    When examining On the Rainy River by Tim O’Brien from a reader-response perspective it becomes clear that contrary to popular belief courage does not come from engaging yourself in dangerous situations, it comes from not letting anyone come between you and your morals and beliefs. O’Brien found peace when he fled, and he felt miserable, like a coward when he caved in and went to war. Through careful analysis, my mind interprets the text in a way that shows how you are not brave for doing what you are forced to do.

  • Conspiracy Themes In Film

    1842 Words  | 4 Pages

    In this essay, we will explore a couple films made in the last decade which were structured over a heavy infrastructure of paranoia and conspiracy themes. Often times, these movies feature one individual who daylights a controlling, malevolent force, often by a government agency or a small group of cunning plotters. Then, the protagonist will attempt, often with success, to destroy or interrupt the opposing conspirators. From the anti-masonic movement at the end of the eighteenth century to the McCarthy witch-hunt in the last century, we see that the conspiracy thinking has infiltrated popular culture. It appears in films since the cold war and continues in today’s hit movies, whether comedy or drama.
