Buffy The Vampire Slayer Personality
Buffy the Vampire Slayer first came out as a movie in 1992. The movie is about Buffy Summers, a teen girl with the typical “Queen Bee” stereotype. At her Los Angeles high school Buffy is in her senior year she is blonde, beautiful, dense, and a bit of a mean girl. Her favorite thing to do is shop at the mall with her equally dense friends and spends time with her sexiest boyfriend Jeffery. One day, Buffy’s life is forever changed when she finds out she comes from an ancient line of women known as vampire slayers. A vampire slayer or the chosen one is young women who are chosen at birth to slay vampires. The slayer has inhuman powers such as super strength, speed, and the ability to heal quickly, she must use her powers to slay vampires and …show more content…
On her first day of her new school she makes friends with the most unlikely people she first meets the goofy Xander Harris and his childhood nerdy friend Willow Rosenberg. Both who will be there for Buffy the entire series. Harris and Rosenberg are the complete opposite of all of Summers friends in the movie, or example Willow cares more about making a high grade on her test and less about the latest fashion trends, and Xander is her dorky friend that would love to have conversations about the latest sci-fi movie than football. Not only has Buffy changed but so have the history, destiny, and powers of other slayers. The movie goes in to little detail about previous slayers; the only other slayer mention in the film was from the Renaissance Era as a young girl of sixteen. The first slayer is introduced as a young girl from ancient Africa, who was given her powers from the shamans of her tribe. The show also mentions different slayers from diverse eras and races, always shown in different flashbacks. Another change about slayers is that they have a guide called a Watcher. A watcher is a man or woman that guides and trains the slayer they are assigned. In the movie a man named Marrick comes to Buffy at her school and tells her of her fate however he does not state what he is or who/if watchers exist. In the show Buffy’s watcher Rupert Giles not only doses his job as a watcher, but he plays …show more content…
Spike a British punk vampire who was also turned by Angel in 1880, was introduced to the show when he came to Sunnydale to kill Buffy who would have been the third slayer he’s killed. The two first starts out having a normal slayer, enemy relationship which involves mostly trying to kill each other. But later on in the series Spike begins to have an obsession with Buffy, making him think he is in love with her. The two begin to have a physical relationship filled with a dangerous combination of lust and hate that only leaves them both filled with self-loathing, guilt and hate for each

    There were two court cases that we were given to look at. The first court case was Darling vs. Charleston Community Hospital. According to McWay, this case was on a male football player that got injured during a game and was brought to the emergency room where they determined at the hospital that his left leg was broken and a doctor that did not have any experience with putting a cast on put the cast on wrong and then left it on for fourteen days (McWay, 2015, pg.78). I think the biggest mistake that the hospital made was allowing a doctor that did not have any experience in putting casts on put the cast on and the doctor put the cast on the leg wrong and when the cast was taken off there was dead tissue on the leg. This caused the doctor at…

    How Has Johnny Changed

    • 374 Words
    • 2 Pages

    One character that has changed from the beginning of the story until now (i.e. Chapter 4-6) is Johnny. He went from being an innocent puppy that was scared to a younger version of Darry, being tough, cool, and knowing what to do in certain situations. He went from getting beaten up badly by his father, and Bob (once) to killing Bob, and running away from the Police. What caused Johnny to change was that Ponyboy was being drowned by David (a Soc) and Bob was going to kill Johnny after Ponyboy was dead, so Johnny reacted quickly and stabbed Bob and scared away the other Socs. Johnny stated that he never wanted to get beaten up like he did in that lot when Bob almost killed him, so he took action. In the text, it says “If you can picture a little puppy that has been kicked too many times and is lost in a crowd of strangers, you’ll have Johnny.” (Hinton Page 11) This was when Johnny was still scared of Bob and was depressed to the point of mentioning killing himself if he didn’t see any action (which kept him sane). This was when Johnny was protected by older Greasers (Dally, Two-Bit, and even Darry), although Darry wasn’t a Greaser he seems to care about Johnny, this was when anyone could push him around when he was quiet and kept to himself. Later on, in the text, it said: “But Johnny, except for the fact that his hands were twitching, looked as cool as Darry ever had.” (Hinton Page 57) This shows how quickly he changed because earlier that night when in the movie theater he was still shy when first talking to Cherry, but after this, he was a totally different person. It’s like there is a totally different side of him which…

    The Vampire Film Analysis

    The final part of Perkowski’s analysis outline is evaluating the social and psychological role of the vampire for the time period it was originally intended for. Since this film was released during the 1980’s it is viewed as being in line with many people’s beliefs at the time that family values were declining, as divorce rates were high, and people believed that these values needed to be re-established in society. Additionally, people believed that this problem could be blamed on and was due to the hippie generation, which is why the film also contains many references to hippies, including the music Michael and Sam’s mother Lucy listens to and the marijuana plant that their grandfather has in his kitchen. Michael, Sam, and their mother are…

    My strongest dimension on the personality spectrum is coping with pressure. I always knew that I worked very well under pressure, because of past job I have worked, and the situations they placed me in. I always try to be an optimistic type of person viewing the glass as half full instead of half empty. As I see it, if a situation is bad, it could always go from bad to worse. One reason I excel at work is that I don't sweat the small stuff. My mother always taught me that what doesn't kill you will only make you stronger, and that's the outlook I try to keep in life and so far it has been working out for me.…
