One of the big events of my childhood was seeing Poltergeist for the first time at seven years old. I saw it on a 4:3 set on a by-now very old DVD in my parents' bedroom, after my mom had recently come home from the hospital after surgery. One night, my dad came home from the library with some DVDs, and one of them was Poltergeist. I popped it into the DVD player without hesitation because I'd wanted to see it since I was five. I knew from the moment it started, Poltergeist was going to be a great

Joan Didion is wearing oversize black sunglasses in a crowded, dark movie theater where the film about her life is premiering. Standing beside her nephew Griffin Dunne, who directed the documentary Joan Didion: The Center Will Not Hold (Netflix), the 82-year-old Californian’s all-black ensemble plays well with her ashy white bob: Tucked slightly under her chin, its color is stripped and striped, but its body and character are as full as ever.

Time and the Conways (1937) and A Dream Play (1901) play with the idea of time as nonlinear. Influenced by John William Dunne, Priestley begins to investigate his own conception of time as the past, present, and future all happening at once. Strindberg, although he wrote A Dream Play ahead of Dunne and Priestley, also expounds on similar ideas linking time and dreams. Dreams can free us from viewing time’s structure as fixed and linear. Therefore, both playwrights begin to make theatre audiences

The Triangular Silas Marner As a result of betrayal, Silas Marner of George Eliot's so titled novel becomes a man in body without incurring any of the duties normally associated with nineteenth century working class adults. Eliot creates these unusual circumstances by framing our title-hero so it appears to his comrades that he has stolen money. Thereby, she effectively rejects innocent Marner from his community and causes him to lose his fiancé. At this pivotal moment in Marner's
I chose to read the novel “One Nation” by Dr. Ben Carson .It showcases Ben Carson’s life and achievements. It also showcases his political and social views about the government. Dr. Benjamin Solomon Carson Sr. is a world renowned neurosurgeon. He was born in Detroit, Michigan. He attended Yale and earned a Bachelor’s of Arts degree for Psychology (Benjamin Carson Biography par.17). He acquired a M.D. from the University of Michigan for neuroscience.

Let us prove” by Ben Jonson shows more eloquence and wordplay than the more recent poem “Wild Nights-Wild Nights” by Emily Dickinson. This is partly because of the way that people spoke at that point in time, and partly to disguise the meaning with subtlety. The more recent poem shows less eloquence, but it does have a double meaning. They are both, however, deceptive on the surface with underlying sexual messages in their context. A comparison of “Come, My Celia, Let us prove” by Ben Jonson and “Wild
