Scattered Screams Analysis
For fans of The Walking Dead, The 5th Wave series, and 28 Days Later, Scattered Screams is a diverse take on post-apocalyptic thrillers…

Their cross-country college visit was supposed to be a bonding experience between Marcus and son, Ali.

Then, the Disruption triggered.

Marcus, Ali, and Vic (Ali’s best friend) would have never imagined the sunny summer afternoon on campus would turn into the fight for their lives.

Now the world is split into two parts: before and after the Disruption.

The new world is akin to a war zone. But a war zone with no clear sides.

Allies and foes might be one in the same as everyone attempts to survive.

Marcus’s quest to return home to New York City with Ali and Vic before the new disrupted world

    Everyday there is somebody fighting a war, be it with themselves or with outside forces. Wars can be started over even the smallest things such a jealousy or huge things like the pursuit of freedom. In a Separate Peace by John Knowles, we are shown a theme of war and rivalry. The theme is shown throughout the story in many ways, such as; Lepers was with himself over his insecurities and fears, Finny and Genes constant competition, Genes internal war with his actions, and Brinker Hadley’s internal war that creates the hostility that he pushes onto everyone else.…

    The Movie Gangs of New York, released in 2002, gives insight into the violence, corruption, and disarray that occurred in The Five Points of Manhattan during the 19th century, and reveals one of the biggest skeletons in New York’s closet. Martin Scorsese’s translation of the events in the film proves to be very intriguing, and for the most part accurate. However, there are a few aspects of the film he did not correctly portray: the timing of events, and the scale of the events that occurred.…

    Before studying the novel “All quiet on the western front” our team, just like everybody, thought of the German side as an Evil one and that the Allied Forces were righteous. But now as we think about this, it doesn’t matter .War can affect almost every aspect of society. It can change the way we think about others or the rights of others. It can shape prejudices or right injustices. There is no right side or the wrong side.…

    Within stone and steel complexes, millions of incarcerated individuals rot. Across seas and borders, wars are fought. These two seemingly opposite parts of civilization might just provide the answer for one another. Both topics involve the vile side of humanity and the idea brought about might be considered as vile as the two combined. Because in fact, that is exactly what an idea such as this involves. The unholy marriage of criminals and warfare is an idea thought about in Hollywood movies and comic books. Yet, these demented forms of entertainment bring up an interesting point. When faced with a declaration of war, we should as a society provide the scum of society…

    1984 War Is Peace Analysis

    • 1115 Words
    • 5 Pages

    War is Peace is an interesting concept to think about. This concept would have the reader believe that a continuous war, as is happening in the novel, would not only maintain peace, but if the war is continuous, then the people know nothing of peace, and therefore, the war is likened to peace. In Oceania, the people cannot exist without a war, because the war gives the people something to bond together to fight against. Additionally, if the idea of doublethink is applied to the situation, the citizens accept both ideas that, Oceania is a war, and Oceania is at peace. The people can switch back and forth from both ideals, which would cause a dramatic shift in emotion, causing the surrender of the very emotions of the people to the…

    What is the first thing you think of when modern art is declared? Random paints scattered on a blank canvas? While this is a picture-perfect example of modern art, there is more to it than just random paintings: the artist has a goal. Wherever man exists, there is art, because art is anything made or done by man that affects or moves us so that we feel and see beauty. Man uses his mind to discover a unique beauty in which the artist sees his feelings and inspiration effects on how he will express his art.…

    I agree with the introductory quote by Will Durant: “From Barbarism to civilization requires a century; from civilization to barbarism needs but a day.” It is always much easier to destroy something (in this case, civilization), than it is to create it. In general, there is very little effort required to demolish something; but building it up takes a conscious effort, passion and burden. It involves a great deal of work! It is, therefore, very easy to understand how civilization can be destroyed in a day. Simply sit back and do absolutely nothing, save watch the walls topple, so to speak.…

    Each country has invaded the other country. The Allies have lost 700 million people, soldiers and civilian alike. The Eastern Powers have lost 1.1 billion people. More than a quarter of the world’s population has been killed. Neither side can come to an agreement on how to end the fighting. With no end in sight, many are predicting that 50% of the world’s population will be gone within the next two years, if the fighting stays the same or gets worse.…
