In the book Soldier’s Heart by Gary Paulsen‚ the main character‚ Charley‚ sees some awful things. There are many down falls to war‚ and the imagery is one of them. Some soldiers aren’t strong enough to take the emotional hit that follows it. You go through battle daily and see people being shot‚ but the aftermath is worse than watching people fall‚ clinging to life by a thread‚ if they haven’t already died. They stab‚ shoot and claw and they’re filled with too much joy for the moment because they’re

This is how I Gary Parkes solved a mystery about a robbery on school campus. It was just past 8:30 I walked into my third period and sat down next to Sarah Willis. When I sat down‚ She asked me how I was doing and I answered "Fantastic!" She replied with "Well did you do your speech?" Then bell rang and "I said I wrote 3 pages". She was really surprised since we only had to write 1 page. That’s when Mr. Hawks came into the class and said to open up your textbooks to page 134. So I opened my textbook

Henry Chan 19 March 2011 Angels in America: Literary Analysis on the theme of identity If we were to imagine what destruction is like‚ how would anyone of us portray it?

far-fetched stunts and special effects take us out of the action. The audience becomes desensitised to the computer generated images as ’all is construction and fabulation......nothing natural remains ’ (Dixon‚ 2002: 359). Furthermore‚ _Charlie ’s Angels: Full Throttle_ relies on a non-diegetic soundtrack whereas Psycho relies on diegetic sound. The only time _Psycho_ is dominated by non-diegetic music is when Marion is murdered in the shower. However‚ the music seems to become a part of the film

them the way. This family is no ordinary family‚ they rely and count on each other for survival and all they have left are each other. The bell clanged jarringly‚ and rough hands pushed Angel forward. She stumbled‚ catching herself at the last second before falling onto coils of razor wire. Angel wanted to cry. She’d been doing this all day- it was late afternoon by now. She was starving and light-headed and every muscle ached-and still they made her run. (Pg. 114)

The setting in the Hunger Games by Gary Ross is a very interesting one. There is massive contrast between the capitol and District 12 is very vast and different. The whole setting gives me a WWII vibe. District 12 being very dreary and poor‚ there are woman doing laundry in big tubs and old men eating chicken bones. They have to hunt for their own food and sell it and also crops are sold. They are the poorest district‚ their reputation is for mining and coal. The bland colours and dirt roads with
