“I know what you're thinking. Did he fire six shots or only five? Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement, I've kinda lost track myself. But being as this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya punk?” (Clint Eastwood) From the beginning of wars, hunting, and sport, man has striven to find the most powerful and sufficient caliber for the handiest gun around, the hand
running. After he gives the hotdog joint owner strict instruction to call the police department and tell them that there is a robbery in progress, the bank sirens begin to sound. Immediately, Inspector Callahan exits the restaurant, pulls out his 44 magnum and starts walking towards the bank when he sees an African American male in a purple shirt holding a shot gun and trying to get away in the brown ford parked beside the street. Callahan confronts the individual, the suspect fires his shot just
Capa started the cooperative photo agency known as Magnum. Magnum was born because of a struggle between photojournalists and magazines. Magazines were constantly taking advantage of photographers. Magnum was established to end this by having its members band together as a group and establish strict guidelines for magazine payment and usage rights. Magnum represents only its members and its members stand behind one another. Over the years Magnum has evolved into kind of an elite club. I believe it
photojournalism. In 1980, the W. Eugene Smith fund was founded to promote humanistic photography to carry on his legacy (Magnum Photos). This fund showed a change in the photography world due to W. Eugene Smith, and his nontraditional methods in photography.

Art according to the Webster’s dictionary,” art: works created by artists: paintings, sculptures, etc. that are created to be beautiful or to express important ideas or feelings.” Art can be beautiful, confusing, offensive, and stir emotions in people one may not anticipate. The question that one may ask is, “How does one determine what art is?” Art is to one person different to someone else. Art is subjective to anyone’s beliefs, styles, and opinions. Graffiti is a great example of this unanswered

“I try with my pictures to raise a question, to provoke a debate, so that we can discuss problems together and come up with solutions.” In this essay I aim to address the question how does Sebastiao Salgardo’s activist photography reflect against media journalism? I will be looking into a brief history of the movement of activist photography and will also looking into Sebastian’s background. I believe that Salgardo paints a true picture of what is going on in the country’s around the world, he visits
The Aging of Hamlet "Books are not absolutely dead things, but do contain a potency of life in them to be as active as that soul was whose progeny they are" Milton I Read Hamlet the other day. It had changed considerably since I last read it. Hamlet himself was somewhat thinner, I thought; but he had also mellowed considerably; he was rather less cynical and a little more tolerant than he had been. Polonius was definitely more senile than before. Ophelia was less silly, and more of a pathetic
“The true test of the greatness of a work of art is its ability to be understood by the masses.” The statement "The true test of the greatness of a work of art is its ability to be understood by the masses;" is highly problematic. Art in itself has an ambiguous definition that combines concepts of aesthetics and personal emotion. When one thinks of art, it becomes clear that the definition of art is too abstract. Art can be anything from cavepaintings to heiroglypics and pottery. Does this
Dirty Harry(1971) is the movie my arguments are based around along with these Westerns that portray white male power, traditional values, and vigilantism such as McLintock! (1963) and A Fistful of Dollars (1964). Clint Eastwood the star in Dirty Harry and A Fistful of Dollars shows the white, masculine male as the strength and the man who brings justice, law, and order to the city where a lot of change has taken place recently with the hippie counter culture movement.. John Wayne the star of McLintock
Dostoevsky’s Notes from the Underground and Martin Scorsese’s Taxi Driver, written by Paul Schrader, both tell the same story about a man who is lonely and blames the world around him for his loneliness. The characters of Underground Man and Travis Bickle mirror each other; they both live in the underground, narrating their respective stories, experiencing aches and maladies which they leave unchecked, seeing the city they live in as a modern-day hell filled with the fake and corrupt. However, time
Police do use lethal weapons against threats, but what do they use when a riot breaks out, they use non-lethal weapons, does it help the problem in hand, does it reduce the crime with riots, or does it stop the riot that is spreading. The background on police using non-lethal weapons is not so great for example the protest in Waco, Texas compound when the FBI using gas to get the people in there out. Turned into everybody in there died including all of the children, nobody came out alive except two

48 hours is a surprisingly well crafted action comedy that has often been recognized as being the first, “buddy cop” film. This genre developed throughout the 1980’s and 1990’s, with hit features such as Lethal Weapon, Stakeout, Rush Hour, Beverly Hills Cop and Tango and Cash. Released in 1982 and directed by Walter Hill, it teamed veteran actor Nick Nolte with a 21 year old Saturday Night Live comedian, Eddie Murphy. Murphy plays Reggie Hammond, a quick thinking street smart convict who is released
rights. In short Scorpio breaks laws, but law enforcement isn’t able to bring him to justice and thus since the only person who wants justice and is willing to do so by any means the audience turns to Harry. After Harry kills Scorpio his way (with a .44 Magnum), he throws his badge into the water. Explicitly this is a simple action, but on the implicit level Dirty Harry no longer does things through the law because the law was the only thing to stop him from getting to Scorpio
Hunting has been a passion in the United States for a long time. It’s what the people do after they shoot the animal that makes things interesting and fun about shooting a trophy animal. Mounting a game animal takes talent and you have to have a steady hand to make sure that it meets certain specifications. What are the processes of ways to mount an animal? Hunting has become one of most popular sports, dating all the way back to the first Homo Sapiens known as hunter-gatherers. They were called
William Faulkner was a god-fearing man, and wrote to similar people. However, in his Magnum Opus, “The Sound and The Fury”, Faulner goes out of his way to take another look at the Christian faith, highlight the negatice aspects of Christ, and them contrasting them with the glory and holiness of the resurrection. In “The Sound and The Fury”, each one of the narrative characters represents a single aspect of a flawed Christ, while a simple the family caretaker, represents the glory and goodness of
