If Roland Emmerich (The Director) is making lousy movies of how the world ends, he’s at least making proper movies like Independence Day and White House Down, according to critics. Roland is known for these thriller’s but, has only succeeded once in a while. White House Down tries this out with actors Jamie Foxx and Channing Tatum. We’ve seen Tatum perform within the movies 21 Jump Street, the G.I. Joe series and many more. Jamie Foxx has

James Carville: Guard Dog of the White House James Carville has been one of President Clinton’s most adamant supporters throughout the impeachment crisis. Carville is a veteran campaign strategist who headed Clinton’s campaign in 1992 and has advised him since the campaign. His harsh and sometimes wild criticisms of Clinton’s opponents have made Carville the rhetorical attack dog of the Democratic Party. The purpose of Carville’s attacks was to rally support for Clinton. Fighting for Clinton was
deeply rooted in today’s times. In the resilient poems, “The White House” by Claude Mckay and “These are the Times We Live In” by Imtiaz Dharker, the poets recognize and express the need for change in society. Both poems express the resilience of the minority groups of the United States as they fight for equality and in general – what is right for the people.

Similarly, Linden Lark explicitly asserts his views of white supremacy in a conversation with Joe, the main character of the novel and an Indian. The Lark family, a White family living near the reservation, is infamous for their negative views of Indians and their efforts to oppress them. Linden, the antagonist of the novel, epitomizes his family’s racist views. While Joe is working at a gas station on the reservation, Linden arrives to fill his car and engages in a conversation with Joe. Linden

In A Doll’s House by Henrik Ibsen, “Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been?” by Joyce Carol Oates, and “Hills Like White Elephants” by Ernest Hemingway, there are many aspects throughout them that relate to each other in numerous ways. The main theme between them is the way woman are treated and how they appear to
the way black Americans are treated. The White House is the centre of American politics, thus placing the American government at the centre of this poem. The poet feels that society is to benefit white citizenship and that the United States is only for one skin colour. The White House is metaphorically meaning he is shut out from society; he is being shut out due to his race. It is also a pun as this centre of politics is in fact called the “white” house.

“The Japanese Quince”, “A Haunted House”, and “Hills Like White Elephants” all have themes of love, but each type of love is different from each other. One is the story of someone afraid to face their love, due to being ashamed. “A Haunted House” shares the love of a ghostly couple as they find their love in a young couple. “Hills Like White Elephants” reveals the terrors of a love gone wrong.

It really gave life to African Americans and helped reform the overall meaning and form of life for them. “The White House” uses imagery and “I, Too” uses perspective to suggest that we should not let the way others see us derail our dreams. The poem “The White House” uses imagery to convey the idea of not letting other’s opinions disturb
As you walk up to the Little White House, one can only think that how can an important man like Franklin D. Roosevelt have built such a simple yet beautiful house. With its plain white paint and clapboard shuttered windows, it’s hard to believe that some of the most important legislative decisions to Georgia and the United States as a whole could have been thought out and planned here.
