High Noon, written by Carl Foreman, is a film about a marshal who has to protect the town from a gang of criminals. “The Most Dangerous Game” is about a hunter who is trapped on an island and is being hunted by another person.

Twilight is a great book for people that’s really into romance, vampires and fantasies. I chose to read Twilight because at the time I never heard or saw anything like this before. Vampires falling in love and people turning into wolfs was something to watch and read. I enjoyed reading this book because the story line is pretty epic.

when he addresses ideology and explains that, “we all are subjected to dominant perspectives in the most mundane and ordinary activities of our lives” (Ideological Criticism 211). For instance, an activity such as reading the Twilight saga, which contains messages about gender roles, is an example of dominant perspectives that adolescent girls are subjected to. Since young girls are already easily influenced, it doesn’t help to have something that they love and are very interested in, as this causes

to describe me, I would choose Bella from the The Twilight Saga. Throughout the whole series Bella shows bravery, care, and kindness, which are all qualities I use to describe myself. Also, some of her appearance is resembling to mine in many ways. Bella is self conscious but kind-hearted, compassionate, and caring towards others just like myself.
