Bernardo? Maybe I could just describe her as someone that is moody and erratic. She easily feels irritated when she doesn’t want what is happening. But behind that insane personality she has, she is a friend that you can rely on; she understands your silence and accepts your weaknesses. She’s a sympathetic girl that always feel bad whenever she saw someone crying, she imagine herself that she is in the place of that person. But who really was Jillary Anne Bernardo? Well, as far as I know, Jillary is just a simple freshman student in De La Salle Health Sciences Institute that taking the course of Medical Laboratory Sciences.

In fact, it’s really hard for her to let go the things that she used to do, the people she used to be with and the place that once became her nutshell.

Picture 5Coraline really stands out in her yellow raincoat and boots among the bleakness of her surroundings, perhaps an emphasis on her uniqueness as an individual. © Focus Features, 2009 In contrast, the idea of collectivism can be felt throughout Spirited Away. Many times, Chihiro is thrust into situations where she has to mingle and become unnoticeable. The first instance is when she is about to cross the bridge to the bathhouse with Haku; she is told to hold her breath so that the spirits around them do not notice her, a human.
The story of The Haunting of Hill House is a horror classic. The book and movie depict this terrifying story in vastly different ways. The movie uses cinematic techniques that a book can not portray: music, acting, and props. The book uses imagery, internal monologue, and suspense to peak fear in the readers. Movies are a different way of portraying a story, but movies aren’t always able to depict everything in the book.
During the 1920s, American society began to adopt values that threatened the traditional values that remained from the 1800s. Many of these changes were a direct result of the youth culture of the time and how their uncertainty of who they were helped contribute to these changes in values.

Murnau, is a shining example of the struggle between modern and anti-modern values that

These are examples of the “person against society” conflict, which can be considered as a characteristic of science-fiction. On the other hand, there is another significant conflict; the struggle between Cobb and himself, because of the belief that Mal’s suicide was his fault.
The movie “Sleepers” is about four young boys between the ages 13-14 who commit a serious crime by accident. In this paper I will argue why the boys should be dealt with under the Restorative Justice System, and not under the Retributive Justice System. I will also talk about how they would be dealt with under the Youth Criminal Justice Act (YCJA). The four boys are clearly very upset with themselves because they let what they thought would be just a fun prank turn into a violent crime.
Quindlen establishes her credibility by showing that she is either a mother or a teacher. Although not clear of which she is implying, she states “…in the textbooks on my children’s desks” (89). This can insinuate she has children of her own or teaches children, which validates her opinion regarding overscheduled children in America. Quindlen also shares that she is a writer which can be contributed to the free time she had as a child. “How boring it was…
