Moreover, Bruno’s father kept him from being curious. Bruno was an explorer and when he moved to Auschwitz all he wanted to do was explore. However, his father prohibited him from doing such. “The one thing Bruno tried not to think about was that he had been told on countless occasions by both Mother and Father that he was not allowed to walk in this direction, that he was not allowed anywhere near the fence or the camp, and most particularly that exploration was banned at Out-With” (103, Print)…

Man on Wire is more than a documentary about a tightrope walker, it is a beacon to those who sit back quietly, and for ones who never pursue their dreams and desires. The film goes back in time to tell the story of how Philippe Petit daringly tightrope walks across a cable at the very top of the Twin Towers. Facing all odds, Philippe and his band of fellow Frenchman defeat the odds as they create a milestone in history which will exist in the record books forever. Director, James Marsh forces…

The fourth episode of The Wire was about trying to get more evidence on Avon. The opening was McNulty and Greggs in a courtroom hoping to get information from Marvin Browning about Avon.

By the end we learned more about Clarke Peters and who he is and that he is “natural police”. In the book Social Inequality: Forms,…

A figure, her mother, stares hauntingly into her closet as a maddening inhuman shriek claws its way out of her throat.

Hangers!!” Spittle forming at the corner of her snarl, cold eyes wide and unblinking, and veins protruding from every vessel in her…

As I grasped the barbed wire with my bare, dry hands I wondered. “How did I let myself get this bad?” I was in a all male full security prison for the rest of my life. Just because of one mistake. The barbed wire goes through my hand, I can feel it hitting my bone but that's it. I can't feel anything. It's almost like my body has given up. It's like I've had so much pain in my life that my body can no longer take it so it is shutting down. I can hear the dogs getting closer and closer to me. I…
