Descriptive Essay About A Nightmare

Now far enough away from the night club opening, Jessie could hear the distinct sound of a woman screaming. The heart wrenching sound made her stop mid step. Cold terror washed over her as she neared the corner of the alley and peered around it.

The Sacred Realm is a theme of art that involves the concept of aspects that cannot be seen but can only be brought to existence through faith by viewing a piece of art work. This faith is usually in form of a sacred realm. It’s vital to understand that this theme cannot be viewed by the naked eye.

The best part of a long, hard-working day is when you finally get to lay in your bed, close your eyes and let your imagination run free.

There are many facts that are unknown about the mind. For centuries, philosophers and scientists have tried to understand how it works. We have learned that the mind has a number of different levels of processing. Before Sigmund Freud “nearly all the previous research and theorizing of psychologists had dealt with conscious, such as perception, memory, judgment, and learning“ (Hunt185). Freud brought forth a number of theories that dealt with “the unconscious and its crucial role in human behavior”(Hunt 185). The unconscious is a storage area for information that is not being used. It is also the home of “powerful primitive drives and forbidden wishes that constantly generated pressure on the conscious mind”(Hunt

Many people have speculated about why people dream and what meanings the dreams have but in recent times two theories have gained credibility in answering those questions. The first theory is Sigmund Freuds and the other is known as the cognitive theory of dreams also known as biological determinism.

From the years 1933-1945, Germany had fallen under the power of an infamous leader that managed to catch the attention and support of nearly every German in Europe. This man attempted to exterminate a whole human race and, although he nearly accomplished it, the Soviet Union managed to put this to a stop. Despite the fact that his leadership was over, the damage was already done and countless people were killed off on his own satisfaction. Who was this man? How did he get away with these things? Why was he allowed to commit such crimes, let alone run a whole country simultaneously? He was a man known as Adolf Hitler.

Throughout this piece, the reader will discover exactly how the immediate support from German citizens led to Hitler’s rise in power and reign of terror which eventually led to the anti-semitic genocide that is still prominent to this day.

Propaganda is a way to influence or persuade one’s opinion. This is a device often used to choose between sides or for a product being sold. There are a variety of ways companies, organizations, and even people use the advertising known as propaganda.

They hire beautiful celebrities to be the face of their products, while Dove uses more of an emotional pull to lure in more customers.
