As the team of four cheering on “ We did it, we beat the army of skeletons.” “ We can’t be celebrating right now” Nicholas exclaimed in a urgent voice, “ Dee is liable to get up and send the army on us again, so let's get out of here!” Doing as Nicholas said, the squad went back to Scatty’s mother, “My mother can do anything with mirrors, she has a teleporting mirror that can put us anywhere we that we want” Scatty telling the group as they sprint to the old rickety house, “so I was thinking about going to Paris, because” just before she got interrupted by Nicholas “It was where I grow up, although it has been four hundred years since I’ve been there.” Scatty didn’t …show more content…

The group of three Scatty, Nicholas, and Sophie with Josh getting out of the car and following them. Scatty ran up to the door just to see that her mother was sitting on the porch knitting herself a scarf. “Mom, please let us use your teleporting mirror” Scatty said in an eager tone. “We need to hide from Dee and go to Paris.” Her mother turned back around to tell her “you're not leaving me again are you?” Scatty pondered about that question, “I won't be gone for more than fifty years” her mother shrugs and leads them to the room of mirrors. “Now don’t forget to see me within fifty years” Scatty’s mother said like it was a trade between a merchant and a king, “I won't” Satty said very quickly” her mother then walked away leaving the group of three alone still with Josh running to the rickety old house. Scatty stepping in front of the group saying “I should go first, so you can see how it works.” The two step back let Scatty do what she needed to do. Scatty started to walk forward into the mirror but as she was getting closer to the teleporter there was a glow that was surrounding her and the mirror. She soon after shode up on the other side of the mirror in what looked like a basement. After Scatty whent Nicholas, then Sophie.

In addition, fearing the experience of failure enables us to feel vulnerable but vulnerability is the birth place of innovation, creativity, and change. Failure takes a hold of most people but regularly do they see it as a chance to learn and react. They step aside from the lessons that they play and give up. But in The Alchemist “The secret of life, though, is to fall seven times and to get up eight times.” (Coelho 11)In the end he felt fully elated and feeling alive brings birth to his adventure and a path to succeeding his personal legend. In an interview with my uncle, German, he talks about the fear of failure but most of all what comes from the acceptance of fear.

Throughout the years, certain writers were able to set off a deep sympathetic resonance within readers by their usage of archetypal patterns. One of those patterns is known as the hero's journey, which Joseph Campbell gave an understandable idea of in his book The Hero with a Thousand Faces. According to his book, while comparing world's mythology, he found that no matter how far cultures are from each other, they will still have the same structure of hero's journey in their legends (Voytilla vii).
In the beginning of the novel, Alyss is characterized as stubborn, clueless, and she has the typical seven year old attitude. Alyss is very headstrong, “I won’t need any lessons,” Alyss said “I’ll just imagine that I know everything and then I will, so you won’t have to give them to me“ (Beddor 26). Instead of listening to other people who are trying to help her, she is trying to be independent. She thinks she can be independent and does not need anyone else’s help, but she is too young to know everything and not need help. Alyss is also oblivious, she has no idea what a lot of things mean, “Where did you come from?” (Beddor 34). In this scene, Alyss is talking to the kitten that conjured at her feet. She is unobservant and does not think about how situations could be bad or dangerous. Alyss is also sassy and she has her ways
All that the audience can hear at first are muffled indiscernible murmurs as it drifts through the bedroom creeping up on Sam in the dead of the night. One can make two inferences immediately based on the voice of the person on the phone and that person’s tone; one, that it is indeed Ginger, and two, that whatever she is saying and whoever she is speaking to, it was never meant for Sam’s ears. Ginger’s phone conversation is hard to make-out, and yet becomes a bit more audible as certain words and phrases (“I can’t take it, why should I take it?”) start to emerge. Sam silently opens the door to the room Ginger is in. As he stealthily walks closer, the words, “Yes I want him killed” are heard as the camera cuts over to Ginger; when Sam knows and is able to confirm what Ginger is plotting against him, the attention shifts to her. As Ace confronts her, the camera changes to a high angle that makes Ace look huge and Ginger small and almost child-like, showing their place in their relationship. Ace has power over Ginger, whereas Ginger is powerless. Does Sam proceed to drag Ginger across the bedroom when he slams her against the wall of the closet, as they argue Sam tells Ginger, “You never even loved me in the first place” while Ginger yells “Love you?

Bones Unturned. This had gave me a better grasp at what they were looking at.
In the early 1990s a man decided to explore the catacombs by himself. Carefully, he descended below the bustling city streets with only his camcorder. As he trudged on deeper into the catacombs, filming each step and moment, it was clear that he began to panic as he realizes he is utterly lost in the labyrinth of bones. Vertigo sets in. In the footage, which years later some urban explorers descended down the catacombs had found, it shows him running frantically through the tunnels. He would stop every now and then catch his breath and turn rapidly to see which way to go. While running down a wet and muddy tunnel he suddenly speeds up tremendously and throws the camera down. The footage keeps going to show his boots run off and the sound of a grunt. People swear that when they glance behind them time to time, while on tours or alone, they spot creatures of dysfunction and ghosts. While transfixed they hear voices whispering to them through the walls and footsteps creeping up behind them. Chills run up tourist’s spines like spiders. When people wander through the catacombs they don’t have to listen and watch for ghosts to whisper to them, they are in the bones themselves.
Both jack and Algernon are very complex in their own way. Jack creates an alternate identity so that can be confusing in itself. He says so himself by saying "I have always pretended I have a younger brother of the name of Earnest" he uses this 'younger brother as another identity, which also shows he is not earnest at all. However Algernon is a confusing way of thinking of thing such as the line "the truth is rarely pure and never simple." However unlike Jack from what we know Algernon is earnest as he is very suspicious of jack when he thinks jack stole the cigarette case. This makes us believe that Algernon is trustworthy or
I think Wan wanted to make Josh character’s similar to Jack Torrence from Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining. Josh flashed a menacing smile like Jacks, and in one scene of the film, Josh is in the bathroom struggling to make the voice of the demon in his head go away. The voice says “You need to kill the others, it’s the only way to stay alive.” Josh went a little insane and he started to trash the bathroom and said “Shut up, get out of here, get out of my head.” The actors did an amazing performance especially Patrick Wilson. His character, Josh, is trying to protect his family, while the part that overtook his soul doesn’t want him to at the same
