The Carpenters

Carpenter bees can do quite a bit of damage to wood structures due to the holes the females drill for laying their eggs in. These large finger sized holes can go many inches deep into the wood and the bees will drill them deeper with each use until the wood is weakened to the point of collapse. They also open the wood up to moisture and decay. By understanding some of the carpenter bee habits it possible to make traps that will attract them before they can damage wood structure and kill them so…

I could ramble on with this review and waste your time, but do you really need to be told to watch John Carpenter's other masterpiece (the first being Halloween) The Thing? The film is pure perfection in every form and it's something that will live on for generations. I never personally tackled reviewing The Thing on this site before, because I just don't see the point. Us horror fans know that The Thing is a masterpiece, so what exactly can be said about it that hasn't been mentioned a million…

Although I didn’t take much advantage of being able to see movies for free, during the seven months I worked at a movie theater, I’ve spent countless hours surfing Netflix. Some of my favorite genres are suspense, thriller, and horror. One specific type of movie I like is alien horror, so I’ve decided to review my top 3 alien horror movies. The aliens have so much room for interesting design, and means of being scary, these movies can be very diverse. Often times, these movies are set in space,…

The Importance of Absurdity Our capacity to differentiate right from wrong in this world makes up a large part of who we are. Whenever we criticize the aspects of our lives, we assert ourselves, our ideas, and everything we have experienced and endured. Our ability to hold the world up to our standards lends us a feeling of power and control over our lives, giving us our pride and credibility as individuals, but when it is taken away from us, it renders us feeble, fearful, and helpless to…

In Reading Lessons, Scott Carpenter explains that we repressed memories that are unpleasant. He states that “Repression is the process by which we push out of mind thoughts we find unpleasant or even painful” (Carpenter 70). Repression is not in the same way as casual forgetting such as we forget what we did three months ago, instead, it is more of an active kind of forgetting. Moreover, it is “less permanent than casual forgetting” meaning although we repressed memories so that they don’t…

The scholars in the video question that Jesus was a humble carpenter because of evidence they discovered through research which contradict this. These scholars thought that Jesus was thriving in a sophisticated urban environment that would have brought with it all the diversity of the Roman Empire; this speculation was brought upon the fact that the social rankings at this time were predominantly based on the sophistication and education. Proven through the bible, Jesus was a an intellectual,…

In the book The Vow written by Kim and Krickitt Carpenter, the setting creates a suspenseful, yet melancholy tone and mood for the reader. During the devastating automobile accident, the author used lots of imagery to convey, and perceive the scene of the accident as if it was taking place right in front of the reader’s eyes. Another example was when Krickitt was transferred to the neurological institute. The way Kim imagined her lying in the dark hospital room really revealed how badly…

Siaren Carpenter had seen hundreds of children die, and now she anticipated her own son’s final breath. Death’s journey had made her skinless, every noise shriller and each kiss sweeter than before his sickness, with no barriers to shield her heart from the bite. “Maxx, I will not leave. You’re sick, not to mention nine years old.” “But mom,” Maxx argued with an unsteady breath. “I’ll be okay. You can call Jack to watch me.” Siaren leaned over and laid her hand across her son’s sticky forehead.…

Carpenter, a professional that builds houses and other structures, is a career I wish to peruse because, I like to build things, I’ve always been interested in construction work, and I like hand’s on work.
