Edward 's Life Had Been Perfect

In ‘Edward Scissorhands’, Edward goes through new experiences that show his individuality and how he is different to all the community. In the film, characters such as Joyce and Jim firstly rejected Edward as he was different, they then adored him as he did unique art such as hairdressing, gardening, grooming dogs, cutting meat and ice sculpting. Once Edward discovered his talents, he became very popular amongst the community. They used him so that they would have an easier life, but then when he did something wrong he was then rejected again. Being the individual Edward was in the community, he experienced so many new things such as his growing relationship with Kim. His new experiences with Kim made him learn what true feelings for a girl really was. As great as being and individual is with all this said however, being an individual can also be dangerous in a way, as you would get judged by others around you for being yourself. Edward in the beginning of the film had that exact problem, everyone would be judging him for having scissors as hands and would think of him as a scary monster. The reason Edward went to the community in the first place was because of Peg. Peg

The narrator in this torture chamber is submitted to several kinds of traps and torments: the pit, the rats and the closing walls. He tries to escape from each one of these but every time he succeeds he finds himself in a worse situation than he was before. Inside the chamber he is deprived of the sense of sight so at first he cannot know where he is or what dangers surround him. His will however

“The setting plays an important role in how the narrator discovers the many ways he may die” (2). It is a dungeon full of torturing traps, and the character, as any normal human, feels terror inside his prison and fears his death in any of the cruel ways arranged for him. Still, he has to decide between death and the relief which it brings or life with the interminable agony of being tortured as a lab mouse.

There he was lashed over, and over again until he said where he had been, but he never did, because he wanted to protect his “light box” and he did. He later escaped the Palace of Corrective Detention, because it wasn’t guarded at all. It wasn’t guarded, because they thought no one would ever try to

One day during duty, Edward was curious on what is like to be out side the kingdom. Even though he knew he wasn 't supposed to leave the kingdom, he was tired of just standing by the castle waiting for no enemy foe to come across him. While taking his first steps outside the kingdom he had the urge to go back and do his guard the

Edward is an admirable character and displays acts of loyalty throughout the film. We see this quality in Edward when he knowingly breaks into Jim’s house. This shows his loyalty towards Kim because kim was the one to ask Edward to help them break in. Kim asks Edward, “Why’d you do it?” to which Edward replys, “Because you asked me to” This shows how Edward is trying to express his love and loyalty towards Kim. he In this exchange between Edward and Kim, Burton

Then you hit your head on the ground. Hard. There’s a throbbing pain in your head and you feel dizzy. Then you lose consciousness. What just happened?

This shows the viewer that, even though, they love to use his hands to help themselves they are still bothered by how obviously different he is from themselves. They seem to feel that Edward is too different to be accepted into their community without changing who he is, that they have to hide that thing that makes him different. This has also been a continuing theme throughout the history of the human race, and is especially prevalent in today’s media-centric era. If we don’t like what is happening somewhere in the world or if someone wants to create a precise feeling about a certain group of people they only share

When he reaches the first floor and look towards the dungeon all he can see is one steel door. When he goes to open it, it unlocked and makes no sound as it opens. As he enters he can’t see anything just as Mike said, he then takes out his flashlight to see multiple cells within the large room. As he walks closer to one cell he spells something metallic, wait no blood. He rushes closer and hears whimpering, shining the light in the cell he sees a terrified boy surrounded by snakes. Outside his cell hangs a clipboard stating his information as well as his fears which ironically includes

The prisoner is shocked at the new world outside. As he becomes used to his new surroundings, he realizes his former view of reality was wrong. Returning to the cave, he informs the other prisoners of this, however, they do not believe him. This experience is similar to how Ayann Hirsi Ali felt in the book, Infidel.

When Edward forces his

He finds a small patch of ground covered with wet straw looking like it has been scooped out of a barn. It’s damp and reeks of urine and feces. Even animals don’t live this poorly. His patch of ground is no more than three foot by three foot, and he curls himself into a tight ball to try to keep warm and try to get any sleep possible. The only sounds he hears are moaning and sobs. Sounds so common he’d learned to block them out. No one dared talk. The only thoughts are keeping warm and being thankful he survives another day. Communication is something he doesn’t attempt. Silence is what keeps him alive. This is his first night at Nordhausen. He second-guesses his decision to leave Buchenwald. Maybe he would have been better off staying under Becker’s reign? He tightened his grip as best he can around his knees and closes his eyes. He tries to block out everything around him and soon falls asleep.

“I shrank back - but the closing walls pressed me resistlessly onward. At length, for my seared and writhing body, there was no longer an inch of foothold on the firm floor of the prison.” For a few moments my feet felt like they were floating on air. The warm air coming from the pit made me feel uneasy. I tried to grab on to the wall where two sections of the wall join together. For a moment I thought I was saved but I started my descent into the pit. The very horrid smell from decaying bodies caused me to pass out. I must have been completely surrounded in water with at least 25 other decaying bodies. After several minutes I came to a state of consciousness and felt every inch of my skin burning, my heart felt like it was going to explode.

“I’m sorry”, as he forced open the rusted, rarely used, almost antique emergency doors and rushed down the hallway. The whole building rumbled as if an earthquake had struck its premises. The hallway caved in before Edward’s eyes. His ambition of returning home, crushed. Ludvig, before Edward’s eyes, crushed. Edward's experiences with Ludvig were seemingly all coming back at once to haunt him.

“AHHHHHH,” I screamed as I was hit by an enormous thing. “What was THAT?” I asked as I was face down on the ground. “Can someone help me up?”
