One of the first and most significant films in American New Wave cinema, Arthur Penn’s Bonnie and Clyde (1967), revolutionized the movie industry by producing a motion picture mixed with graphic violence, humor, and moral ambiguity. With a similar revolutionary idea, Oliver Stone's Natural Born Killers (1994) used every cinematographic opportunity to disclose the incestuous relationship between crime, the media and pop culture. Although both films operate with similar themes such as undermining gender
Dear NCAA Executive Committee, My name is David Brown and I am the starting quarterback for the Nittany Lions here a Penn State University. I am writing to you on behalf of my fellow intercollegiate athletes, because I feel as though we are being used. Each year my Penn State teammates and I, as well as other high-profile college teams generate millions of dollars in revenue, yet we do not get paid for our services. Millions of dollars are made every year from food, drinks, tickets, and merchandise
Is Penn State tuition too expensive? The Pennsylvania State University is one of the biggest state universities in the nation, with over 40,000 students currently enrolled in that university system. It is also a very old school, with its 150th birthday coming up in the year of 2005. Over the last one and a half century, Penn State has produced the most number of alumni in the world. In my major, meteorology alone, famous alumni such as Jon M. Nese, Greg Forbes, and Joe Bastardi are contributing
ourselves, are paying to send us to college, once we get here accommodations should be available to us. Penn State’s dorm system does not guarantee housing after freshman year. The dorm rooms that are available are handed out by lottery. To avoid the risk of being homeless, one can get an apartment downtown, but even these are limited. The increased number of people being accepted to Penn State is making the problem worse. This editorial from The Daily Collegian focuses on that. The author starts

the issue of identity. For the African- American, "Alienated from the world to which he is born and from the country of which he is a citizen, yet surrounded by the successful values of that world, and country, how can the Negro define himself?" (Penn, p.17) Caliban, while he was not taken from his homeland, his homeland was taken from him and ruled by people very different from him socially and physically. As a result, he was told that his appearance and way of life were unacceptable. Instead
you actually get to meet the person you will be living with for the whole year. At Penn State there are no guarantees that you will have anything in common with your roommate at all, and that is a scary thing. As the Housing Administration of Penn State, I ask you to put yourself in the shoes of the incoming freshmen. As a freshman, you hope for a roommate you can relate to and spend your time with. But at Penn State the chances of you getting along with your roommate are slim to none. I know

The Pact The novel The Pact which was read over the summer by Penn State students was considered interesting to some and dull to others. I personally enjoyed the book since I could relate to the book in more ways than one. The story takes pace in an inner city setting with three young men who become doctors and plan to give back to the community in any way they possibly can. The three young men are known as Sam, George and Rameck. Each of these characters posses a different personality which
As Americans it's difficult for most of us to understand what William Penn and his fellow Quakers lived through, being a member of an outcast religious sect in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries in England was difficult, to say the least. The constant fear of persecution, discrimination, imprisonment, and even death was a reality most Quakers had to confront on a daily basis. So what was it about the Quakers' beliefs that led the monarchy, parliament, and the English citizenry in general to
The British colonies of Massachusetts Bay, Pennsylvania, and Maryland hold many divergent and comparable facts in regards to their beginnings as colonies, troubling periods of growth, and their ultimate status in regards to their relationship within the British Empire.

The economy was a vital component to the growth of the colony and greatly influenced
If I were a farmer on a small piece of land in England during the eighteenth century and got word about an opportunity to start my life over again in the New World, I would go for it. After reading the documents about Pennsylvania from this time, I think the chance of becoming more successful than I would be in England outweighs the risks that come with relocating to an uncertain land across the ocean. If I decided to immigrate, there would be doubts and fears in my mind from all of the uncertainty

Annonymous Prisoner, “The Trauma of Prison Rape” (Manner 130) The prisoner described the truth of jails as he is experiencing them now, while the original Quaker intentions had something much different in mind. The Quakers, who were led under William Penn, were the first group to set up an institutionalized system in the United States that dealt with punishment.
