said “The court is now in session!”at that ultimately lead to his arrest, which later resulted in him getting accused of witchcraft then hanged. I relate to him because I once too got an attitude when my father tried to question my knowledge on the Tim Burton film Beetlejuice ( keep in mind I have watched the movie almost every day since I was in fourth grade). My dad believed that the main character wore his famous black and white striped suit in almost all the scenes in, when really he…

for “Introversion, Intuition, feeling, perception” This means I am creative (which is a new one for me). I am also a strong egalitarian. I have always been one to cheer on the underdog. Fellow INFPs are JRR Tolkien, JK Rowling, Edgar Allen Poe, Tim Burton and Johnny Depp. Most of my skills are general such as being open minded, flexible and passionate.…

The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks will further the discussion formed with Days of Gold and consolidate students’ understanding of greed as a positive quality. This nonfiction story will also shift our discussion of money motivated greed to a new topic: personal status as a motive of greed.

Students will…

I chose "The Planet of the Apes" movies to demonstrate how the New Era was involved in the process of creating each movie. The Planet of the Apes started back in 1968 and has run through 2014, and there is the plan to have another movie come out in 2017. I as a child into my adulthood always enjoyed these movies because I found it interesting to see how the movie would evolve from one movie to the other. In the first series I had great compassion for the Ape and could not understand while they…

In order to fully understand Irving’s works, one must understand his life. Washington…

forth. Although significant, genre is not a fixed idea in film. There are many grey areas when subgenres, subversions and hybrids are included. A single film can cross over many genres and therefore cannot be put into a single category. For example Tim Burton’s movie Corpse Bride, released in 2005. It would be wrong to solely consider this a romance film, even though the conventions of the romance genre are greatly emphasised. Corpse Bride includes characteristics of a musical and a horror film.…

Did you know that all humans raise their eyebrows when they recognise someone they come upon, but if there is no recognition, the eyebrows remain immobile. You don't really see it unless you look closely since the blink is 1/24th of a second in duration. This behaviour is not an aspect of culture but rather it is an aspect of human nature. Human nature is the general psychological characteristics, feelings and behavioural traits of humankind that is not influenced by our culture or upbringing.…
