Many people with amputated limbs have phantom pains. There are many questions about phantom pains such as what they are, who discovered them, what causes them, and how are they treated. Phantom pains are pains that come from body parts that have been amputated. Not everyone with an amputated limb will have phantom pains, but…

11. On May I, Peters, a concert producer, executed two contracts.

The second contract was with Thomas, the owner of a theater in Manhattan, under which Peters rented Thomas's theater in Manhattan for the July 4 concert for a rental fee of $20,000. Peters sold out in advance all of the tickets for the concert and would…

Food at a movie theater can be very expensive to what you can buy at a regular store. My evidence to support that is, “During the fourth quarter, AMC reported concessions revenue rose 8.8% over the prior year to $215.3 million as average spending per customer rose 13.5% to $4.46.” (Udland). (Text 3). This quote shows that food is really…

We’re officially one week removed from what many are calling the biggest blockbuster of the summer - Captain America: Civil War. Typically, whenever a monster (no pun intended) hit of this magnitude makes landfall, rival movie studios are smart enough to steer clear of putting any potential moneymaker against it one week later - from fear that it will be drowned out by the moviegoers that decided to wait a week before indulging in viewing said blockbuster. With that said, it’s difficult to say…

storyline, the image of the “black-box” is mentioned approximately 20 times. This box plays quite a large role in the plot of the story in that the pieces of paper inside of it ultimately determines the fate of one the villager’s lives. Whichever individual draws the sheet of paper from the black box with the black dot on is plagued with the fate of the lottery. This villager is sentenced to death by means of stoning by the hands of the remaining townspeople. The “black-box” is representative of…

The Flick is Pulitzer Prize winning play written by Annie Baker. It is set in an old movie theater, appropriately called “The Flick”. The movie theater is currently being upgraded from using an old 35 millimeter projector to a digital one. Just like the theater is undergoing changes, so are the lives of the play’s three characters, Avery, Sam, and Rose as they learn more about each other in the time they share at The Flick. The play begins by introducing to Sam and Avery, both of whom are seen…

CHAPTER TWO The City of Locked Doors Eleven Months Later The sky was an opaque, gray-brown color; a thick fog enveloped the city like a wet, sepia blanket, starving the populous of a fresh breath, or ray of slanted sunlight. Seldom was there a variation in hue from horizon to opposite horizon, it was stubbornly blended, one single, dull color through and through. Oblivious to the gloom of the outdoors, a tall man with fair, curly hair reclined thoughtfully in his black office chair. His mind…

27th of June, the entire town assembles to partake in the lottery, however, instead of winning a tremendous prize the ‘winner’ gets stoned to death. An old black box is the vessel that holds the townspeople fate, and after decades of use, it has become worn and shabby. Every year Mr. Summers tried to convince the townspeople to build a new box, yet every year “the subject [is] allowed to fade off without anything’s being done. (p.237)” Tradition is very important to the villagers and even the…

According to United Nations Environment Programme, there is approximately 46,000 pieces of plastic floating in every square mile of the ocean! I strongly think that plastic bags should be banned in the whole entire United States. Not only would it encourage people to use reusable bags, it will save many animals, and will prevent toxins from entering into the air. First of all, with a ban on plastic bags, it will encourage people to use reusable bags. Reusable bags have a benefit on not only…

homelessness is key to healing the epidemic that plagues our great nation. However, the hope that shines the most comes from the elite few that proceed forward despite their circumstances. Choosing to get an education regardless of your home being a cardboard box or with a friend takes a steadfast mind and courage. Parents loving their children letting them stay with a substitute family while remaining homeless themselves shows how selfless they really are. The ultimate sacrifice of laying their…
