Blow Up

in 1971 during the Troubles. He accidentally becomes the target for all parties involved and the complexity of the good and the bad in the Troubles become apparent. In the sequence I’ve chosen, Hook has his first glimpse of safety when he gets picked up by a young Protestant boy and taken a Loyalist pub. After mistakenly interrupting a bomb meeting led by a double-crossing Military Reaction Force’s (MRF) member, the pub suddenly explodes severely injuring the young Protestant boy. I hope to…

from school my mom asked me how my day was and I told her to shut up. Actually, that’s happened way more than one time, with various rude responses. I have no filter whatsoever. I’ve noticed that I’m like this the most at my house. My siblings and parents just don’t seem to care how much they bother me, and they know that they’re going to get a reaction out of me. I have two immensely different mindsets, and some smaller ones. To sum up the two large ones into smaller descriptions, I’ll just…

The Mid-Winter 's Light Winter is upon the earth. The water which was once flowing has stopped. White clouds scatter the earth leaving an everlasting trail of icy residue that will pile up until the seasons begin to change. Cars that once drove easily on the grooved pavement now slip and move when jack frost wants them too. Ice paints the sides of buildings as the wind whips it in every direction. Slowly lights begin to shine through the thickness of the falling flurry. The darkness of the…

~☾~ I woke up on the floor, a pillow beneath my head and a blanket below my body. I squinted around, trying to figure out exactly where I was. I didn’t recognize the room, but then again, it could be one of the dozens of rooms I had yet to explore in the pack house. I got up and let the things how I had found them, entering the dimly lit hallway. The hallway looked familiar enough so I kept…

5. Laissez-faire Leadership: A style in which the designated leader gives up his or her formal role, transforming the group into a loose collection of individuals. An example of Laissez-faire Leadership, is when the designated leader, Seth, gives up his role as a friend, and leaves Evan at a party to risk stealing alcohol from the house owner, causing a chain reaction that shows the two members in the group splitting up, and demonstrates what Seth really cares about, which is getting laid.…

someone with a childlike mentality is the main character. This makes the audience want to care even more. Tim Burton has accomplished how to use close-up, long shots, and color contrast to portray an emotion. For example, in the movie Edward Scissorhands, for example, when Peg found Edward Burton made the audience feel scared for her as she walked up the long dark staircase. Tim…

Ignorance is bliss, many people today use this phrase as a means to vindicate their actions and validate their simple and close-minded way of thinking. Whether you 've heard the phrase used in those exact words or nor does mean that you have never heard it at all. This phrase has been twisted and warped into a series of much smaller and more rationalized forms such as, “he or she doesn 't know any better”, or perhaps, “how was I supposed to know?” or my personal favorite “well everyone else is…

confusion. “Where am I?” I thought. Suddenly, my brain processed my surroundings, and my eyes focused on the view ahead of me. As soon as my head was in the right mind, I saw Fantasia in front of me, Hilary besides me, the huge fish net looking net set up high held, with two poles, in front of me, and my coaches along with the other teammates were waiting on the sidelines. “You can do it!” someone hollered instantaneously from the benches. Once I heard the scream, I turned my head quickly to…

run an event similar to the one I volunteered for; I was amazed to see how many people were wearing volunteer shirts around the event. Planning was required in the setup of the race, who would speak at the opening ceremonies, where sponsors could set up their tents, what volunteers would work where, the scheduling of the event, different activities the participants could complete, prizes, and various other aspects. Something else that I learned from my experience is that advertisement is an…
