Peace Breaks Out

I was reading a forum post online and someone misspelled the word ‘activity’ as ‘activia’. Then other commenters pointed out the blunder and were poking fun at the mistake. Someone jokingly substituted the word into a horror movie, now titled Paranormal Activia. This two-word response prompted me to wonder, “What would Paranormal Activia be about?” This adaptive short film works in two ways to adapt two sources into a singular film. I took the comment and combined it with a similar story…

“Down, But Not Out.” “There it is Privates!” Drill Sergeant Gonzales yelled. As we all rounded the narrow and winding road through the Ozark Mountains, my heart began to race. All 250 of us slowed down to form a formation in front of what appeared to be the biggest climb we had seen and were not expecting to see for the next few weeks. Screaming at the top of his lungs, Drill Sergeant Galloway said “This is Engineer Hill, and starting in two minutes you all have thirty minutes to make this…

Thinking back to it, as the days went by I became more curious of the ghoul rather than afraid. One night I mustered the courage to get out of my bed and investigate. Trembling I turned the closet’s door knob with my eyes tightly shut: I expected the worst to happen. Opening the door, I gave a slight squeal of discomfort and reached my hand inside the closet, frantically searching for the…

behind one word, “value”. The value of something can be the determining factor for everyone involved in the media industry, that includes the artists, the consumers, and the advertisers. The backlash that some of these artists take for “selling out” is a strong one, especially when it comes to the fans of their music. The average consumer over the years has adapted to the norm of having ads in their daily consumption of media through overexposure to commercials in between television programs,…

place and just in everyday life. You will have to work with people through out your adult life, and it does not always work out the way you want it to. Learning how to deal with multiple types of people and how they work with each other is a good skill to have, this will not only help you work with people but help you if you ever become a leader. With every group project comes with negatives and positives. It is what you take out the whole experience that counts. Tuckman’s group development…

A nail bitter, teeth clincher, bone shaker. This game was everything you want when you take the family out for an evening of high school basketball. The Falcons and The Stallions battled tick for tac down to the very last second, but there could only be one winner. The first quarter was a bit sloppy, a lot of missed baskets, a lot of fouls, and plenty of turnovers, no one had gone on a stretch, after the first quarter the score was Green Run 10 Cox 9. The 2nd Qtr we had a little more action.…

Coach Beiste is quite sadder. When girls don’t put out as some people like to say, guys either take a cold shower or imagine something that’ll get them out the mood, sadly in this instance Coach Beiste was that something. Guys and girls alike start to imagine her in compromising positions to get out of the mood when in sexual situations. It is logical that they would think of what they consider the most unattractive person in school to get them out the mood. To them, this is not wrong, until it…

Foster Care: Aging Out Imagine being in foster care in and out of foster homes for as long as you can remember. Maybe even your whole life. And then one day you realize that your 18th birthday is approaching. For most teenagers this is a very exciting day, the day that they become an adult and can no longer be called a child. The day that they can stay out past their city curfew and don’t have to find a way to sneak in the clubs with their friends. But for you, this is the day that you really…

In the story, All Summer in a Day by Ray Bradbury, takes place in a dystopian life where kids live with their family on planet Venus. This may sound super fun, but on the contrary, it rains and rains and rains and rains. Every seven years the sun shines down on planet Venus for just one hour. Most kids do not remember the sun since they are so young, but Margot is different. She has come over from Earth fairly recently. She grieves the beautiful sun everyday, and this grieving can be observed by…

But Margot is not the only kid missing out on the sun. Other kids on Venus, who were born there, have never seen the sun or even remember what it looks like. Everytime Margot tries to tell them about the sun, they fill themselves with jealousy and they ignore her. Therefore, the theme of the story is that jealousy can make people do inhumane things, but are redeemed once they feel guilt. Since the beginning of the story, Margot has shut herself out from the other kids because she has…
