Comparison Of 1984 And Halloween Night
The year was 1984 and Halloween night. There was three boys, Tommy, Joey, and Bill. After a long night of trick or treating and receiving a million full size candy bars they get a dare. The dare is to enter the most feared and scary house in the neighborhood. The town was a small town with only a few neighborhoods and a couple schools.

The house was very rundown as it lost all its color and every plant and tree is dead. There is often shadows seen and noises heard from an old man and even screams from children. Apparently the house used to be and still can be a science lab where sick and terrible tests would take place. There is a mutant monkey in the house which serves as the old man's slave. The house is the only one in the mysterious cul-de-sac and is like an old castle

All three boys we’re dared to enter the house for a bucket of candy. All three of them were skeptical of the dare because the stories they have heard from that house. All of their palms were sweaty and arms were heavy with nerves. “Is it worth the candy?” The boys thought. The girl, Amy, who was

The positions were making a whistling noise. Bill decides it is now or never for Joey and attempts to untie him from the chair but as he is loosening the last knot the mutant creature hears him. He makes a growl and throws his special potion at the two boys and knocking them out. Tommy is the only one left and unseen.

    Movies like Halloween (1978), Frozen, and 300 says much more than what many viewers really understand about what the author or creator is trying to say about the actors and/or maybe himself . Going more into the films, listening to the words and looking closer to the actions of the characters one can see the truth that is hidden in plain sight. ''300" should be a heterosexual movie, but it is clearly not due to the actions of the men in Sparta. Women in Halloween and Frozen are seen as strong individuals in times when they are expected to be weak.…

    Is it inhumane to arrest and convict a person of terrible crimes, even if it is not yet committed, if it is certain that it will be? Utopia is an imaginary place in which everything is perfect; in comparison, dystopia is an imaginary state in which the condition of life is extremely bad as from deprivation, oppression, or terror. George Orwell’s 1984 (1949), is a novel based on life in a dystopian setting, with a totalitarian government centered on war and hatred. Steven Spielberg’s Minority Report (2002) is a film in a futuristic setting with a system which predicts future murders so that citizens live a homicide-free utopian life. Winston Smith is the main character in 1984. His rebelious views on his society and government cause his arrest for ‘thoughtcrime,’ for which he is brainwashed until he complies to his society’s views. In Minority Report, John Anderton (Tom Cruise) begins by completely trusting the system which allegedly predicts murders before they happen. In fact, Anderton is an officer of precrime himself, and is responsible for figuring out the specific details of the murders. However, when it is revealed in the film that Anderton will murder a man he has not even met, he tries to fight the system to prove his innocence. The idea that power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely is the central message of both 1984 and Minority Report. This is because technology is used to enforce power, it is purported to be infallible, and the result of the misuse of power is corruption.…

The interest can span through movies and novels which both deliver results in different ways. Horrors and thrillers also affect our bodies while watching, though also differently. The reasons of why we like to be scared continue to be studied, but a few theories have emerged that are all partially accepted.

    An Abandoned House

    • 340 Words
    • 2 Pages

    It was a hot, summer's day as I walked on the dirt road with only silence along my side. As I continued on the road I discovered it led to an old abandoned house. I couldn't help but stop for a few minutes and look at the details of the huge, strange shaped house. I noticed that it had been a long time since anybody even took a look at the house. The old house was left to die, alone, with no one to care. The paint was peeling, the windows were broken and the shingles had been torn from the roof, probably by past storms. What caught my eye was that the unkempt yard, it looked like it hadn’t been cut since the house was abandoned, the grass was almost my height and there was nothing but weeds everywhere. I imagined this house would’ve probably been huge and gorgeous in its days. It had three full stories. The fourth floor had an attic where you could sit and see the sunset on the horizon. The house also had a huge porch with large white columns making a fence to support the balcony. The columns were full of dirt; they looked less white and more brownish-black. As I slowly continued to walk past the house, I could hear the wind whistling through the broken windows. I could see the leftovers of the curtains moving gently in the breeze and the grass swishing left and right in the wind. As I was giving the house a final look I thought I saw a silhouette of somebody beside the window gazing upon me so I started to walk a little bit faster. As I walked I wondered how much longer this house could stand up to the rain and wind before it surrendered itself to nature or would people destroy it and replace it. Maybe it would just be left alone there and would continue standing quietly with its dark, window eyes begging for mercy.…
