In hat way does the distinctively visual influence your understanding of people and the events within texts? Distinctively visual texts aim to manipulate the we perceive images critically affecting our interpretation of events and people we meet in our lives. Distinctively visual techniques are utilised in the ‘Run Lola Run’ directed by Tom Tykwer and the picture book ‘Red Tree’ written by Sean Tan.

Meliza had listened to Audette’s story with a dubious brow. Being her first pupil she didn’t know quite what to say to the incredible tale. Deciding to carry on course playing things by ear, the only information she could offer her hatchling was a few primary fundamentals of Dark-Witch life that shed light around the topic Audette had inadvertently brought forward. “Every-so-often, in order to keep our numbers up,” she started with an explanatory finger, “Witches are selected by the Queen to engage

The City of Stillwater and Oklahoma State University have proposed the erection of a “Western White House” as a presidential retreat. It is to be built here in Stillwater, Oklahoma after the 2016 election. Past presidents starting with Woodrow Wilson and on have all selected an out-of-the-way place to escape the political pressures of Washington and what other place will be more out-of-the-way than Stillwater, Oklahoma? The location for the “Western White House” will be adjacent to the grounds of

Today is the day, I, Matthew Roach, ride Mystic Timbers at Kings Island. I am riding with my father, Steve, and my sister, Abby. Abby and I notice fake security cameras on a television. We recognize the footage on the TVs as Slenderman, which is a horror game. We have been waiting in line for about the past 15 minutes and finally it is our turn. We get in the train and wait for the ride to start. The people monitoring the Mystic Timbers yell “ALL CLEAR” and the ride began. The wooden track was rough

of General Zaroff. General Zaroff is similar to his palace because the outside of his palace is like the inside of him. He says this because the outside of his house evil like the way he is. Outside his house he has a spiked gate with a leering gargoyle which is in some cases a very dark, and evil house and that is the way how people see him. Zaroff is very vicious,

To the modern day reader, the term “Gothic” can often be confused with a certain genre of style involving men and women who wear baggy clothes, black eyeliner and lip-stick and spike their hair and has very little to do with the architecture that was predominantly used from the twelfth to the sixteenth century. In fact the term “Gothic” was coined by Renaissance Italians as a derogatory term referring to the Goths or Visigoths who were vanquished by Clovis in the sixth century and left no monumental

from this area. The cave must have been a picturesque location before the vampires moved in and I hoped our efforts at cleansing it mean it will return to its former beauty. As I begin to walk past Serana, she took hold of my wrist with a playful yet firm grip, throwing me slightly off balance and pulled me to her, I know struggling against a vampire’s grip is pointless. Her body pressed against mine and somehow she gently kissed my lips. Just for an instant her soft lips press against my own.

Religion was far more important in almost every area of medieval life than it is in most modern societies. The vast majority of people in Europe followed the Christian religion under the authority of the Roman Catholic Church. The church in that era had great wealth, political power and influence over community life, art, architecture and education.
