Undertale is an old style RPG game created by Toby Fox. This game is based on what path you choose to follow from the beginning to the end of your journey. A majority of the game contains hilarious jokes, and other parts contain a large amount of enjoyable character coming from everyone involved in the game. Each little part of the game contains some hint to the storyline. Even the things that a player can normally do such as save or reset the game, impacts the storyline that the player gets to experience. For example, if the player were to kill everything in its path on a genocide run, and decide to reset the game and try a passive route, they still wouldn't get the true passive ending. This is because although the characters that were killed …show more content…
are alive, some of the characters somehow remember what has happened, making it impossible for the player to experience the true passive ending. When you start the game, it gives you some back history on what has happened.
Years ago, there was a war between humans and monsters. The monsters raised from beneath attempting to attack the humans. But, the humans were prepared. Many monsters perished, and not a single human soul was consumed. Every remaining monster was forced into the underground which was sealed by a wizard's spell, creating the barrier. It was told that only a monster soul along with a humans can cross the barrier. But, seven human souls and a monster soul could break the barrier. The monsters were loosing hope, and their king Asgore Dreemour, wanted to help in any way that he could. So, Asgore asked the royal scientist to create something that would allow a monster soul to persist after death. The royal scientist or Alphys, created an unstable formula which she called "determination". Alphys asked the people for monsters who have fallen down in order to test this determination. In theory, the formula was supposed to kill the monsters and let their souls be consumed, or taken in by another monster. However, that is not what happened. The formula was injected into the fallen monsters, and their bodies began to melt together, demolishing their souls. This created multiple mindless, and soulless
monsters. After the tragedy, Alphys attempted to use determination on inanimate objects. More specifically, a flower. Alphys had asked King Asgore for one of his golden flowers from the garden that his son Asriel Dreemour, had passed in. King Asgore had agreed to give Alphys a flower to test the determination. Amazingly, determination was able to bring the flower to life. The flower itself however, had Asriel's brain and memories, but no soul. This is where your unfortunate story begins. As so you think. On your journey, you will meet many characters. Toriel is the overprotective goat-mom (tu-toriel tutorial). Sans is the lazy, skeleton, joke teller that is secretly smarter than the others (comic sans). Papyrus is the spaghetti lover, yet conceded brother of Sans who dreams of being in the royal guard (yes, the papyrus the font). Undyne is the captain of the royal guard (she's also a fish/human). Alphys is the royal scientist that is very insecure (she also looks like a Simpson character). Mettaton, otherwise known as M.T. is a robot star, out to sell her own brand (she was also created by Alphys to hunt down humans but she didn't fulfill the purpose). Flowey is the real monster in the passive route, so I think the game would make an exception if you killed him ("In this world, it's kill or be killed"). Asgore is the "almighty" king, and by that I mean the underground loves him despite how much has happened while he's been in command (he can go a bit overboard). Chara, well, isn't that who you've been all along? (Congratulations passive route, you've found someone worse than Flowey). W.D. Gaster is, well, who is that? (Some help with that would be nice Toby). There are many other characters, but no one has enough time for that.
In society, there have always been different roles in defining the boundaries between right and wrong; Monsters take a big part of that role. In Jeffrey Cohen’s “Monster Culture,” Cohen explains seven theses which provide a clearer explanation of how monsters take a part in establishing these boundaries. The oldest Anglo-Saxon story written- “Beowulf”- provides three different monsters which all connect to Cohen’s seven theses. In the older version, however, the monsters do not relate to humans in any way, except that they are enemies. The modern version of Beowulf portrays Grendel’s mother to still be evil but also have relations with the humans in the story.
In most stories we enjoy, may it be from childhood or something more recent there is many times a theme that shows a clear hero and a clear villain. But ordinarily this is not the case in real life, there are few times that this is quite that simple. There are many sides to each story, and sometimes people turn a blind eye to, or ignore the opposing side’s argument. But if we look at both sides of a situation in the stories we can more clearly understand what is going on, moreover the villains in the book or play would seem more real, instead of a horrible person being evil for no reason, these two people have their own agenda may it be a ruthless vengeance or misplaced trust.
Often, when a story is told, it follows the events of the protagonist. It is told in a way that justifies the reasons and emotions behind the protagonist actions and reactions. While listening to the story being cited, one tends to forget about the other side of the story, about the antagonist motivations, about all the reasons that justify the antagonist actions.
The Great Depression of the 1930’s caused widespread poverty, but the popular culture of the time did not reflect this. People wanted to escape from this harsh time so movies, dancing and sports became very popular. Radios broadcasted boxing matches and boxers became stars. The heavyweight champion James J. Braddock aka “Cinderella Man,” gained popularity. James Braddock gained fame by winning many fights and proving everyone wrong when they said he was too old and couldn’t win.
the end result is the demise of all the main characters. ?It is clear that the theme of

In Flannery O’Connor’s short story “A Good Man is Hard to Find” the author uses foreshadowing to lead up to the unexpected twist of fate that the family finds when meeting the story’s antagonist “The Misfit.” As columnist in English Language Notes David Piwinski explains, “The murders of the grandmother and her family by the Misfit come as no surprise to the attentive reader, since O’Connor’s story is filled with incidents and details that ominously foreshadow the family’s catastrophic fate” (73). The following passage will explore O’Connor’s usage of foreshadowing in “A Good Man is Hard to Find.”
In the movie A Beautiful Mind, the description of schizophrenia is shown in many accurate ways. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) states that the symptoms of this disease are delusions, hallucinations, disorganized speech, or unorganized or catatonic behavior. People with schizophrenia are also socially withdrawn and awkward when in contact with other people. These traits of the sickness are shown in detail throughout the movie by way of the character John Nash’s struggle with the disease. Nash is a very intelligent professor but believes he is working with the government to foil a Soviet attack plot. Nash eventually goes onto win a Nobel Prize for one of his theories. The movie shows the effects of schizophrenia on not only one man, but also on the friends and family of the ill individual. Treatment is discussed but not to any great length due to him ignoring the doctor’s orders on medication. Overall the movie shows some very prevalent traits of the disease in great detail during certain parts of the film.
In “The Fish” by Elizabeth Bishop, the narrator attempts to understand the relationship between humans and nature and finds herself concluding that they are intertwined due to humans’ underlying need to take away from nature, whether through the act of poetic imagination or through the exploitation and contamination of nature. Bishop’s view of nature changes from one where it is an unknown, mysterious, and fearful presence that is antagonistic, to one that characterizes nature as being resilient when faced against harm and often victimized by people. Mary Oliver’s poem also titled “The Fish” offers a response to Bishop’s idea that people are harming nature, by providing another reason as to why people are harming nature, which is due to how people are unable to view nature as something that exists and goes beyond the purpose of serving human needs and offers a different interpretation of the relationship between man and nature. Oliver believes that nature serves as subsidence for humans, both physically and spiritually. Unlike Bishop who finds peace through understanding her role in nature’s plight and acceptance at the merging between the natural and human worlds, Oliver finds that through the literal act of consuming nature can she obtain a form of empowerment that allows her to become one with nature.
While I was reading the novel Beloved, I noticed several testimonies throughout the book, one of them being equality. The novel tells a tragic story about slavery and it is often pointed out that the color of one’s skin determines how he or she will be treated throughout life. The slaves in the book are in constant battle to survive among the white men; however, survival is not always the best things for the slaves.
Our current society is not capable of turning into one similar to Gilead. Gilead is an unstable time period, for what was known to be the United States of America. There are several reasons why our society today cannot be one like Gilead. The people of Gilead do many acts that violate the Bill of Rights, which our society respects highly. The United States Constitution is also violated in the novel, The Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret Atwood.
Forensic science plays a vital role in the criminal justice system by aiding an investigator’s case with scientific information based on the analysis of the evidence. Each crime scene is unique in its own way and using the evidence collected, forensic experts try to piece it together. An expert is someone who has had enough education, training, and experience to testify to the matter at hand (Harmon 2010). Unlike other witnesses in a case who testify based on first hand knowledge, the expert witness is not required to have firsthand knowledge of a particular case, and in fact, often does not. Rather, the expert witness testifies to the meaning of the facts (Whitcomb et al. 2005). Each forensic expert typically has a background in another scientific discipline, such as biology, physics, chemistry, etc. An expert with a biology background may work with DNA; chemistry may work in toxicology; and physics in blood spatter trajectories. Working separately on their own respected evidence, an investigator is able to collect all their data and set up a case (National Institute of Justice 2013). Usually, these experts will be hired by either the prosecution or defense in a criminal trial, or by a plaintiff or defendant in a civil litigation. The role of the expert witness exists in variants: between criminal and civil courts as well as the prosecution and defense.
Alice in Wonderland (AIWS) also known as Todd Syndrome is a disease that affects the brain, it causes the senses to be interfered with and everything seems different. Alice in Wonderland syndrome is caused by migraines and too much electricity in the body(Discovery Fit and Health Writers, WHAT IS ALICE IN WONDERLAND SYNDROME?, howstuffworks.com). John Todd named the disease after the book Alice in Wonderland written in 1865 by Lewis Carroll. Some experts say that Lewis Carroll had Alice in Wonderland Syndrome. The book is said to represent the symptoms that Carroll was experiencing while having the hallucinations. In the book Carroll makes Alice drink and eat some food and she grows larger than normal and shrinks smaller than the drink she was drinking(Betty, Alice in Wonderland Syndrome, bbc.com).
Since the first sign of the human civilization until now, human had invented many great inventions to support their daily lives. The invention of the human become more modern and complex day by day, at the time period before Common Era, human used cave as houses, and manipulated rocks to be their weapons to hunt, thus, at that time, rock was one of the very important thing to the human civilization. Human, then, knew how to create fire and use it to cook food. As time moved on, human finally reach the agricultural era, which they found out how to grow crop and harvest them for food or trading purpose. Nearest to the present, the world experienced the industrial era, which brings the living conditions of the civilization to a whole
Imagination is a word that applies to everyone. It remains a part of everyone’s life throughout childhood and adulthood. An imagination has no boundaries, and every individual’s imagination is one-of-a-kind. Imagination makes the dull perspective of life fun and entertaining. Its degree of influence on people and its uniqueness make imagination a particularly fascinating word, and this is why I was interested to delve deeper into the history and evolution of its definition. Initially, the first phrases that come to mind are “using your imagination” and “having a big imagination.” To me, these phrases mean forming new ideas by thinking creatively and having a big capacity for creative thinking. When I think of the word itself, I consider it to refer to the unique thoughts and fantasies that can lead to coming up with stories, uncommon inventions, and new ideas or concepts.
