being in love. A nymph is goddesses in ancient mythology represented as maidens living the mountains, forests, meadow, and waters. Raleigh uses the word "nymph" instead of "girl" in the title so the reader can identify that the speaker is a girl. The stanzas in each poem often reflect one another and Raleigh’s poem answers the request to the shepherd. Marlowe begins with the proposal for the maiden to "Come live with me and bee my Love" (1). This statement made by the shepherd is asking for her to be with him. His request is simple and truthful, with "all (her) pleasures prove" (2) if only she will live with him and be his love. He wanted to give her eternal love through his materialistic world, but this perception of love represents the idea that love can be bought at a price. Raleigh’s reply to the shepherd proves that love is not what it seems to be. He states in the first stanza “If all the world and love were young, And truth in every shepherds tongue...

...Chris Campbell US History Article 1 #1 On August 3, 1492 when Christopher Columbus set Europe was full of violence, filth, treachery, and intolerance. It was a huge epidemic outbreak which consisted of plague and smallpox, also it included measles, fever, influenza and many more it swept the cities and towns clean for about 10 to 20 percent of its population at a single stroke. Later in the 17th century over 80,000 Londoners died from the plague in matter of months this was called The Black Death. One historian stated in migration was to move from the countryside it was very ital. in order to keep cities from going extinct and cause the cities were so poor that they were major decline. During the 15th century prices were changing constantly, which leads to people complaining to Spanish agriculturalist did in 1513, but the same epidemic occurred in Paris in 1482 well it was much of a classic pattern. Many areas were wrecked with the failure of harvest, which brought on death repeatedly during this period The stamp act caused immediate madness in Massachusetts because everything copied or wrote down on paper other than private correspondence and books required revenue stamp costing as much as 10 pounds. The new law was to ax Americans directly which was to help pay for the French and the Indian war and to help maintain a colonial military force to prevent war; everyone was affected.

...Christopher Columbus Christopher Columbus born in Genoa Italy was the son of a skilled weaver. Columbus earned his chance when the king and queen of Spain agreed to finance his voyage to discover a new trade route connecting Spain with Asia. In 1492 He sailed across the Atlantic arriving instead in the Caribbean where he raped, killed, and enslaved innocent Natives. America’s memories are filled with symbols of adventure and bravery associated with Columbus, yet the facts behind the fiction have somehow been lost in a haze of patriotism. Columbus set out with three ships; the Pinta, the Nina and the Santa Maria in search of Asia to find precious items such as gold and spices. Not realising that the Americas existed, Columbus first appeared in the Bahama Islands. When he first came in contact with the Arawak men and women, he entered into is log, “they would make fine servants… we could subjugate them all and make them do whatever they want” (pg 1). Columbus and his men coming from Spain had weapons that the Natives simply could not fight against, leaving them helpless and unable to fight they were mistreated and abused. Another example of Columbus abusing the natives is when he entered into his log, “as soon as I arrived… I took some of the natives by force” (pg 1). Columbus took some of the natives so that they might show him the land and where he might find gold, but instead of trying to communicate with these people he forcibly took them as slaves. “In...
