Rock Music
Words: 1153 / Pages: 5 .... it the name of Rock n' Roll. Record companies distributed records played by whites but composed by blacks. Whites were frustrated because there weren't any white artists, and they didn't want the blacks to be the stars until Bill Haley appeared with his "Rock Around the Clock". In this decade, Elvis Presley introduced a music that was sexual-suggestive, and outraged many adults of that time. In time, he changed the style of the music by adopting a country and western style and became a national hero.

Anti-Vietnam Movement In The U.S.
Words: 2765 / Pages: 11 .... the massive
antiwar efforts centered on the colleges, with the students playing leading
roles. These teach-ins were mass public demonstrations, usually held in
the spring and fall seasons. By 1968, protesters numbered almost seven
million with more than half being white youths in the college. The teach-
in movement was at first, a gentle approach to the antiwar activity.

especially when 25,000 people marched on Washington Avenue. And at time .....

My Darling Clementine - The Ef
Words: 370 / Pages: 2 .... no place in a seriously dramatic fantasy like Batman. It just would not fit. I think My Darling Clementine is different.
In this film the noir lighting style was effectively integrated into the story but for a much simpler purpose. Here in Clementine I think it's used merely as a pictorial element. A tool, to enhance a scene here and there with little relevance to the story line. This film did have very elaborate dark scenes but still not enough to put it under the label of noir as a whole. The difference is that here I belive that one of those "bright sunny day" sequences that I mentioned before would not look so out of place in a film like this. I .....

Words: 1196 / Pages: 5 .... not as rich as the church or the patrons of Lippi’s time. Therefore, the artists could not enjoy the protection of this new class for years.

Psycho Film Review
Words: 328 / Pages: 2 .... save both time and money. The acting in this movie was well done, but my opinion is that some of Marion's expressions and the appearence that something is wrong were just too aparent.
The movie is mainly about a girl who decides to take a little money, gets killed, and her family and friends try to find out what actually happened to her. That is not the only way the plot goes, though. After the introduction of Norman, we realize that something is wrong inside his head. This develops through the end where we find out what is really wrong with him. This isn't really a side plot, just a developing issue.
This is an excellent movie from all point .....

Words: 3475 / Pages: 13 .... of its neighbors was by taking it in the most common, human way, which is through war.
However, because the memory of the words of some great US presidents was still strong in the nation's mind, the US government could not just start a war for territorial control. By doing so the US risked being labeled as a hypocrite nation, for the US itself used to be a colony. But the politicians, and the business owners did not give up their domination dreams and silently awaited an opportunity. That opportunity finally came when Spain sent troops to Cuba to stop the second Cuban war for independence. The American people sympathized the Cuban effort for indep .....
