In the modern movie genre, horror movies accounts for very great proportion of the number of followers. Relevantly, the zombie film genre has been developed into a dominant part of mainstream horror, replacing the previous monster such as vampires and werewolves. In Max Brooks’s essay “The Movies That Rose From the Grave”, he offers his opinion that throughout the process of zombie film transformation, it increasingly captivates viewers while gradually generates the modern horror. Brooks’s essay should be an appropriate inclusion of a college textbook which explains the phenomenon of the “undead explosion” in various kinds of media, proving to the audiences with enthusiasm, interest, credibility and specific examples that zombie culture is resurrecting a formerly obsolete genre.

Breathless is in many ways the antithesis of the classical Hollywood cinema; the changes have a direct effect on the relationship the film has with the viewer. Classical Hollywood cinema includes standards such as continuity editing, highly motivated, character-driven stories and a coherent narrative structure. Breathless defies these elements of traditional filmmaking, instead defining what we know as French New Wave.

In his new book, The Divide, Matt Taibbi takes a look at the inconsistency between a major fall in crime rates and yet an increase in prison population. Taibbi shows, through many examples that poverty rates plummeted during the 2000s. Naturally, if an individual faces more poverty related situations in their lives, he or she is more likely to take part in illegal activities. But Taibbi presents this isn't the case here. Within the last few decades as poverty levels have been going up, violent crime rates have been decreasing continuously. Although there are reports of violent crime rates going down, it just doesn't seem to make any logical sense how the prison population in America keeps increasing unless looked at from different academic

The promise of the original American Dream has become an illusion due to the lack of opportunities available for Americans to succeed in present-day America. To demonstrate this issue, The Divide by Matt Taibbi focuses on the increasing wealth gap between the rich and the poor. Particularly, Taibbi tells us a story about a young man who suffers from the unfair treatment in the American justice system because of his homelessness. Taibbi writes, “He wasn’t educated, but he knew this math cold: a cop writing something meant he was about to be handed a summons, which in turn meant a court appearance and then jail if he couldn’t pay the two-hundred-dollar fine or whatever it was, which he probably couldn’t” (55). In this quote, the author is referring

“I’ll just skip one more meal” is a quote many people say, but heard by few. I’ve heard it almost my whole life. This disease is rarely mentioned, and looked at as a joke. So ridiculously toxic, it can tear families apart. I know this from firsthand experience, and so does Furious Pete.

War can not only present graves physical danger, but can psychologically affect all who partake in it. These two horrors of war are vividly illustrated in Liam O'Flaherty's, "The Sniper", a third person (limited) view of a trapped sniper's internal and external struggle.
