  • Conform the Soul by Lancelot Schaubert
    Conform the Soul by Lancelot Schaubert “There is something which unites magic and applied science (technology) while separating them from the "wisdom" of earlier ages. For the wise men of old, the cardinal problem of human life was how to conform the soul to objective reality, and the solution was wisdom, self-discipline, and virtue. For the modern, the cardinal problem is how to conform reality to the wishes of man, and the solution is a technique.” — C.S. Lewis Hayden and Toby, 2000 That year, we all got really into paintball, you know. Simon’s grandad had lead the O.G. paintball team that won the first world cup, the one that made every company in the paintball world try to seek out his hand, his face, his words, his name for an endorsement. The Stingers. Mascot was a bee, kinda like Jesus in the Catholic church, only less packed with meaning cause I think they just thought of the little bruises from the balls. Stingers. Anyways, Grandad Greg (not mine, his) got all this free swag and free CO2 ​ tanks and guns and balls. Lots and lots of different balls: swirl and metallic and yellow. We got done out there in the back twenty where he’d stacked pallets for speedball and we set off a smokebomb we’d handmade in my mom’s kitchen, the third in a series of smokebombs the first of which nearly burnt down my mother’s house (more on that later), and it filled the field with so much smoke that we had to quit.

    The American Dream in the 21st Century. Will Smith and The Pursuit of Happyness Nom autora: Boryana Velikova Petkova DNI autora: X8891651N Nom tutora: Marta Fernández Morales Memòria del Treball de Final de Grau Estudis de Grau de Estudis Anglesos Paraules clau: American Dream, Will Smith, The Pursuit of Happyness, Jim Cullen, Chris Gardner de la UNIVERSITAT DE LES ILLES BALEARS Curs Acadèmic 2014/2015 Cas de no autoritzar l´accés públic al TFG,martqui la següent casella: Abstract This project involves analysis of the American Dream in its four versions as classified by Jim Cullen: upward mobility, equality, home ownership, and fame and success. Furthermore, it looks at its applications on the motion picture The Pursuit of Happyness (2006) as well as Will Smith´s personal and professional life. The aim is to demonstrate that the Dream is still a recurrent idea in the 21st century and that Smith´s character, Chris Gardner, and the celebrity himself fully illustrate the four versions of the Dream. Primary sources, including the above mentioned film directed by Gabriele Muccino and the biographical book The Amazing Life of Will Smith written by Matt Green have been used for the purpose of this study. Moreover, interviews with Will Smith and other important works published on the topic of the Dream have been consulted. We finally conclude that the American Dream is a controversial topic which has played an important role in USA history and culture and is still an important issue in the 21st century. Key words American Dream, The Pursuit of Happyness, Will Smith, Chris Gardner, Jim Cullen Index 1.
