A long time ago, far far away was a little village called Icelandic. The little village was an excruciatingly hot town, ruled by the powerful Goddess Rox. The villagers would be in pain from the vibrant heat, but wouldn’t complain for their queen would punish the courageous soul. The villagers would try to leave, but always ended up back in their homes, and have or find some reason to stay in the boiling town until death. One day, a villager tired of being scared, a young woman of the name…

Definition of a hero A definition of a hero is someone who is concerned about other people's well-being, and will go out of his or her way to help them -- even if there is no chance of a reward. That person who helps others simply because it should or must be done, and because it is the right thing to do, is indeed without a doubt, a real superhero.” Stan Lee, Cyberspacers Heroes are people that care about your safety and only about your safety.

“A person’s a person, no matter how small.” The hero I chose was Dr. Seuss, though his name was actually Theodor (Ted) Geisel. He wrote 44 children's books in his lifetime, was quite the entertainer, and changed our way of reading. I chose Theodor Geisel as my hero because he has given the art of reading to the world, and even though he had a hard life, that didn’t stop him. People say he was spectacular in many ways, though after researching him, I’m not so sure if he’s really much of a hero.…

Another play that deals with the theme of taking power and control over a situation is David Mamet’s Oleana. Indeed, the play’s three scenes depict the course of John’s downfall and describe the trajectory of Carol’s rise to strength. From the very beginning, we understand that Carol has come to John because she is failing his class and wants help. John, at first, tries to dismiss her, as it: “was not a previously scheduled meeting” and he “wishes [he] had the time” (13). Carol repeatedly tells…

people claiming to know who the killer was and “Arthur Leigh Allen was a popular candidate for the Zodiac killer, having been identified as Hartnell and Mageau as their attacker.” However DNA evidence did not link Allen to any of the crimes. In 2007 David Fincher released “Zodiac” a movie made about the Zodiac killer. This is, once again, glorifying serial killers. In the United States alone “Zodiac” has grossed over 33 million dollars. Any serial killer would be at the peak of their demented…
