...The values attributed to appearance, such as having mummy-like skin, lead people to judge others before they even get the chance to know them. This is seen in Frankenstein through the characterization of the man that Frankenstein created. The man that Frankenstein creates has the best intentions of becoming friends with a family that he observes for months but the man asks, “Who can describe their horror and consternation on beholding me? Agatha fainted; Safie, unable to attend to her friend, rushed out of the cottage. Felix darted forward, and with supernatural force tore me from his father…” (96-97). The man is not a monster at the core but because he looks like a monster physically that is how the family treats him, all except for the father of Felix who cannot see and perceives the man the gentle intentions of the man. In this case the societal values placed on appearance creates a monster out of the creation of Frankenstein despite his pure desires. The tendency of humans to judge appearance before intentions hampers the ability of society to create an educated judgement of the being in which it is dealing...

...overview, followed by a little bit about the author, and then explain how this type of popular fiction fits with other literature in the same genre. Comic books of yesterday and today have introduced a lot of new and interesting characters. The character that I selected to right about is the Incredible Hulk. The Incredible Hulk was introduced to the world in a comic book back in 1962. This character, Bruce Banner, was a scientist that was working with atomic weapons when an atomic bomb went off and exposed him to an enormous amount of gamma radiation. When he was exposed to the radiation, it turned him into a savage and extremely strong animal of a human being. Normally when Mr. Banner becomes enraged the Incredible Hulk is exposed and only when the Incredible Hulk calms down does he turn back into Bruce Banner. Although the Hulk's color has varied just a bit over the time that he has existed, the majority of the time he is the favorable and most popular green color. Whenever Bruce Banner turns into the Incredible Hulk, he is then capable of immense strength, minus the brains. Strong emotions such as anger, terror and grief are also triggers for forcing Banner's transformation into the Hulk. When Bruce was a child growing up, his father physically and mentally abused his mother. This developed into Bruce’s split personality that he tried to hide way from the rest of the world. In most of the movies, the Hulk can be seen being chased by the U.S armed forces and other special...

...Frederick Hammond Ms.Alchorn English 111 13th February 2011 Crime & Punishment In The Victorian Era The stripping of a person’s freedom has been used since ancient times as a punishment. However, until the late eighteenth century ( Victorian era) in England, it was unusual for guilty people to be imprisoned for long terms. Hanging and transportation (deportation) were the main punishments for serious offences. Prisons served as lock- ups for debtors and holding cells were the accused were kept before trial. However, by the Victorian era, prison had become an acceptable punishment for serious offenders and it was also seen as a means to prevent crime. It had become the primary form of punishment for a wide range of offences from stealing bread to adultery. As towns grew to cities and villages grew to towns the crime level increased dramatically in England, citizens became more and more worried about how criminals could be kept under control. There was also public unease at the number of people being hung. By the 1830’s, many areas in Australia were refusing to be the dumping-ground’ for Britain’s criminals. There were more criminals than could be transported. The answer to this problem was to reform the police and to build more prisons: 90 prisons were built or added all across Britain between 1842 and 1877. This was a massive building program, costing the crown millions of pounds. By the mid Victorian period, there were two distinct prison systems in England. There...

...Yu 1 Yue Yu (Jasmine) Kat Gonso ENGW 1102 October 5, 2013 The audience of this review should be those people who like watching science fiction movie or fans of super heroes. My intended publication would be online blog, which is special prepared for sci-fi movies and TV shows, such as the blog Atomic Anxiety on website WordPress, and so on. Review of the Avengers: Numerous Figures but Distinct Characters Recently, a new TV series was released, called The Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. As a loyal fan of science fiction movies and S.H.I.E.L.D, how can I miss these episodes! However, it is really a pity that there are only few episodes right now, I have to be patient to wait for the next story. And I am sure that most fans would be like me to wait for next episodes. So, in order to make waiting time more interesting, I would like to introduce a movie, which also happened in S.H.I.E.L.D, and fans would like it. It is called Avengers. Unlike normal agents using high technology to solve various troubles in TV series The Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D, super heroes in the movie Avengers uses their own abilities to protect their homeland. It is true that the TV series looks more like a reality, but I think superpower makes a science fiction movie more fantasy and mysterious. So, there is no doubt that when it first showed on screen, it received a warm welcome in a large amount of fans. The poster of the Avengers Yu 2 For me, the movie attract me most is that many of audiences’ familiar heroes would...

...it a point of pride to diverge from the grim severity popularized in the DC / Warner Bros Batman films. The lightness is fun but it doesn't offer much of a foundation on which to build an epic. And let's face it, there's more than a whiff of opportunism about a project that pits a defrosted World War II hero, Captain America (Chris Evans), an inventor-industrialist, Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.), the pagan lightning god, Thor (Chris Hemsworth), a scientist with anger-management issues, Hulk (Mark Ruffalo), and SHIELD agents Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) and Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner) against the Norse god of mischief, Loki (Tom Hiddleston) and a legion of marauding aliens. In 3-D. Meet the boss of 'The Avengers' Chris Hemsworth is 'Thor' Chatting with the 'Iron Man 2' cast Still, Whedon (who shares a screenplay credit with Zak Penn) is a very sharp operator. He knows which buttons to press and where there's room for a little diversion. The improbability of this misfit coalition becomes the movie's most rewarding asset. Imagine the bristling egos of so many power players cooped up...

Just like my visit to Meijer, this paper will not only look at the surface of the cereal aisle and my box of cereal, but also delve into the meaning behind their fronts and how the box I chose is marketed. The box I chose, “Kellogg’s Avengers: Age of Ultron Sweetened Cereal with Marshmallows”, is marketed at Meijer to children through character appeal, which displays ethos as its strongest rhetorical appeal. Throughout this paper I will show you how I came to this conclusion. The cereal aisle in Meijer is located in the middle of the center section of the store with the oatmeal, granola bars, fruit snacks, and candy across from the cereal. The cereal was set up so that you have the bags of the off-brand cereal in a section, then...

...The characters are a group of super heroes with unique powers. They often disagree and tend to get into fights as Iron Man, Captain America and Thor have gotten into several fights. Hulk is a very unique character as he has formed into the Avengers not-so secret weapon. He has embraced the role of being a huge green monster and now is a very valuable member of the team, although surprising twists have been added to the film to make sure Hulk doesn't get out of control.

With Ultrons power increasing by the minute, Romanoff will have to confront the demons of her shadowy past to gain strength from her fellow heroes to help defeat Ultron. Thor, the Asgardian God of thunder returns to earth as the sworn protector. Thor serves as the compass for the heroes as he continues his mission to find his brother’s secret ally.

...The ¨it¨ that hurts It´s that it hurts by Tomás Rivera throughout the story the main character describes something that hurts. While there are many different ways to interpret this the one that stands out to me the most is how he is afraid his father will be disappointed. For example on page 24 line 185-188 he states that what hurt him the most is that now he won't be able to become a telephone operator like his dad wants him to. There are many ways to interpret this with one being that race is an issue, while that is definitely true he doesn't describe it as the ¨it¨ in the story, yes the racism clearly hurts the character but it seems to not faze him anymore because on page __ line ___ he is told by someone that they dislike mexicans because they steal and he just replies with ¨Yes¨ the entire time he doesn't lash out or say anything but ¨Yes¨. Another interpretation is that he got hit in the ear, yes that would hurt but it wouldn't hurt all the way though his walk home for example he states on page __ line ___ if he did get expelled he would just come to the graveyard which has to be a lot further from home and school to not be...
