May 24, 2013
The title of Billy Wilder’s movie is named Some like It Hot. This movie is a good movie because it won an Oscar for best-costume design, Black-and-White by Orry-Kelly. They were also nominated for the best actor in leading role, best art direction-set, best cinematography, best director, and lastly best writing of the film (screenplay based on material from another medium). They have also won a Grammy award in 1959 for best sound track album, original cast-motion picture or television.

Forgiving By Gabriel Sams Picture yourself as a Jewish man known as Simon Wiesenthal. You are an inmate at a concentration camp in Poland when you are taken to a room occupied by Karl, a dying SS soldier. He confesses to a horrid crime of killing many innocent Jewish men, women, and children. He then asks for forgiveness. The man begs and pleads for an end to his guilt before he dies.

education, Orwell then served as Assistant Superintendent of Police in Burma between 1922 and 1928. He resigned and returned to England in 1928 having grown to hate imperialism as shown by his first novel Burmese Days, published in 1934, and by such essays as “A Hanging”, and “Shooting an Elephant”. These were written, however, well after his resignation as a colonial officer. Orwell lived for several years in poverty, sometimes homeless, sometimes doing itinerant work.

Tyja Braynen A.P Summer Assignment PART I In Orwell’s essay he argues that the English language has become “ugly and inaccurate because our thoughts are foolish, but the slovenliness of our language makes it easier for us to have foolish thoughts.” The sources were from two professors, a Communist pamphlet, an essay on psychology in Politics, and a letter in the Tribune. Orwell said that “when the general atmosphere is bad, language must suffer.” Orwell acknowledges how “political speech and writing…

is not just. A point brought up in the essay is that Native Americans are just that; native. The land belonged to them and was taken by the Europeans who now run the country. There was more taken from American Indians than is given to them by the government. In my opinion, the thing that comes most from the requirement of ID cards to a certain tribe is the opportunity for whites to complain about the ‘unfairness,’ just like the story accounted in this essay of the “male, white, blonde, and blue-eyed…
