Question asked by Johnny in Dalton Trumbo's movie "Johnny Got His Gun."

Johnny's Dad's answer was "It has something to do with young men killing each other, I believe."

Do you agree? Any wider interpretation of the word?

(not digital) I have no idea where to start, but love the effects of black and white. I had a look on Jessop's website, but I just became confused, as I don't know which film to pick to start off with. Would someone please let me know which film to use in which conditions, so I can at least make a start, and also let me know if there is any special equipment I might need. I would also like to know where to have my films developed, and how much it is likely to cost. Is it possible to do it yourself?

What novels deserved to be included in Martin Seymour Smith's List of Influential Books?
Martin Seymour Smith wrote a list of the 100 Most Influential Books in history in 1998 and for the most part, I find it to be a very well thought out piece, but I also can't help but wonder it there are other novels of equal influence that were overlooked from his list. So, in your opinion, what novels deserved to be included in the list and which titles should have gotten the heave-ho?
http://www.interleaves.org/~rteeter/grti...

My Personal Picks -
1. Les Miserables by Victor Hugo
2. Silent Spring by Rachel Carson
3. Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank
5. Tale of a Genji by Murasaki Shikibu
6. Uncle Tom's Cabin by Harriet Beecher Stowe

When examining the list, it becomes clear that Smith wasn't just choosing any old bestseller, or even books that changed history, but moreover, books that transormed our way of thinking or the way novels are written and are still highly regarded.

i am writing an essay on the movie Grapes of Wrath and the outcome of the great depression but i can't seem to voice my opinion the correct way. I am trying to say that the Great Depression launched America into a new "age" of wealth and technology, but it doesn't sound right to me. Please help me write a sentence that sounds better and more historically correct. This is what i have so far: After the Great Depression ended in 1939, it took America years to return to its economic status. There were still many unemployed families and starving children but in the end, the Great Depression resulted in ......

I'm asking this from a philosophical point of view. This was something that was said at the end of a show I watched. It was on an episode of Star Trek DS9 called "The Darkness And The Light".
It is about revenge, the innocent,and the difference between right and wrong.
The bad guy was an innocent bystander of a bombing who was scarred for life over what happened to him. He was going to take the soldier's unborn baby and teach it right from wrong and raise it in a way he thought was right. In his own words "seperate the light from the dark". In the end he failed taking the innocent baby and the soldier said "What he didn't realize...is the light only shines in the dark... and sometimes innocents is just an excuse for the guilty".
What was the meaning of that line? I was a bit puzzled by it when heard it.
