irony of fate. What if a person tried to violate the fate? The ending should be miserable to him, it’s definitely more sad than the person dragged by fate. The men-- Mr. White tried to use monkey’s paw to change his fate, but the ending could image, he lost his kid. In the first story “The monkey’s paw”, Mr.White’s setting is not a positive character, at the beginning we could see he was a cheater while playing the chess with his kid. “ ‘Listen to the wind,’ said Mr.White. He had made a serious…

This semester I got the opportunity to work two days a week with an organization called PAWS. PAWS is a post secondary awareness program that teaches 4th and 5th grade students the importance of going to college and how to get to college. Almost all the students that attend this after school program are from low income families. Majority of the students come from broken homes, live with someone other than their parents, and are considered title one. I would estimate that 94% of the students…
certain aspects of the story, such as setting, symbols, motifs, mood, or tone, or may even use the story itself, including the characters, how they interact with each other and the world around them, and what they do and say.

Some of the ideas/ themes that show up are realising our wants/ desires and discovering how far…

Throughout the two films, Project Nim ¬- directed by James Marsh - and “The Paw Project” – another documentary that was posted by YouTube user “The Bat Vegan” – we are a witness to harmful treatment done by acclaimed scientists. “The Paw Project” touches on the realities of declawing all types of cats while Project Nim takes us on a journey as a group of hippies tried to humanize a chimpanzee in the…
brought the Jacobs story to life in a short film “The Monkeys Paw,” staying somewhat true to the original form and bringing the visual aid of the short story. Lewis uses camera filters, camera shots, lighting, and music to make this film a bit suspenseful and creepy. Viewers may find this rather fascinating because…
Section A: One of the primary conflicts in Blade Runner is trying to identify real humans versus “replicants” (this is a challenge both for characters in the film and the film’s viewers). Without an identifier or test to determine who is human, how do we determine what makes a human “human”? Or what makes someone inhuman” (a monster)? How do you think Viktor Frankenstein would answer these questions? When we think of replicants, in movies or in books, we make them in our image. We try to give…
