"Yay, I'm going to have a poster! I'm going to have a poster!" screamed my cousin, Alison, into my ear. My grandma, Alison, and I were at Wal-Mart, on our way to buy her a poster to hang in her bedroom. She had recently become attached to a video game called, "Five Nights at Freddy's." For reasons unknown, the posters advertising the game were available temporarily at Wal-Mart. "Honey, we are almost there. Why don't you and Satomi run ahead of Grandma, and each of you can pick out ‘Four Nights at Fanny's' posters," said Grandma. "I want to check if they put out those darling little earrings yet." "Grandma, it’s, ‘Five Nights at Freddy's!' I told you a thousand times!" Alison shrieked. "Okay, Alison! Grandma has other important stuff to do…" I said, dragging her towards the posters. As soon as we stopped in front of the posters, the lights turned off. …show more content…
I’m scared… What’s happening?” questioned Alison hastily. “I don’t know, Ali. I’m scared too. Let’s just go find Grandma and get out of here!” I yelled, terrified. Then, we heard a bang. Turning around in circles, we tried to find its source. Suddenly, we heard a child-like laugh. “Satomi. I think that was Balloon Boy,” she breathed. I had told Alison all about Five Nights at Freddy’s, as I was a fan of it, too. We had gone on Youtube to hear the animatronics’ voices and to see their jumpscares. That didn’t stop us from being scared, though. “I don’t think so, Alison. I told you before, none of those animatronics are real,” I
In the passages Freddy in Peril part 1 and 2 by Dietlof Reiche, it was about a crazy doctor named professor Fleischkopf trying to get the hamster named Freddy. In the passage in paragh 3 Freddy told the readers of the passages that he was ¨IN mortal danger.¨ Then later in the passage you could tell that he was in mortal danger and that we knew that Freddy was a hamster you could tell that professor Fleischkopf was at the top of the stairs. Then not that far in the passage it say ¨Two things happened first, I heard someone insert something in the lock; and second, a smell hit me.
A voiceover asks the characters, “What are some of your most memorable experiences as kids?” A father-daughter duo is interviewed first. The daughter says, “My dad would always take me down to the creek and we’d look at the fish in the pond. As soon as I finished my homework.” Next, one woman who is with her sister responds, “My sisters and I would play hide and seek. Mom would always yell at us for drudging mud into the house afterwards.” These characters use a casual and friendly tone of voice that is familiar with the target audience. A parent telling a child to finish their homework before play, the drudging of mud into the house, spotting fish in the local creek—these images are all too familiar to the western audience and generation of parents. Their stories evoke a sense of longing and return to the past when many individuals are becoming increasingly uncertain aboutthe future. A stark contrast is presented with the child playing on the ipad. The relaxing background music abruptly stops as he candidly states, “I play on my ipad. I think I play games on it for three hours a day. Sometimes more.” The purpose of using a small child for a scene that portrays video games in a negative light (as opposed to an older individual) is due to the fact that a child’s concerns is rarely deemed “offensive” to others. Ultimately it’s the children that can provide
“’Fire! I see a fire! I see a fire!’ There was a moment of panic. Who had screamed? It was
In the first chapter of Fun Home: A Family Tragicomic, a graphic novel by Alison Bechdel, the author uses an intriguing combination of pictures and words to draw her readers through the story with many surprising twists and turns similar to the way a carnival fun house lures in curious adventurers . As the author first introduces her father to the story, one would believe him to be a loving and engaging father. However, once Bechdel begins comparing their playful exchange with the “Icarian Games” (pg. 379) and noting his distraction to the game because of his concern with

The first movie poster was thought to be designed by Jules Cheret in 1890 for an independent short film (“Movie Poster Art- A Short History”). Before the 1900s, movie posters only contained typed wording that broadcasted the movie title, the producer, and the director (“Movie Poster Art- A Short History”). Over the years, movie posters have noticeably progressed into something much more significant. On nearly every movie poster, an image is presented giving one a slight understanding of what the movie may be about. The posters also typically includes prominent cast members. Since the initial poster, it has advanced into a brief foretaste of the movie. In today’s society, a movie poster can arouse something inside a potential viewer that makes

“Not if you don’t know it isn’t real, it isn’t yuk.” Orson sighed but continued. “The funny thing to this day is…my brothers didn’t care once they found out it was me.”
“The Yellow Wallpaper:” a Symbol for Women As the narrator presents a dangerous and startling view into the world of depression, Charlotte Perkins Gilman introduces a completely revitalized way of storytelling using the classic elements of fiction. Gilman’s “The Yellow Wallpaper” combines a multitude of story elements that cannot be replicated. Her vast use of adjectives and horrifying descriptions of the wallpaper bring together a story that is both frightening and intensely well told. Using the story’s few characters and remote setting, Charlotte Perkins Gilman presents the wallpaper as both a representation of the narrator and the story’s theme, as well as a symbol for her descent into the abyss of insanity. As the story opens, the suspiciously unnamed narrator and her husband, John, temporarily move into a new home (226).
The thunder and lightning were getting bigger and bigger in the sky. He heard a window crash underneath him and saw kids running around on the wet concrete. “Get back into your houses and stay there until this is all over. I don’t want anybody to get hurt.”
All day, Booger and Lint have been hearing weird noises coming from the floor. Not knowing what it was, they just ignored it thinking it was a minor earthquake. The first time they heard the weird noise was when they were at the gas station getting some milk, everyone ran franticly in shock and fear. But it seemed to stop so they went out to dinner.
Movie posters are a way to grab people’s attention and a way to make profit. Some posters are funny, some romantic, mysterious, terrifying, or informing. No two movie posters are the same. Grabbing someone’s attention with a poster can be tricky. The colors, scenery, words, actors, together will see what makes a person want to attend a movie. “The Blood of the Vampire”is the poster that I chose to describe.
Bang! Crack! Screech! Pop! These are the sounds that interrupted me from playing with my cousin. My mind raced to see what exactly had happened. I run out of the house and to the courtyard. My cousins want me to come back in, they said zombies were walking the streets and that the government sent troops to kill them. I denied it, so I ran out to the street to see what happened. My heart pounded and my stomach grew anxious as the aroma of bacon and engine oil filled the air. As I grew closer to the scene, men shed blood from their eyes alike the woman. As I walked closer and cut through the crowd, a cold and simple wind had ripped the thoughts out of my head. It was a grieving mother over her son's body. His body fresh and mutilated from the crash. Shattered ribs and guts exposed. His head had exploded and his

Kroshone sighs as he cleans the counters. He hoped this will be good enough for Vincent unlike his original master, Toji, it seemed like Vincent either had higher expectations or just despised him. Kroshone really couldn't tell which one it was.
