Kiss Kiss Bang Bang

friend at the time and the only other freshman in the class. That day, however, the teacher had finally come up with a seating chart, putting my back to the wall and me just one seat down from him. I hadn’t noticed him before, with his nearly straight bangs covering his bushy eyebrows and crooked, peg-toothed smile. I almost got away with not noticing him at all as I sat down and opened my bag, only to jump as he yelled at the teacher, who was five…

“I’m Not Good. I’m Not Nice. I’m Just Right. I’m the Witch.” In the 2014 film Into the Woods, Rob Marshall, the director, whimsically incorporates what used to be classic tales of Cinderella, Rapunzel, Jack and the Beanstalk, and Little Red Riding Hood into a modern musical with a twist. All of the characters travel into the woods for their respective reasons on intertwining paths, and they meet because of a curse placed years ago by The Witch. Although these characters may cross paths, they…

Final paper In the novel “Heart of Darkness” by Joseph Conrad which was published in 1902, takes place in Africa where a company is scavenging for ivory, by using unconventional means of obtaining this mineral. This theme of the novel is the absurdity of evil in which above all is an exploration of hypocrisy, ambiguity, and moral confusion. It opens the idea of the pro choices between the lesser of two evils. As Marlow is forced to align himself with either hypocritical and malicious…

On Sunday weekend my parents and I cleaned every spec of dust in the house. I thought it would be like my mothers usual tidy up session. We would mop the floors, wipe down the kitchen, and I’d sweep the porch. This time was different. I woke up to my mother hammering away with her fist on my door. “Wake up Mylin! Its 8:30 and time to clean”, she said. “Ugghh, Mom it’s a Sunday” I groaned. As she walked away from the door I gave a sloth effort to get out of bed. I wondered why she had awakened…

TVC: „Couple“ We open up to an establishing shot where we see an employee, about mid-late twenties pass over a tray filled with McDonalds food to a young couple, casually dressed at the counter at a local McDonalds. Laid back, they’ve just popped out for an easy date night and to grab something to eat before the movies. Unable to wait, we cut to see him grab the box for a quick bite, but remembering the McDonalds, we cut quickly to see him rip off the sticker. Suddenly we notice a change in his…

Amelia stepped into her room a huge smile on her face. Grand Ridge Creek boarding school, one of the most prestigious boarding school in the country and she got in, despite popular belief she was quite smart and although she got there mainly on an athletic scholarship her grades had been good enough. Squealing she took the empty bed placing her bags on top. “You bring enough,” The strained voice asked coming in carrying three bags. The blonde smiled at the other going to help her. “Could have…

Conrad’s niggers are, in their feeble and shadowy existential realities, alluded to in The Hollow Men. In a sense, black activities and intellectuals from the Harlem ghetto resemble them. They are human beings full of hunger, disease and fear which situate their condition not in ancient Africa or Europe but America as limbo itself. Having experienced acculturation or alienation, the black ex-slaves become neither African nor European in outlook. Their sad king or leader named Doris (“I” in this…

The Monster Whitetail “Tackle him Scott, tackle him!” I yelled at the top of my lungs. I wasn’t about to let the biggest moonshine bust in Franklin County get away, let alone the state of West Virginia. Scott was running as fast as he could, huffing and puffing. I was right behind Scott, and right before I was able the pull my taser out. Scott had that stinky backwoods bastard on the ground. Scott was hooting and hollering, “Did you see that? He got dropped like a ten pound sack of bricks.” I…

mouth closed, lift head back so that your chin is in the air. Now, pretend as though you are chewing. Can you feel it? The skin should feel tight. Do this about twenty times. A variation of this would be to pucker your lips as if you were going to kiss someone instead of chewing. Do this twice. Avoid straining your neck with this exercise. Lie on your bed with your head hanging over the edge... slowly bring your head up toward your torso using your neck muscles. Carefully bring it down…

"Shit. Can 't believe I did that in a skirt." she laughed, pushing herself up with her right arm. A throbbing pain shot through her left arm, starting near her shoulder, she must have disconnected it. The wind picked up, tossing her wavy dirty blond hair in her face. She pushed her hair back then realizing that she had a gun in her hand. She tucked it in the back of her gray office skirt that was now torn in many different places and covered with splotches of blood, same with her blazer. She…
