“BANG, BANG!!!!” Colonel Macnab just got killed in the movie Kidnapped yet, if we go back into the original book, the whole scene isn't even there! The movie and the book are very much different in the sense that the movie cut out and added scenes that were not in the book. Like in this scene, where in the book there is a completely different ending, they never even meet Colonel Macnab, Alan and Davie just go in their separate ways! I will be talking about 3 similarities in character and 1…

“Chapter 22 the Prophecy Comes True” I had discovered a similarity that Percy and I share is that I to have been betrayed or stabbed in the back by someone who I thought was a loving, caring friend. Not necessarily in the same way but it did hit us by surprise. The person whom betrayed me said to think of her as a friend because her job was to help us think of the future. Luke betrayed Percy because he was one of the first friends that he made at Camp Half Blood. Most people would never think…

Lightning Bug does that for me, upon first viewing I wasn't that impressed and disregarded is horror elements. Instead focusing on how its a Coming of Age Drama. But after viewing the film never really…

At first glance, “The Lightning Bugs Are Back” by Anna Quindlen appears to be about justifying why she had children, but closer inspection reveals that the essay is really about experiencing childhood again. She uses rhetorical devices to make a shift from her surface purpose to the deeper meaning in the essay, such as Rhetorical Questions. At the beginning of “The Lightning Bugs Are Back” Anna discusses the relationship between her child and the lightning bugs. She says “this is why I had…
