Then some weird things start happening, shooting stars all over Britian and owls flying by daylight just to name a few. Finally our main character, Harry Potter comes onto the stage. Two legendary wizards and one goofy half-giant called Hagrid leave Harry to muggle familys door and leave. Then 10 years passes on the story and Harry has been misstreated by his muggle family.…

The scene also reminds us of the river scene in Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring where the Nazgûl show they are afraid of water. The story being well known in French culture, the Family Guy reference can be understood as an allusion to it. When Lois finally learns the truth, she exclaims ‘What the fuck?’ with the ‘fuck’ being covered by the sound of Peter’s boat. Just as Peter’s earlier ‘This is bullshit!’, the French adaptation is…

The last thing that Faber believes is missing from people 's lives is is the freedom for people to act based on what they…

Fahrenheit 451, by Ray Bradbury. Like most dystopian novels, Fahrenheit 451 contains a damaged society in which the people use technology as a distraction to avoid any critical thinking. The lack of meaningful relationships that the masses have with their family displays technology’s negative impact on this society. Books are burned by firemen in this dystopia, for they are believed to contain abstract concepts that are damaging. In this world, everyone practices conformity and anyone who…

The show was completely about marijuana—dealing, growing, baking, consuming, and all the fun that comes with it. Weeds received both positive and negative feedback from viewers across the…

This quote shows that in the bad…

She tells Montag stories that her uncle tells her, and they allow him to see what things were before. Clarisse does not care about herself, like most people, but she cares about what they do, and…
