Not only was he the inspiration for the name he was also an inspiration for the faction.

1. Joss Whedon says that ‘The Cabin in the Woods’ is “your basic horror movie taken apart; five kids go to a cabin in the woods to have a fun weekend of partying and possibly sex… and are therefore dismembered”. Whedon and Goddard have in essence tried to create a movie with roots tied to the horror genre; it is simply your common slasher movie where the characters are killed off one by one till there is either one person left or none for that matter. ‘The Cabin in the Woods’ also has ties to other genres such as comedy, this can be seen in scenes such as where they are all sitting around in the main room, playing truth or dare, and Jules is dared to kiss the wolfs head on the wall, also in the scene where Marty
Into the woods was an adventurous play that was perfect for the use of your imagination and spirit. Into the Woods had numerous different fairy tales involved which could make a small child feel like he/she was in heaven. The acting, music, concept, stage design, costumes, and even the language of the play all mixed to perfection. The crowd became involved right away with the irony of the play. I liked how Into the Woods was set up in the beginning because it made the play easier to follow. However, the play seemed to be a little lengthy and some of the characters became annoying. I do not believe the second part of the play altogether was necessary. Into the Woods did not fulfill my expectations to the max,

Based on most ethnic principles and values in early settlers, they were alike, but in a unique way they were different. In both primary and secondary sources, each author has the same type of writing style. In “The Coming of Age in the Dawnland”, Charles C. Mann is referring to analyzation by introducing the readers to Tisquantum the “friendly Indian”and the experiences of traveling to Dawnland and interacting with the Native Americans. Another primary source, “Of Plymouth Plantation”, written by William Bradford, was an American Literature based story to inform the reader about the travels and beliefs of the Puritans and the Pilgrims. Last source is the, “Suppressed Speech Of Wamsutta (Frank B.) James, Wampanoag”. This speech is also to inform the reader about what the Wampanoags went through and what kind of lifestyle they were living from one of their own men's perspective.Each of these villages, families, and individuals all had to go through the same struggles, hardships, and brutal conditions. So, let’s get into what beliefs, ways, and religions each one of these groups had to go through.

We can all remember a time or the decisions we made that led us to be what we became as adults. There may have been that one person who had a tremendous impact, whether it was good or bad, or that one event that forced us into making a choice that could affect the rest of our lives. All these things are what lead us to be what we are today; it is the process of coming of age. Sarty portrays this action of becoming a man in William Faulkner’s short story, “Barn Burning.” Sarty must decide what kind of man he is going to become. He grows up with an abusive father named Abner Snopes. Always moving from town to town because of his father’s terrifying hobby of burning barns, he learns how truly awful Abner is. When he comes to terms with the reality of the situation, Sarty decides that he does not want to be a man
I think one of the themes is coming of age because it is shown many times throughout the book. Coming of age is shown when Harry has to deal with things that not even adults can deal with and he has to face big tasks. In the book he has to take charge on a lot of things, he starts teaching people how to protect themselves against spells. He is always helping everybody and figuring out the solutions to problems. This effects the book because everybody thinks he's a really good wizard, and he becomes the hero and the center of attention. He becomes trustworthy and gets to know about all the secret stuff that's going on.
Set in 1983, the story follows a group of oddball middle school boys.

A strength for Wish You Wood would be that one of their most popular toys, the train set is a product that consumers are willing to buy. Based on the increase in sales, during the first five months indicate that it is something that people are willing to purchase. One of weakness that Jim and Pam have would be the fact that they are a small company; therefore they aren’t able to negotiate the price of their supplies.

From the reading, Wish You Wood should definitely take advantage of the vacation season. It is during this time, they see an increase of sales from all of the vacationers.
E. M. Forster expresses his personal struggles with owning property in his essay titled “My Wood”.

Often times, countless individuals believe owning land and experiencing economic growth in a personal matter may make someone feel enlightened or perhaps powerful. However, for Forster, the experience only brought upon feelings of misery and self-condemnation. E.M. Forster’s presents his central question in the first paragraph when he asks, “What is the effect of property on the character?” (246). Forster refers to the contradictory nature one feels with owning
