LAWRENCE of ARABIA question?
551146
It’s been a long time since I have seen it but if I remember correctly, Lawrence had slip his trolley a long time before that scene and the dialog contained in that scene was a key factor. Something about a hospital with no running water…disgraceful, disgraceful! And the lack of running water was because the British wouldn’t help the Arabs fix the electrical plant…something like that.

I don't have a copy of it here but I would like to remind you - and the rest of the ummah worldwide - that it was a work of _fiction_! Like the DaVinci Code. I've read almost every fictional thing Rushdie has written and he never just sticks in sotto voce comments that are 'Rushdie's idea'. So you'll find that this comment is also put in the mouth of a fictional character.\n\nReally! You need to learn the difference between fiction and non-fiction! Check Wikipedia or something.

You're on to something here. I'm starting to think that the Trojan war was over oil, too. How else could they get that big Horse into Troy?

Acually its 4 movies according to this quote.\n\nGood Luck\n\nJimmy\n\n"Before I go off and direct a movie I always look at 4 films. They tend to be: "Seven Samurai" [Shichinin no samurai (1954)], Lawrence of Arabia (1962), _It's A Wonderful LIfe (1955)_ , and The Searchers (1956)."

just watch it. it might help if you read the book but prolly not cause if you are like me you'll be so busy bitching about how they slaughtered the book that you will actually miss the movie. So maybe it is better not to have read the book. Now having seen the History Channel thingymajigger on it I would suggest that you go into the theatre with a very open mind,cause some of the things that they are suggesting goes against everything that we have been raised to believe (if you were raise Catholic or Christian) or that you have heard around you (which you can't miss unless you live in a cave but obviously you don't so you know what I am talking about!)

Sure.  For some good ideas, I'd check out the original Oklahoma movie as well as the newer Oklahoma filming of the play (it has Hugh Jackson in it).  You'll need to decide if you want to make your version of Oklahoma more modern or set it in the past.  I've seen both versions and I like the one set in the past more, but maybe that's because I'm a historian.  :-)

.2 Stephen Lawrence had been with his friend Duwayne Brooks during the afternoon of 22 April. They were on their way home when they came at around 22:30 to the bus stop in Well Hall Road with which we are all now so familiar. Stephen went to see if a bus was coming, and reached a position almost in the centre of the mouth of Dickson Road. Mr Brooks was part of the way between Dickson Road and the roundabout when he saw the group of five or six white youths who were responsible for Stephen's death on the opposite side of the road. \n\n1.3 Mr Brooks called out to ask if Stephen saw the bus coming. One of the youths must have heard something said, since he called out "what, what nigger?" With that the group came quickly across the road and literally engulfed Stephen. During this time one or more of the group stabbed Stephen twice. One witness thought that Mr Brooks was also attacked in the actual physical assault, but it appears from his own evidence that he was a little distance away from the group when the killing actually took place. He then turned and ran and called out to Stephen to run and to follow him. \n\n1.4 Three eye witnesses were at the bus stop. Joseph Shepherd knew Stephen. He boarded a bus which came to the stop probably as Stephen fell. He went straight to Mr & Mrs Lawrence's house and told them of the attack. Alexandra Marie also boarded the bus. She was seen later, and gave all the help she could. Royston Westbrook also boarded the bus. It was he who believed that Mr Brooks had also been physically attacked. None of these witnesses was able later to identify any of the suspects. All of them said that the attack was sudden and short.

The back of the book will mention the oar O. had to carry.\n\nRead the book, already! It's the best adventure story ever written. There's lotsa sex!\n\nAnd if you want to impress your teacher, notice that whenever O. takes a bath, the goddess -- or her representative -- is present.

Try as I might, I was unable to locate very many actual pictures, though there is much reference to this obviously important WWII facility.\n\nMy suggestion is to contact some of the people whose email addresses appear at:\nhttp://www.wingsoverkansas.com/about/contributors.asp\n\nWings Over Kansas seems to have a lot of information about the entire pre - post war efforts in Wichita, and by personally contacting some of the historians and contributors, you could very well glean more information from them than is readily available on the web.\n\nGood luck with your search.  If I run across more, I will post it here.

I see you are having considerable difficulty getting help with this novel.  I haven't read the novel, but possibly some links that discuss cultural assimilation involving various groups, including  Americans of Asian background, may be useful to you.  \n\nThese links should get you started on your assignment.  I hope this helps.

QUESTION: Wasn’t it irresponsible for the Buddha to walk out on his wife and child?\n\nANSWER: It couldn’t have been an easy thing for the Buddha to leave his family. He must have worried and hesitated for a long time before finally leaving. But he had a choice, dedicating himself to his family or dedicating himself to the whole world. In the end, his great compassion made him give himself to the whole world. And the whole world still benefits from his sacrifice. This was not irresponsible. It was perhaps the most significant sacrifice ever made.\n\n-------------\n\ni also heard that it is her wife who ask Siddharta to give birth for her so she can remember him, she agree with Siddharta's search for truth.\nlater, i heard that his wife and his son and many family members also follows him.. (but you might want to validate it)

Okay. I know nothing about your movie but I'll try to compare it with things I know. Please let me know if I'm right or wrong.\n\n1. The use of white for good and black for evil may send the wrong message. Sounds more like profiling. Try "light" and "darkness". Gandalf is white because of the light that shines from him, but the evil guys aren't black.\n\n2. Is Rois the heir to the kingdom of Palor? Or is there a war between the heirs and Rois is the best warrior of the good guys? First one: LOTR:ROTK. Second one: Braveheart.\n\n3. Is this Rois? Was he raised in a mountain? You should emphazise the natural abilities for survival that would come with such an upbringing, unless he's raised by animals or something, which would imply some kind of power or different abilities altogether.(Please don't show his life since childhood. That would bring memories from Conan. Introduce him as a man.)\n\n4. Is Tareh good or evil? If good, this blood would be holy. If evil, then it would be a poison (Depending on who uses it. If Rois uses it on his weapons then it could kill evil things like demons or something.) Now, if Tareh is a place as the title implies, then at some point there is a masacre or a war in which blood is spilled. I can't think what happens after that. Maybe a war for revenge. Is that it? A war between Tareh and Palor?\n\n5. Meaning the main action takes place in the kingdom of Palor, from which Rois is a native(Just like Tatooine).\n\n6. Another guess. Is Arnot the evil heir to the kingdom of Palor? Or is he the greatest warrior of the evil side? Anyway, since Rois is the hero there's not much mystery.\n\n7. You don't specify if there is a sage or teacher or wise guy who guides Rois. You should add a character about that.\n\nSounds good in general, but a little unoriginal, since most situations have already been used in highly successful stories. The character Rois sounds a little stereotiped, like a composite of Aragorn, Luke Skywalker, William Wallace, He-Man, etc.(Please don't misunderstand me. Without knowing anything about your story, I'm only trying to give a honest answer. I apologize in advance. Looking forward for your message. I'd like to know more about it.)\n\nModification:\nLook, I tried to reply your message, but there was some problem with your adress or something I don't understand.\n\nAnyway, I didn't know the hero was a heroine. I guess if you apply all my conclussions to a female there's not much difference. The same stereotypes apply. There's Red Sonja, with Brigitte Nielsen, and in TV there was Xena(There's not a Star Wars geek in America who can't tell you about Xena, Warrior Princess). You may also want to watch Batman Returns, Elektra, Catwoman for reference on female heroines.

I believe that you will find this link somewhat useful as it does have dates that if you take the time might help you to track down the information that you are looking for because it seems that none want to put that information out where it can be found.  I even called the research department of the library on this - and they couldn't find the information.  Link is here:\n\nhttp://www.kansascity.com/mld/kansascity/news/opinion/14298154.htm\n\nYou will find the link in the "source" portion pretty informative.  Something that I ran into when I was trying to find it on my own on the net.

You would need to summarize the points that you made regarding their art, history, religion and culture.\n\nYou did make some comparisons to other cultures of the same time period, and current cultures, right?  Or what influence these all had on their people and society?\n\nThus your conclusion should flow from these comparisons and/or influence summaries.\n\nGood luck!

Years ago? how about centuries ago. Even Robin of Loxley (our hero Robin Hood) fought in our own holy war against the Muslim Turks. He knew the difference between right and wrong. Just look what he did with Maid Marion. Friar Tuck also once said "Kill those pesky goo goos".
