The movie‚ Philadelphia‚ was an excellent example of the severe discrimination many people with Aids are exposed to. In this instance the main character‚ Andy‚ was also gay. Unfortunately‚ in our society‚ he was faced with a double whammy. The gay issue is controversial enough‚ but to compound that in the work force with having Aids would be almost unbearable for any person to cope with. Tom Hanks played Andy with a serious need to communicate to the viewers how everyday life‚ work‚ emotions and

I these two images give a great explanation of the book and have true meaning to it. In one quote Holden says‚"I was trying to feel some kind of a good-by . . .

It’s the big city everyone

If you apply this logic to Curley’s wife and Crooks in the book‚ Of Mice and Men‚ you will find that they are the same in many ways despite their differences in race and sex. These two unfortunate souls live in a world full of shattered dreams‚ discrimination‚ and loneliness. Langston Hughes once said‚ "Hold fast to dreams for if dreams die‚ life is a broken winged bird that

Writing Topic : Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? One should never judge a person by external appearances. I certainly agree with the above statement. “Never judge a book by its cover.” The word “book” also refers to person. External appearances can trick us.

The cover is a turnoff. If someone told me to choose the book that
