Have you ever, coincidentally, walked passed somebody with deep, open cuts on his/her wrist and wondered what happened? Maybe, you thought it was a simple, harmless scratch caused by obnoxious pets at home. Or maybe, you considered it as mild accidents, preferably caused by doing arts and crafts at home or school. But, have you ever pondered thoroughly and have the idea that those sad scarring were actually made by him/herself? Creating scars on your skin is actually the action of self-harm; the
The percent of people self-harming themselves in the world is increasing tremendously. Research provided by “Dr. Paul Moran of King’s College London, Institute of Psychiatry and George C. Patton, professor at the Center for Adolescent Health at the Murdoch Children's Research Institute in Melbourne, Australia” (Willingham), found out of 1,802 adolescents, eight percent of the adolescents were cutting, ten percent were girls, and 6 percent were boys. Age 15 to 24 year old girls are the ones that are

In my closet I have many different shades that I wear, but they mainly consist of both bright and dark blues, faded blacks and a certain colour that’s a soft orange. All are things that can look nice if worn
My mind flashes back to the beautiful summer’s day, the leaves a bright green and the air warm with moisture. Waiting impatiently for Gabriel, Ruby and Elliot to hurry up. Puffing my chest out with pride when Grandma entrusted me to take them to the lake. Running elatedly into the woods, the air around us charged with the carefree spirits of four, eight-year-olds. I remember the way Gabe’s blonde hair stuck up, and how Ruby’s bright smile lit up her face. Most of all though, I remember Elliot, panting
explored with the film Run Lola Run directed by Tom Tykwer who employs vivid viscereal imagery to demonstrate basic elements of human nature, the film demonstrate the features of human naure, a similar approach also displayed within the artwork “The Scream” by artist Edvard Munch. Both composers use their mediums as a way of reaching out into the world, the themes they chose are not only relevant to themselves but also to the wider audience, in using images they have conveyed their message in away that
sewing needle. I tuck my forest-green hood over my strawberry-red hair, shivering against the freezing breeze. My brother, John, tosses more chopped-up wood into the fire, which shoots up and becomes brighter and warmer. I start to relax as the heat seeps into my chilled bones, loosening all my tense muscles. But it only lasts for a second before I hear a thundering crack in the forest behind me. I whip my head around and see a pair of bright yellow eyes staring at me with hunger. I shriek and whisper
Tension and Suspense in The Red Room by H.G. Wells In H.G Wells’ The Red Room tension and suspense are created through the characters, the plot and the setting. The setting is typical of Gothic and Victorian ghost stories. In these times there was no electricity so use of candles for light created an eerie atmosphere. They had no modern technology like televisions for entertainment so they used books and story telling. Also people in Victorians times were less educated than we were now so
When I stepped out of the hot, airless plane into the bright, dazzling sunlight beaming down across the burning concreate, I felt excited and nervous. Holding my beach bag in my hand and slipping my Ray Ban sunglasses on with my other, I flip-flopped down the airspace. Overhead I heard the screams of gulls and the chatter of the small fluffy birds. I suddenly realized I had arrived to Hawaii. This trip was such an unforgettable vacation for me because I got to witness the beauty of nature that Hawaii
book titled The Unquiet Grave lying open on the floor by the unmade bed suggesting something is left unresolved. The scattered photos and papers by the bedside cause redintegration. The picture of Medusa’s head screaming on the headboard is a silent scream filled with anger and pain, yet it cannot be heard. I feel as if I am in the one sitting in the chair and I can feel the anger, and regret. Self Portrait with Gorilla and Wolf, Joan Brown, enamel on masonite panel As I turned away from The Doll

continuously in a mesmerising chant. My brain struggling to process the many horrors these people have encountered. As the sun slowly rose above the many rows of tents at basecamp; migrants began venturing outside, in search of donated food and water. The screams of babies crying fused together with the early morning birds sing song cultivate a strange sound that echoed all through out the camp.
This can be seen when Dunbar writes, “When the sun is bright on the upland slopes; when the wind stirs soft through the springing grass, and the river flows like a stream of glass; when the faint perfume from its chalice steals I know what the caged bird feels!” (Dunbar, 2/7). Taking this into consideration
fasts paced movie run Lola run in which it was entirely shot on scene and not in a studio. Berlin is a metropolitan city as we see, but most of the time it's not as crowded as we think. As we see the director emphasis on Manny calling Lola from the red pay phone to let her know that he lost the money on the train. In the movie run Lola run one of the most important scene is on the third take which takes place in the streets of Berlin, there are many more streets more scenes from the street of Berlin
the children met the man with red eyes. On page 61 it says, “Meg stared at the man in horrified fascination. His eyes were bright and had a reddish glow. Above his head was a light, and it glowed in the same manner as the eyes, pulsing, throbbing, in steady rhythm” this occured in CENTRAL central intelligence, where everything is exactly the same at all times, which nods towards Camazotz’s theme of conformity. However, in the movie the children meet the man with the red eyes on the beach, and at the

Don’t look at people like him.” The child was pulled away by his mother and the two quickly disappeared into the crowd. “……” My head began pounding as I tried to figure out what was going on. ‘The last thing I remember….

down her cheeks, “Please lead me home!” Agnes was a free spirited child. She was just over five feet tall with a slender appearance. Her auburn hair and silky bright yellow sundress flowed in the summer breeze that made the thick green leaves on the trees sway in the wind. Her eyes were a deep olive green and she had freckles all over rosy red cheeks. Agnes followed the bird farther as it led her to a river. A ten foot wide gap of raging, wild

night when the park closes, the Cemetery would mysteriously open its gates whenever the clock hits nine. At that time, a storm of clouds cast a dark shadow on the Cemetery. A dimly lit shade of red coming from the moon would also cast itself onto the clouds and area as a whole. When the clock hits ten, screams of the dead can be heard coming from each individual grave stone. The ground will also begin to heat it, as the pavement’s boiling grounds are reminiscent of the fiery pits of hell. Suddenly as
Her scarlet red coat bled into the embrace of white. Olive skin peeked from beneath the sleeves, revealing an exhausted woman. She wrapped her hands around her slim frame to preserve as much heat as she could from the endless biting wind. Her veined hands were cracked;
poured out. The bright shimmering green, once characterized as beautiful, looked sickly as it spewed out of her. As her senses returned she realized she couldn't feel her legs. She squinted to see in the darkness. Her legs had been twisted and broken, and were facing an awkward angle. It made her ill to look at them. She focused on the rest of the room. The once great halls were drenched in blood, trickling down the walls and forming large pools on the floor. The room, once bright, was bathed in shadows
