H is for Halloween Dance The Halloween Dance was one of the best Dances I have ever went to. The Halloween Dance was a dance celebrated on the last weekend of October on Friday. You got to wear a costume to the dance, but the costume couldn't be bloody, it couldn't bring fake weapons or real, and you also couldn't wear a mask. Before the dance, if you are in SAC (a meeting for students and staff only), then you work there, but you can still dance. You can get in for free, but you got to get a…

Writing in someone else 's style is infinitely more difficult than simply writing as yourself. After all, a style of writing represents that author 's thought process, and it is quite difficult to get into the heads of others. In addition, we had to replicate the style of not one, but two very characteristic writers with very different styles and visions for their work. Changing mindsets was slightly difficult; just when I became accustomed to Kaysen 's style, I had to finish with her and…

An unknown author once said, “Some people create their own storms, then get upset when it rains.” Irony can be seen in three different ways, which include dramatic, verbal, and situational irony. Verbal irony is when the opposite of what is meant, is said. Dramatic irony is when the audience or some characters know something that others don’t. Situational irony is when when the opposite of what you expect to happen, happens. During the play A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Hermia and Lysander were in…

In “A Midsummer Night’s Dream”, William Shakespeare makes effective use of scenery to illustrate the recurring themes and motifs expressed throughout his play. The two biggest contrasts employed within this literary work are those of Athens and the forest. Athens, during the day, expresses the rationality and stability that is not seen elsewhere expressed throughout “A Midsummer Night’s Dream”. On the other hand, the forest, especially at night, expresses the more mystical and magical side of…

Throughout the semester we have learned about all the different ways that the welfare can provide assistance to families who are in need. Nevertheless, we have also learned and saw in various ways, the struggles and obstacles families face in order to get what they need to get back up on their feet. George Tillman and John Q are two men who prove that struggling to get what you need from the welfare system is worth the success in the end. However, I personally do not believe people should…

Edgar Wright is a really great director who knows how to make people laugh. He is known for his Comedic Cornetto Trilogy, and the movies I will be talking about are “Shaun of the Dead”, and “Hot Fuzz” are the two of them. The scenes display the kind of style he uses in the films, and by using film techniques it helps show the style by how effective it is. Techniques such as music, sound effects, camera work e.g close ups, mid shots, and characters. Wright uses these techniques to grab people’s…

super heroes they can find. With the help of Iron Man (Tony Stark), Thor, The Incredible Hulk (Bruce Banner), Black Widow, Hawkeye, and Captain America they protect New York City and the rest of the world against Loki, brother of Thor, and his army. Nick Furry, being the director of S.H.I.E.L.D, assembles the Avengers team to fight against Loki and to get the Tesseract. Jeffery Anderson stated in The Examiner that “This movie has it all: gorgeously clear action, humor, suspense and even…

Once again, Salinger wasn’t oblivious to the meanings behind each character’s name. In fact, symbolism plays a part in the character Sybil Carpenter. “Sybil, bright with innocence but already tarnishing, symbolizes for Seymour the human condition: like the sibyls of old, she is the unconscious oracle through whom the prophecy is revealed, the instrument of truth” (Lane). A sibyl is defined as “a woman in ancient times supposed to utter the oracles and prophecies of a god” (“sibyl”). It is…

Joshua Gardner. It was not long before people were coming from miles around to hear and witness this unseen force that was terrorizing the Bell home.

Now what will the bell witch do to the family of the…
