Virgin Land: The American West As Symbol and Myth, by Henry Nash Smith is a very interesting book and it’s not your typical history book. It is an critical analysis of how Americans view the western expansion through the myths, legends, and symbolic culture that’s associated with it. Smith delves into the topic of what the West and the frontier meant to the American public. This is not a book which discusses established history but a book about what people believe is true about the American past

Without the help of Lord Aylesford, William Abotts and Benjamin Satchwell, Dr Jephson, Dr Hitchman and C.S Smith maybe the place we live in today might have still been that tiny village over 500 years ago. The doctors are mostly to thank because they were the ones that the population listened to saying that spa water is great to clean the body of harmful
"In the first hundred years of active life, it has been described as a menace ands a blessing, a blight and a godsend, as a savior of our countryside and cities, and as their curse, as socially divisive and the greatest social leveler. It has been worshipped and reviled, celebrated and scorned." The automobile is an invention that has had a tremendous impact on society. The automobile has taken diverse segments of the American population; farmers, small town residents and urban dwellers and given
writing a racist composition. By drawing similarities between the confinement of Huck by his drunkard father to enslavement, Lester believes Twain has diminished the horrors of slavery. Author Henry Nash Smith in his essay “A Sound heart and a deformed Conscience” rightfully refutes these arguments. Smith sees Jim as a man of silent dignity who shows loyalty to his friends and family, exemplifies humanity, and stands up for himself. When Huck plays a prank on Jim by convincing him that that the separation
Visual Style and Western Theme of Shane By analysing Shane' (1953) in conjunction with its visual style and western themes, it will clearly show what aspects of western culture are apparent in the film. By looking at the visual style, this will show how the mise-en-scene informs the audience that Shane' is placed in the western genre.

A NOT-SO-ACCURATE prophet once wrote, "As recently as 1972, there were a tremendous number of quality Westerns being made . . . and since there seems to be a ten-year cycle in Western movie making, I'd say we'll see more in about 1982." 1 In 1982 only two Westerns were released, and neither was exactly a major success.
