Columbus In Zombieland

237 Words1 Page

Provided that Jenko is primarily masculine with small flurries of feminine displays; Columbus is precisely the opposite, being primarily feminine. Columbus is featured in the movie Zombieland and he is portrayed by Jesse Eisenburg. Columbus is of a smaller build physically, and due to the situation of the world being over-run by the zombie apocalypse, he is also considerably more emotional than the other characters featured in the movie. He tends to feature feminine behavior such as being very fearful towards the apocalypse and complaining about feeling like he has no one. An example would be when he first meets his counter-part Tallahassee. Columbus is walking down a highway that is covered with abandoned cars. While walking, Columbus notices

  • Columbus' Quest for Spice Trading Routes

    382 Words  | 1 Pages

    Some explorers were not looking for land to claim, but faster routes. Columbus went exploring trying to find a faster way to Asia/India for spice trading. The reason for this was because his country was receiving Asian Spices from Muslims(Document 3). In order to get the spices from the Muslims, high prices had to be paid since it was exchanged from person to person. Columbus went sailing and found an area that had inhabitants who looked like people he has never seen before which he assumed were Indians. Columbus saw they had foods he never had before and he started trading with them. He brought over foods such as the Irish Potato, Florida Oranges, Colombian Coffee, and French Vanilla Ice cream, for trading purposes(Document 6). All of those

  • Blacula and Vampire in Brooklyn

    1365 Words  | 3 Pages

    One of the movies I’ve decided to research is Blacula, directed by William Crain, and starring William Marshall as Blacula and Vonette McGee as Tina, his long lost companion. The other movie I chose to compare it to is Vampire in Brooklyn, directed by Wes Craven and starring Eddie Murphy as Maximilian, Det. Rita Veder played by Angela Bassett, and Det. Justice played by Allen Payne. Due to Blacula’s and Vampire in Brooklyn’s popularity, one would assume that these movies would in some way resemble each other. This is not entirely true in this case. Vampire in Brooklyn borrows a few small elements from Blacula, but as far as striving to be a Blacula remake; the movie does not attempt to do so. Directors Wes Craven and William Crain derived their storylines and overall ideas from the original story of Bram Stoker’s Dracula, Nosferatu, and Francis Ford Coppola’s Dracula.

    Also, Columbus could be described as a self-centered and delusional man. His critics have described him as not a genius, but a "stubborn ego maniac who convinced himself that the world was about 25 percent smaller than it actually is." Columbus believed that he was saving the souls of his captives and granting them eternal life by taking the natives out of their environment and shipping them back to Spain. He even went so far as to believe that he was getting "personal messages from above".

    I didn?t know much about Columbus, but when it was taught to us as a class, which was rarely, the lessons were brief and covered only the ?positive? things that he did. That is, from the eyes of those who believe Columbus was a noble man. It wasn?t until 6th grade when my teacher showed my class the book Lies My Teacher Told Me: Everything Your American History Textbook Got Wrong by James W. Loewen that we opened our eyes and saw reality. We had been deceived. Deceived by videos. Deceived by books. Deceived by teachers. But at least it felt good to know the truth-finally.

  • Theme Of Zombies Chasers

    The theme of Zombie Chasers is basically they had to stay together to get survive the attack of the zombies. One reason why I thought this was the theme was because if they didn’t get advice from Madison they would have turned into zombies. Another example they had to stay together is when they had to go to a mart to get Ginkgo Biloba but the door was closed so Rice said to get in by the little window. The last example is when Madison’s dog was kidnapped by a Zombie (Zoe), Zack knocked him out and saved the puppy. This is the Theme of the book of Zombie Chaser.

  • Goodbye Columbus

    1924 Words  | 4 Pages

    Sometimes there are two novels that have the same theme, and sometimes they have the same plot, but in the case of the two novels, The Great Gatsby, by F. Scott Fitzgerald, and the novel Goodbye Columbus, by Philip Roth they explore the same dynamics of the chase of the American dream. In both novels there are similar themes, they both use the idea of sex and money as a form of power. Both novels can relate to each other because the authors decided to show how the pursuit of the American dream may not always be a good thing, and how sex and money can cause problems in that pursuit. Overall in both of the novels the reoccurring theme of sex, money and the search for the American dream is present and in both novels the authors show that just because it may seem like someone may have everything, that is not always the case. The idea of the new world verses the old world is a major premise in the novel Goodbye Columbus. In this novel there are two families who live very different lives. The Patimkin family, and the Klugman family. They represent the struggle between the new and old world. The Patimkin family is the wealthy middle-class family and they live in the hills, they also belong to the country club, which is a representation of having money and living the American dream. The idea of belonging to the country club is a major part of the novel.

  • Columbus Day and Christopher Columbus

    613 Words  | 2 Pages

    “In fourteen hundred ninety-two, Columbus sailed the ocean blue”, starts the beginning of one of history’s biggest fabrications. We teach our children to be honest and truthful, but then lie to them for the first six to eight years of their educational lives about their own history. For in fact, Columbus did not discover America and did not unveil the myth regarding the world being flat. At the moment, I have yet to discover if Christopher Columbus ever discovered anything at all. Knowing the meaning of discovery, the land that Columbus reached from his voyage and the unorthodox events that occurred after Columbus’ adventure; I do not celebrate Columbus Day. I enjoy the day off from work, as do most Americans that observe the day; but Columbus Day should not be an American holiday for many apparent reasons.

  • The Image of Christopher Columbus

    2959 Words  | 6 Pages

    Christopher Columbus is honored as the man who opened the doors to an Age of Discovery and exploration. Although he may not have been the first European to set foot onto the Americas, he did begin a wave of exploration in a new hemisphere. The time period of the age of discovery follows the end of the Middle Ages, which Columbus himself is a product. If it were not Columbus that brought European settlement to the New World, then it would have been some other explorer who probably started out with the same goals and ideas.

  • Dracula and the Mafia

    “If we fail in this our fight he must surely win; and then where end we? Life is nothings…but to fail here is not mere life or death. It is that we become as him; that we hence forward become foul things of the night like him–without heart or conscience, preying on the bodies and the souls of those we love best” (Stoker 253). With these words Van Helsing explains that it is a human impulse to destroy the other out of fear of becoming the other. Dracula’s otherness frightens Van Helsing because he represents the destruction of human moral. If he does not kill the other, he will ultimately become the other capable of infinite evils. If we are to remain as moral individuals we must beat “the other” which seeks to destroy us. In essence it is the notion “kill or be killed”. To save ourselves, we must kill the other.
