The world has changed drastically after Maelstrom. With Aquaman now regarded as an Atlantean fugitive, we are entering into a very different world. The foundation of the first 40 books of this Aquaman title, more or less, deals with Curry's journey towards being accepted by his people and reclaiming his throne. In this new era of the DCU, 'Deep Dark Secrets' hints that the remainder of this series will tackle vastly different storylines. Even though the story lacks much in a proper flow, the story is able to captivate and immerse you into the catastrophic event that prompted Arthur's departure from Atlantis.
One of the first things that should immediately catch your attention would be the change in the style of the artwork. McCarthy's more cartoonish depiction of the characters did invoke some hesitance in reading this arc primarily because Pelletier had done such an amazing job in crafting a realistic atmosphere for the character during his run. That said, after the first couple of books, the storyline more than makes up for this unsatisfying art. Bunn manages to craft a

While these types of twists aren't particularly surprising especially for a comic book, Siren tricking Arthur into having sex blows it right out of the water! Never in a million years would I have thought that an Aquaman series would deal with such an adult-themed topic such as rape - and a relatively touchy one at that. Even though this can be construed as inappropriate for a comic book, I believe that this is a signal that DC Comics is progressing and not shying away from dealing with darker matters. Like the DCEU, it seems that the DCU is progressing to a more mature direction.
'Deep Dark Secrets' exceeds all expectations in terms of its story but falls short in terms of the artwork. All in all, this arc is an incredible arc that sets the advances the tone of the

Throughout the graphic novel, Bruce hides his true sexuality by taking on a false identity for people to
The first thing that can be said about the movie is that it skips a lot of small and big scenes that help to further explain the plot. If someone were to watch the movie first and then read the book, they would find themselves with a whole another story then in the book then what they get from the movie. For example, the movie starts in the second paragraph of the book, just sk...
Although I liked the flow of action in this novel, a large number of superfluous characters are introduced in the first part of the book that never get fully fleshed out. Some of the characters more integral to the story also seemed a little shallow in their presentation.
The movie was incredible. THe foreshadowing that was happening throughout the movie absolutely made it interesting. All of the character's emotion truly stood out in each scene. The setting was very spooky and magical, especially the forest. Even though the movie was incredible, the text educated us more. The text educated us in various of ways. It was in modern text which made it easy to understand. Reading along with the text helped us follow and keep track of the characters. We are able to reread
Starting the book is about the most painful thing (almost as painful as a head on collision with a semi on the highway.) Never the less once the characters become more apparent, and a type of plot is reveled, things get more interesting. It doesn’t take to long to get into the book, and learn something interesting about the characters. All of them have something in common which is a brilliant way to bring all of them together. Addie is the mother of the Bundren family and wife to Anse. She is on her deathbed, and the characters all revolve around this each reacting in a different way. Darl is the most level headed about the situation (at first), Jewel is more horse, Dewey is rather devastated, Anus is rather insensitive, and so on.
There's a lot in this compact book; it's not light on plot, development or world building. Conclusion packs a punch and I can't wait to see where it leads. I loved the character progression all around. I'm really curious to explore this world more and discover how our characters fare. Sure, I could see certain things coming, like their love story, but I wasn't itching with irritation because pacing was great. I was enjoying the picturesque flowing ride.
The thing I liked least about this book was the lengthiness and wordiness of it. It was very round-about in getting to the point or conclusion of the topic. It had a lot of extra information that I felt wasn’t necessary or just didn’t really have a place in the chapter. I also found some subtopics much less interesting than others.
William Golding observes that there are “conditions in which cruelty seems to flourish, which is different from saying that is has clear causes. What are these conditions? Chaos is one, fear is another”. All the characters do their actions from the condition of fear because of the chaotic ambiance they are surrounded in. In William Golding's Lord of the Flies and Alfred Hitchcock's Lifeboat humans are put to the test when they are stranded in life threatening situations with no authorization or guidance. In both stories they start off by supporting and guiding one another to survive. But as time ranged on the civilized manner turned into something violent and vicious. Both stories show that being civilized doesn't last long before everyones claws come out. Being stranded and knowing there is an absence of authority, they will try and take power even if that means acting like savages. In order to do what they need to accomplish their goal of survival people will have a desire to kill, claim power, and __________.
I found the book to be easy, exciting reading because the story line was very realistic and easily relatable. This book flowed for me to a point when, at times, it was difficult to put down. Several scenes pleasantly caught me off guard and some were extremely hilarious, namely, the visit to Martha Oldcrow. I found myself really fond of the char...

The books were full of edgy, scary grit that had the power to infect every facet of the mind – causing plenty of darkness laced paranoia and sleepless nights. But, that was half the fun (at least it seems that way now). From zombies, mummy’s and talking dummies, the seemingly endless array of villainy was enough – one story
Explore the characters. Are they believable and round, or flat and one-dimensional? Does the major character ( the protagonist) change? What causes the change?
Summary: In the quiet town of Malgudi, in the 1930's, there lived Savitri and her husband, Ramani. They lived with their three children, Babu, Kamala, and Sumati. Savitri was raised with certain traditional values that came into internal conflict when she took Ramani, a modern executive, as her husband. Savitri has endured a lot of humiliations from her temperamental husband and she always puts up with his many tantrums. To find solace and escapism, she takes refuge in 'the dark room', a musty, unlit, storeroom in the house. But when Ramani takes on a beautiful new employer, Savitri finds out that her husband has more than a professional interest in the woman. So, at first, she tries to retreat to her dark room. But she realises that hiding in there won't help. So she tries to leave the house. She stayed with a friend in another village. But after staying there for some time, she can't help but think of her husband and their children. What would happen to them? After doing a lot of thinking, she finally decides to go back home. In the end, Ramani has finally stopped seeing Shanta Bai, the other woman, and I guess you could say it's a happy ending. It's now up to you to go and guess the rest. Savitri is very much real. She is basically quite like most people. They treat problems like that. They find ways to escape it. Like booze, drugs, suicide, etc. In Servitor¡¯s case, she stays in the dark room, and finally, leaves her family. As I was reading "The Dark Room¡±, I felt compassion towards Savitri. I can clearly see that she was a confused woman. It was depicted through the first part of the story wherein her son was ill and she told Babu, her son, not to go to school that day. But Ramani intruded upon them and said that Babu has to go to school and that his illness is merely a headache. Savitri didn't know what to do then. She was concerned for Babu¡¯s health, but at the same time, she didn't want to argue with Ramani. In the end, Babu had gone off to school. As for Ramani, I felt like shouting at him while reading the novel because of his bullying.
