I have heard stories of a light so bright it could light up a world. A light so bright it caused darkness to hide in the shadows, bringing life to a world known as earth. On aged videos, with poor audio, there are the playbacks of streams flowing in crooked banks. The water sparkles, catching the light and playing with the shine, allowing glints and sparks. Ancient animals with black and white stripes, huge mains, or long necks, ruled dry lands where the sun poured throughout. It's beautiful, or it was beautiful. My parents were just children when the desolation first began. My body longs to see this world in person, although we are told it’s not inhabitable. The overly polluted air is no longer breathable, animals died off, and people were …show more content…
He adjusts his already perfect tie as he waves his way to the pedestal. The introductory women steps back exchanging a quick side-hug with him. He stares out at us, a look of pride upon his face “Now, most of you know me, but I'd like to introduce myself. My name is Brendan Kane, Though most call me the savior of the human race.” Another round of applause rises from the audience. The 30 by 30 screen behind him becomes alive, and a video flashes into focus. First a crying child is shown, coughing in a foggy alleyway, calling for someone, anyone. It’s the sad cliché truth about how destruction was the life for so many. A field ablaze is portrayed next, the burning of crops and withered produce. After, mass riots and murders on the streets, the dead’s houses being ransacked. Gasps ripple through the crowd. Brendan Kane is then shown on a stage in the video “People of world, I have finally perfected a man made Plannet!” the video zooms out of the polluted atmosphere showing a metal world encased within a dome. “this is a virtual world that can save you and your family! No more fighting, peace and safety is finally in your reach” the video shows the highlights of living on a metal world where your world is “safe and peaceful” the video is short, close to 2 minutes long. Then Mr. Kane is shown again “And every single person’s ticket is already paid for! …show more content…
Kane “Now every year we show you the progress our probes have made in scanning our dear Earth” he signals to the screen once more. “Take a look” the screen flickers until the pixelated video is finally shown. Gasps echo throughout the crowed, my hand is slightly squeezed from my mother, her tear filled eyes are strained on the screen. Dust devils swirl up into the air as the prob looks down upon a desolated landscape. I feel numb, every year my hopes rise, as I feed myself fantasies from my parent’s stories. Then each year they are destroyed with the heart wrenching truth. The screen finishes again, showing course after course of earthly destruction. “I'm so sorry to say that earth is still unlivable” he looks down a sorrowful anger expressed through him “I'm sorry” He says again as he then proceeds to walk off the stage. The woman who introduced him steps in quickly to fill his place. Her blond hair cascading over her shoulder as she taps the mic. “Okay, to get this years round of shots proceed to building B. If you happen to have any questions, proceed to building
“...I just sobbed.” The end of the football game brought Jason Money to his knees. Near the end of the game, Spanish Fork seemed to have won the game. All that needed to happen was for the final play to end. But after he got the ball, Jason Money stood still when the clock hit zero seconds and had the football taken from him to score a touchdown. He had forgotten that the game ends not with the clock, but with the play. The game ended with Spanish Fork losing. But the story soon became far larger than what it was.
I watched helplessly as Dean Moxley, the infamous Kronosville Killer, shoots him in the head. “Oopsies!” he yells. Enraged, I grab my gun off the floor and shoot him. He grabs his leg as he falls down. I rush over to the body and call for backup. It’s finally over. But at a great cost.
Forty years is a long time, long enough to deprive a person of any connection to the real world. I mean those cars, machines, children crying… I just couldn’t get used to them. Sometime I feel I’m standing in the eye of hurricane, the noises whipping around me like a gale. It’s a terrible thing to live in fear. All I’m doing is just lying here, smoking, unable to sleep. I look up and see old Brooks’s world from the beam, he gave up. That makes me more scared. He couldn’t cope with the real world, so he decided to release himself totally. Well, I guess I have become institutionalized like Brooks as, I can’t feel
Oh, no. Here she comes. I hope she doesn't pick her again out of all the pieces in her collection we’re the most worn. It's 7:30 a.m. on a Monday morning marking the 2700th time I've been worn since I’ve been here. I don't mind, though being one of the most worn pieces in her collection. I don’t recognize this new fragrance it’s softer and has a youthful scent
The name is Frank Greene and I live in the wonderful New York City. Right now I’m sitting here at Lou’s bar celebrating New Year Eve with a brandy. I’ve lived here my whole life, except when Uncle Sam decided he needed me in Vietnam right out of high school. You may ask what use the army has for a 6 foot tall, average white guy from Manhattan, who had no applicable skills. They sent me straight to infantry with the rest of the draftees. I eventually got injured and was sent home with an incurable limp.
He arrived and walked through the door of the bar. All he could hear was the tone of excitement throughout the place. The man had no emotion on his face. He was wearing a blue, green, and black shirt under blue overalls. The man had a tattoo on the back of his head.

You sink into your mattress, forgetting about all the stress you have accumulated that past week. Every aspect of life seems to be harmonizing, with baby pinks and vibrant oranges of the sunset peeking through your curtains. As you lay there, you notice the fluorescent glow of a notification illuminating the room. You regretfully pick up your phone and tap the yellow and white icon, anticipating the devils that will pounce out of the app. You then stare… questioning the worth of opening the snap, and hesitantly click the red square in the corner of your screen.
The auditorium was packed with people. Of course, it was today. It’s Choosing day.I always get nervous when I'm in a crowd of people. They trained me to always be cautious of people. My instinct is to run, but I can't.
Kane is almost always shown in the most prominent position in the frame never in a place with less power but the one place where the audience will pay attention to him first, the Mise-en-scene. One of the first time we see him in frame with a reflection was when he was staring the picture of the chronicle staff. He stares at it with almost a smug look his face showing off the desire for the staff that could turn his small newspaper into something that would help him reach the masses and make people listen to him, to increase his circulation. The group is also framed on the left side of the screen a position of dominance in film, also the first direction the eyes are typically drawn to when something changes on screen. Mr. Kane is shown in this reflection at the front of his group smoking his cigar and his two friends still behind him, so this helps emphasis that at this point in his life he still has people backing him, still willing to support him no matter what he did. Another, example of how the set is designed to show his current state of mind is when he was having breakfast with his first wife they start very close while complementing each other Kane is still close enough to hear his wife to directly interact with her and take on the request of hers staying in bed longer by pushing off his appointments till noon. However, after a
To dive right into it, I suppose I'll just say, I'm an art major/English minor.. Anyways, 'sup. I'm sure you'll be a fine room-mate. Email is fine.
The YouTube clip Undertaker rises from a coffin to attack Brock Lesnar, directed by WWE, Identifies four significant aspects that work together to show the meaning of the YouTube clip. The four significant features that will be used is lighting, music or sound effects, special effects, special effects and voices from the audience and Brock. The scene begins with dark lighting where the only thing visible is the stage, the Undertakers followers and most visibly the coffin, combined with the chanting and the Undertakers music, and then after the lighting returned to normal Brock opens and then closes the coffin, after this the Undertakers coffin opens on its own and the Undertaker emerges to attack Brock Lesner. This scene is important as it
One cold winter day me and my best friend Logan went to skyzone. We went because it was a cold day and there was nothing to do.When we first got there we had to register in so we couldn't sue them if we broke a bone or something.
I guess looking at it now my old man was cut out for a fat guy, one of those regular little roly fat guys you see around, but he sure never got that way, except a little toward the last, and then it wasn't his fault, he was riding over the jumps only and he could afford to carry plenty of weight then. I remember the way he'd pull on a rubber shirt over a couple of jerseys and a big sweat shirt over that, and get me to run with him in the forenoon in the hot sun. He'd have, maybe, taken a trial trip with one of Razzo's skins early in the morning after just getting in from Torino at four o'clock in the morning and beating it out to the stables in a cab and then with the dew all over everything and the sun just starting to get going, I'd help
Haas’s review focuses on the statistical size of the set but neglects the sophistication of the visual aspect. It is here where the set makes use of combining the two styles. The film is set in a futuristic city filled with several skyscrapers, cars, and planes. At the center, is a tower that
