The witch smiles her sweet grin. “Wonderful!” She rises from her chair and grabs a spherical green object from a nearby shelf. She sets it on the table with a thump. “Is that a crystal ball?” Will asks. The sound of his voice sends my heart into a downward spiral. Heat rises up my spine. Whatever is in the air in this place, it’s making my emotions go haywire. The crystal ball suddenly sparks into a cloud of green, producing sparkles within it. The woman laughs at the sight. “So much attraction! I’ve never witnessed the crystals igniting so fiercely before, darlings.” I shy away from Will, unable to face him. The crystals settle in the bottom of the sphere. “Exactly!” the woman say for the twelfth time. “Give me your hands, both of you! Quickly!” I thrust my hand forward. At this point I don’t bother to question her motives. This is so impossible and crazy I have no words. Heck, I can’t even look at Will in the eyes. The woman takes each of our hands in her hands and moves them towards the crystal ball. The glitter resurrects its activity, swirling and churning wildly in its contained circle. Smoke that smells like warm cinnamon begins to rise from the ball. My palm touches the crystal ball. I feel the buzzing of sparkles and warmth of the movement. The room becomes smokier, completely blocking everything and everyone from sight. All I sense is the warm glass and the scent of Will, that addicting warm cinnamon. The crystal ball activates more and more. The smooth glass heats…
Anthony Perkins as Norman Bates in Psycho, and Glenn Close as Alex Forrest in Fatal Attraction, each played the character portrayed as mentally unstable. The two actors seamlessly fell into their parts and led the audience to believe they were truly insane. In the beginning, each of the two lived what appeared to be normal lives. Anthony Perkins managed his mother’s motel that had become a ghost-town after the new highway had been build, which completely cut off access to the motel. Glenn Close…
Introduction On Dec 17, 1903 the Wright Brothers would achieve what others said was impossible. On this day the Wright brothers successfully executed the first human controlled flight reaching a record breaking distance, flying 852 feet for 59 seconds (2015). Wilbur Wright’s visionary leadership was demonstrated, through his inspirational motivation and team dynamics. His pursuit to be the “first in flight” would inspire innovators like him to explore the limits of early day aviation. However,…
Hearing the undeniable sound of the TARDIS close by is what brings me out of my paralytic state. I quickly shove the paper into my pocket and sprint in search of that blue box which is so much bigger on the inside. While running in the direction that the noise came from, I notice that my surroundings are like a barren desert but not like any desert that I have seen. I begin to slow down to further take note of my new location but once I look up I notice something different and quite strange.…
discover Greenwald’s personal interests as the author states it out right, discussing these matters and his beliefs of their importance outright. Glenn’s beliefs are echoed in the words of Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis when Greenwald quoted a statement in a case where Brandeis remarked that “the right to be left alone is the most comprehensive of rights, and the right most valued by a free people”16 this essentially summed up what appears to be Greenwald’s core view of Snowden’s case.…
website, Betty was in an upper-income family due to her father’s patent medicine business. The Rochester City Council denied her driver's license because she was only thirteen years of age, although, they did not yet a minimum driving age. A few years later, in 1910, Betty became the first woman to travel from New-York to San Francisco (six thousand miles). After the trip, Scott was accepted to be Glenn H. Curtiss’ first and only female student. During one of Betty’s “grass-cutting” sessions,…
Another delicate nuance that I would like to consider about her marriage. In order to remarry she should probably discuss it with her only son, who by the way was the prince and could have his father’s throne. Neither the movie nor the text do not speak about it, but if we try to picture the possibility that they might have discussed her marriage, Hamlet definitely would oppose to her marriage plan, which after all Gertrude ignored, or perhaps she did not discuss it with Hamlet which she had…
This is why they are known to be the "fathers of modern aviation." Thanks to the Wright brother, World War I was the first major conflict that airplanes were used on a large scale. At the beginning of the war, planes were very basic. The very first powered flight was back in 1903 when the Wright brother flew their own design. The first crossing of the English Channel was in 1909 by Louis Bleriot. (History.com) So it is safe to say that in 1914, airplanes were still very crude. It was not until…
Your #1 Fan Description: A Fan, you probably know one, or are one… And for generations, the western world has seen people fall under the admiration and desire to know more about pieces of pop culture, constituting them as ‘a fan’, from ‘Beatlemania’ to ‘Beliebers’ and everything in between. While the feelings may still be the same, how has the experience of being a fan changed? I talked to a fan, a creator and a publicist- three different people who have experiences in different angles on this…
Throughout our lifetime, many people strive to be respected and honored in their own rights within their social class and their society. Therefore, in order to be respected one must be respectful, credible, trustworthy as well as honest. Hence, these traits form the core principal of what is known as good ethos. Ethos, clarified and explained by a famous Greek philosopher, Aristotle; is one of the vital elements of communication and speaking. Thus, one of the essential purposes of ethos is to…
