The Garde members work together to defend one another and come across the entrance to the base where they suspect they will find the Loric ship, Six, and Sarah, John’s girlfriend during their efforts. They find all that and more, essentially leading them to an ultimate battle with Setrákus Ra. He renders the Garde members powerless and angry, but they manage to knock him out with a dart, regaining their Legacies and their hope for victory over the Mogadorians once and for all. However, Mogadorian soldiers storm in and begin to fire, leaving Eight, Ella, and Sarah close to death. The remaining Garde members fight off the Mogadorians and kill them, making time for Marina to use her healing Legacy to help Eight, Ella, and Sarah, but unfortunately she is only able to heal one person at a time. John runs to Ella and Sarah, grabs their hands, and they miraculously begin to heal, revealing one of John’s new Legacies. Six frees herself finally, but everyone is forced to flee because there are more soldiers on the way. The Garde members and Sarah leave, intact, united, and protecting the planet, but on the run once

This scene features Josey riding in on his horse, out numbered by the Commancheors, yet he still manages to kill them all with the quick draw of his pistols.

There is also the conflict of Josey trespassing on the land of the Comanches.

In The Last of the Mohicans, the English travelers are not used to the savage American forests. They are used to having tea on their lawns and garden parties every week. They are used to having whatever they want, whenever they want it. This Victorian lifestyle of having more than you could ever want, is very different from the the lifestyle of the Americas where you don’t have anything but the clothes you are wearing and the gun in your hand, and if you don't find food that day, you won't eat dinner that night. Even during combat, which Heyward was not unused to, the officers still traveled in luxury and were expected to be treated well even if they were captured. In this book, Duncan Heyward goes from a posh military man, who is not used to the woods, to being so good at being stealthy that he could be disguised as an Indian. David Gamut, a young psalmodist who was originally very frightened to be in the woods, not only turns into a more hardened man, but actually becomes a help during the battle against the Delawares. The harsh American landscaped changed these men into seasoned foresters.

Camera work plays a key role in establishing Nolan's style in the opening scenes of The Dark Knight. The different shots Nolan uses gives the audience a deeper understanding of the direction in which the film is going. We are introduced to the film with an establishing shot of Gotham City, as the camera zooms in on one particular building. This helps establish the location and setting, as there are several skyscrapers present and it is day time. The next important shot in the opening scenes is when the camera zooms in on a man's lower back and mask, standing at the corner of a road. Nolan uses this shot to signal to the audience that this man is involved, he is in the centre of the frame therefore he will be important.
When questioning whether or not Joseph Conrad was an imperialist, a racist or both for that matter, the answer should be quite obvious after reading some of his works, such as, Heart of Darkness.

The Kurtz in the movie however is an American colonel who broke away from the American army and decided to hide away in Cambodia, upon seeing the reality of the Vietnam War.

This book ends in a huge cliffhanger which the second book, Crooked Kingdom, starts off
