gives us a certain distance from Craven and this is much like real life as we always feel a certain distance from mad people mostly because we are not mad ourselves. In the first paragraph we are given the impression that he is a solitary, lonely character. We know this because when we meet him it is 'only just after lighting-up time' and this is the time when it just starting to get dark and most people are just about to go out for a good time.

Ethos, Pathos and Nuclear Energy Something always curious and provoking happens in science writing. Gwyneth Cravens is an author of five novels and many publications, and one who studies a topic in great detail. She creates an enormous work about nuclear energy for the last decade.

horror movies that stick out. Scream, directed by Wes Craven, is one of them. Wes Craven is always toying with the viewer's fears. Always finding ways to scare the audience at every turn. He also plays with the viewer's head, and has them second guessing themselves. How does he do it? Well, as one of the characters in the movie exclaims, "There's a formula to it.
