Fear Creative Writings Samples For Students

- At the age of 10 Edward Bloom met an old lady who was believed to be a witch. It is said that if you look into her glass eye, you would probably see your death. Edward was given a choice: either to see how he will die or not. “On one hand, if dying was all you thought about, it could kind of screw you up. But it could kind of help you, couldn't it? Because you'd know that everything else you can survive.” Edward has chosen the latter – he decided to know his ending. And this knowledge has totally ...

The play “Waiting for Lefty” written by Clifford Odets and the 1954 movie “On the Waterfront” revolved around social realities. The said social realities are focused on the issues faced by the workers since the 1930s to the 1950s. In the two stories, they portrayed the difficulties of forging collective actions. Waiting for Lefty for instance portrayed the internal struggles of workers in forging solidarity to wage a strike to fight for living wage and dignified working conditions. On the Waterfront on the other hand portrayed the fear-stricken workers who chose to be silent ...

Various forces are responsible for flattening. Corrupt governments contribute greatly to flattening, as they do not provide adequate public facilities and amenities for use by the public. For instance, due to corruption infrastructure may be poor as no funds are channeled to development of repair of the infrastructure. Uploading is significant in that it enhances the local so that the single national imperialism can be addressed by ensuring globalization, which is suitable for effective interaction of a nation with the surrounding nations.
Supply chains ensure that there is a distinct approach through which nations and individuals are able to operate. ...

In his short story “The Things They Carried,” Tim O’Brien uses a narrative technique of slowly revealing more information about a death that strongly affected a major character. In the first few pages of the story, the death is not even confirmed. When the narrator states, “Until he was shot, Ted Lavender carried 6 or 7 ounces of premium dope, which for him was a necessity,” the reader does not know whether the victim survived or not. In a similar way, the narrator provides details of the physical objects that the soldiers carry, but slowly adds more and more objects, each time explicitly ...

The Tell-Tales Ghost: Commentary and Evaluation

In my short film, The Tell-Tales Ghost, my vision was to portray fear with the paranormal. Paranormal activity interests me and this short film allowed me to capture my vision. In this three minute and 25 second video, I captured an evil ghost haunting a man who was in extreme fear over the ghostly encounter. This ghost was not a friendly ghost but an evil spirit. In the short film, I utilized special effects, an actor, scene setting, background noise and editing, to name a few. This essay will comment and evaluate on each scene.
The film starts off with a shot ...

The moon rises high in the sky, its silvery light creating an eerier aura, as the screams of a woman echoes through the landscape. The creature turns its head attracted by the sounds of pain and fear as it rips through the veil between the living and dead. “The night of Samhain,” it thinks, “the perfect night for escape.” As the time when the veil between the living and dead is the thinnest, Samhain is the time signally the end of lightness and the beginning of darkness. Exhausted creature slides down to the Earth, the first time it had been ...

According to Kelly, the four common elements in human disturbance are a threat, fear, anxiety, and guilt. The threat is an apprehension or fear of the firmness one’s basic constructs and beliefs of being shaken by something or someone (Devine, 2014). Fear, on the other hand, is more specific in itself and for one to experience fear requires some incident, some circumstance or a solid reason of one’s constructs being modified (Devine, 2014). Anxiety, similarly, is the experience when people cannot effectively cope with a new situation in life. A concept similar to this is pathological anxiety ...

When I saw Janet first, she seemed like any other woman in her mid-twenties. She was comfortable to talk to, only, she seemed a little quiet and pale. She worked part-time at a local grocery store. It is her story that makes her different from others. She was sexually abused by her step-dad when she was ten. I was part of the youth support service team appointed to help her out and get her life back on her track. After a couple of meetings with her, we were able to get her to communicate, and gradually her story unfolded. ...

Steven Spielberg’s seminal 1977 science fiction film Close Encounters of the Third Kind charts the effect of a mysterious and traumatic alien abduction on average American man Roy Neary (Richard Dreyfuss) on both his psyche and his relationship with his family. In Jodi Dean’s essay “Fugitive Alien Truth,” the UFO abductee phenomenon is examined through a sociological and political lens, illuminating many social aspects of the cultural phenomenon of the abductee that are present in Close Encounters. As Roy’s sense of self and identity begins to shift gradually away from his family, and he struggles to ...

With a Gin Vermouth in her hand, Harper sat down at the kitchen table. She took a sip, and licked the rim of the glass, eyeing the two Valium pills on the table. The lingering aftertaste of love-making was soon washed away, as she heard a voice behind her. “Not letting go deforms you, and the truth sets us free. Joe is gone, Harper. You should be gone, too.” She recognized the voice being her own, she recognized the thought being a product of her own mind.
“I am crazy,” she thought and a tear came flickering down her face. “I am crazy, ...

Imperialism is the domination by a stronger group of a weaker group’s territory, customs, values, laws and institution (Hobson 44). The imperialists change the way of life of the conquered people to an extent that the conquered lose almost every aspect of their indigenous way of life. The people mostly associated with this concept are the western Europeans and especially the British. Imperialism has been seen to have far more negative effects on both the conquered and the imperialists. This has been demonstrated by George Orwell’s essays. George Orwell was an imperial police man in Burma.
His writings ...

The Eloi in H.G. Wells' The Time Machine

The Eloi are one of two races of people the Time Traveler encounters on his arrival to to the future. They are “a group of figures clad in rich soft robes” (Wells 20). They are graceful with a gentle and frail beauty who surround the Traveler and his machine in their first encounter. Their non-threatening nature which lacks aggression inspires a confidence in the Traveler as he faces the new people without fear. The Traveler gives the reader some perspective into his view of Eloi people. While the Traveler is revealed ...

Definition of Human Trafficking

There are many definitions of human trafficking; one of the best ones is given by the Department of Homeland Services: “Human trafficking is a modern-day form of slavery involving the illegal trade of people for exploitation or commercial gain” (DHS, 2015).

- According to estimates, human trafficking tens of billions of dollars for traffickers per year
- After the crime of drug trafficking, human trafficking is the second most profitable type of transnational criminal activity.
- Human trafficking mostly end up remaining hidden, and ...

Contemporary Leadership

Over the years, decades and even centuries the relationships those humans develop with each other and with the external environment have become much more complicated. It is not a secret that social, economic and business scenes demand stronger focus on the ability to deal with diversity and differences that individuals, as well as groups, demonstrate. The role of leader in human groups was always essential, from the times, where tribes were struggling for survival, facing the nature, to the contemporary business environment, where companies are facing a challenge of working in an international and highly competitive environment. The truth ...

Introduction

In the late 1920s, the U.S. economy was strong. Many companies were growing and earning money. People bought shares of the companies, called stock. The stocks were traded and bought in the Stock Market.
On October 24, 1929, stock values dropped or became worthless rapidly. This started the most severe economic depression in U.S. history—the Great Depression. Today, that day is still remembered as Black Thursday.

In the late 1920s, prices in the stock market soared up, becoming very valuable. For example, in 1928, the price of a common share of the Dupont stock went from $310 to $ ...

Bryce: After a year of applying, interviewing, jumping through all the hoops, I finally realized nothing I did mattered. I just couldn’t take another rejection. The bottom line is, no one wants me.

Bryce: I guess I’m not feeling much of anything.

Bryce: No. It’s okay. I’ve just felt too hopeless to talk to anyone.
One example of an obstacle to communicating emotions in the situation is fear (Karalus, 2014). Bryce fears what the future holds because of his employment status or the lack thereof. He also fears that his friend Todd might mock him for still not having a job after six months. Another ...

Part 1

The Heavy Craft by Page is written using symbolical language which carries a message with a deep message. He starts with the statement that the wax has melted but the dream of flight still persists. One might wonder how a dream of flight might be connected with wax. Wax is used to join two parts to help two parts become stronger. However, in this case, the wax has melted which seems to suggest that he feels that his flight dream is under threat. The theme of this poem is no losing hope no matter what happens. In the poem to a friend whose ...

In recent debate, there have been questions raised as to whether the juvenile justice system is too lenient, allowing juvenile offenders to repeat grave criminal offenses and get away with them, citing little to no parental guidance. Some individuals, and institutions alike, have been advocating for the instituting of dramatic measures such as the revocation of parental rights, removal of children from the home, and even forced sterilization of parents convicted of felony abuse or neglect. However, I do not believe such measures would work to mitigate and/or eradicate cases of juvenile delinquency.

While dramatic and stringent measures may ...

1) Discuss some of the mythic and ritual elements, and the logical, rhetorical, and ethical aspects of Oedipus the King. Think about how Oedipus proposes to purge the city of the murder-pollution, the key arguments between Oedipus, Tiresius, and Creon, and the arguments Oedipus made to himself and acted upon to defeat the prophecy, the rhetorical device of irony that permeates the play, and the ethics of everyone's actions, the family members and others involved in the tragedy.

According to the traditional interpretations of classical drama, Oedipus the King was brought down by the gods or fate because ...

Story 1) As the cat rode in the car, she was full of questions- where was she going? What was this new home going to be like? Would she get the same food? Would she make friends? She meowed and meowed asking these questions, but no one seemed to answer. Finally, the car came to a stop. This was the moment all those questions would be answered. As the door opened and her crate was lifted, the cat shivered with fear. What was waiting on the other side of that door?
Immediately, her crate door was bombarded by a large, ...

OPENING IMAGE – Shot of a rainy cityscape at night; a clock strikes midnight. Joey Amana walks out of the back door of an underground casino, hurriedly and with a stifled expression of panic in his face. He holds a briefcase, and stumbles toward a car on the far side of a parking lot.

Immigration policy during this quarter

Give me an overview of the progress between the Congress and the President concerning immigration policy during this quarter. Explain how Democrats and Republicans reached their policies based on the philosophies of the two parties (what are the main positions within each party and do these positions match the traditional philosophy of that party)? Explain how the party positions were impacted by interest groups in support of each policy (name and describe one interest group on each side of the issue) and voters in support of each policy (in other words, do both parties think they can gain ...

In the book of Ecclesiastes, the author, often called “the Teacher” discusses the results of his life’s pursuit of both worldly success and wisdom. Through his discussion, he expresses the need to temper one’s life with the goal of the afterlife in mind. In this sense, the Teacher is attempting to express his understanding of how a good life can be achieved. By doing so, he is able to communicate the expectancy that he believes people should have of their worldly and otherworldly pursuits.
In the outset of the first verse, the Teacher discusses the idea of ...

Research

- Why did Jim feel it necessary to analyze reflective material produced by students rather than just interview final-year students in his research
There are two perspectives which compelled Jim to use the effective material that the students produced. One perspective involves the limitations that are attributed to the survey data, which may jeopardize the clear information needed for proper understanding the relationship between the Work-Based Learning students and the application of such placement experience during their final year. It is imperative to note that, the process of collecting, sampling and analyzing data involves a lot of aspects which ...

Tuk. Tuk. Tuk. The sound of the watchman beating his stick on the pavement fell upon Neal’s ears. The sound stirred his sleep. He thought as if his own heart was pounding. Was he getting a heart attack? The sound became louder and he was scared stiff. He was perspiring. He pushed off the blanket. The sound became louder. It was followed by a shrill whistle. It was faint at first, but slowly became louder and louder. When he heard the whistle, he realized that the sound was made by the watchman, beating his stick as he made his rounds. ...

In this paperwork, I am going to define the following terms; intraorganizational conflict, interorganizational conflict, and conflict management- giving examples of these terms. I will also discuss the limits to conflict management relative to the criminal justice organization.
Intraorganizational conflict is defined as a type of conflict caused by the structural composition and allocation of authority in an organization. Vertical conflict, role conflict, line-staff conflict, and horizontal conflict are examples of the intra organizational conflict. Vertical conflict may arise, whereby, individuals working in the same organizational, but in a different hierarchy may have some disagreement, hence affecting the productivity of ...

The vision of the author here is magnificent. He has admittedly created the atmosphere where machines are developing their own conscience, and are no longer under the control of men. The comparison of the lights of the machine with dog’s red eyes in the photographs is vital and dark. The mankind has no other choice but to pray and wish that the machines turn out to be forgiving. The purpose of the creation of these machines is unknown as the creator is long gone. Now, the rest of them have nothing but the fear and absolutely panic in ...

We often hear organizational statements coming from various companies that assert that employees are their most valuable resource or the engine of their operations. For aligning employees with the organizational plans and with firms’ business objectives, managers need to motivate them towards achieving various organizational goals. However, within an organization there are different individuals, with distinct personalities and various personal and professional needs. In this context a curiosity arises: how do managers succeed in motivating their employees?
There can be applied various motivational theories for trying to identify an answer for this curiosity: Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, Theory ...

The discriminatory practices of the male folk of the society are not new. Abuse and violence is a way of establishing the supremacy over the opposite sex. Even in the age of advancement where several feminist movements have dared to challenge the very roots of the patriarchal society, domestic abuse is one the greatest impediments for the female who are being constantly battered by the insensitivity and chauvinism of their male counterparts.
New York is a city where many women face the peril of domestic violence. Statistics show that in the year 2012, 68 percent of the total number of ...

Throughout the centuries, there has existed varying individuals with different sexual orientation. As in the nature of human beings, we always end up hating or fearing what we fail to understand. The individuals with a different sexual orientation than the ‘norm’ have come be hated and discriminated. The discrimination was severe in the earlier days, and individuals with a different sexual orientation would be severely punished. However, unknown to humanity, some of the sexual acts they term as bizarre has been in the existence ere humanity’s discovery. For example, in the animal kingdom, Hyenas are known to engage in acts ...

Questions on Meaning
- What seems to have prompted Chavez’s essay? How can you tell?
What prompted Chavez’s essay is concerning the presence of “nearly 12 million illegal immigrants.” There is also the growing fear illegal immigrants “will never fully adapt” in the US. I can tell this when Chavez 73% of the children of half of these illegal immigrant households became US citizens. The common assumption to illegal immigrants is that they will remain poor, uneducated, etc. However, Chavez pointed out that this form of stereotyping is erroneous. She cited statistics that says illegal ...

___ March 2013

Predicting the future may seem farfetched, but in this case, we can risk it. In a general sense, I have a strong vision that the criminal justice system of the United States will be a pragmatic and proactive one by the time 2033 strikes. I envision a criminal justice system that espouses positive values and can adeptly handle problems through creative, forward-looking and sustainable solutions. Around this time, our criminal justice system will have already learned from the error of its ways and will do its best to keep Americans safe and protected.
In 2033, I see an empowered criminal ...

Abstract

OPEC is an international cartel aimed at securing interests of the oil producing countries by restricting the oil production levels. The market structure of a cartel is similar to an oligopoly, the only difference being collusion between the dominant players. The paper attempts to understand these market structures, their welfare benefits and how the firms respond in certain situations. Game theory explains the incentive for firms to cheat in a cartel. The future strategy for OPEC is suggested based on synthesis of these concepts. It includes maintaining an active dialogue, designing a detailed disincentive plan and innovation.

Keywords: collusion, cartel, OPEC, oligopoly, ...

Question 1

Oppositional readings are a strategy being adopted by individuals who feel the media sometimes provides them with what they do not require. This is usually revealed through criticism of some authors and even movies ‘fans take found footage from television texts and edit them to construct their own videos which comment sometimes with irony’ (Jenkins, 1989, pg 550). Authors and directors who form part of oppositional analysts go a head to write books and even shoot movies to discourage the audience against such literature. A clear example is the movie titled I hate vampires. The movie is a production of people who ...

It’s been a long time since I could show up from my shelter. I am so hungry, but I don’t want to go out. I think that the air here is still cleaner, than outside and it is cooler in here. I have to take care of my baby, which is why even greater responsibility lies on my shoulders and I have to defend it from all the harmful things we have here. Actually, our old wolves used to tell us a story about the life that our ancestors enjoyed. To tell you the truth, I don’t believe ...

1. "Politics is the art of postponing decisions until they are no longer relevant."

The general public considers politicians people of no, or of very little scruples, who have risen to power not for the amelioration of their fellow countrymen, but for their own miserly purposes. The newspapers and other media are abundant with examples of corrupt politicians, pocketing the amounts of money that will go undetected by the control, and purchasing huge villas, newest models of cars and traveling to destinations mere mortals can only dream of. In reality, they are merely taking advantage of the gullible masses ...

Photography is a form of art that shows the artist’s perspective in a snapshot. Photographers capture a moment in time in order to portray emotion and convey a particular message. Political photos serve as a detailed and informative example of this form of expression. Not only do they show us history in time, but they also preserve memories of the event, lest history cloud perceptions of how wars are waged. In the case of the Vietnam War, political photography was used by many pioneering photographers as a weapon, showing the horrors of the war on both foreign and domestic soil. Political photography proved to ...
