The orchestral piece, He’s a Pirate by Hans Zimmer and Klaus Badelt is the main theme from the movie Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl. This song was performed David Garrett, who is a professional musician.

without characters. Characters are used to tell us the story and get messages across to the audience, but how are characters constructed? In lemony Snicket's a series of unfortunate events, violet is constructed to be an emotionally strong inventor, Klaus is constructed to be a bookish intelligent teenager with intelligence well beyond his age, sunny is constructed to be a baby who loves to bite things whose name shows her intelligence and count Olaf is constructed to be a self-centred, evil man that
Snow White jumped off the cliff, and plunged into the waters below, trying to escape the evil queen's huntsmen once again. That is one example of one that would do unspeakable things in order to survive. Everyone knows the classic tale of Snow White, but Once Upon A Time puts twists on every tale you thought you knew. In the tv show Once Upon A Time, all fairy tales are twisted into a new form, and one of the strongest relationships between the show's most famous villain, and the one fairy tale
In the 1950’s, the Soviet Union gained information on the atomic bomb with the help of two Americans. The couple, Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, suffered greatly for their crime. The Rosenbergs, having committed a crime of espionage on the US, had a large impact on not only the nation, but the world. This was due to their historical execution. Julius Rosenberg was born on May 12, 1918, in New York City (Petersen 1). Julius grew up in poverty on the lower east side of New York. He was the youngest

Hope is a four letter word that sounds simple to the ear, and even pleasing, as one might say. As simple as it seems, there exist a complexity behind this four letter word, a complexity that is best explained by Vaclav Havel. He once wrote, “Hope is a state of mind, not of the world. Hope, in this deep and powerful sense, is not the same as joy that things are going well, or willingness to invest in enterprise that are obviously leading for success, but rather an ability to work for something because
of the Cold War. To illustrate the ideas this essay proposes, it will first give a clear and factual overview of the Rosenberg Case. It all began even before the Rosenbergs came into the picture, namely with the arrest and confession of soviet spy Klaus Fuchs in 1950. This namely led to the investigation of his courier, Harry Gold, and then David Greenglass, Ethel Rosenberg's brother. Greenglass cooperated and named Julius Rosenberg as a fellow spy, claiming that he provided Julius with documents

I choose to represent A Series of Unfortunate Events because I found it interesting. I have seen the movie but never read the book before so I wanted to see what is it about, and I was completely amazed because the book is different from any other book I have read. It is written in easy-to-read language and almost every potentially new word is explained through the conversations. Events are weird and sometimes confusing, and everything is different and hard to explain but that is why people like
submarine just for a sugar bowl. You also know this because many characters, such as Captain Widdershins, Count Olaf and Quigley Quagmire say that this object is too important and secretive to reveal its purpose. The climax of this book is when Violet Klaus and Sunny are walking to the taxi parting with Mr. Poe. This is the climax of the book because this was the highest point of interest and appeal. The author, Lemony Snicket, uses details and delays the end to an extent where you become very anxious

Even though there is some evidence of the Rosenbergs' guilt, numerous facts which were discovered after

The world has people that come in many different shapes and sizes. We have a variety of ethnicities, religions, and statuses. Rich people, poor people... what do they all have in common? They have a life, plain and simple. A life full of loved ones, loved things, loved places. But are they happy? Are most people satisfied with what they have in life? In this world there is pain and happiness, and you do not always get to choose what your lot is going to become. In The Rescue Artist by Edward Dolnick

This is the main motif that represents Captain Jack Sparrow. Zimmer and Badelt maintain the harmony through these chords but withal engender a facetious emotion so that it has a frolicsome ring to it. When Jack sets foot on the dock, his famous motif is played and it gives him a more regaling and
