The Closer

The word escape could mean to escape a place literally, or it could mean to escape life and emotion and the feeling of being stressed and/or depressed. An example would be a person being really tired and stressed about life and ending up taking their own or start doing drugs or drinking alcohol to escape from it. The earlier stories we have explored earlier on in the year all have elements of escape and how people end up doing it. In the play Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare the theme of…

memories in, this is the house that we have made all our friendships in. After I asked my parent why we were moving they told me. They told me we were moving back to their home town and closer to our grandparents. That made me feel a little better because not only were we moving closer to our grandparents, we were moving closer to all our cousins. The day of the move was a Friday, they checked us out from school and took me, my sister, my grandparents to a movie. After the movie we went straight…

My breath comes in short quick bursts. I have an ache in my side, that makes each step I take feel like there are needles digging into my skin--and still, I run on. I can hear their voices behind me. Getting closer. Gasping I look for a place to hide, and spotting a large tree, I run to it. I lean on the trunk grateful for the rest. My head is pounding and my blood is filled with adrenaline. My legs shake as I struggle to control my breathing. I peer out. Two people come into view. They wear…

shooting within anything closer than that proximity, (Roy Brown and another rumoured shooter, Robert Buie). There was no doubt about the distance the shot was fired at, because of multiple tests that prove. that if the shot was fired any closer or farther away, there would have been a completely different result in the bullets overall impact. Of course the location would stay the same, but the swelling would have been larger or smaller, (depending if the shot was closer or farther away), leaving…

on screen builds the suspense immensely. When Chigurh comes up behind the police officer in the beginning of the film the officer is unaware of what is happening behind him or what is going to happen, but the audience can see Chigurh coming closer and closer and can anticipate that Chigurh is going to kill the officer. Another instance where this happens is when Chigurh asks the shopkeeper to call a coin, this creates suspense because the audience knows what the character is calling it for but…

One day I was talking to my friend and we were in the middle of a conversation and he just left me on read so I felt a little worried. He always answer so, I started blowing up his phone and he still wasn’t replying, so I took matters into my own hands and called the military. It was the first thing that popped into my head, I was so worried. The military gets to my house I told them what was going on and what he looked like. We started on the hunt for him. We were running through New Madrid…

I am not your normal applicant. Yes, I have good grades and a high ACT score; no, I do not want to be a doctor or a lawyer or an engineer; I want to be a graphic designer. I am not going to describe your organization and relate my personal attributes to your values to prove that is why I deserve your scholarship. Perhaps I do not deserve your scholarship, but I am going to try my hardest to convince you otherwise. The truth is, I have been offered a full ride scholarship to a university that…

My first year of middle school was very interesting! I did a lot of different things and made lots of friends. Some good things that came out of this year was that I was one of the 5 starters on the A team in basketball and volleyball. I also got closer to some of the 8th grade girls, which was pretty sweet since I do not have that many friends that are girls. Another really great thing that came out of the year was that I was able to keep my grades up and have most of my work in on time. This…

A lot of people like a nice spy film, Action, danger, love, suspense. If I told you North by North West was one of the first spy films, would you believe it? North by Northwest influenced the bond films and the styling of the spy film in general, in plot structure, tropes, and even a set piece. The man on the run plot structure is the same where our hero quickly shows his word play at the beginning of the film while playing nice with the quickly identified villain as some plot elements develop…

Mars, Iowa we went through so many small towns that I didn’t even know existed. My grandma,cousin, and aunt had so much fun in the car, playing games, doodling, and singing. We went by this small town that only had like 8 houses. As we got closer and closer we all were so happy to taste the fresh ice cream. When we arrived to the blue bunny museum I looked at my cousin Randi and said “ Omg I can’t wait! ” “We are 5 minutes away Randi said.” We were finally pulling up. I could smell all the…
