Scooby-Doo

more of myself contained in these plastic cases than I can in old photographs. Revisiting old favorites jogs memories that probably never eves made it into an elementary school English assignment. Early in life I was brought up on an abundance of Scooby Doo tapes and DVDs. While I did get my dose of fairy tales like most other children in my classes, whenever I had the choice, I leaned toward the adventures of the five mystery-solving friends. From these stories I…

When I heard that we were going to a monster truck derby, I didn’t know what to think. We got tickets from entering this raffle, and the tickets had the name of a famous monster truck derby on it. A monster truck derby would be cool, but I didn’t want to sit in one spot for three hours. And the drive would be long as well. The traffic was going to be horrible since it was a big monster truck derby and we already lived two hours away. I decided that I would go anyways. I charged my phone so I had…

People say that things come full circle and for me, things did. Around 4 years old, the majority of kids watch cartoons, such as Dora the Explorer or Scooby-Doo. I, however, watched maternity shows, such as Baby Story. I remember just how awe-struck and captivated, I was with the entire notion of this minuscule creature being introduced into this massive world. Maybe, my engrossment in this area was heightened by the fact that my mother was pregnant at the time with my soon to be baby brother.…

dated piece of technology at the time, this gift was particularly special to me as it was a hammy down from my uncle and also the first gaming system that I owned. I was captivated by it and spent most of my days playing old games like Zelda or Scooby doo, but my captivation came more from the magic box that fit conveniently in my hands than the games on it. Since that day, ten years ago, I have been enthralled by technology and how it works, and as I grew I would constantly break down any piece…

Short Story Analysis: The Murders in the Rue Morgue “The analytical power should not be confounded with simple ingenuity; for while the analyst is necessarily ingenious, the ingenious man is often remarkably incapable of analysis” (475). This quote from The Murders in the Rue Morgue perfectly explains Poe’s position on crime solving and the hero of his story. The art of observing and following along with the narrator is essentially introduced by Poe in this story, as few authors before his time…

I'm just so confused. You could have had pretty much anyone! There are tones of girls who were all over you. Most of them are way prettier then me, more interesting; just more everything. Probably less crazy, less sad, less miserable then me by a million times. I'm just an average person in an average world. You, you are a planet in an amazing Galaxy. I don't understand how a person like you could love someone like me. I don't understand why you choose me.. I guess you see something in me that I…

simply that in a show that 1. has at least two female characters that 2. talk to each other 3. about something other than men (Bechdel). Four of fourteen Pixar films passed this simple test and Disney has about a 50 percent pass rate. Continuing with Scooby-Doo as an example, the pilot episode, ‘What a Night for a Knight’, does not pass (Ruby). Neither do the pilots for Hey Arnold, Adventure Time, or Gravity Falls. The pilot for Spongebob barely passes, but the pilot for The Powerpuff Girls does…
