The Hills Have Eyes 2

The Hills Have Eyes was Wes Craven's second directorial film after The Last House on the Left (I'm not counting his stint as Abe Snake directing The Fireworks Woman). Much like The Last House on the Left, The Hills Have Eyes has a gritty, low budget, violent look, having been shot on 16mm film. Given the budget of approximately $230,000, Wes Craven was able to craft a violent, sometimes humorous horror film that to this day is still quite popular among the horror crowd. The film has gone on to spawn a few sequels and a couple actual good remakes, however, we are not here to talk about those. Instead, we are going to focus on the first film only, as Arrow Video has gone above and beyond in releasing an absolutely stunning Blu-ray release. Read…

In this essay I am going to argue how the Puritans were selfish.They were selfish because they cared about themselves only and wanted to be best known of what they are.For example in Document B the author states “The eyes of all people are upon us” it explains how they only cared about how people’s eyes were only apon them.Puritans wanted to improve and become bigger people so everyone could see their improvement in being creative.

It is not exactly called a prototype it is known as “a city on a hill.” America in relativity is a city on a hill. In the agreement, Kennedy, Reagan, and Obama have all included this ideology into some of their speeches. The origin of the phrase “city on a hill” comes from Winthrop himself. He stated, “For we must consider that we shall be as a city on a hill. The eyes of the people are upon us” (Winthrop 1). This means that a city on a hill means that people are always watching and looking…

During the presentation of the musical on Thursday, very few members of the audience knew what was going on, because it did not have a plot. Although, the musical was enjoyable for the older generation because they grew…

the generation after Joshua failed to drive out the remaining Canaanites in the land (Judg 1:8-10). The record had it that the previous generation did not pass on to their children the knowledge of God (Judg 1:10) (Constable 1991:107). Consequently, they were not aware of what God had done for them in the past (Judg 3:7; 8:34) (Constable 1991:107). So, instead of destroying the Canaanites, they permitted the Canaanites to live among them (Judg 1:27-33; 2:2; 6:10) (Constable 1991:107). The…
