I choose House on Haunted Hill because I enjoyed the whole set-up of the movie; it was the first actual movie I had seen that took place in an old criminally insane old haunted hospital. The whole suspense and thrill just kept me at edge of seat‚ my heart beating and adrenaline up high!!

understand the way us "teenagers" think. Conventional wisdom has made us believe that our current generation might be the "worst generation we’ve ever seen".

For example‚ people in the late 50’s and 60’s didn’t own computers‚ cellular phones and other

Thebes Antigone and Creon were the two main characters in the play Burial at Thebes. Even though they are antagonistic counterparts‚ their acting styles were much different. The actor who played Creon chose to modernize the way he spoke his lines. On the other hand‚ the actor who played Antigone stuck to a more Shakespearian reading; she was much more dramatic with her lines. It is interesting to have the two main characters use two different reading styles; it seemed to make the play less compelling
