Perhaps the greatest war in American History, the Civil War, fought over one hundred and fifty years ago, is considered to be the bloodiest battle and most unique because of the number of casualties and the fact that it was the only war fought on American soil.

However, the rebuilding of the South and the new laws that were to be enacted to stop any other wars breaking out that would divide the Union were an endeavor that would shape the future of the South, North and the rest of the United States for many years. The freeing of the slaves in the South has led to many other equality reforms throughout the years which have made all men

A Prisoner’s Journey Introduction A journey is often more important than the destination you reach; a popular message that is represented in both the films Cool Hand Luke and Shawshank Redemption. Both of these movies focus on the themes of determination and self worth, even while being set in the bleak lives of prisoners in high-security prisons with seemingly no hope. Still, these films create a sense of motivational drive in individuals and have even changed the lives of the people who view them. Furthermore, it is these themes that caused both of the films to gain popularity in average film goers and critics alike, reaching the status of critical acclaim and cementing themselves in the archives of cinematic history.

The film 13th directed by Ava DuVernay targets an intended audience of the Media and the three branches of the United States government with an emphasis that mass incarceration is an extension of slavery. It is intended to inform viewers about the criminalization of African Americans and the United States prison boom. 13th uses rhetorical devices in its claim to persuade the viewers by using exemplum in the opening seconds of the film. President Barack Obama presents statistics, saying “the United States is home to 5% of the world’s population but is home to 25% of the world’s prisoners.” Also the film uses a hyperbole in talking about the movie Birth of a Nation produced in 1915 which portrays a black man as a violent savage who will kill white women.
Walt Disney made many films for Americans during the Great Depression and harsh times of the Second World War.

He started making movies to bring happiness to everyone during the Great Depression, but what not everyone knows, he was labeled as a “Nazi.” During World War II, he made propaganda films for the Allies while attending the Nazi rallies.

George Lucas' Star Wars has been an "unprecedented commercial success in the history of cinema and has made a huge cultural impact" (Feichtinger 28). It is a popular franchise and is widely known all over the world. Star Wars plays a major role in influencing the youth and sending a message to everyone, especially the fans. George Lucas said that he wanted to do more than entertain the masses; he wanted to "introduce young Americans to spiritual teachings through 'new myths' for our globalized, pluralistic millennium" (Burke). These spiritual teachings and motifs are seen throughout the Star Wars movies and they "promote values and worldviews", which are adopted from Buddhism (Feichtinger 34).
A textbook example of this is the animated television show The Clone Wars (Dave Filoni, George Lucas 2008-2015). This show fits chronologically between the second and third ‘prequel’ movies Attack of the Clones (George Lucas, 2002) and Revenge of the Sith (George Lucas, 2005). The show bridged the time gap between the two movies, allowing dedicated viewers to fill in the gaps that the original story left and learn a more detailed story. It also bridged the generation gap for viewers, as Star Wars fans are typically older, or young adults, as that is when the movies originally came out. This show is animated and intended for children, allowing the franchise to hook younger viewers, as well as providing more engaging narrative for the very active audiences who tend to consume all the content they can find (Loads 2014).
