Empire of the Sun

Empire of the Sun

The two characters I am going to be talking about are Jim and Jamie. These two people are played by the same person but at different times in his life. He changes his life style to adapt to the conditions his life is put in when World War II starts and he loses everything he use to hold dear and near to him.

In the beginning of the movie Jamie is this spoiled rich kid who does and gets what ever he wants he has his whole life ahead of him. His parents are there for him and he is curious of all the surrounding around him. He has servants and he is waited on hand and foot. He doesn’t do anything for himself. His house is a mansion and he has his own room and plenty of money. He doesn’t have a care in the world.

By the end of the movie he has changed his name to Jim and has to survive in the world without his mother and father. He does find friendship in a man named Basie, but he is mostly independent and he is very strategic. He learns to trade things and he also wants to be an American, which was obviously the most powerful group in the interment camps. He forms his own family and has his own morals, which helps him to become strong during his time of need.

When the war is over he is faced with the hard decisions.
The American soldiers come and take him to an orphanage where
He sees his parents and they look exactly as they had when he had lost them in the crazy war, but he had changed entirely inside and out his own father didn’t notice him.

Theme to Of Mice of Men

What do call someone that takes a "special" person everywhere you go? You call them George. My theme for of Mice and Men is the American Dream, because in this book everyone has a dream. The three main people who had a dream were Lennie, George, Candy and Curley’s wife.

First,Curley’s wife had a big dream to be a movie star. “Went out to the riverside dance palace with him, he says he was going to put me in the movie. Soon he got back to Hollywood he was gonna write to me about it.” But they were playing her dream because they didn’t care about her big dream that she had. She was only women in the plot. I think she want to be with other men because she wanted something new in a life. But she could not complete this dream because she was killed by Lennie.


Second,I this book lennie had a dream. His dream was a little place. Lennie wanted to "tend rabbits". Although he had a mind of a young child he still has a dream. He wanted a big land were he and George can called their own and also a farm.He wanted a dream with George in it, I think if George was not there would have been no Lenny. But his dream cane to an end because George took his life.

Then,George, Lennie ,and Candy shared the same dream which was to live off of the “fat of the land” by getting an acre of land and a home they can call their own. George & Lennie wanted to be their own bosses. Lennie’s only dream was to tend to the rabbits. I think out of this whole book he is the only one to even get a chance to complete his dream.

In conclusion, in this book every one had a dream, but different dreams.I think Steinbeck wanted to show people how everyone has a dream of their own. People like Lennie who had the mind of a young child he had a dream. Some people’s dream is to become a movie star but other people always put your dream on line, because they said I will called you back when I come back from Hollywood. But they lie to you they all got you hop up but it never happen like Curley’s Wife. A man who put his dream on hold to take care of someone who are unable to think own this and can’t survive on his own.

Reports from Last Week Service Learning

I am in the Fundred Dollar Bills Service Learnig Group. So far we talked about the conditions in New Orleans. In the tourist areas it was no real damage but in regular neigborhoods nothing really happened. The house are still a wreck with the same signs on the buildings that counted how many died or how many were founded alive. Then we talked about how we can get people draw fundred dollar bills. This week I look forward to calling the schools to see if other art classes can draw it so we can start collecting fundred dollar bills. Or we can host a stand in some type of business that we can get anybody to draw one. Are goal is to get 1,000,000 in Fundred dollar Bills.

Service Learning Project

For my Service Learning Project I am apart of Ms.Klose group for Fundred Dollar Bills. Are goal is to get people to draw a $100 dollar bill to go toward New Orleans. We are trying to rreach $1,000,000 dollars. I picked this group because I think nobody really been worried about New Orleans but there still is problems.
