Aurora

When one thinks of a witch, who could fit the mould for Mistress of all evil? Many could bring to mind the image of Maleficent. While this may be true for the 1959 movie Sleeping Beauty, this can not be said for the 2014 adaptation Maleficent. In the film Maleficent,it is through Maleficent’s actions that she helps the audience to deconstruct some female stereotypes most commonly shown in media; in particular around witches, and females in general, in the fairy tale genre. The stereotypes shown…

One of the most powerful experiences of intrinsic motivation, for me came shortly after a devastating occurrence upon the city of Aurora Colorado. On July 20th, 2012 I was an attendant of midnight premier of the “Dark Knight,” at the Century 16 Movie Theater, also known as one of the U.S worst massacre ever. Two days after the shooting, I assembled a group of friends to create “Colorado Strength Ribbons.” The reason I choose this topic to write about is because before this class, I still looked…

There has been much focus on the topic of gun control, for the past two decades in America. Events involving deranged shooters have put gun control in the spotlight. These events include; Sandy Hook, the shooting in Aurora, Colorado, Columbine, and the Virginia Tech shooting. Although the right to bear arms is our basic constitutional right under the second amendment, there are many people who contest this right. The government has made restrictions on firearms claiming it will reduce crime, yet…

possible. When the surveys are finished, they will be sealed in a manila envelope, only to be opened by a member of the Aurora University research team in an off-premise location. The NASW value of service is also addressed in this study. According to the NASW Code of Ethics (NASW, 2008), the ethical principle of…

Health science is the route I shall take after my days in high school. I have known this for a very long time because I want to help my Hispanic community. Although, I would like to about another subject. A subject that has haunted me ever since the day I learned what a period was. English for some people comes naturally, they write fluently and very courageous without any worries because they know their piece will come out wonderful the first time. I need to re-read almost everything that I…

one is born good or bad; situations, experiences, observations are the factors that determine how a person behaves. Maleficent was nice from the beginning, but Stephen betrayal turned her in to an evil person, besides, she repented after princess aurora showed her love; this shows that an evil person can change, if given a second chance. One moral lesson learnt from the movie but not from the original story is that anger, betrayal, and love could change a person’s…

unnecessary things, and slow down so they can know what true happiness and peace is, before they die without living. To send his message, Thoreau uses allusion and tone toward the audience. He says “I have been a sincere a worshiper of Aurora as the Greeks”. Thoreau uses “Aurora” to symbolize nature, and “Greeks” to himself. The audience should have known that the ancient Greeks were very religious and extremely respectful to their Gods and idolized them, all the time, everyday. Thoreau said, “I…

Beauty starts with the Princess Aurora’s christening, inviting everyone except for the evil fairy Carabosse. The evil crashes the party anyway and puts a curse on Aurora. The curse foretold that when the princess turned 16 she would prick her finger, and so she does. A century later Prince Florimund stumbles on the old castle where Aurora sleeps. He kisses her and breaks the spell, of course. They get married and live happily ever after. In contrast to Swan Lake, The Sleeping Beauty ends on a…

I knew that my mindset on the insanity defense would be corrected to some degree. It has been shaped and morphed solely by TV and famous crimes where drama sells. The first case that came to my head as I opened the document was the shooter of the Aurora movie theater who attempted to plead guilty with insanity. The case quickly identifies this correlation as vividness heuristics. Without thinking of the salient factors, my mind quickly jumped to the most extreme example and assumed it is more…
