When Kathleen was found her husband called 911 saying she fell down the stairs. All odds were against Michael Peterson and he was indicted for the murder of his wife. They said Michael’s motive was that Kathleen found out he was having affairs with men and that his wife had a 1.5 million dollar life insurance policy for herself. Also, in the 80s Michael was tied to a murder and was the last person to see a woman alive before she was killed using blunt-force trauma, just like his wife. After a five month trial Michael Peterson was convicted of his wife's murder. Their neighbour Larry Pollard had an alternate theory to Kathleen’s death.

    Guillermo del Toro’s 2006 film Pan’s Labyrinth is about a little girl, Ofelia, who moves with her mother to live with her new stepfather, Captain Vidal. Ofelia comes to learn that she is princess of the Underworld and, with the help from faeries, must complete magical tasks in order to escape Earth and her cruel stepfather and return to her throne in the mystical world (Pan’s Labyrinth). Del Toro’s main purpose of this film is to parallel the monsters and tasks Ofelia must overcome to fascist 1940s Spain (Kermode). However, with deeper analysis, the monsters may also represent universal societal issues such as mistreatment of the poor by the wealthy, the premature death of childhood innocence and wonder, and abuse. Del Toro’s monsters in Pan’s…

    Pan's Labyrinth Analysis

    • 910 Words
    • 4 Pages

    The dark fantasy film Pan’s Labyrinth is a fascinating example of creative story-telling. This film focuses on so many aspects between Ofelia’s imaginary world and the real world, including her stepfather fighting for the Francoist regime. This little girl is uprooted to a military outpost in Fascist-ruled Spain commanded by her new stepfather, the Captain. The reoccurring contrast between Ofelia’s world and her stepfathers world stood out to me, through elements of brutality, innocence, war, imagination, disobedience, and choice. The tests Ofelia must face are chilling and nightmarish, they mirror not just the cruelty of the battles between the army and the rebels, but equally the deep loss and insecurity which Ofelia faces. Del Toro brilliantly intertwines between the two stories, so that we easily follow the action in two worlds simultaneously.…

    The group’s success was due to their discreet business practice. While other large elements of the Cleveland Mafia ostentatiously engaged in mob warfare and infighting, the Cleveland Syndicate managed to work behind the scenes and cooperate with each other.

Apart from working well among themselves, the Cleveland Syndicate also began making alliances with factions of the greater Cleveland Mafia.

    On Monsters

    • 4 Pages

    Many people perceive monsters as anything grotesque or not looking like the norm. In the book On Monsters, written by Asma, he mentions an array of monsters. He states, “One aspect of the monster concept seems to be the breakdown of intelligibility. An action or a person or a thing is monstrous when it can’t be processed by our rationality, and also when we cannot readily relate to the emotional range involved” (Asma 10). Because our perception is blinded by appearance, we fail to see the truth behind a monster –their actions. Although people define a monster by their appearance, it’s their actions that give them their identity.…
