Elm

There are two elm trees growing in front of my house, giants. My house was built in 1871 and the street, Elm Street, named before that. It’s possible those two trees have been growing for centuries. An elm tree can supposedly live to be 300. By that estimate, my trees are barely halfway done. In the morning, the early October chill pushed me to dash from the

This thesis is written in an attempt to analyze the symbolic meanings of the “elms” in Desire Under the Elms from possible angles. The two elms show up at the very beginning of the play, impressing us with “a sinister maternity in their aspect, a crushing, jealous absorption.”(O’Neill, 1925:1) One of the themes in this play is the Oedipus complex coined by Freud, revealed through Eben’s obsession with his mother. His addiction to her even brings about the hatred for both his father and brothers,

Situations are always realistic. In Desire Under the Elms, we see the step-son loving the step mother; an old farmer marrying a young wife; and the crime that takes place as a result of this is so common place in life. Similarly Mourning Becomes Electra has the story of love obsession and mother complex

The year is 1987 and A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors is coming out in theaters. What better time to capitalize on Freddy Krueger, than by releasing novelizations of A Nightmare on Elm Street, A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge and Dream Warriors. The first two movies never had novelizations at the time, so it was the perfect chance to put them in book form. As for Dream Warriors, the author XXX, based his book on an early screenplay of the movie, so the story comes out much

Chevy’s 2014 commercial “Maddie” utilizes what many in the field of psychology would refer to as “The Elaboration Likelihood Model” (ELM). In its most basic explanation, the ELM is a dual-process model that takes into account two separate mechanisms; central route processing, and peripheral route processing. Chevrolet makes efficient use of visual and audio cues to shift the focus of the audience away from what they’re selling and more towards how they want the audience to feel; as well as manipulating

What I learned on elm street ‘’Hey Jibril are you ready’’ I responded with a smirk and said of course these kids won’t know what is coming. The small building held several grades and had one of the worst courts in town. When the coach blew the whistle a Tall skinny man who had strong arms and stern face led the tryouts and the gym erupted into squeals of shoes on hardwood and the crack of the rim every time a shot was taken. The practice was held in a small gym, It was tattooed with baby

Homecoming is filled with tradition, however, this year several new activities were added to make the week more exciting than ever. To make the week a success required meticulous planning and the experience of several veterans. The theme, “Nightmare on Elm Street”, provided for the most anticipated addition, a haunted house after the football game. In mid-September, the senior class voted to select 7 ladies for the 2016 Queen’s Court. Seniors Janet Burkhardt and Courtney Baumann both had sisters on previous

I learned about Elms after I got a recruiting letter from Coach Matt Dyer saying he was interested in my running abilities. So I went home that night and looked up Elms; where it was located, the majors they offered and what life was like on campus. I was very satisfied with all the answers that I got, not only did the college have a beautiful location about an hour and a half away from my home town, it also had their own fireplace to sit around. Their students were very involved in the local communities

In my opinion, the best movie ever made is Nightmare on Elm Street (Wes Craven, 1984). The movie is about a group of teenagers being haunted in their dreams by Freddy Kruger (Robert Englund), a man with knives for hands. The teenagers try to figure out why they are being chosen by Freddy and killed in their sleep.

A monster, by definition, is a person who excites horror by wickedness or cruelty. One fictional character that fits that description perfectly, is the infamous Freddy Krueger. Freddy is the bladed-gloved adversary in Wes Craven’s A Nightmare On Elm Street movie series.
