The film depicts the fear and terrors that children in Beirut faced during the 1975 uprising that divided Christians and Muslims. The film is based on the boyhood memories of the director and writer.

However, the narrative, to some extent, departs from the confines and structure of the classic narrative.

Passion itself relates to feelings of infatuation or obsessing. Intimacy is akin to feelings of liking, or even sometimes friendliness, while commitment can be similar to ...

Oppression can target incarcerated individuals in many different ways, but minority groups are particularly at risk for oppression via incarceration. Individuals who are gay, bisexual, or transgender are significantly overrepresented in the American criminal justice system, according to Moodie-Millis (2015). In the criminal justice system, transgendered individuals can be oppressed by a system that requires them to identify with their birth gender rather than their selected gender (Plushnick-Masti, 2013). The system can also lead to fear of “coming out” as gay or bisexual due to fear of reprisals by staff, officers, and other inmates in the institution (Plushnick-Masti, 2013). ...

As a big fan of Science Fiction Horror movies, I like the types of aliens that are strong looking, love to exterminate anything, and take over the land to spread out their horrendous empire. To me aliens are pretty cool creatures to explore and learn about. Aliens have been known as strangers or outsiders who are not in the same category as human. Therefore, we believe if they really exist and the way they came on earth is because they want to suck the potential source that we have and start their invasion.

Toni Morrison’s Sula and Jamaica Kincaid’s “Girl” are two texts that explore the African-American woman’s quest for sexual and social autonomy, in that both texts contend that the African-American woman’s construction of a sexual identity is primarily shaped by the women who raise her, as well as societal expectations and traditions. The process by which an African-American mother or mother figure teaches a young African-American female about sexuality is often laden with religious indoctrination, accusations of licentiousness, personal anecdotes about male duplicitousness, and fearful warnings about chastity.
