Tod Browning’s notorious film “Freaks” accurately depicted these common ideologies of the early twentieth century, in addition to provoking new thought as…

Freaks and Geeks was a rarity in the early millennium of television. Existing in a hyper-dramatized era of film and television, the witty series effectively captures the awkwardness and angst of adolescence with simplicity and humor, reflected even in the very first episode, which I have screened. The episode mainly utilizes conventional formal elements, and it makes sense: to capture the reality of teenagers in suburbia, using conventional norms in areas such as lighting and editing masks…

The main antagonist of the film was one of the few non-disabled characters in the whole movie. Therefore, if the…

chapter in our pre-algebra book, but that chapter is far too hard for me to explain in such a small letter.

Their stereotype of this kind of fiction is just “dark and twisty” while they even did not bother to actually read through lines in my stories to tell they are cruel and inhuman. This is…
