Monsters Vs Alien

In 1996, a rumored interview between the government and an alien occurred and the footage was release to the public. The color video lasts almost three minutes and UFO hunters claim it was taken from a secret base on Area 51. Some say the being goes on to die. If this is all true, surely NASA knows about similar encounters.

“Monster”, a 1999 novel by Walter Dean Myers, is an incredible story told through the fictional movie script of a boy on trial for murder and robbery. It’s an intriguing read that triggers deep thought and empowers the hearts within all. A book notable for its messages against implicit bias, encouraging the notion of truth within yourself, you can speculate on its events from start to finish and beyond. But it’s worth pondering of its connection to real life. Does “Monster” truly reflect the criminal justice system of our country’s society today? Read on to discover the shocking answer.

“Fear and euphoria are dominant forces, and fear is many multiples the size of euphoria” - Alan Greenspan. New York author, Alan Greenspan, here is explaining that the threat fear presents is really no different than the state of intensity caused by euphoria. In Andrew J. Hoffman’s anthology, Monsters, there is substantial evidence that both fear and euphoria are inflicted upon men, by female monsters. The two threats men typically face against women are temptation and emasculation. Thus, in mythology and folklore, female monsters exemplify the impulse of desire (sexually) for men, and male weakness. These are creature that are lusted after and yet, still feared because of their power. Men find female monsters both fearsome and euphoric and will always threaten their dominance and control.

There is such kind of monsters, remain their appearance as a human, yet the things they do can only describe as monstrosities. They are not monsters in books and literature, a fear of unknown or sexual desires. People were, or still are facing actual brutal violence or psychological terror from those monsters. More importantly, the monster being talked here is one of our kind. They are human, yet described as “inhuman”, under the inhuman category of Stephen T. Asma’s book On Monsters, a bloody history, a dark past of humanity have been introduced as a monster. It is Khmer Rouge’s infamous security prison S21: the representation of the massacre took place in Cambodia in 20th century and this kind of monster, unfortunately, is still relevant to the world, even till this day.

Have you ever heard of aliens landing on Earth and turning all the power off on one street? Well on “The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street” they do. It all starts one day when everybody was having a good time outside doing yard work and playing. Then, out of nowhere a HUGE meteor passes overhead. After that all the power goes out even the cars and radios. A fourteen year old boy, Tommy, says that the meteor was a alien space ship, and that there are four aliens among them that look just like humans. After a few hours everybody starts accusing each other, fighting, and shooting each other. Then we (the readers) find out that it was aliens all along, but they never got off the spaceship. They just turned

The Alienist is a crime novel by Caleb Carr first published in 1994. It takes place in New York City in 1896, and includes appearances by many famous figures of New York society in that era, including Theodore Roosevelt and J. P. Morgan. The sequel to the novel is The Angel of Darkness.[1] The story follows Roosevelt, then New York City police commissioner, and Dr. Laszlo Kreizler, as their investigative team attempts to solve gruesome murders through new methods including fingerprinting and psychology. The first murder victim investigated is a 13-year-old immigrant who has had his eyes removed, his genitals removed and stuffed in his mouth, and other injuries. The investigators deal with various interest groups that wish to maintain the status quo regarding the poor immigrant population in New York City.

(2) Aileen never felt guilty toward her victims. In the movie, she mentioned that “people kill each and other everyday” for religion and politics, and “there are heroes”. She could not stop killing because she felt that she had to kill people who could rape her to avoid them to rape somebody else. If she had not been caught, she would kill more people. At the end of the movie, after she was convicted, she still considered that the judge sentenced “a right woman to death”.

Reality sometimes appears like it is a fulfillment of a dream. In Monster by Dean Myers, various characters portray the theme of Dream and reality. The story demonstrates what is like to be in a courtroom, jail and various struggles one family faces due to the action of judicial system. Dean Myers demonstrates more realistic picture of what it means to be in jail. Sometimes to be behind bars it is to be far from being in a state of freedom. We see the dream and reality through Steve Harmon, who is the main character, who is involved in robbery of drug store but not in the actual killing of the owner of the store. He faces a possible life imprisonment for his participation in the crime, on the other hand two of the robbers possibly face a death

“Look then, if you dare, at South Central through the eyes of one of its most notorious Ghetto Stars and the architect of its most ghastly gang army- the Crips” (Scott 1993:xv). Sanyika Shakura, birth name Kody Scott, explains to his readers the violence, attitudes, and brutality he experienced first hand in the 1980s when he joined a gang called The Crips at age eleven. According to Kontos and Brotherton (2008), writers of The Encyclopedia of Gangs, define the name Crip as “the combination of the word crib and the acronym R.I.P. that denotes the intergenerational nature of the gang and membership from birth to death (Sloan, 2005)” (p. 43-44). Shakura, referred to as Scott throughout this piece, walks us

The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street is a story about aliens turning off power on a street and putting people against each other. The Andy Griffith Show is a TV show with an episode about a new person named, Ed, in town that knows everything about Maybury and is accused of being supernatural. The story and episode are alike and different. The way to compare and contrast them involves setting, mood, irony, theme, complications, and conflict. The main reason these two are similar is because of superstition. The main reason they are different is because of the endings.

Young people facing adversity is a common theme authors explore, but the lessons we learn from fiction often help us in ways we might not expect. It is inevitable that we will face some sort of adversity during our lifetime but it is not how hard it makes our lives but how we choose to deal with it that make us who we are. In A Monster Calls, Conor finds that instead of ignoring the consequences of his mother’s terminal illness he simply needs to accept the adversity and find a way to deal with it. Similarly, when Wendy Harmer was a child she suffered desperately from the result of the bullies who often picked on her because of her facial deformity and her race. In both cases the sufferers found that the only way to deal with adversity was

There are several monsters in Pan’s Labyrinth by Guillermo Del Toro. However, no other monster fits the description of a monster better than Captain Vidal. He is callous, cruel, and heinous. In Pan’s Labyrinth, Guillermo Del Toro exhibits Captain Vidal’s monstrous characteristics through Vidal’s own actions and other characters such as the Pale Man.

When taking the time to examine the characters of Annette Reille, from the play, and Nancy Cowan, from Carnage, it is easy to find their likenesses, but there are also some noticeable differences. One of the main reasons for all of these differences is merely different interpretations of the character by different readers. For example, the tone in which certain lines are said or in the way a certain action is portrayed can change the whole personality of a character. When reading, the reader portrays each of the characters as he/ she believes them to be, but then another reader could have a difference of opinion and change the whole attitude; this was the case if you consider the readers to be myself and Kate Winslet.

As we could see clearly, both stories emphasize the evident theme, which is that appearances could be deceived. In my story, we could observe that the boy, which seems a horrible person and student achieves to get change of her teacher’s mind and demonstrate that he is an excellent person.

A Monster Calls has many good elements about it, but the first like is the acting of both CGI and realistic characters. Lewis McDougall leads the way as Conor, and plays the isolated child with the weight of the world on his shoulder fantastically, especially in regards to the way he looks lost in his mind. Felicity Jones impresses me as well as the caring mother going through some very trying times. I can't tell how much is the look and how much is her ability portray suffering, but the woman's abilities continue to impress me. And Liam Neeson as the monster is a welcome addition, as his rugged voice is a perfect match for the design of the creature that somehow is filled with so much wisdom (hello flora version of Asland).
