*************************
A hit was put out on Taylor and Zavala by leaders of the Mexican drug cartel because they were becoming a nuisance. This hit was carried out by the same Latino gang members who had previously done a drive-by shooting of a rival gang. The officers were enticed towards their imminent deaths with a car chase which was set up by the Latino gang members. This chase led them towards an apartment complex which was rigged with many gang members and artillery to ensure that neither Taylor nor Zavala would survive. The two were ambushed but decided that gunning their way out was their best option. When the officers made it to an alley they were met by another Latino gang member who fired at Taylor and Zavala, hitting Taylor once in the chest before being shot and killed by Zavala. Zavala went to aid Taylor who appeared to be quickly dying and called out for help. Before police back up arrived the original Latino gang members found Zavala in the...

Many stories are derived from stories from the past. Walt Disney’s popular movie, The Lion King, is based on the play Hamlet by William Shakespeare. This is just one out of many things that are from the past that appears in novels and films today. Mary Shelley’s novel Frankenstein is a novel about a mad scientist who wants to make an immense discovery as said by Brett Weiss, “The Frankenstein monster first lumbered into existence in 1818 in Mary Shelley's classic novel Frankenstein; Or, The Modern Prometheus, a work that many have called the first science-fiction story.” (Weiss, Brett). Well, this mad scientist, Victor Frankenstein, eventually makes his discovery: the secret of life. He ultimately creates a monster out of body parts he dug from graves, strikes the sewn up corpse with lightning and the monster is created. Yet, instead of being overjoyed about his creation and discovery, he is bitterly disappointed about what he has done and abandons the creature. After this, the creature murders all of Victor’s family and friends to get revenge and the monster eventually kills Dr. Frankenstein and commits suicide. On the other hand, the story of Prometheus, the man who discovered fire and wanted to show his discovery to the other humans, but the God Zeus says no, but Prometheus does it anyways and is ultimately punished by getting his heart eaten out by an eagle for an eternity. Yet, the funny thing is that even though Prometheus is in excruciating pain, he still screams at Zeus that he would do it again. Victor and the monster from Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein are both like Prometheus, and Victor ultimately rises as the hero in the novel.
The camera then goes to 50 Cent in the driveway with his car, a place where he is in control. Back inside he enters a room to see a women seemingly enticing him into bed with her. She is seen as in control of the situation as 50 Cent does not much more than lie in bed.
John Edgar Wideman’s, “Our Time”, tells the story of how his brother’s mistakes have caused Robby lots of trouble. Many questions have roamed through my head about Robby, John’s brother, and why he turned out the way he was. Why did Robby have to turn out to be the rebel in the family? Could it have been his home town, his family, or his friends? Those are the questions. I feel like it may have been the “ghetto”, Homewood, that influenced him.
To continue the sequence of shots where Detective Milton died from a brutal end, is a great example of Hitchcock observant of the camera. He capitalizes on the shock the audience had of the previous scene, by scaring the viewers with another unexpected murder. Moving on, we see Arbogast holding his breath, and heard what could be person making sounds from upstairs but

This is Hoyt’s ticket out of here, explaining to the men that earlier in the day he had saved her from being raped single-handedly, Alonzo standing close by lighting a cigarette. Later that night Alonzo is murdered by the Russian mafia because Hoyt tips them off as to where he is going, again the criminal taken down in street justice.
The parallel between Alicia’s dependence on Devlin and Alex’s on his mother is prominent in the final scene. The scene takes place on the grand staircase of Alex’s mansion. Influenced by German Expressionism, stairs serve an integral role in this and subsequent films. Alicia, propped up by Devlin, and Alex, shadowed by his over-bearing mother, all descend the grand staircase in the mansion under the eyes of the Nazi party. Outside of the house, Alicia and Devlin make their escape to freedom while Alex reluctantly returns up the stairs to his fate with the Nazis. Ending the film on the stairs attests to Hitchcock’s style.
July 22, 1975, was a turning point in the career of Boston Herald photographer Stanley Foreman. Foreman was finishing up a usual day of city photography when he got a call about a fire. The fire was located in an older part of town. There was word that people may be trapped inside the building. Foreman followed fire trucks to the scene. On a hunch he went around to the back of the row houses. There he saw firefighter Bob O’Neil trying to save two people trapped on the fifth floor fire escape. A 2-year-old girl and her 19-year-old godmother were holding on the fire escape waiting to be rescued. Foreman set himself into a position to capture pictures of what he expected to be a routine rescue. But to his surprise there was a loud noise that changed all of that. The fire escape gave way before O’Neil could save the girl and her godmother. O’Neil was just a moment away from saving the two girls. Foreman caught this event through the lens of his 135 mm lens. He shot four photos of the two falling, than turned away before they hit the ground. The godmother, Diana Bryant, broke the fall of the young girl, Tiare Jones, but lost her own life a couple of hours later, Tiare survived. Forman learned that Bryant had died a few hours after developing and turning in his photos to the newspaper. With Bryant now dead he was unsure whether the newspaper would run the photos. But the next morning at 2:00am he saw the first morning edition with his photo almost covering the whole front page. And the rest of his photos were on Page 3. Foreman then went ahead and made a set of prints for the Associated Press by 4:00am. And his photos were seen worldwide by the very next day. The releases of the photos lead to many cities improving the inspection and ma...
The film starts with the shot of the courthouse from outside and slowly going inside the building to a room where a trial for an 19-year-old slum
It was about one-thirty in the morning in the town of Homestead Michigan. The almost florescent light of the moon bouncing off the fresh puddles that covered the ground. The grass and trees were covered in a thin layer of water causing every little beam of light to reflect back up. Anyone who may have been outside at this time would have without double, smelled the mix of fresh dirt and night crawlers. As the moonlight started to fade away through the cloud cover, three buses made there way through the streets and parked in front of HHS, the local high school.
There was a girl named Kandy, she was 15 years old. Her life was extremely boring, all she ever did was go to school, go on her computer, eat and sleep. She spent all summer on her computer. She was really good with HTML and spent her free time making web sites. Kandy didn't have many friends and rarely talked to guys because she was shy and unconfident about her looks. That's why she went into chat rooms. She made a web site with pictures of herself on it and told people in chat rooms to go there. A lot of people would tell her how pretty she was and some would say she was ugly. That made her feel awful. When anyone would say anything nice to her, she wouldn't believe them and think that they were just making fun of her. She only had one real friend that she could talk to, her name was Ang.
