towards our hunting stand. Dad said, we'll probably see them again. Hope so, I said. As we got to the gate of our hunting land my dad said,” Go open the gate.” “Ok” I said quickly.As soon as openned the truck door a extremly cold brease came swoop in the truck.”Gosh its cold out here!”,I said shivering.…

One of the significant values of genre in film is that genre, as Dr. Casper has noted, is used to “sugarcoat the pill” of challenges in human life, and the romantic comedy genre follows this value (Casper, 260). Comedy, as a whole, reveals the “fragmentation of man” in a digestible, enjoyable manner for audiences. Romantic comedies, specifically, reveal the fragmentation of each partner in a relationship and the fragmentation of the relationship. Throughout the history of film, romantic comedies…

the 5 or so hours I wore it, even if it was a bit missized for me. My first job was to stand in the theater and to make sure no one was littering, eating, or being disruptive. Before I started, my friend Sonja took a picture of me out of surprise, as I had never worn anything fancy until that day. Once the theater doors were opened, the sound head started to play some music to add ambience, and I began to stand upright in the same pose for the next half hour. My legs, back, and even arms began…

basketball in the water and one man swimming laps. I greet the guard and tell him that I have the water which he responds, “It’s clear”. As the half hour goes by, many different people of all races, genders, and ages hop in the this pool, realize that it is much colder at only 80 degrees, and gasp as their heads come back up. Their laughing is a harsh contrast from my stoic outlook. Many older patrons then walk up to me, only to turn and go into the saunas behind my stand. This always makes me…

Well the season is underway. I have spent a few evenings working out the kinks in my system and getting in hunting mode. I haven't seen a single deer on stand but I did spook one in the dark making my way back to the boat and I will set up on it tomorrow evening just to see what it might be. I know you can never be sure but its hoof beats were heavy and it was alone. That always peaks my interest when I am hunting a known big buck area so we will see tomorrow. My wife came down and we spent our…

anyone in the land. Then came the Seven Warriors. Seven humans born with extraordinary powers over the elements. Fire was born first. Then came Earth, Sky, Water, Industry, Nature, and finally Ice. The Warriors saved the human race, and peace spread across the land. The seven Warriors then lived out the rest of their days as peace keepers keeping a healthy balance between the elements. As each of the Warriors neared the end of their days a replacement was born. Generations of Warriors continued,…

In this paper, I am writing about two norm violations I witnessed along with one norm violation I committed myself. In order for myself to understand the different types of norm violations I had to watch videos as well as identify what a norm was. For example, a norm that is not strictly enforced is called folkways. Other norms however are taken much more seriously in which we insist on conformity and these are called mores (Henslin pg.51). “Norms are expectations of ‘right’ behavior” (Henslin…

Stephen King’s The Stand is said to be an extremely lengthy novel about the hardships of mankind and the battles of good and evil. At first sight, while it may seem to be all about how the extremes of good and evil fight and give balance, The Stand goes deeper than that. Stephen King isn’t writing about our extremes, but about how we perceive them. People see the world in extremes: black and white, good and bad, etc., but the vast majority of the things that make up our world fall somewhere…
