Rama And Luke
646 wordsThe reason myths are studied in today's culture are because the stories are about the human condition, not about time or place.

Cool Hand Luke
513 wordsNever Say Die! Of all the films that were released in 1967 few had the power and stamina of displaying detailed characterizations in the manner of which 'Cool Hand Luke' did. Its strong message of individuality was a welcomed choice in the 20th century's most turbulent decade, which of course were the 1960's. Based on the novel by Donn Pearce and adapted for the screen by Pearce and Frank R. Pierson and Oscar nominated for Screenplay Adaptation, 'Cool Hand Luke' opens with a lazy and most effect...

Written As Some Of Luke's Passages
495 wordsThe crucifixion periscope is one of the most read and studied stories of the gospels, second only to the story of the resurrection. Luke's presentation of the darkest day in Christianity is appropriately not as poetic and literary elegant as some of his other writings, yet dramatic.

Civil disobedience is ...
