Cliffhanger

The play “ Subterranean Homesick Blues Again” by Dennis Reardon is a dark spooky type of play. The play takes place on the inside of a cave and it’s about a young tour guide that decides to mess with the minds of two talkative couples that are taking a tour in the caves. Once you start reading it might seem boring but as you keep reading the story gets interesting, as the tour guide is giving them information about the caves and so on while Naomi, Sherman, Mick, and Kathy have a conversation.…

Can anyone remember the last time they sat in front of a TV set and watched a live program? Do not include sports, political debates or news coverage. Think about watching a new episode of a syndicated television program like The Walking Dead Or Modern Family. The answer may surprise you. In fact if that question was asked 10 years ago the answers would have been instant, but in today 's age it might have only taken someone a few moments to answer. The reason behind this is because of the power…

inserting a cliffhanger and asking questions like: “Will Vivien find out about the seductive maid? Will Ben have a sexual affair with her? Why are they seeing the maid in different ways? etc.”, at the very end of my review. According to the Literary Device website, “A cliffhanger is a type of narrative or a plot device in which the end is curiously abrupt so that the main characters are left in a difficult situation without offering any resolution of conflicts.” Through this cliffhanger, my…

The fact I went so long without reading The Hunger Games is crazy to me. After finishing the series last summer I became hooked and completely understand why everyone else has been “volunteering as tribute” for years. Katniss is a fantastic, strong character that takes on the challenges presented to her in a realistic way. She does not just coast through the games, we see her struggle, and suffer, and eventually survive (which hopefully isn’t a spoiler for you). I love that she is smart and can…

The Disappearance has a very misconceiving title, no disappearing really happens. Anyways, the book originally goes like this: Mike, one of the main characters, get sent to a foster home he refers to as the Medlar home because he hasn’t accepted it into his life just yet. He has to assert himself as the dominant male, so he does that by stealing the remote from one of the kids and intimidates him with it. Paddy, the former dominant male, or as I call him, the huge bully, doesn’t like this a…

In Karen Jackson Ford’s “Do Right to Write Right: Langston Hughes's Aesthetics of Simplicity” Hughes and his works are carefully analyzed and the simplistic aspects of his works are discussed.

The Artist, he ultimately makes his comeback with Peppy Miller’s aid, and the film ends on a much the same cheerful note as it started. Similarly, Vertigo begins with a cliffhanger action sequence with the night-time rooftop chase scene and with the policeman falling of the roof, and also ends on a similar suspense filled cliffhanger, this time with Judy Barton having fallen off the belltower. With regards to their endings, Vertigo deviates more from The Artist plot wise than normally otherwise,…
