Deadly Friend Psychology

Paul's has just moved to Gate a prestigious school at which his mother works at. Coming out of a troubling divorce his mother packs up pal and moves. A few weeks after he moved to town he started becoming friends with Charlie. People's differing views towards Charlie leaves Paul at a stuck point with many people in his life. For example Binky, Paul's best friend for a while took him in, hung out with him, and made him feel like a friend.

Paul begins to make frequent visits to the university library in an attempt to discover more about Keller's past. Incidentally, he discovers a couple having sex on the floor and decides to watch on. In his mind, this makes Paul thing about having sex himself. And in turn having sex with his first crush at his new school Megan Murray whom he admits to the sexual dreams he has had about her and despite her appreciation, she rejects him. After returning back to school Paul meets new student Rosie Zollo, who falls for Paul however he initially finds her annoying. After the advent of Pauls newfound sexual maturity, Paul will fall for Rosie. "Each day my eyes seemed to be opened just a little wider, and more of that sun-drenched town of lush garden, scents, and sexuality seemed to cram itself in. Nothing I heard in that dark, humid room in the Swam had much place in my new world.." later on the couple share their first sexual experiences with each other. Megan, who Paul later has sex with, regrets it and realizes his love for Rosie. This shows Megan who is a symbol of Pauls sexual adolescence and was really only a depiction of physical attraction. Pauls maturity then blossoms when being around Rosie who he learns to love and care for her in a way that he had never cared about Megan. His love for Rosie grows so deep he then begins to sadly ignore keller and begins to miss lessons to be with

First is the history of Halloween all according to a 2017 article from LiveScience by Benjamin Radford. Around 2,000 years ago in the United Kingdom Ireland, and the northern part of France the people called the Celts started this holiday. They called it Samhain back then instead of Halloween. November 1st marked their new year which resulted in them celebrating on October 31st. The New Year brought wintertime which to them meant death. On the night before winter which was October 31st, they believe that the spirits of the Dead came back. They wore costumes, put on bonfires, burned crops and sacrificed animals. When the Romans

Purpose: To inform the audience of how Halloween started and transformed to what it is now.

Wes Craven’s 1996 Scream was a cult classic that people still enjoy today. It was produced by 2 separate companies, Dimension films and Woods Entertainment. The movie combines all the cliches in horror movies, and it also gives you the perspective of the victims and how they would react with the knowledge of horror movies plus their opinion of the horror movies. The movie centers around Sidney Prescott and her struggles dealing with her mother’s rape and murder, and the idea of her convicting the wrong man of the murder. Once 2 people from her school get murdered a reporter tries to bring up the idea that the same man who murdered her mother might be killing the kids in present time. By the end of the movie they reveal who “Ghostface” is, it turns out

In its infant stages, Halloween was simply a concept - and that concept was about a babysitter who is stalked by the boogeyman. John Carpenter made the comment “We are all afraid of the same things… so that makes a movie that deals in our fears, universal.” Irwin Yablans (executive producer to Halloween) came up with the title for the film and set the stage for the babysitter, the boogeyman, and the darkest holiday of the year. John Carpenter (director / co-writer / music composer) and Debra Hill (script supervisor) went to Moustapha Akkad and requested the funds to create this film. Moustapha had not previously entered into the horror genre prior to this venture. When John pitched the idea to him, he was intrigued and pulled in with the mention of the “babysitter” so he agreed to finance

You can tell that Paul is afraid of his older brother, Erik. Another quote that showed flashback was, “I turned around and saw Vincent Castor. He was holding a can of spray paint. Then I felt Erik grab me from behind. And I remembered Erik’s fingers prying my eyelids open while Vincent Castor sprayed white paint into them.

Therefore, after the Cruz family and Paul near the end of fighting “The Freeze”, Luis tell Paul, “‘I’m just telling you this so you’ll know. You seem kinda scared of Erik and Arthur Bauer.’ ‘Yeah. I am. Who wouldn’t be?’... Luis’s uncle walked up and started talking to him, so I drifted back inside, thinking about my fear of Erik. How could I be so totally afraid, and Luis not be the slightest bit afraid, of the exact same thing?’(229) Paul becomes aware that not everyone is afraid of Erik and he begins to question his own beliefs about his feelings towards his brother. It puts into perspective that his “big and scary” problems are not such great conflicts when one takes the initiative to stand up to them. This influences Paul to lose his trepidation for when he confronts Erik. It reduces Erik’s power over keeping Paul silent when he witnesses his older brother committing something unlawful. Adding to that, after being reminded of a familiar name, Castor, and white spray paint, Paul analyzes what really led to the beginning of his terrible eyesight. He confronts his parents and they say, “‘You were five years old, Paul. There was only so much you could understand. All you could understand was that something bad had happened… I was so terrified that you would

First, Paul experiences a growing understanding of his friends. Such as Victor who plays a major character when Paul moves to Tangerine Middle School. Paul’s first impression of Victor is demonstrated when he says, “‘Lake Windsor?-that team’s a joke man. We’re gonna bust you up this year. You got that big Italian kid, right? Think he’s bad? He’s a joke, man. He’s nothin’. And the rest of you guys?... That makes you less than nothing’. Less than zero. That’s you Lake Windsor Man. Less than zero . You’re a negative integer’”(106). “‘ Listen, Fisherman, here it is. If you’re gonna play with us, then you’re gonna play with us. Do you understand?’ I nodded. ‘If you’re a War Eagle then you’re a War

When Paul goes on leave he realizes, that it is not as great as he thought

Paul at the beginning of the school year made choices that helped him “fit in” more. “It was Erik.” Paul says that Erik tried to kill him, which made his parents think that he is insane, and blaming everything on Paul page. 3. “I expected different.” This showed that Paul thought the house was gonna be different as well as the move page. 2-6. Finally, “I put on my glasses, there was a loud bang.” Showing that he heard a loud noise, and was affected by it happening. Paul has tried to grow as a character, and he started from being a wimp, to becoming a bold character.

“When I came out of the exhibit, I saw a bunch of guys from Tangerine Middle going in.”(78) Paul’s choice is to tell on Victor and Tino. The consequence of Paul’s choice is the he goes to school with Victor and Tino. Tino find out and Paul gets kicked in the back by Tino. “Suddenly I felt a swift kick in my back side.”

Paul tries to regain some of his youthful innocence by sleeping w/ one of the women they met

In the opening scene of the movie, a little boy is shown playing in the rain. The boy’s name is Georgie and he is doing what kids have done in the rain for years, which is playing with a toy boat in the gutter. The camera then shows Georgie’s paper boat unfortunately flow into a gutter in the sidewalk. Georgie starts yelling “NOOO” at the loss of his boat and scarmbles up to the gutter. At first the gutter appears empty, until the audience hears a terrifying voice say “Hi Georgie!” and the terrifying clown head shown in my image appears inside the gutter. The clown we know as penywise. Pennywise asks if Georgie wants his boat back and Georgie says yes. Pennywise then asks Georgie if he wants a balloon and cotton candy. Georgie eagerly reaches inside and the demonic clown pulls him in and murders the boy.

Horror films share similar characteristics. Horror is meant to enact fear into its audience. Most horror films scare their audiences by using vampires, zombies, ghosts, blood, or gore. However, the film, Rosemary’s Baby (1968), scares its audiences, not by blood and gore. Rosemary’s Baby is one of the scariest films made, but does not conform to the normal horror genre. Roman Polanski’s film tells a story of a young mother who manipulated to give birth to Satan’s baby. Guy Woodhouse (John Cassavetes), an actor, is enticed by wealth. He is promised by the old couple next door (Ruth Gordon and Sidney Blackmer), who are part of a Satanic cult, riches in exchange for his wife’s, Rosemary (Mia Farrow), womb. Rosemary’s Baby is a horror film due to the cultural response of the audience based on real-life events of the 1960’s.
