A composer can create images dependant on the form of the language of texts to shape a responders understanding of the ideas and themes prompted by people and their experiences. The German film, ‘Run Lola Run’ written and directed by Tom Tykwer, focuses on the experiences of the protagonist Lola to explore the themes of the inevitable force of time, and the issue of freewill verses determinism. Similarly, Dorothea Mackellar, in her poem ‘My Country’, relies on her experiences of the Australian landscape
Run Lola Run is a film set in Berlin, Germany, where in the opening sequence we are introduced to a bird's-eye view of the entire setting; which is a view of Berlin's old city urban streets. The film was originally an art festival film, which allowed the auteur/director, Tom Tykwer, to experiment with several and generally risky and non-commercial camera angles and visual features to create the film's idiosyncratic emphasis on time, fate and human urgency. In doing so we are first shown a bird's-eye

story was published, the theme, and the irony and symbolism used in the story. The idea for “The Life You Save May Be Your Own” can be found by looking into the literary movement of that era, Christian realism. Christian realism was developed by Reinhold Niebuhr in the late 1940s and early 1950s. The idea of Christian Realism is heaven can not be achieved by those on Earth because the human nature is corrupt and morally flawed (Niebuhr).

H. Richard Niebuhr’s piece “Christ and Culture,” is a piece that takes an in depth look at relationship between Christ and society. What Niebuhr thinks the major problem is how can Jesus interconnect with human-made culture? He points out that Christ is sinless and we are imperfect, and since we created culture it is imperfect, so how can a being that is perfect connect with something that is at its roots, fundamentally imperfect. He goes on to show five different ways that Christians attempt to

Rahner contends, and taking us closer to social justice and confidence with our purpose in life. To support my claim, I will mainly draw on three theologians who share a similar perspective on our predicament. To begin, I was struck by theologian Reinhold Niebuhr’s view of anxiety.

What I took most out of Niebuhr’s text is that anxiety often leads us to overachieve or underachieve
Reinhold Niebuhr Theologian, ethicist, and political analyst, Reinhold Niebuhr was a towering figure of twentiethcentury religious thought. He is well known and is appreciated for many reasons among American theologians. Niebuhr had a very strong opinion and much to say when it came down to man and violence in regards to peace and war. Although he thought of himself as a preacher and social activist, the influence of his theological thought on the field of social ethics and on society
The archangel Metatron was nothing short of devoted to his cause. Centuries upon centuries ago, the scribe of Heaven told the stories of Earth, Paradise, and Perdition to the humans and ethereal beings who would listen; throughout this, his God insisted upon His supremacy, even reprimanding the scribe to assert His divine status. In a more recent era, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. inscribed a letter to emphasize the black community’s need for justice, prose heard by both believers and nonbelievers
No Good Answers There are few issues for writers of prose, poetry, or lyrics more controversial than abortion. It inflames most who read it, and the issue can seldom be resolved without animosity. Ernest Hemingway and the Ben Folds / Darren Jessee songwriting duo circumvent this problem by not actually letting the audience know the final outcome. That decision is left to the individual reader or listener. Ernest Hemingway tackles this risky subject in his1927 short story “Hills like White
"Every second of every day you are faced with a decision that can change your life. The difference between life or death can be decided in a split second" (IMDb). Run Lola Run is an excellent 80-minute German film written/directed by Tom Tykwer and edited by Mathilde Bonnefoy that has a four part "What if" style genre. The movie just throbs with kinetic energy mixed with a case of Monster Energy Drinks. It is so fast-paced that it is like a roller coaster that is unstable with each twist and
