My grandma once told me, “If you stay up too late at night, the boogeyman will get you”. I never believed her but I knew I wouldn’t want to see the Boogeyman if he actually existed. Most people would actually want to watch these horrible beings. In this case, they would want to view a horror movie such as “Friday the 13” or “Nightmare on Elm Street”. It is part of our Human Condition to be attracted to the films and asking for more. Stephen King’s claims in “Why we crave horror” asserts us that humans crave horror to face our fears, to re-establish our feelings of normalcy, and to experience a peculiar sort of fun.

The criminal justice system is well talked about throughout communities, law officials, and etc. Through social media we hear about the criminals who go into prison and the prisoners who return to prison, but never about the ones who change or learn their lesson from it. It is believed that once someone has been arrested and sent to prison or jail, it is likely that they will return to their again at some point in their lifetime. We believe this because we think these criminals were made this way and don’t have the ability to change. The memoir, Dreams from the Monster Factory, written by Sunny Schwartz and David Boodell, talks about the life inside a prison and jail and how Sunny’s RSVP program gives prisoners the ability to change their life around. Dreams from the Monster Factory was Sunny’s experience about what she saw working behind bars. She directed her book towards the public and other jails around her to try to bring awareness about how the RSVP program came and helped out more prisoners to become less violent. Sunny proved this by giving personal stories from real prisoners, how the RSVP program came to help them. This essay is directed towards anyone who hasn’t read this book. In the memoir, Dreams from the Monster Factory, Sunny Schwartz and David Boodell use rhetorical appeals, such as ethos, pathos, and logos, to show her audience that by implanting the RSVP program

Wes Craven’s horror movie “Scream”, inspired the gruesome murder of Gina Castillo. Castillo’s sixteen year old son and his fifteen year old cousin killed Gina Castillo. Why would anyone wish to watch the petrifying film, “Scream”? What would trigger a person to take inspiration from the horror movie, “Scream”. Stephen King describes horror as a piece of the human condition. Author of several horror novels, Stephen King wrote an essay titled “Why We Crave Horror.” In this paper he thoroughly explains why the human species craves horror and how it makes humans feel. In this essay, Stephen King precisely claims that humans desire, horror because horror pushes them to face their fears, renew their feelings of normality, and to expose

When you think of fear, what do you think of? Do you think of something you are absolutely terrified of and do not want to think about or something else. Fear is programmed in your brain as something you want to stay away from for  safety.  Like when we touched a hot pan and burned ourselves now we will not do that again for fear of being burned. Mr.King states three claims that we go to horror movies to have fun and that we go to feel normal and the last one That we go to face our fears but is that really true?

Innocence is a role that plays a part of all human lives, but society and culture evidently show the good and the evil that this world has. Jaycee lives with her mom, baby sister, and mean stepfather, she is getting ready to go to school and starts making her way to the school bus. On her way there she gets abducted by Philip Garrido and Nancy Garrido what Jaycee doesn't know is that her life is never going to be the same. "I'm so scared. I want to go to sleep and pretend this is not happening. Why is this happening to me? Who are these people and what do they want from me?" (Dugard 11). Furthermore, showing that the Jaycee does not even know what kidnapping is all she knows is that something bad is happening to her. The beauty of life is when one can make decisions, but when free will is taken away, one can end up feeling vulnerable and worthless. Phillip has abducted Jaycee for his pleasures and manipulates her in every way possible he verbally, physically, and sexually abuses her at the age of thirteen.

I found an interesting article written by the Harvard Medical School Department of Neurobiology. In 1721 nightmares was defined as a "disease when a man in his sleep supposes he has a great weight laying upon him” (Edwards, n.d.). This definition completely differs from today's definition. are more Today, the different is completely different nightmares affect many adults, however, it affects children more. The reason for this is because children are smaller and more vulnerable more threats than adults (Edwards, n.d.). Nightmares can be caused by a number of factors, however, Edwards states that the most studied cause for nightmares is post-traumatic stress disorder.

Deviance is the behavior and the standards of expectations of a group or society. It is also behavior that is considered dangerous, threatening or offensive. The people that are deviant are often labeled to be weirdos, oddballs, or creeps.
