Windtalkers/The Navajo Code-Talkers of WWII
[ send me this essay ]
A 15 page research paper on the film Windtalkers (2002) directed by John Woo. The writer argues that Woo misses the goal of honoring the Navajo code-talkers of WWII who provided an unbreakable code based on the Navajo language that the best Japanese code-breakers could not decipher. The writer discusses Marine involvement in the production of the film and the principal premise, which is that the Marine bodyguards charged with the safety of the Navajos were under orders to kill the code-talkers if it appeared they would be captured, is historically wrong. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

Women in Comedy
[ send me this essay ]
This 10 page report discusses the fact that women who are now thought of as the classic female comedians or comediennes of their time offered characterizations of women that often fell somewhere between the ridiculous and the even more ridiculous. Gracie Allen was the perfect compliment to George Burns with her addled logic and baby girl voice. Lucille Ball’s exploits in “I Love Lucy” ranged from her desperate attempts to be in one of Ricky’s nightclub shows to her get rich quick schemes. Phyllis Diller was raucous in every aspect of her demeanor. Her clothing, hair, laugh, and jokes virtually screamed at her audience but she was the first female stand-up comedian. The presence of women in comedy has been expanding for decades and comediennes have come to be acknowledged as a truly unique source of humor. Bibliography lists 7 sources.
