Question number 4. During a skirmish between the two belligerent camps, one of the rangers is hurt and the group decides to return. Ethan along with Lucy's lover, Brad, and Aaron's adopted son, Martin, decide to move on regardless to the fact that the rangers leave.

The Searchers is one of the most renowned Westerns mainly because it has John Wayne starring in it and because of its confusing, yet clever, plot which keeps the audience captivated. The movie is certainly representative for the genre because it complies with most of the rules that such films needs to conform to.
The movie is also believed to be characteristic for the United States from the period following the Civil War. Ford apparently tries to justify Ethan's racism through the fact that the character has been compelled to act accordingly because of the fact that Indians have destroyed his brother's family.
As he comes home, Ethan visits his brother, Aaron, and gives money and presents to him and to his two daughters, Lucy and Debbie. Just when Ethan leaves his brother's farm, a group of Comanche Indians raid the farm, murdering most of Aaron's

Ethan and Martin realize that they have lost track of the Indians and return to the farm. It takes more than five years until the two manage to receive information regarding Lucy's whereabouts. To their surprise, they also find that Lucy had become the lover of Scar, a Comanche tribe chief.
He is determined to kill both Lucy and Scar as a result. Martin joins him and they both find the tribe and manage to capture and kill Scar. Martin saves Lucy just as Ethan is about to kill her. The movie ends with Ethan bringing Debbie back to the safety or her friends.
The Searchers manages to keep tension among the audience from the beginning and until the end. The movie's commercial success and the fact that people still regard it as being remarkable in the present days prove that it truly is one of the greatest films in history.

Freedom Riders The purpose of the Freedom Rides was to draw attention to the racial disparities and racism that existed in the United States in 1961 at the time of the rides. The riders were going to ride on integrated buses through the South where the racism was most intense. They were looking to encounter situations in which there was prejudice and bigotry so that they could provide an example to
Who said, "Almost every movement that has taken place since the civil rights movement received its mojo from the men and women who you will see tonight. Whether the movement began in South Africa or Eastern Europe, they looked at the success of the Freedom Riders and saw the success of the men and women who put themselves on the line in order to create a new kind of
Riders to the Sea John Millington Synge's poetic drama and one-act play Riders to the Sea is an understated look at a family's relationship with the sea, at a time when it provided both the sustenance and eventual death for a substantial number of men. The play uses the familiar trope of the wife and mother worried about her male family members dying at sea, but it complicates this trope by
Which is the better course of action, Lawrence might ask himself. Should we censor the Westboro Baptist Church and forbid them their right to free speech, or should we allow them to express their wacky, and perhaps injurious views, and fight back with words of compassion, caring, and support. Just because we would like to make a knee-jerk, reactionary law and censor them does not make it the right
