Paris, as represented in the two films “Amelie” (Le fabuleux destin d’Amelie Poulain) and “Paris je t’aime” “Compare and contrast the representation of Paris in Amélie, and Paris je t'aime.” The dissertation should be about 7 thousand words in length.

Norman Rockwell It’s the 4th of July, and the NY Times runs a big article on Norman Rockwell to show its “real American” creds. My! How things have changed over the course of my lifetime! It used to be that a comparison to Norman Rockwell was the height of abuse and insult among artists.
