Ever After

Growing up, I thought nothing would ever change. I always thought that I would always have the same friends and live in the same house for the rest of my life. I would go down the street to play with Oliver and Katie every day, go to the school where all of my friends were, or go to get a Rickers drink at the gas station, everything that was normal to me. Little did I know, things were about to change. It was a normal weekday. I went to school wondering what I was going to learn in class today…

Stiefvater 's opening of The Scorpio Races is both thrilling, and yet haunting with the declaration…

Leone’s use of these cinematic elements enhances the audiences viewing with music which fits perfectly and remains utterly memorable more than forty years after its first release. The close-up shots seemed to be two-fold in that it helped create tension during the fighting scenes but also was a way to give the audience a look into the mind of the character. Leone’s use of the camera panning over the whole…
