people are selfish and don’t do anything unless it benefits themselves in one way or another. The reason why I like a good monster story is because they are based on our everyday society. All of the stories we have gone over this far throughout the year are for the most part have some connection with the real world. Jekyll and Hyde‚ Frankenstein‚ and serial killers are all monsters that have a special connection to everyday society. Jekyll and Hyde was a story about a person’s life who got overtaken

In class this week‚ I read an essay titled “The Indispensable Opposition” by Walter Lippman. This essay was difficult to understand because on the writing style he chose to use. This example of an extended definition describes the phrase “The Indispensable Opposition.” The question‚ “Why is opposition indispensable?” formed in my mind when I read the title of the essay. To me‚ indispensable means being absolutely necessary. Why are opposition and argument absolutely necessary? Some people may disagree

The story is basically about Conor O’Malley’s mum slowly dying of cancer. As a result‚ Conor is having nightmares

Cheesy special effects? Check! Gore? Check! Kane Hodder? Check! Mutated men wearing Bigfoot costumes? Check! Bodacious Babes? Double D Check! Love in the Time of Monsters is a low budget ($500‚000 is considered low budget nowadays) flick about toxic waste pollution gone awry. It’s riddled with groan-inducing moments‚ but I gotta admit‚ I had a fun time with it. It very well could be that Heather Rae Young is smoking hot (the other woman in the movie aren’t bad on the eyes either) and seeing her dance
