Before I returned back to Caster, it was just another tumble-weed town that offered no path to advance in life. I was happy to get away from my childhood acquaintances that were never true friends and move away to the busy city of Penceville, Georgia which is located just north of Atlanta.

As a huge advocate for the permanent urban underclass, I enjoyed the Katherine Newman readings, Getting Stuck, Moving Up and Getting a Job in the Inner City. Specifically, what stood out with these readings was the methodical approach that she took while examining individuals within the lower class who were searching for the pathway towards upward mobility.

López in Julianne Burton’s influential collection The Social Documentary in Latin America (1990), Patrick Blaine notes that Guzmán’s film “seamlessly integrate[s] a number of key narrative devices [. . . ] that ma[ke] it a truly innovative project, surpassing the paradigm of the [documentary] genre in the New Latin American cinema movement and indicating the direction he would take with his later films.” Blaine notes

They are back in their town where they became vampires. Majority of the society would agree that this is not the type of people they would like to be friends. People wouldn’t want to associate themselves with vampires. Vampire theme shows are a popular trend in modern day. Vampire diaries is popular television
Both versions of ‘‘The Crimson Candle’’ fit the rhetorical definition of narrative, since both involve a teller and an audience, a progression by instability (each husband seeks the promise, each wife gives it, and each fulfills it in her different way) and a series of developing responses by the audience. But Bierce’s version has a higher degree of narrativity. What is striking to me, however, is that this difference is not simply because Bierce’s version introduces a more substantial instability

But at times, they can perfectly capture trauma so convincingly that we are almost convinced they are drawing off of first-hand experience. Cathy Caruth, a trauma theorist, has summated that trauma exists in the human psyche as a ‘ghost’ that prevents a person or a character from moving forward and maturing.

Paintings of westward expansion, like Westward the Course of Empire Takes Its Way (1861) by Emanuel Leutze, depicts settlers constantly moving forward, expanding and conquering the wild west.

According to Hayward, the term – art cinema, ‘refers predominantly to a certain type of European cinema that is experimental in technique and narrative’ (2013: 23). Hayward also outlines art cinema as ‘Second Cinema (European art cinema and the cinema of the auteurs)’ (Hayward 2013: 383), which incorporates various issues that were faced by post-war European countries.

preserving clear or solid identity in such conditions and circumstances is extremely challenging. This paper interrogates identity in the two narratives and the impact of geographical, cultural and social surroundings on the person. Jan E. Stets and Peter J.
