Anthony Perkins as Norman Bates in Psycho, and Glenn Close as Alex Forrest in Fatal Attraction, each played the character portrayed as mentally unstable. The two actors seamlessly fell into their parts and led the audience to believe they were truly insane. In the beginning, each of the two lived what appeared to be normal lives. Anthony Perkins managed his mother’s motel that had become a ghost-town after the new highway had been build, which completely cut off access to the motel. Glenn Close on the other hand sacrificed her opportunity to create a family for her career, and dedicated a great deal of time into becoming an established working female. Norman and Alex had been introduced as hard working individuals, and it was difficult to assume their roles would take such a drastic turn. Their ability to play such a part, however, is unquestionable. The first appearance of Perkin’s character, Norman, took quite a while in the film Psycho. Initially Norman was a bit peculiar, but could have been viewed as overly happy, or…

I quickly shove the paper into my pocket and sprint in search of that blue box which is so much bigger on the inside.

I begin to slow down to further take note of my new location but once I look up I notice something different and quite strange.…

be done in the second paper I included. I chose to include my second paper, and it was titled “Vladek’s Memories turned to Artie’s Post Memories.” We were assigned this paper to analyze Maus, but we were given many different angles of interpretation to choose from. I chose to close read and understand memory and postmemory and how the two affect each other. In the beginning, it was hard for me to close read and be specific. I was troubled as to how I needed to provide the evidence and tie all my…

discover Greenwald’s personal interests as the author states it out right, discussing these matters and his beliefs of their importance outright. Glenn’s beliefs are echoed in the words of Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis when Greenwald quoted a statement in a case where Brandeis remarked that “the right to be left alone is the most comprehensive of rights, and the right most valued by a free people”16 this essentially summed up what appears to be Greenwald’s core view of Snowden’s case.…

This is why they are known to be the "fathers of modern aviation." Thanks to the Wright brother, World War I was the first major conflict that airplanes were used on a large scale. At the beginning of the war, planes were very basic. The very first powered flight was back in 1903 when the Wright brother flew their own design. The first crossing of the English Channel was in 1909 by Louis Bleriot. (History.com) So it is safe to say that in 1914, airplanes were still very crude. It was not until…
