Twisted pair

bustling, but still benign city streets, and a richly-appointed garden walling off the palace of Master Mahn. Only after does Tezuka begin to peel back the benign exterior to show the twisted underbelly. As the caged Osanai is brought inside by two drivers, Tezuka shows a half-page Roman orgy scene encircling a pair of nude performers. The rich, corrupt men, bored by their excesses, demand greater and more perverse pleasures and the ringleader has an infant brought out and placed in the company of

Starting with the overall physique, Gus has the appearance of a man who used to be built like a brick shithouse a decade ago, but keeps in shape well enough to prevent himself becoming a doughy fatass; just a fat-gutted stud. He's still got plenty of muscle in his arms and a bit in his legs, or at least enough to heft about 150 lbs on a good day in the gym. Still, all the best places have been left enjoyably thick and plush, namely his gut, pectorals, and that killer ass of his. Anyways, enough about

The game started out very well for Denver. After forcing Washington to go 3 and out, the Broncos scored on their first play from scrimmage, when quarterback John Elway threw a 56-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Ricky Nattiel, giving Denver a quick 7–0 lead after just 1:57 had elapsed in the game. It was the earliest touchdown any team had ever scored in Super Bowl history (this record would be broken by Jerry Rice in Super Bowl XXIX, and later by Devin Hester in Super Bowl XLI). The Broncos

Mockingbirds are majestic songbirds, well known for their enchanting songs. Though intelligent, mockingbirds are delicate, fragile creatures that are harmless to their surroundings. In Harper Lee’s novel To Kill A Mockingbird, she utilizes the mockingbird as a symbol for the innocent who are harmed by their society. The first instance of the bird’s significance is when Jem and Scout Finch receive air rifles for Christmas. They become interested in shooting birds. Their father Atticus Finch, a

Sometimes the right choice isn’t always the easiest choice. A pair of best friends had found themselves in multiple situations before, but none as severe as the accidental murder of an innocent woman. Although it isn’t likely, when it happens, tough decisions need to be made. The book Of Mice and Men helped show that sometimes when the value of life, vision of the future, and other probable causes of death become muddied, mercy killing can be the only way to go to end the suffering. The value of

A bleak, stark white scene opens Julia Leigh’s Sleeping Beauty; the lead character, Lucy, enters the frame and blends in perfectly. Her pale skin, light hair, and rustled white top are in perfect unison with the monochromatic scene catching her stuff a tube down her throat as a research subject. The audience is compelled to watch this unsettling scene for several minutes as it sets the pace for the remainder of the movie. The film explores a character whose lacking personality allows the viewer to

The “uncanny”, a Freudian term, is used to describe a situation or feeling that feels familiar and foreign at the same time. Through the writings and ideas of Ernst Jentech, and Sigmund Freud, it is defined. Between them the uncanny is described as "...intellectual uncertainty; so that the uncanny would always, as it were, be something one does not know one’s way about in. The better oriented in his environment a person is, the less readily will he get the impression of something uncanny in regard

final continent” where both the narrator and Miranda were unable to connect with each other due to their lack of communication and connection about each other. Contrastingly, such tormented relationship that seems to be fragile, was soon ended by the pair started to learn about each other and slowly connected through their communication. This is very illustrative of the real world where the communication has created the strongest bond of love that is often unbreakable. But as a person’s love fantasy

I make it to the lab in only an hour and half, a reasonable time for never having walked this path before. I take in my surroundings when I arrive; the air is sour and stale, there are no trees and the smoldering concrete covering the expansive horizon burns my paws. It’s even hotter here than in the remaining forest. My blistering paws distract me from the heavy black boots trundling towards me. I winced when a loud voice boomed above me. "Well well well, what do we 'ave here?" The figure

lush green meadows on either side and a river of fire spanned by a rope bridge. It rolled to the edge of a gaping pit, and dropped off in a glowing red cascade throwing nasty shadows across the cliff faces. Colorful Firebirds fluttered in enormous twisted oak trees while hundreds of stinky skunk apes foraged for plum-colored worms in grassy fields rippling with pink and white wild flowers. They were at least ten feet tall, with bowed legs, gorilla like arms, and orange matted fur that glinted gold
