Finally, Jamal triumphs over adversity, reaches his destiny and is reunited with Latika only moments before winning the game show. The film’s director, Danny Boyle, exposes the audience to a controversial image of India as a polarised society with grinding and abject poverty and opulent wealth.

Guns in the Classroom 131 people have died in mass school shootings since 1999 to 2015 (Le Miere). This excludes any shootings that have resulted with 4 or less fatalities because they are not considered mass shootings.

We build ourselves out of that story.” Rothfuss explains how storytelling is always a part of everyone. Stories are told in different ways, and those stories shape the person tremendously. Many of the stories told today are what shape the audience. In “The Things they Carried”, by Tim O’Brien, and the film “Big Fish”, directed

“It’s gonna be okay, Stick Man. I swear.” The cops swarmed up beside him and The Robber turned frantic eyes to his. Harvey’s eyes blurred with blue and black. “I’ll write you a letter, Harvey,” he said as the arms of the cops came around him to arrest him and carry him down to the waiting patrol car. “I’ll write you a letter.” THE SHOOTER When Harvey was thirteen, his appendix swelled up like white bread thrown over the top of a soup bowl.

“I recall being one of those kids where every day was a science fair… It's like well, 'here, let's mix this up and see if it blows up'.” Tim Burton was always quirky as a child, but he was okay with his differences and embraced them through his art. Influenced by the “B” horror films from his childhood, Tim Burton brought the iconic dark mood into his movies, giving a modern twist to the idea of monsters and obscurity. The characters portrayed in his films had the obscure qualities that he saw in
