Silent Hill 2

I remember I was about the age of 5. At this time my mother and I were living together alone in a two story apartment sitting right on the hills of Troy. During this age, I was attending daycare everyday daily because my mother would work full time during the week. I can still remember her waking me up everyday at the crack of dawn at 5 am and dropping me off to Samaritan, the daycare I was attending daily. At the time when I was younger, I enjoyed the benefits of waking up early there were a…

As grandiose as the production design was for its time Metropolis, set designer huge sets to show the hellish factories of the subterranean world. The models of the city's towering skyscrapers are also surprisingly convincing for a 1920s film. Even beyond the expansive production design and (for the time) special effects, Lang's visuals are all consistently inventive. The robot Maria provides some of the movie's most iconic images, including her transformation into a human being. In a later…

Un Chien Andalou is a silent movie that was produced in 1928 by the director, Luis Buñel, along with the help of Salvador Dali. The idea for the movie came from Buñel, after having a dream that he shared with Dali. Buñel said that he saw the moon being sliced in half by a cloud, while Dali responded that he too had a dream in which he had seen a hand crawling with ants. This led to Dali expressing an interest in creating a movie. The continuous collaboration between the two of them went very…

The Silent Generation Every generation has their own specific defining moment that makes everyone in the future look back on them in a certain way. Each generation is judged and examined by how they respond to that one defining moment, and in many cases are ripped apart because they didn’t live up to the expectations set out for them. These defining moments can be large scale for some like a World War or the Great Depression, but for others they go seemingly unnoticed until way after that…

The arguments Carson gave in Silent Spring were all about the use of synthetic chemicals. She presented that humans are a part of nature and are not meant to control it. Secondly, scientists do not know the long term effects these chemicals can have on the environment. Lastly, she wants to find better ways to control pests without the use of environmentally harmful chemicals. The…

global pesticide bans. For example, this past year we were able to ban pentachlorophenol (PCP) which was primarily used as a wood preservative (Chandra par. 1).

Sallust discusses power in the preface of The Conspiracy of Catiline, he states that power can come from the mind or the body, but he makes the argument that the power of the mind is more resilient than the power of the body (Sal.Cat.pre.1.12-14). Bodily power is strength and might, while the power of the mind involves mental prowess and knowledge. He uses the example of war and says that in the beginning there was a focus on physical power rather than knowledge through strategizing, but after…
