Bates Motel

It was the middle of the hottest summer I’ve ever experienced, that’s when it happened. We had just moved into a new house, and I guess you could say I was not so thrilled. I had created my life back in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. Then all the sudden one day I was told I had to leave it all behind. Moving was not too catastrophic, there were a few moments here and there, but overall we made it. I have now been in the house for six weeks, and I have never felt more terrified, I can’t sleep, I…

Whether it is between men and women or different races, we live in a world where inequality exists in every corner. The type of inequality I will be focusing on is not between the sexes or races, but between the rich and the poor. As Plutarch once said, “An imbalance between rich and poor is the oldest and most fatal ailment of all republics.” Between the two essays, they provide many similarities and differences in opinion regarding the importance of economic inequality, the access of education…

3 specific shows and which forms of stratification they demonstrate. The first will be Game of Thrones and how the Estates System is shown. Next will be The Ranch and how the characters fall into Social Classes. The last show I will use will be Bates Motel, which also uses Social Classes. While watching Game of Thrones it was clear to see that the type of stratification being used was the Estates System. This was demonstrated by the ranking of the characters, from the Nobles all the way down to…

Norman Bates— a man who is still wary of his recent plight and proves he would rather keep his situation under wraps than go to the authorities. Seventh Shade The seventh shade is descriptive of unsolved murders that now surrounds Bates Motel. After the private detector becomes unresponsive, Sam and Lila Crane, Marion’s sister, takes matter into their own hands and sets the stage for a potential murder. Eighth Shade The eight shade reflects what the viewers speculated all along: Norman Bates…

the 1960 thriller Psycho, the anti-hero Norman Bates was introduced to society. Norman, in this movie, is a middle-aged serial killer who justifies his wrongdoings by “becoming” his mother. In his eyes, it is actually his deceased mother Norma who is the murderer, not himself. Now, you might be wondering, how in the world would it be possible to empathize with a mentally ill serial killer? More recently, in 2013, the contemporary prequel Bates Motel made…

Each of the five women in this film are introduced in a situation of powerlessness” (TheAtlantic.com). Bruno agrees that films portray single moms incorrectly, as they tend to be people in need of help and searching for success, correlating to Norma Bates who in search of success, moved to White Pine Bay in search of a new life and attempt to give her son a chance at being normal. In return she destroys everything she sets out accomplish through her own will, and by the surrounding expectations…

From the start of the film the viewer followers Marione, up into her unfortunate death at Bates Motel. However, during Marione’s living moment’s at the motel, the audience follows Marione to a window where we hear two voices shouting, one clearly Norman and the other an older woman, who Norman says is his mother. This scene is the start of all the scenes that work toward convincing the audience that Norman Bates mother is alive. It restricts Marione from knowing the true source of the noise…

My character name is Norman Bates from one of the most famous horror films of all time Psycho. I chose to do my research on the 1998 version (Van Sant, 1998) because I knew that it would be in color and for me color helps bring out small details better than black and white. This is a little overview of Norman. Norman Bates lives next to his family owned motel named Bates Motel with his deceased mother Norma Bates. When guests check into the hotel, he prepares dinner for them, then murders them…

The disorder that I’ve chose to write my paper on is Dissociative Identity Disorder. Dissociative identity disorder is a mental reaction to interpersonal and ecological anxieties, especially during early youth years when passionate disregard or abuse may interfere with identity improvement. About 99% of the people who get dissociative identity disorder perceived individual histories of repeating, overwhelming, and regularly life-undermining unsettling influences at a touchy formative phase of…

Movies of the 60’s 2001: A Space Odyssey (Stanley Kubick) To me, the film raised more questions than it answered. Roughly it shows humans have conquered the outer space. On the moon, a monolith is mined whose origin and material are unknown, this monolith sends a signal to Jupiter. The space ship Discovery is sent to advance to the destination of the signals. Two of the team are awake, the rest of the team is sleeping. The board computer HAL 9000 is becoming more and more of a threat. For me…
