Sweet Land

In Will Weavers, “A Gravestone Made of Wheat”, Weaver focuses on the love story of Inge and Olaf. Ali Selim’s film, Sweetland, also focuses on the message of short story, maybe even more so the love that Inga and Olaf share. They both cover the same story of a woman who comes to America from Germany, for freedom and to marry someone she has never met. The man and woman struggle with finding someone to grant her citizenship, since the war just ended and she is of German nationality. Ultimately she never gets citizenship, never marries Olaf, but even though the church never married them, they feel married in their hearts, and for them that is enough. Typically when directors change important details in movies it may compromise the message, but the way Selim changes details really helps emphasize the main message of the short story. Weaver also makes great choices in the way he writes to portray how Olaf feels about Inge, so both the story and the movie work for the same message, love conquers all. The movie does an outstanding job at portraying the main message of the original short story, even with all the changes Selim made to characters and the plot. The story has the same overall message- it is just portrayed differently in the movie. The movie starts out with Inge talking to her family about her husband, Olaf, whereas in Weavers short story, the opening scene is Olaf fighting with the Sherriff about burying Inge on the farm. In the opening scenes of the movie they are…

Sweet Land of Uncertainty: What is America? The United States of America certainly does not have “streets paved with gold”. Though this was how it was first described to attract hopeful refugees and adventurers, we have since learned that, in some respects, this country’s actual state is far different from what it was hoped to be. “Land of the free!”, its people chant, as they brush off those who cry at injustice. “Home of the brave!”, others exclaim, as they cower in the shadows of privilege…

their claims. Proponents argue that fracking has lifted the current economy by increasing jobs. Extraction jobs may provide short term growth, but eventually this growth will plummet. This loss happens as extraction sites gain attention from other investors. Once invested, a site develops an overabundance in resources, thus sinking firm costs. Overabundance will cause job loss in the process as firms can’t recover (Twomey et.al.). Jobs are also temporary since extraction only provides cash flow…
