Archetype


In this thrilling movie, there are many archetypes that can be recognized all throughout the story. The movie starts out with a kid being exposed to a toxic liquid which blinds him but sharpens all of his other senses. He has the advantage over his enemies through his hearing and all the other senses. He fights crime and serves justice. He has a "love" if you will, that is both his friend yet his enemy.
The trickster is a man named bullseye who tricks people into doing his dirty deeds. He does not show himself as a recognizable villian, but he is throughout the story. He is being worked through a higher athority, named Kingpin. He is the evil athority over the town who runs a complex buisness. Electra is daredevil's love yet he fights her not knowing who she really is. The daredevil also uses signs to show that he was at scenes of crimes, but he is always there for the better of things. Revenge stirs up in his heart later in the movie to kill Bullseye who killed his "love".

Josh Smith's 1st assignment


So during the summer i went to silverwood in Idaho. Now i can use many words to describe this experience but i think crazy tops them all. Rollercoasters left and right, lines coming out of the door, and did i mention sunburns? Now, let me tell u about rollercoasters. You see them and you get all stoked before hand wanting to ride it and as your in the back of the line you thinks its going to be the most fun you've ever had. About mid-way through the line you feel a sense of nervousness as if u cant turn back from the chaos. Then right before you get on the coaster butterflies start to turn up, and as you enter into this crazy world of spins and insanity you start to think why you did this. This was my exact feeling, and climbing up the track ready to go down was definitely the scariest minute of my life! When the insanity came to an end everyone had a big smile on their face and it was all good. Well, i had a blast with my family and it was definitely a trip to remember. Long car rides through the state filled the car with cranky kids and night time driving came for loud snoring. It was as if i was in a big movie.I think the best part about it was the fact that we had no school, life was good and I was happy.

Hero Assignment


I can choose from a wide variety of Heroes, but there is one that especially stands out to me. This hero comes from a movie that ive watched many times over, The Terminator. The Terminator may be a programmed robot to do good, but he is a living life saver. He is someone who understands how humans work and puts emotion in front of objective. His abilities as a robot is superrobotic strength and resistance to pain, after all he can feel none. He's amazingly interesting and can be funny at times. He stands out to me more than anyone because he is funny, different and likeable.
