solomon tries to come for this woman who is paralyzed by grief. it also occurs to me that, as central as these fugitive narratives are in giving us a source,ice as a primary on american slavery, how rare we see escape narratives as actually part of what has been translated into screen. even solomon northrup, as you know, is counted among the great narratives but is not involved in escape. his release came by legal and political machinations that happened. brad pitt sets all this in motion, of course. we never see any of it on screen, so the drama has to come from elsewhere. there is not much drama. a wagon comes up, papers are shown, he gets in the wagon, and drives off to freedom. so the only instances where we really get a slave escape are those involving women. one is that in "beloved." -- a, a flashback in which really harrowing scene in which in getting ready to cross the ohio river she actually gives birth to the baby girl she will subsequently killed when the slave catchers are out to get her. id in the other, the one mentioned already, "th

how well does steve mcqueen capture solomon a's "12 years a slave."rned out eliza, a con cu been in epitomizes a lost so many slave women and young endure through sale. eliza had believed her sexual relationship with her owner would protect her and her family since he had promised to free all of them. instead, she and her children are sold separately and she is never able to see them again. eliza mourned her loss bitterly through the saga as well as steve mcqueen's film adaptation. in the movie version eliza becomes a symbol of the devastating impact slavery had on social life and identity and depl deploys eliza's defeat that she rejects. eliza is utterly vanquished unable to move past her loss to survive long enough for the hopeful day of freedom solomon is determined to have despite the hardships he has to endure. the black bond of woman hood has been captured repeatedly.

the former solomon brothers bonds salesman portrays hft as a two tiers class system where traders profiteer at the expense of ordinary stock investors. here is how it works. stock exchanges such as new york stock exchange sell bulk information about pending buy and sell orders to high frequency trading firm. these firms use computers and proprietary software or algorithms to analyze the data and calculate at high speeds so they can buy or sell at fractions of a second in advance of orders placed by other investors locking in small profits per share multiplied by millions of trades, high frequency trading is highly lucrative and constitutes 50% of stock trades on u.s. exchanges. is it unfair? those with the fastest computers and best software have an advantage. is it illegal? it doesn't clearly violate insider trading laws which profit by confidential information. nor is it wire fraud which hinges on depriving a person of property or front running when a broker buys in advance of a client order, a practice barred by financial industry regulatory authority. high frequency trading falls into a
