Cliffhanger

Summary: The main questions this article sets out to try and answer are “what precisely killed them [the Neanderthals] off? And do the differences [in the Neanderthal’s and Homo sapiens’ lifestyles] explain the disappearance of the Neanderthals?” First off, the article dismisses the popular belief that the Neanderthals were killed off by the Homo sapiens. It is proven that the Neanderthals interbred with the Homo sapiens (approximately 2 to 3 percent of all humans that are non-African…

Bringing down the house is a non fiction novel by Ben Mezrich that tells the story of 6 M.I.T students who organized a card counting team which started their Las Vegas legacy. While explaining the adventure he successfully summarizes the life of Kevin Lewis with his various uses of imagery, descriptive diction, and ability to clearly establish his writing style. Therefore Mezrich expressed his purpose and reason for writing the bestseller. My personal favorite portion of the book was the very…

from an accident or made their final breath from a disease. The story would continue to build sorrow, grief, and sadness for the viewers by showing how the main character is dealing with his or her emotions. There is movies that simply end with a cliffhanger or the movie would try to repair the viewers’ emotions by giving a message to the main character. The message wouldn’t only give hope for the spectators, but, it would tell others to keep moving forward despite what happened. The movie would…

attention from the start, but I had high hopes for the book due to the synopsis so I just kept reading. I can tell you that I am very glad I did. This book was wonderful despite the ending. I hate cliffhangers, and let me tell you – this ends on a huge one. I hope I will get the same chance to review the sequel if and when it comes out. To start off with, I loved the main character Amelia Dupree. She was understandably shy and slightly broken after the tragic death of her brother, and yes, it…

hectic struggle to solve the clues left by Neveu’s grandfather, who turns out to be the Head of the Priory. Decoding Da Vinci’s inscriptions, and thereby disclosing the conspiracy, is the focal action of the novel.

Enter, if you dare… I stood in the middle of the bookstore's children's section, running the pads of my thumbs along the raised, bumpy title of the book that would inevitably change my life. My brow furrowed as I studied the cover. A green creature with horns that resembled a ram's on either side of its head, gazed back at me glowing red eyes. It's gnarled and clawed hands held a sign that read, "Welcome to Horrorland where nightmares come to life!" In the distance, there was an amusement park.…

This story “To kill a mockingbird” has been very interesting so far. These 7 chapters so far are very simple but interesting. Even though I don’t really know what is going to happen, or what the main idea is , I anticipate that this story might take several turns and have lots of situations in the story. I sense that there is going to be some excitement and lots of trouble in “To kill a mockingbird”. I can notice that perhaps there can be some depressing moments. Some ups and some downs, but…

Rabid is the David Cronenberg film that I've been craving lately after having been disappointed with Dead Ringers. The film is a 70s mishmash of vampires, zombies and biological disorder. It also has lead actress Marylin Chambers showing off her splendid boobies. In conjunction with releasing Dead Ringers on Blu-ray, Scream Factory has also released Rabid in a Collector's Edition Blu-ray package with a substantial amount of special features and a damn fine transfer. Read on to see if you should…

Climaxes are supposed to keep you on the edge, to keep you interested. In each chapter there is a different climax. Though some are less significant than others. A few climaxes that got your heart beating were when Dantes escaped the Chateau d’If, the probability of a duel between Albert and The Count and then when Villefort is rushing to save his wife. Notably there were some other important climaxes such as Dantes being arrested and Dantes finding the treasure on the Isle Monte Cristo. One of…
