It all began in Central City. A forensic scientist for the C.C.P.D (Central City Police Department) was at the scene of a murder by the infamous Mardon Brothers, two criminals who can rob banks in the blink of an eye. The scientist’s name is Barry Allen, and even though he looks happy and cheerful, he’s tormented. When he was 11 years old, his mother was murdered by an unknown force known as “the man in the yellow suit.” Barry said he saw red and yellow lightning surrounding his mother as she screamed in the center of their living room. His dad told his “little slugger three words he would never forget: “Run, Barry, run!” and was whisked away about a mile from his house by the mysterious yellow lightning. By the time Barry got home, it …show more content…
Iris is dating Joe’s new partner, Eddie Thawne, because Joe’s old partner was shot in the face chasing the Mardon brothers. They tried to escape by plane but the blast from the particle accelerator cut their flight short and ended the Mardons once and for all (or did it?). Barry also finds that he is not the same when he sees a waitress at CC Jitters, a café where Iris works, drop a tray in slow motion and later at the police station where he super-speeds to stop a criminal from taking a cop’s gun, and in an alley behind the station where he super-speeds into a mattress truck. Barry then goes back to the scientists at S.T.A.R Labs (Cisco Ramon and Caitlin Snow) to tell them what happened to him and to train his newfound powers, but while he was running, he had a flashback (no pun intended) of his mother and saw the face of the man in the yellow suit and, distracted by this memory, he runs into a barrel and fractures a limb. Luckily, with super-speed comes super-healing. He later runs into the man who robs banks followed by freak weather storms, who turns out to be Clyde Mardon, who did not die in the plane crash, but gained weather powers. When Barry tried to tell Joe, he grew frustrated at Barry’s crazy supernatural theories: “There’s no controlling the weather, Barry. Just

Being the president of the United States is the most challenging position one can have. The president of the Unites States wears numerous hats; nonetheless, not every president takes the same attitude on the job. In 1972, James David Barber who was a professor at Duke University published a book titled “The Presidential Character: Predicting Performance in the White House.” The book was signaled as a study of presidential characters, and simply perceived the temperament and personality in assessing how the country’s Chief Executive approached the presidency. Though there were defects in Barber’s approach in his effort to determine the personalities of multiple presidents, his method was indeed very interesting and worthy of trying. Now, let

But if the seal surfaces faced down with halfway submerged under water still then this was a preview for ominous weather to come that day.

Craig Mullaney definitely made many challenges for himself and accepted challenges from others with no questions asked. Being the thriving Valedictorian of his high school class and earning other prestigious accolades he stood out from the other entire student. But at West Point, Mullaney would be intertwined with hundreds of other classmates with the same, if not more achievements, making it seemingly impossible to be any kind of a predominant student.
In the beginning of chapter one, McCloud starts of by narrating through one of his flashbacks when he first started to read comic books. At first McCloud was in denial of what comics can truly mean, but as he began to read he was hooked. The main character is drawn as younger version of himself with stars and thick lines around his head with a surprise looked towards the comic he is reading. Throughout the next panels he draws himself with an astonishing look in his face because he found something he can fully understand. Before he can continue his memory McCloud's cuts in the middle of the flashback and he's back to his normal version saying, “I felt there was something lurking in comics… something that had never been done. Some kind of hidden power!” (McCloud 3). McCloud is trying to say that he felt something more when

6) and this immediately made me think of a TV series called The Flash. The Flash created by Greg Berlanti, Andrew Kreisberg, and David Nutter is a show about a man named Barry Allen. Barry’s mom (Nora Allen) was murdered when he was young, and Barry thought that he saw a man in a yellow suit flashing around and then he saw that man killed his mom. Barry then became a forensic scientist to find the “man in the yellow suit” and remove his father (Henry Allen) who was blamed for the crime from prison. One late night, Barry was struck by lightning and hit by a wave of dark matter at the same time which gives him the ability of super speed to save Central City from evil “metahumans” that were also created by this incident. The reason I think that this quote reminds me of The Flash is because part of the story of The Flash is that he is the impossible. He doesn’t know how, he just is. In the first episode of The Flash, you can hear a voice over of Barry say “To understand what I’m about to tell you, you need to do something first... you need to believe in the impossible… My whole life I've been running. Usually from
