that was out of line just because she acted unjustly towards me. If I filed a report there was a chance this would end up on Allison’s record. If I told my coach there was a chance she could be kicked off the team; which would hurt all of my teammates and potentially hurt how we all played throughout the season without her. Then at the same time, I somewhat wanted Allison off the team because I felt uncomfortable around her and did not want to risk this happening to another teammate of…
so used to lying that they just keep lying to keep the lies. Lying would be acceptable to me if you were stuck in a situation and it was a situation where you just couldn’t tell the truth to them and you had to lie just so that you wouldn’t hurt them because you lied about what you did so that they…
Eunhyuk 's pov It has been a crazy couple of days I 've been having. I went into the studio to check on things and clean up around the place a bit, I clean everything myself mostly. I do not like having someone in the studio when I am not there, even more so when I do not know the person. while doing my walk through I find junhong in one of the rooms. I grabbed his hand along all of his stuff and took him home with me, I am guessing he was trying to runaway from home but I am not too sure. I…
" In double knavery - How? - how? - Let's see. After some time to abuse Othello's {ear}. That he is too familiar with his wife. He hath a person and a smooth dispose. To be suspected, framed to make women false. The Moor is of a free and open nature That thinks men honest that but seem to be so, and will as tenderly be led by th' nose as asses are. I have't. It is engendered. Hell and night must bring this monstrous birth to the world's light" Act 1.Sc.3, 437-448). This quote clearly…
music’s greatest legends have done many cover songs, such as Johnny Cash’s cover of “Hurt”, Guns N’ Roses – “Knockin’ On Heaven’s Door”, and Muse’s cover of ‘Feeling Good’. While many may believe the original version of the song itself sounds better than the covered form, some covered versions sound better than the original song. Johnny Cash’s cover of ‘Hurt’ took the world by an undoubtable surprise of, well, hurt. His old ragged voice tied into the video of him wearing the usual all black,…
Like many movies I have seen before “The Hurt Locker” begins with a quote. The quote states simply “War is a Drug.” Although not true for everyone, some find it almost impossible to return home and begin their normal lives once again. For Staff Sergeant William James played by Jeremy Renner, war was a drug, and it was as if he found pleasure while under enemy fire and defusing bombs. There are two main reasons why “The Hurt Locker” is such a standout film. One reason being that James was…

“Pow, Pow, Pop, Pop, Bang, Bang” the sounds of guns on TV always bring excitement and action to us as we watch a movie about a great war, not worrying if it will ever happen to us . In the book Forbidden City by William Bell, it has that same excitement of war (well not for Alex who was caught in all the “action” of the war). In Bell’s book it’s about a war in Beijing (the students vs. the army) bringing the feeling of war and betrayal in this story. For this book the theme that best described…
The Hurt Locker showcases the experiences of a United States Army bomb squad stationed in Iraq after US invasion of foreign soil. On the surface, the film is ostensibly a story based on the actual experiences of a journalist embedded with US military forces in Iraq. If audiences choose to dig deeper, there are multiple meanings that can be drawn from the storyline. Its most noticeable theme is established immediately with the film’s opening quotation, “The rush of battle is a potent and often…
An epigraph appearing at the start of The Hurt Locker states ‘The rush of battle is often potent and lethal addiction, for war is a drug’ – Chris Hedges, this quote sets the scene for the movie as we see the negative consequences that war has on the people involved. Kathryn Bigelow has directed the two war films, The Hurt Locker and Zero Dark Thirty in which she has a very clear style which can be analysed to make meaning of the texts. Both texts explore the idea of voyeurism and are focussed on…
