Dora The Star : Swiper, No Swiptr

As she opens the door into the bedroom, a high pitched screeching sound pierces your ears while bizarre images flash on the screen. The shot then drastically cuts back to the static screen for several seconds. The scene ends. The dramatic screech is effective because it causes a successful jump scare,important to any horror themed film. The scene also demonstrates links to psychological and abnormal sound which is

The average American child watches 20 hours of television per week, that is 5,000 hours before first grade. Most children between the ages of 3-6 years old can even turn on the television and start a DVD by themselves. I am guilty of allowing my children more TV time then they should have, but I guess that is because I enjoy watching it myself. There are many hidden messages in children’s shows that I was oblivious to until now. For instance, in the show “Rugrats” Charlotte Pickles, Angelica’s mom never had time for her, always on the phone and working. Ethnic stereotyping is another message sent in Speedy Gonzalez’s cousin Slow Poke Rodriguez which is lazy, slow, and dim witted. Morality is also affected by these shows. Most every little boy

When the Spaniards under Hernan Cortez gazed upon the Aztec capital of Tenochtitlán in Mexico in 1519, the scene before them amazed them. There, in the middle of a wide lake was a shimmering city with bright white walls of vast buildings sitting on an island in the middle of a large lake with causeways linked to it. The astonishment of those first Spanish visitors soon turned to horror when they saw the vast scale of ritual sacrifices made by the Aztecs.

later, she told investigators that she awoke when she heard a sound of two boards banging together. She jumped out of bed to investigate but all she saw was a flash of light down the hall.

When the Aztecs tell him that they follow a religion with multiple gods, the disdain Cortés feels makes him compel them to “learn there was but one God,” and that they will be “bound to adore and believe Him, and no other creature or thing.” Cortés uses parallelism in order to convey his downcast towards the aztecs incognizant ways of religion, and to force them to learn a different one if they wish to be as respected as his Spanish culture. As well as parallelism, Cortés applies coordinating conjunctions to his letter to further emit his disapproval of the Aztecs way of life. He first removes their deities from their temples, “and forbids them from sacrificing human beings to their idols,” “and during the whole period” of his abode, they were “never seen to kill or sacrifice a human being.” These words convey Cortés’s forcefulness to convert them to his way of religion, and that they are beneath the real God that they should be worshipping. This coordinating conjunction and the use of parallelism create an authoritative tone that convinces the reader that the Aztecs are inferior to Spanish culture because of their savage religion and barbaric

Furthermore, the children will start to show aggressive behavior or start to behave like what they see on TV. (Bandura & Ross 1963) Another argument put forward by opponents could be that children have a choice on what to watch and how long they watch television. However this argument is unrealistic because most children do not have self discipline. They would rather watch something entertaining than a documentary about nature or history for example. They would rather watch the latest “Rambo” movie which is...

Nothing was heard, only the water droplets that drops from the crack ceiling. Making a small puddle on the ground, having mice roaming around the place.

This documentary explained the origin of the Aztec tribe throughout history. As the most powerful tribe in South America, the Aztec’s built their empire on the premise of human sacrifice. Throughout their temples flowed red-oozing blood that was further evidence of such a thing being prominent in their culture. Though, this was not the only starting point associated with the Aztecs. In addition, their symbol was an eagle because a priest saw an eagle settling atop of a cactus and in turn, became a supernatural sign as to

The narrator before the play clarifies what the Theater Society of Aztlan is about. The narrator is costumed as the Aztec sun god in an Aztec elevated structure sanctuary. The range around the sun god was the old Aztec schedule. It demonstrates that the Aztlans have a decent learning about their past. They are pleased that they are from the territory that the Aztecs started from. The play

The movie “ La otra Conquista ” is mainly focused on the arrival of the Spaniards to Mexico and its aftermaths, told from the perspective of the indigenous Aztec people in the 1520s. Since the beginning, we can see how the Spaniards go to America to teach their customs and traditions. This film takes place in Tenochtitlan, on the Aztec capital, in which once the Spaniards colonized it, they started a new fight, not only political but also religious. They reached to dominate, and they went against to what the Aztecs had established, such as their beliefs, myths, legends and sacrifices. “ La otra Conquista ” reflect in many ways the conquest of Mexico and its aftermath.

To begin, the video I watched was titled The Fall of the Aztecs. An interesting fact that I know of the Aztec culture was that schooling was of grave importance to the future. Thus, a scholastic education system was mandatory. Oddly enough, gender separations dictated the type of education received. Despite this schooling, the Aztecs were eventually conquered by the Spaniards due to being outwitted by Cortez.

This shows the act of sacrificial ritual where the Aztecs take the body up to one of the pyramid platforms then cut the person being sacrificed open, then rip out the heart while it is still

Whwhwh…! No! Please no the power went out! No what is that sound? What is that?Nooo ahahah!

The sun rose high in the sky as midday approached. Ordinarily one could hear children playing in the streets of Tenochtitlan, the capital of the mighty Aztec empire. My ears strain to hear the footsteps of bustling passerby on the way to the market or perhaps a vendor hollering about his high-quality women’s clothes, but they searched in vain. All was quiet, not a sound could be heard from within my own home. The silence was deafening; I had an urge to break a vase to end it, but there were not any vases left. My husband and I had ripped all of our clothes and broken all of our furniture. The items we could not break, we threw in the river for it was required of us in order to appease the gods. Everything could be replaced as long as we survive

I could hear mama grabbing something out of her bag and her heels on the hard wood floor walking back towards me "click clack click clack".
