Death, the one thing every person will eventually face, could be seen as an end or an entrance. What is your extent of a friendship? How far are you willing to go to help the person you care for?

But sometimes we may have to go to the extreme, as long as we know it was the right thing to do from the heart because that’s how much you know you care. In the story Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck, I strongly believe that George was right to kill Lennie.

The Boy in the Striped Pajamas, written by John Boyne, displays the importance of never letting a holocaust happen again, and he puts this into words in a sarcastic way. John Boyne’s story is a good teaching tool for the Holocaust, because he displays the overall theme, which is millions of Jews being put into concentration camps, and killed. He adds details of how Jewish people were treated horribly, which is what happened in the Holocaust. However what John Boyne fails to do is elaborate on the little details. For instance, the fence would have been barbed wire and it is not in the story. Despite the minor details, the story is a good teaching tool for the Holocaust, because it fulfills what

In The Outsiders by S.E Hinton, she shows us that everyone has more to them than what they allow us to see.

Ponyboy and Johnny did make the right decision by running away after killing Bob with a switchblade. I am on this side because many bad things could have happened if they would have stayed. If they did stay they would have gotten more hurt, they would have gone to jail, and the authority favors the Socs over the greasers. Even though they could get in more trouble when they get back because they hid, it is more likely that they won’t. I think that both ways will turn out bad for both of them, but I think that running away will be best.

Put yourself in the middle of the Alaskan wilderness, with only oversized boots, the clothes on his back, and a 10 pound bag or rice. Chris McCandless donated all of his money, and burned the remaining few dollars in his wallet. He basically shut himself out. He was determined to live out his life how he wanted to. But his way. Nothing would stop him. Nothing would ruin his plans. And he would not chest himself. He had one way to do it and one way only. Chris was a very stubborn man, but very amusing. The reason I believe that he went off into the Alaskan wilderness is to relieve his live. Although many may argue that McCandless’s mental illness served as a primary reason for his voyage into the wilderness, there is more evidence showing that

No outcome is ever the same as another. There’s always a different ending. If there wasn’t, life would be on a loop. This is what Victor Frankenstein, a brilliant scholar, begins to worry about in Frankenstein, by Mary Shelley. He made a promise to make another creature of the opposite sex for the one he has already created. However, the creator opened his eyes, and realized that there are negative results to this deal that has been made. The young scholar didn’t want to break the promise, but he was looking for the best interest of his family. One reason why Victor didn’t want to make another monster was because this female monster that was about to be built still posed as a threat to the Frankenstein family. She may feel hatred of some sort towards their family, and may

Go ahead and think of a person who a lot of people look up to and would consider to be a “legend”. Now think of all the people you can think of that you would consider legendary. I would have to bet that all of them have something in common, they were courageous people. Whatever it is they did, it wasn’t from making excuses and being scared. All the people who I can think of did some frickin work and didn’t think twice before they did something really awesome. I am going to prove to you that it takes courage to be successful.

The major problem with using only logos to appeal to your audience is that you are not able to make an emotional connection with your audience, and most of the time people will feel as if the presenter is talking down to them. A perfect example of this is the commercial for Shamwow, and how “Vince” has a slight cockiness to his personality when presenting this product to the viewer. In order to capture the attention of your target audience, one must try to tap into the emotions and try to implement a particular idea that will leave them with a particular emotion. By creating an upbeat and happy advertisement, people will be able to make that emotional connection with the product.

Well, well, well.....it looks like someone has in store for us this Christmas! You know that when it comes to Christmas, there are always full of surprises, especially for a simple guy named Tom Fletcher. Who is this guy anyway? If you don't know what McFly is all about, they're one of the most popular pop rock music bands in the world. When you have the time to check their songs, for sure you'll be loving them no matter what. Tom Fletcher's appearance is kind of comparable to Daniel Radcliffe as Harry Potter. Unfortunately, Daniel Radcliffe is still the best to portray Harry than Tom Fletcher. Sorry dude, but you're just something else! Anyways, it was recently reported that McFly's Tom Fletcher is set to do something different. It's something

“The basic dilemma of all human existence is that each element of the psychic apparatus makes demands upon us that are incompatible with the other two. Inner conflict is inevitable”. Richard Kelly’s careful utilization of the tangent universe in Donnie Darko, as well and the characters within it, are reflective of Freuds aspects of the human psyche, and the unconsciousness mind. Freud’s structure of the mind is composed of the id, ego, and superego and each are represented by one the main characters in the film. At the conscious level of the human psyche emotional, physical, and spiritual awareness is fully realized.
