[ send me this paper ]
Role of Environment in 3 Burials : A 3 page essay that discusses the role that the environment plays in this modern day Western Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada (directed by Tommy Lee Jones, Sony Classics, 2005), which stars the director and concerns the ultimate resting place of a illegal Mexican immigrant to the U.S., Melquiades Estrada. The film features the work of "seasoned cinematographer of the outdoors Chris Menges. A present day Western, it is set on the Texas-Mexico border and has as its protagonist a "laconic, Stetson-hatted" character, Pete Perkins (played by Tommy Lee Jones), who can be regarded as the embodiment of "Old West-style machismo" (Keen). As Perkins in typical machismo style is a man of sparse words and a great deal of action, the environment serves to symbolically convey a deeper understanding into the humanity of the main character, as well as having a transformational effect on the film's villain.

Roman Art and Architecture: The Influence of Politics and Religion in the Fourth Century AD
[ send me this paper ]
An 8 page discussion outlining the connection between Roman art and politics in the Fourth Century AD. Describes the intense control of art sought by Rome and the final triumph of Christians which resulted in their art in moving from the hidden recesses of ancient catacombs into a position of control in Roman culture. Emphasizes, however, that the Church was just like Rome in that it was very aware of the power of the visual image in swaying public thought and opinion and that they used this power to its utmost, converting and condemning all the way. Concludes that the evolution of art and architecture was really just beginning in Rome and elsewhere around the world. What was consistent, however, was the underlying theme of the influence of politics on art and the corresponding influence of art on politics. Bibliography lists 10 sources.
