Apocalypse

their endangered target. The poachers arrive, and the blackfish stay together as a pod with no fear in their eyes. They protect their young as if it’s the life force that connects them with reality. The young hide in the pod, fearing the modern-day apocalypse knocking at their door. The pod stays together, but the poachers have other ideas. The poachers use their nets and separate the pod. Cries of despair come from the pod, pleading to the demons destroying their lives. The poachers remain…

friend of Arthur. These protagonists are diverse, and all could have paragraphs devoted to their role in the story; however, the only character who can truly be called a dystopian protagonist is Kirsten Raymonde. Kirsten was only eight when the apocalypse hit, and spends her days trying to recall the world as it was before disaster struck. She is particularly enamored with the Symphony’s mantra that “survival is insufficient;” when Symphony members criticize the quote for its Star Trek origins,…

described as emaciated. He was scrawny and frail, so the term rachitic is very fitting in this sense. While it is a good term for providing detail on people and their appearances in general, rachitic is also good for showing the state of the world. An apocalypse brings death and destruction, therefore most societies deteriorated upon the arrival of the post-apocalyptic world. There are no longer governments, or any form of official hierarchy that can provide rules and regulations. Every man is…

for the show’s walkers — largely created with practical effects — to look real as they stumble through the woods and murder main characters.” Audience members respond positively to this gore because it is an opportunity to imagine an actual zombie apocalypse. While it may be horrifying, the realism adds to the audience’s general fascination with imaging themselves in serious situations without actually having to experience the ordeal themselves. The show’s dedication to creating horrific…

McCarthy provides social commentary on the tendency of people to act like animals when there is no one who will step in to stop them. Throughout history there are thousands of examples of people who go mad with power, or mad from the lack of power. In the road the people go mad from the lack of people who will stop them from turning on each other. That similar situation happened during the French revolution for several different reasons. During the civil rights movement, there were also events…

I would say Paths of Glory is vastly different than the other war movies I have seen. First off you don’t see much fighting in this movie. Also most war movies are usually long movies for example Apocalypse Now is 2 hours 33min and Saving Private Ryan is 2 hours 49min and Oliver Stone’s Platoon is at least 2 hours compared to Paths of Glory is 1 hour 28min. After I watched Paths of Glory it sort of reminded me of Platoon. Both movies had a character that really made me angry. In Paths of Glory…

I found that Mad Max: Fury Road had many elements of feminism throughout the film. The movie focuses on women escaping and fighting for their freedom from a patriarchal society. It portrays women very differently than many films and it’s a great representation of what women are truly capable of. The first moment that I noticed a form of feminism was with the appearance of Furiosa. She has a completely shaved head, scars, only one arm and is wearing some sort of a war uniform. She essentially…

reason why I think the Dingo is the most valuable product is the multiple abilities the Dingo has, which includes teleportation, superhuman abilities, and the ability to walk on the air. The teleportation ability is extremely useful in a zombie apocalypse because it allows you to escape from bad situations, and allows you to access areas you could not access earlier.…

cell phones or computers, watching YouTube videos about the “End of Days”, “The Coming Apocalypse”, or “The Rapture”. These videos can be quite appealing in the nature that it’ll leave you feeling either a bit fearful or curious. We also find ourselves intrigued when magazines such as The National Enquirer or Star Magazine write articles revolving around such disaster. Such as, linking the upcoming apocalypse to the Dead Sea Scrolls. But what do we really know about the Dead Sea Scrolls? Were…
