Phelps family discouraging the population by yelling that they are all going to hell, and that God hates this world for accepting the ways of the world. They don’t care if the person is Christian or not, according to them, the world has no salvation (Theroux). In page 62 of the Baptist manual, it states that Baptist should believe in “justification”, because it “includes that pardon of sin” (Hiscox). This is clear evidence that the Westboro church does not go by the manual of Baptists. The most horrifying
Arguably the most shocking show of power and the lack of the restrictions he faced in the original documentary was when Theroux discovers that Savile has his personal details including home address Savile simply states, “There is nothing I can’t do and nothing I can’t get”. Another showcase of this level of power is within the report of another victim who was in hospital for burnt hands. Savile climb in her window and whilst assaulting her, made comments about her past teen pregnancy, showing that
“The Most Hated Family in America,” is a 2007 BBC documentary film by Louis Theroux, who followed members of the Westboro Baptist Church, in Topeka, Kansas, in order to document their outrageous and controversial views. Theroux spent three weeks with the Phelps family, descendants of Fred Phelps, who founded the Westboro Baptist Church in 1955. Members of the Westboro Baptist Church strongly believe that soldiers killed in combat, are God’s punishment for homosexuality and the increased support
The film we watched in class was called Louis Theroux: Extreme Love – Autism. The main point of this film was to show you what it is like for those who live with autism, and the loved ones that have to deal with it. “Autism is a developmental disability” (“Autism – Autism Spectrum Disorders”, 2017). People with autism usually have problems with communication, language, and social skills. The individual from the film that I will be analyzing will be Nicky. Nicky during the time of the film was nineteen
Fence,” Paul Theroux describes his trip to Nogales, Mexico. He begins his essay by illustrating the physical appearance of the wall separating Nogales, Arizona and Nogales, Mexico. He calls it “an unintentional masterpiece”. Theroux feels the wall is somewhat informal. He discovers that crossing the border into Mexico is not too difficult itself. He marvels over the appearance of the wall and also the underlying call to action it places on a person, “Do you go through, or stay home?” Theroux decided he
Men vs. Women I do not pretend to be a complete expert in the vast world of men and women. However, as one of these creatures, I decided early on in life to do my best to figure out the relationship between us and our counterparts. This was very interesting to me because, unlike most people, I do not believe that we simply "evolved" to become what we are today. I believe we were created the way we are by a very big God who knew what He was doing, and did it for a purpose. After
there is inherently nothing wrong with these answers the real problem lies in the fact which all men cannot live up to these standards. These men are left questioning themselves on their masculinity. A man should not let stereotypes define him. Paul Theroux addresses many of the common stereotypes in his essay “Being a Man”, “I was told to take up a sport, get more fresh air, join the Boy Scouts, and I was urged not to read so much.” and “Being a drunkard is another assertion, if misplaced, of manliness…

The stadium grew quiet as Louis walked to the front of the stage “Lately I’ve been seeing a lot of Larry Stylinson things going around and there is something I want to say about it.” He glanced over at one of the Modest members who was signaling for him to stop talking but he ignored him and looked back at Harry and motioned for him to come over to him. “How many people here believe Harry and I are in a relationship?”The crowd began cheering then Louis got them
thing keeping Louis from running out of the building. “Up for a doughnut there, tommo?” And Niall’s boyish good looks, of course. “Nah mate, not today. I’m staying for a bit after class,” Louis tells him and he stands up, gathering his notes and books into a pile on the white wash table. He’s barely even moved a single sheet of paper before the boy slams his hand down right on Shakespeare’s face. “Apologize,” Louis says, and Niall laughs. “Absolutely not. Staying for what?” Louis’ stomach drops
“Come on Louis, just tip your head back.” Niall hissed. The other omega groaned and began to splash at the dirty tub water. Liam looked over his shoulder and frowned. He could see that his own omega was becoming frustrated. Like expected Louis was being difficult. He was beginning to wish Ed had given him more medication to make him sleep longer, it would certainly make it easier to get things done. Even though Louis couldn’t walk well yet, refused to speak, and was still quite out of it he managed
