Mortal instruments

Who says superheroes don't exist? Shadowhunters are amazingly hot hottie mic hotties that are great at saving and protecting the mundane world. By reading the series's and seeing it in a motion picture, you feel nice like sugar and spice. The film War Horse holds several themes, but the one that shines through the most is how war touches the lives of people beyond the front lines. By following Joey as he switches handlers throughout the film, you are able to see how people are affected on different sides of the war, and those who aren't even involved directly. For example, two German brothers who joined the army abandon their posts to return home, and run away on Joey and another horse.

    On Monday the 21st of September I went to see the play ‘War Horse’ at the New London Theatre. The play was directed by Marianne Elliot and Tom Morris and is written about the novel ‘War Horse’ by Michael Morpurgo. The play is about a horse, Joey. He is sold to the English cavalry and is shipped off to France were we serves in WW1. His owner, Albert desperate not to lose Joey, enlists in the army despite the fact that he is under aged. Albert embarks on a treacherous journey on a quest to find Joey. The play is based upon the horse’s perspectives and views. War Horse is trying to emphasis the strong brutality of war, and what a waste it is. There were many themes in the play e.g. the play is trying to show the barbarity of war, and the futility of it. This is shown when the innocent horses are put against machinery knowing that they have no hope of surviving. As is shown in the first charge scene when the horses and soldiers all get brutally killed by a single machine gun. The themes also show how peoples are turned to misery as they are worries about their loved one, e.g. Albert and Emily are going through are hard time because of the war, Albert is very distressed about losing Joey, and Emily is upset about losing her two horses at the front line.…

The upside of this is the viewer can comprehend the challenges and mentality of the character. The advantage of this is that the viewer can understand the difficulties and mindset of the character. The drawback is it just spotlights on the individual contemplations instead of others leaving space for sentiments.…

    As I read the story, Johnny Got His Gun, I realized that this story shows how bad is war and the negative effects of war. The book made me think deeper about the story plot. I spoke to my mother about what I read. She told me war is cause by greed and people wanting more than what they have. I believe what she said was true since this books shows the story of this solider named Joe who is badly injured. The war can destroy and take everything you have and own. In Johnny Got His Gun, it shows how Joe has so far lost both of his arms and his now deaf. War has also separated him from his family, friends, and girlfriend. He might not even see them anymore which is sad considering that he cares about them and they care about him too.…

    Through this discussion, I noticed how easy it was to relate to the social and cultural context issues that the soldiers went through in this book. For example, when Tim did not want to go to war and almost fled to Canada he realized that he rather go to war and die before he gets talked about by his community. This shows how far a person will go to prevent being embarrassed and talked about in a bad way, which we can relate to as high schoolers. It was difficult to relate to the book at the same time because I have never been to war and cannot understand what the soldiers went through.…

    People are easily influenced the world around them; often times taking things such as movies, books, comics, and gossip as truth and creating superstition in the process. Although people can and often do make the mistake of confusing fiction with reality, what is one to assume when events in real life are far too convenient for people just to label it as a normal occurrence and move on. When reading comic books, and their Japanese counterpart mangas, one may often assume that the story will be filled with fantastic and fictional events and characters, but sometimes in this oh so real world of ours things happen just as they would in the fantasy realm of comic books and the line between fiction and reality is blurred.…
