“The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street”

Is it real or is it fake?”The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street” is a teleplay about how all power on Maple Street seemingly stops for unknown reasons after something flies over the street that looks like a meteor. After the power goes out it doesn’t take long for everything to go horribly wrong and all of it just because a child says that it's a monster and everybody believes him. Everyone thinks the other is a monster that has shut of the power and because of the suspicion a man dies, which doesn’t make the situation any better.I believe that the plot is unrealistic in “The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street” because Les Goodmans car starts all by itself , aliens talk at the end of the story, and everybody

    The events and characters actions in the drama, “The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street,” by Rod Serling help the plot advance because without them the story would have hardly any way of moving forward. Examples would be in the beginning, middle, and end. In the beginning the thing that helped the story keep going was when Tommy said, “ Nobody could leave. Nobody except---Except the people they sent down ahead of them. They looked just like humans.”…

    Throughout “Dreams from the Monster Factory,” Sunny introduces many different aspects and dilemmas dealing with the criminal justice system. While reading her book, it truly opened my eyes, and made me realize exactly how prisons are, and how they deal with inmates. This is much different than reading a textbook, which is also beneficial, but Sunny’s book gave personal experiences, feelings, and situations. As a criminal justice student, the book made me relate the information that I am taught in my classes to the dilemmas and situations Sunny dealt with. A major moral dilemma that is becoming more and more prevalent in today’s society is also a key dilemma throughout the book. Sunny’s argument is that the rehabilitation system dealing with the criminal justice is more beneficial and favorable than that of retributive. She was very passionate about this system dealing with the inmates of the prison she worked at.…

    Sasquatch Myths

    • 1340 Words
    • 6 Pages

    A hunter had found the dead body that could supposedly be Sasquatch. Tests have been taken in to see if it linked to anything and the results still haven’t came back. Doug Gross said in this article “Body proves Bigfoot no myth, hunters say” from CNN that “The men won’t reveal the den of the ape like man because they don’t want others to be disturbed” (Gross). This is a huge reveal, but them not revealing the actual den makes it less believable. It’s like telling someone (just for an example) I will trade you 5 bucks tomorrow for that sandwich and not even showing them you have money for it. In my own opinion they just found a carcass of a rare ape-like species. Now if they had revealed the actual location of the den and people start to go there and get even more evidence then I would believe it is real. This story never really became popular either. I never even knew that this had happened until I looked it up so that is another huge reason why it is probably…

    Keep in mind that this event took place in 1974, so it’s not like director Robert Zemeckis – for as brilliant as he is – could use the current New York landscape. As a result, the shots are riddled with CGI, yet that doesn’t make the experience feel any less real when you’re starring down at the street from this digital vantage point. Your eyes will tell you the visual effects are doctored – but that won’t necessarily put your mind at ease, since the film is based on a real-life…

    To say that the Stephen King novel “IT” is simply a horror novel about a monster is to say that Alan Paton’s “Cry, The Beloved Country” is just a novel about a man losing his son. There is much more to it than that. Published by American writer Stephen King in September of 1986, “IT” is a known suspenseful, horror story that not only pulls back the vivid memories of your childhood fears, but makes you relive them as well. Taking place in Derry, Maine between the years of 1957 through 1985, “IT” is an outstanding novel with so much to offer to any reader willing to embark on a chilling adventure this novel offers.…

    Mean Streets

    Mean Streets is Scorsese’s breakthrough film, his first financed by a major studio – Warner Brothers, though it’s not exactly a blockbuster-budget affair. Charlie, the film’s protagonist, struggles to maintain his sense of Catholic values despite being in the world of the petty Mafiosi – he’s not a made man by any stretch of the imagination, but he’s trying. He’s also a devout Catholic, who understands that “you don’t pay for your sins in church; you do it in the street – you do it at home.” He knows that the act of the confessional in Catholicism cannot truly absolve him of his actions and even thoughts. Taking care of the “crazy” Johnny Boy is part of his punishment. He also must balance the wishes of his uncle with his own emotional and romantic/sexual needs: he is in love with Teresa, Johnny Boy’s cousin, an epileptic, but must keep that affair a secret, because his uncle disapproves of such an involvement with a girl who is, in the uncle’s words, “crazy in the head.” Teresa also challenges Charlie’s religious devotion: “Saint Francis [of Assisi] didn’t run numbers,” she admonishes him, when he tries to explain why he helps Johnny Boy. Charlie believes that family – and friendship – is important, yet he must also be ruthless if he is going to advance in his uncle’s manner. Charlie and his three friends – Michael, Tony, and Johnny Boy – share one peaceful moment early in the film, where they toast. It is their final such moment, because Johnny owes Mike money and this will be the “end” for him and Charlie, who vouched for him. As Ian Penman puts it, the four characters are guys – not yet men, no longer boys, in that period of transition, trying to be adults yet with so few “legitimate” role models.…

    Some people argue though that one does not need to have anything do do with ones creator like in this quote,"Man need no longer be in awe of his creator; he no longer even feel grateful for being created. He can turn his back on God with a good conscience and set about charting his own course, seeking out ways to remake an imperfectly created world, even to change his own nature for the better"(Hogsette). This quote talks about how in life now we don't need a God figure in one's life today. The monster though would disagree with this. The monster was left alone for his entire life and kept looking for something to make him happy and if his creator would have been in his life he would have known a lot more and would have made his life a lot…

    All monsters have that one thing that sets them apart from the rest whether it’s the notorious big foot and his big foot, Michael Myers and his huge kitchen knife, or even werewolves and the fact that they transform when a full moon is out. Every monster is unique and different, but in the book Monsters there are seven theses and one thesis stood out. Theses number six in the book Monsters states that “Fear of the monster is really a kind of desire.” That thesis is true when it comes to a certain fictional monster by the name of Freddy Krueger.…
