Poe's "The Man of the Crowd" As a Satire of the Penny Press In the mid-nineteenth century , the "penny newspaper" could be found on almost every American urban street corner.

In truth, humans are disconnected from the real world and are living in a virtual reality. This is the world of The Matrix. This virtual reality of the Matrix is not far off from the world we live in, as is described by Lacan. Basically, we live in a world based on rules and order which disconnects
The Architect of the Studio System They called him “the boy wonder.” A man who was well beyond his time when it came to techniques and producing cinematic content.

Due to their thorough auditioning processes, they have a group of musicians, who can play extremely well, all of whom are brought together to entertain the crowds on their three month tour in the summer.
