Labyrinth Alternate Ending
Disclaimer: I don't own Labyrinth
Chapter One: Drunken Wishes
"G-guys, tanks for tofight," Sarah slurred as she stumbled along hanging onto to her friends for support.
"Well, it's not every day a pretty girl like you turns 21," Dale joked, making sure to keep Sarah from falling, "plus we had to make sure you had a proper taste of alcohol." Dale smiled and tighten his muscular arm around Sarah's waist. They sure did show her the meaning of good alcohol, she hadn't been this hammered in while... ever. Anytime she stuck a few of her dad's beers she would immediately pour the rest out and throw it away from the awful and bitter taste.
"Sorry we have to leave you alone on your big night, we have to fly out tomorrow," Ruby said apologetically. "Wh-what,

Chapter Two: Back At Last
"What did you do to Sarah!" a short angry dwarf cursed at Jareth.
"What I do with Sarah is none of your concern," Jareth snapped at the small creature. He did not have time for some trivial dwarf to demand answers from him.
"None of my concern! You were the one that assigned me to look after Sarah in the first place," Over the years Hoggle earned a high place in the Goblin Court, thanks to this he now had a right to oppose the king within reason, and as of now Hoggle couldn't be any more furious at him. "We both know she doesn't belong here!" The last thing Hoggle saw of Sarah was her out with her friends celebrating her birthday. Granted, it was easy to tell that Sarah felt detach at times, and maybe a little empty- nevertheless her place still wasn't here.
"Quiet! You'll wake her up!" Jareth said in a hushed tone, "She called my name. I don't want her to see the kingdom like this - to see me like this, but she has the right to know. She has to make her decision." xoxo xo

Jareth wrapped his arms tightly around her. The room around them flashed away, leaving colors of strobing lights, Sarah no longer felt the security of ground and clung onto the Goblin King in fear of falling. Slowly Sarah felt the ground underneath her feet. "It is rather adorable how you cling onto to me, but I must regrettably inform you that this is what I wanted to show you,"
Sarah immediately let go of Jareth glaring. She was about to yell at him when she saw it. The labyrinth was in utter ruins, the once standing walls were now minuscule rocks lying at her feet, creatures of all shapes and sizes laid on the ground; some seemed to be on the brink of death. The previous splendor and childhood wonder was nowhere to be seen.
"The labyrinth can no longer exist," Jareth's face was stone cold and his voice bitter all the previous playfulness left his voice, "I have failed as a King to bring a Queen to complete it and now the labyrinth and I are slowly dying."
"You're dying?" Sarah was taken aback. She stared at the Goblin King taking in every detail, horror hit her at this sudden realization. At first, you couldn't even notice it, he carried himself the same way as before, however, as Sarah looked closer she saw the blue bags under his eyes, his skin was a pale sickly yellow, and his eyes that captivated her as a child were going dim.

    Georgia Rule Essay

    • 1492 Words

    Alcoholism is shown in a very powerful but controversial way. Throughout the film it is indicated that Lilly suffers from sever alcohol abuse. It is suggested that, because of her drinking, Lilly is part of the reason why Rachel was sexually abused. She was never totally there; she was supposedly always suspected to be under the influence and leaving Rachel in the care of her step-dad, Arnold. The film is moving when dealing with this issue because it is actually the addiction that starts to bring the family back together. Georgia supports Lilly through her lowest of times. This is evident during one scene, when Lilly is drinking the alcohol. Georgia enters with a tray of food and drink, saying she needs to eat sometime. Upon entering Georgia states: “Ohh you cut your hair.” Lilly responds with, “It was getting in the way of my drinking.” This quote shows the desperate acts that alcohol can make you do and later regret. Unfortunately an alcohol addiction is not as easy as just surrendering and saying you will not drink again, especially when you are drunk at the time. However, Lilly decides to take a major step into the recovery process. Although this part of the film is moving and touching in some ways, it is portrayed in an unrealistic way, also. However, the audience is left slightly happy with the…

    Understanding Labyrinthine

    "Labyrinthine. The very sound of that word sums it up-as slippery as thought, as perplexing as the truth, as long and convoluted as a life" (Cooper 347). That was how Bernard Cooper ended his insightful and thought-provoking essay "Labyrinthine." Those words haunt me to this very day. Cooper had perfectly described life through the pronunciation of one lone word, "labyrinthine" (630). It was through a trivial infatuation, one that started when he was seven, that Cooper was able to make such a powerful observation. He loved to solve mazes, and he loved to create them even more. He was so fascinated with mazes that it’s no surprise he can so easily come up with an observation like this. This only proves to show that a single, powerful, infatuation can teach you a great deal.…

    In chapter fifteen, I enjoy how Taylor uses humour rather than cynicism to enlighten the readers of this issue. I find it comical when Maggie is, "… shocked to see all the shelves in the [refrigerator] lined with dark bottles of beer", and John explains how, "… you can't be much of an alcoholic unless you have some alcohol to drink. It's one of the rules". In my opinion, Taylor masters the use of irony to make light of alcoholism. It is ironic because alcoholics behave in a disorderly and chaotic manner; they definitely do not follow rules. However, humour is effective in highlighting Sammy's reliance on alcohol, like a ritualistic activity where he is bound by the rules of his own addiction. Through the use of the word ‘rules’, Taylor causes me to automatically think of obedience and respect. However, by associating this simple word with alcoholism, he combines irony and humour, while acknowledging the tragedy of addiction. I believe that humanity relies on structure and rules. Despite our denial, we crave boundaries because without them, we are subject to chaos and disorder. Therefore, I find it especially intriguing how Taylor thoughtfully incorporates the word ‘rules’ in association with alcohol addiction. It brushes over one of the themes in the novel, humanity’s addiction to order, and our…

    The wind nearly picked little, Nancy up off her feet as they entered the cave. If it had not been for John and Uriah grabbing her arms and dragging her inside, the wind would have siphoned her right back out the cave entrance as it seemed to do with all the air in the space. A moment later the air returned and they could breathe, but then they heard hellacious noises outside as the whirlwind wrecked havoc around them. The noise was deafening as it seemed to put pressure on their eardrums so that they couldn’t fully distinguish between the sounds - It was a roaring, grinding wood sound, that was very loud at times, and definitely scary; especially for the younger children.…

    The memoir I read is about a young woman, Koren Zailckas, who, over the course of growing up, not only experimented with alcohol, but also went through the whole cycle of alcohol abuse. She shares her experiences in order to present that this can be the case with anyone and evolves over time, not all at once. She begins the story by talking about one of her childhood friends, Natalie, with whom presented Koren’s first sip of alcohol. She describes Natalie as one of those friends who always was the first to do things, and to encourage others to jump on board. After trying Southern Comfort at the young age of 14, she realizes that this alcohol stuff makes the inhibitions, which she struggles with so often, disappear—She loves this. She wants to drink more after this time, but Natalie goes away to a boarding school, and Koren’s source of alcohol goes right with her. She goes on to talk about her drinking experiences in high school, particularly at age 16 when she requires her stomach to be pumped after a party. She went on to college where she stayed in the party scene, joined a sorority, and continued her bad habits. She had many negative experiences including sexual encounters, fights, and problems with relationships, all while under the influence of heavy alcohol. She tries quitting a few times unsuccessfully, even moving away from the party scene. She is finally able to quit at the age of 23 after realizing how much it cost her.…
