“Tonight, darling, we are going to right a lot of wrongs. And we are going to wrong some rights. The first shall be last; the last shall be first; the meek shall do some earth-inheriting. But before we can radically reshape the world, we need to shop" (Green 30). That is what Margo said to Quentin before they set off on her revenge plan to attack almost everyone that had betrayed her. Her "boyfriend", Jason, had cheated with one of her "friends", Becca, and "friends" that didn't tell her about Jason's defence with Becca. After her scheme with her "friends" is done they head to the Sun Trust building just to make sure that no cops were on their tails. Just for fun sakes, Margo pressures Quentin into taking her to "break and enter" at SeaWorld.
Jersey Shore was a television show that aired in 2009 it was a reality-based look at the vapid lives of several Italians in their twenties and their respective friends and hookups. Throughout the series, there were numberless acts of the violent outburst, alcoholic behaviors, and sexual content all on camera. In a journal written by J. Johnson, he states that “evidence suggests that television’s influence on children and adolescents is related to how much time they spend watching television” (Johnson) and when a child is constantly watching these inappropriate shows they tend to pick up the behavior. First to take a look at the explicit language and violent outburst which can be categorized together as aggression. The show often displays aggressive
Imagine having a sick family member passionately explain that they want to commit euthanasia. Euthanasia is the painless killing of a patient suffering from a painful or incurable disease. Although this practice is illegal in most countries and states, it still is a prominent option for some within their state. In 2004, The Sea Inside, follows the story behind Ramon Sampedro (Javier Bardem). At the age of 26, Sampedro suffered from an accident while diving into shallow waters of the ocean that left him a quadriplegic. He has fought over 30 years in a campaign that makes euthanasia a happening item in society. Throughout this movie, euthanasia is an underlying theme shown from Sampedro and how that idea can affect the people one loves most in their life.
In Raiders of the Lost Ark most of the characters seem to be flat ones. Some of the flat characters in the movie are: Indy’s pilot, Major Arnold Toht, Dr. Markus Brody, Colonel Dietrich, Arab Swordsman (hilarious scene), Gobler, Katanga, and surprisingly Indiana Jones.
In the book, The Killing Sea by Richard Lewis, Sarah and Ruslan make different decisions in different situations and have different perspectives of their parents. On page 41, it states about Sarah, “Her Mother’s eyes didn’t track her.” At this point I knew something bad was up. But even after Sarah noticed her mother was dead, it was more like she was in shock because she couldn’t believe it. Then when Ruslan was very worried about his father. Then, The book stated, “His father’s car.” This point, there was suspense and Ruslan had hope, just like Sarah. He had a million things going through his head, just like when Sarah found her mother on the beach. Ruslan shows more sensitivity than Sarah does. You can tell that throughout the book, Sarah is more in shock, maybe because she didn’t want to actually think that her own mother had passed away.

There is a great debate going around on whether or not SeaWorld should be forced to close its doors.

Joseph Hill Whedon is an American, he’s a writer and director. According to Mr.Joseph “The thing about a hero, is even when it doesn’t look like there’s a light at the end of the tunnel, he’s going to keep digging, he’s going to keep trying to do right and make up for what’s gone before, just because that’s who he is”. A hero is an extraordinary person. Some people want to have that kind of ability and fight for other people who need help even though he is scared. Being a hero is not only seen by how strong someone is. It is also seen by the strength of heart. In the story of Big Fish by Daniel Wallace, Edward Bloom is the man who’s lying on his bed. He’s telling a story to his son about his past and how he becomes a hero, but he’s about to die. Edward Bloom becomes a hero by helping many people and by his personality, he’s selfless, brave, and different etc.
I think keeping orcas in bondages isn't compassionate. To keep orcas in a zoo for show is satisfactory, however it is unfair to leave them for life in a water tank to stay there until they die. I saw the film Blackfish and now, I dislike SeaWorld. They think more about benefit than creature welfare. Keeping these conscious creatures prisoned for an expanded time causes them internal mental harm, as confirm by a few executioner whale assaults on coaches. SeaWorld Stimulation required a major explanation when the film 2013 narrative about a portion of the executioner whales, the most forceful one being Tilikum, a 12,500 pound male who assaulted two coaches. The film sparked many individuals to wake up and quit supporting, SeaWorld's three marine
SeaWorld - a place where families go to watch thousand pound whales swim around a pool doing tricks. Seems fun, right? Not for these captive orcas. SeaWorld has been under fire since 2013 when a documentary on SeaWorld 's captive orcas called Blackfish was released. The movie gained a lot of attention, but it drew even more attention to the treatment of the captive whales forced to perform almost every day. People scrutinized SeaWorld 's every move after the documentary, but SeaWorld remained strong in defense of their company. SeaWorld is simply a franchise built on lies and secrecy.
In the novel Watership Down Richard Adams has created many diverse and complicated characters, some easier to like than others. For instance, I like Fiver because he is an innocent little rabbit, who happens to have endowed a very special power although he is the smallest and born last. This intriguing ability to foresee what is to come and the cryptic messages that accompany this are very thought provoking. They make me anticipate what he has to say about any situation knowing that it will be crucial to the plot. Also I see a bit of myself in him, he is sympathetic, sensitive, a worry wort but really just wants to make sure that everyone is well and safe. “Believe me, something very bad is close upon us and we ought to go away”(Adams 9) Next, Bigwig who although at times can be

They were looking out over the town. Margo was thinking how ugly it was, and how fake it all looked while Quentin thought of how gorgeous the view was. “I mean look at it, Q: look at all those cul-de-sacs, those streets that turn in on themselves, all the houses that were built to fall apart. All those paper people living in their paper houses, burning the future to stay warm. All the paper kids drinking beer some bum bought for them at the paper convenient store. Everyone demented with the mania of owning things. All the things paper thin and paper frail. And all the people, too.” (Green 57-58). Margo was saying that it is just one big boring town that is all the same. There is never any excitement. This relates society today because everyone does the same thing everyday. We wake up go to work or school or whatever we do first thing in the morning but we do it exactly the same, every day. People are doing the same thing all the time and that makes it not interesting. It's like school we wake up, we go to school, we do what the teacher tells us and we go to our next class. It's the same schedule everyday and that's what makes school

As part of making a presentation for A Wizard of Earthsea on the theme of the importance of names and their purposes, I did a close reading of the revealing of Serret’s name. Even before I analyzed my specific quote from the novel, I knew that the character I chose was the most complicated of all of the characters included in our group’s presentation. Serret is a very confusing character whose motive is never explicitly explained or fully understood. Me, as the reader, had to connect the dots myself and try to figure out who she is and what her reasoning was for revealing her use name to Ged. Based on how she is portrayed in the novel, it was easy to figure out that her purpose in revealing her name was for manipulation.
