Nowadays it is easy for people to claim that they are in love, even when their actions say otherwise, and it is just as easy to claim that they are not when they indeed are. Real love is difficult to find and keeping it alive is even harder, especially when one must overcome their own anxieties and uncertainties to embrace its presence. This is the main theme depicted in Russell Banks’ short story “Sarah Cole: A Type of Love Story,” as well as in Richard Bausch’s “The Fireman’s Wife.” These narratives, although similar in some ways, are completely different types of love stories.

Butch Cassidy And The Sundance Kid Essay

564 Words | 3 Pages

Although Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid displays some of the typical aspects of the Western genre, such as having action and adventure and taking place in an untamed frontier, it mostly depicts aspects that are not typical of the Western genre. Unlike many Westerns, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid is not overly violent. There are some shooting scenes, but the movie is mostly focused on the debacles that Butch Cassidy and Sundance get themselves into.
