“Creepy as hell”, “The most horrifying movie of the year”, both of these things have been said about Insidious Chapter 2, by film critics in the movie industry. You see reviews like this all the time on DVD cases and previews but does Insidious Chapter 2 live up to these expectations, and is it worth seeing? Insidious Chapter 2 starts off with Elise, played by Lin Shaye, helping a young Josh, played by Patrick Wilson, who has an ability known as astral projection, which allows him to go into another world, filled with frightening and dangerous monsters, while he is sleeping. In order to save Josh from his “friend”, Elise tries to make Josh forget this ability, which worked, for a little while. After that, we jump to the events right after …show more content…
Lorraine saw a woman in a white dress, standing in the living room, and Renai saw this same woman after responding to the cries of her baby, Cali, who then proceeded to knock Renai unconscious. In the hopes of figuring out what is going on, Lorraine and Renai contact Carl, and have him contact Elise in the afterworld. Elise then tells them to look for answers at Our Lady of Angels hospital, which is where Lorraine used to work. They then go to Parker Crane’s house, an old patient of the hospital who committed suicide after trying to castrate himself. There they find a black wedding gown and some newspapers about a killer known as “the bride in black”, who murdered his victims while dressed as a woman. It is then revealed that Parker Crane was “the bride in …show more content…
I don’t think there was ever a time that I was bored and wanted to turn it off. I was completely immersed in the plot by the end of the movie. There were so many jump scares in this movie that I had nightmares for a week after it. I would recommend this movie to anyone who is looking for a good horror movie that will actually scare you. I don’t scare very easily and this movie scared me to death. I absolutely loved the movie and will probably watch it at the very least three more times. I don’t think i’ve ever enjoyed watching a movie more than I enjoyed Insidious Chapter 2. It was completely worth my time and money to watch

The story The Outsiders By S.E Hinton is said to be “timeless” because kids can relate to the characters and themes of the story. In my opinion the story The Outsiders is not timeless because kids these days can’t relate to the characters in the story The Outsiders. Kids today aren’t riding in rodeos, roll drunks, jump smaller kids, walk to a stranger's house, or get in a stranger’s car, also they get arrested at the age of 10. Saying the statement “The Outsiders is a “timeless” book “ is an invalid statement. So, Kids today often don’t relate to The Outsiders anymore in many ways.
S. E. Hinton’s argument is given from the perspective of a 14 year old Greaser named Pony boy Curtis who is being raised by his older brothers Darrel and Soda pop. The theme of the Outsiders is no matter what side you may grow up on whether you are a Greaser or a Socs, that you all can still have the same problems, see the same solutions, and dream the same dreams. You are also able to see how his character grows up and matures during the various interactions throughout this book. The two gangs in the book are the Greasers and the Socs (socials) and honestly, even after reading the book the only reason they didn’t like each other is they both had assumptions about each other that really weren’t correct.
Is it better to be an individual or conform to expectations just to fit in like others? This choice is faced by Ponyboy Curtis, the narrator, throughout S.E. Hinton’s The Outsiders. He belongs to the Greasers, a group of delinquent friends, who are viewed by many as poor and dangerous, while the rival Socs are viewed as rich, smart, and powerful causing the Greasers to envy them. Ponyboy learns from Randy Adderson, a Soc who is trapped by stereotype threat, that their lives are not as perfect as he expected it to be and they too face problems. In addition, Ponyboy tries to act tough and fit in with the rest of gang, but his Greaser companions, such as Two-Bit Matthews, teach him to embrace his own characteristics which sets him apart from
The movie is, most likely, done well enough to intrigue its intended audience. It captured the theme and story line of the book. It falls short, though, when compared to the beautiful, sensitive and contemplative prose of Natalie Babbitt. One could only hope that a viewing of the film will lead the watcher to try the book and be delighted all the more.
Loneliness and Its Opposite, My Dangerous Desires and Beggars and Choosers collectively address gender, sex, sexuality, race, class, and bodily capacity. Loneliness and Its Opposite examines the ethics of disabled persons fulfilling their erotic desires. My Dangerous Desires discusses growing up queer, in a lower class biracial familyl. Lastly, Beggars and Choosers challenges how race, gender, and class can impact one’s reproductive choice. Each category of these books define the value of a body, and unfortunatley, in today’s world, some bodies hold a higher value than others.
Black comedy discusses and integrates controversial and often taboo topics such as pain, loss, and grief providing a confronting and cathartic experience for the audience. Martin McDonagh’s ‘The Lieutenant of Inishmore’ is a play that humorously deals with the serious nature of the Irish struggle for independence. It juxtaposes the mundane with the extreme political violence, which is a common aspect of black comedy, presenting an issue in a new perspective. The act of pointless violence presented through characterisation, sharp dialogue and the symbol of the cat, is a strong mechanism for laughter. Similarly Neil Labute’s ‘The Shape of Things’ presents manipulation, superficiality and the nature of art in a humorous way. ‘The Shape of Things’
The length of the novel, the fully developed characters ,and lessons held within the story makes it a wonderful book. Alice Sebold is a gifted writer and within the first three pages of the novel, readers are hooked. They are terrified and engaged in the main character's narration and suffering. The plot is beautifully written, telling a horrifying story. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who is mature enough to read it and loves the feeling of suspens...
Each time I read The Awakening, I am drawn to the passage on page 69 where Edna and Madame Ratignolle argue about “the essential” and “the unessential.” Edna tries to explain, “I would give up the unessential; I would give my money, I would give my life for my children; but I wouldn’t give myself.” What most would see as essential—money (you need it for food, clothing, shelter, etc) and life—Edna sees as “unessential.” Edna is speaking of more than that which one needs for physical survival; she would not hesitate to give her life to save the life of one of her children. On the other hand, Edna’s being, her “self,” is something quite different from her physical form.
“Black Awakening in Capitalist America”, Robert Allen’s critical analysis of the structure of the U.S.’s capitalist system, and his views of the manner in which it exploits and feeds on the cultures, societies, and economies of less influential peoples to satiate its ever growing series of needs and base desires. From a rhetorical analysis perspective, Allen describes and supports the evidence he sees for the theory of neocolonialism, and what he sees as the black people’s place within an imperial society where the power of white influence reigns supreme. Placing the gains and losses of the black people under his magnifying glass, Allen describes how he sees the ongoing condition of black people as an inevitable occurrence in the spinning cogs of the capitalist machine.
The night Laura Wishart was found dead, Charlie changed as a person: he started to see everything in a different light, even his home life. He comes to terms with his mother; he realises that her personal issues are being taken out on him and dominating their family life. Ruth Buc...
Have you ever felt like you had to live up to an ideal that is just not in you to live up to? Have you been pressured to act a certain way because that’s what’s considered the norm? If you answered yes to these questions, fear not. Societal pressures and expectations have been around for centuries. People have been singing, writing, painting, and talking about these feelings of expectation for just as long. D.H. Lawrence’s “Snake,” and Langston Hughes’s “Theme in English B,” speak to the struggles of societies expectations. Though both poems are dissimilar in many ways, they share the common thread that the main characters are fighting what society deems to be the norm both internally and externally.
James Wan, director of Saw (2004) and The Conjuring (2013), continued his streak of horror films by bringing us horror fans Insidious: Chapter 2 (2013), the sequel to Insidious (2010). In the first film, we are introduced to the Lambert family. Dalton Lambert (Ty Simpkins), the son of Josh (Patrick Wilson) and Renai (Rose Byrne) had an accident and fell into a comatose state for three months. Medical science could not explain Dalton’s state, so Josh’s mother, Lorraine (Barbara Hershey) suggested getting help from a friend named Elise Rainer (Lin Shaye) and her two partners Specs (Leigh Whannell) and Tucker (Angus Sampson). Elise arrived to the Lambert home and automatically sensed a sinister presence. She explained to the family how Dalton is not in a coma, he was born with the ability to mentally travel to another dimension. He traveled too far this time and got trapped into a spirit world called ‘The Further’ by a red and black faced demon who intended to possess his soul. Elise informed the Lamberts that Dalton wasn’t the only one with the ability to enter ‘The Further.’ It seemed that Josh was haunted by a demon in his childhood, but his mother had Elise hypnotize him to forget. Elise declares that
The book and the movie were both very good. The book took time to explain things like setting, people’s emotions, people’s traits, and important background information. There was no time for these explanations the movie. The book, however, had parts in the beginning where some readers could become flustered.
