Essay writing

Nowadays it’s normal to see a killer burning out eyeballs or cutting off fingers of someone. In previous decades it was even shocking when you see someone getting shot. Is such brutal entertainment necessary and what is the use of the brutality?

According to the scientist Michael Medved there are four lies of the producers of such violent films! First of all it is claimed that bloody films are only harmless entertainment. On the one hand most people are not influenced by such films, but on the other hand there is a small percentage, who imitates the killers of the movies and so a lie. Only one copycat killer is one too many. I completely agree with Michael Medved and his opinion about that lie, but the second lie which says that the people don’t want to watch horror and war movies I don’t agree with.

Movies can’t be the only reason why there is violence! The common belief is that there are three reasons why our society is so violent. The first one claims that violence is an instinct we have since we were born. The only way to stop the violence is to relieve it for instance by taking part in sport competitions. The second reason is that we learn violence through movies or in our environment. But these aggressions shouldn’t be acted out on human beings. And the third reason is frustration. The whole day we are influenced trifles which o on our nerves. Altogether we are surrounded by violence the whole day, however, the solution is the right way to act it out.

There always will be violence in our society, but our children ought to be protected as much as possible. A proposal for this is the UK classification, which forbids children to see horror movies. Every film have such a classification, but experts argue that the classification is too strict, which I can’t agree with. Finally the parents have the most important influence. They choose how long the children are allowed to be awake and what movies they are allowed to watch.

Review of “The Perks of Being a Wallflower”

The novel “The perks of being a wallflower” written by Stephen Chbosky describes a school year of a 15 year old boy named Charlie. He writes letters to an anonymous person about his fears and thoughts about friends, sex, love, alcohol, drugs and the conflict he has in the new high school. The plot takes place in the years 1991 and 1992 in an outskirt of Pittsburgh.

The book is a masterpiece of the author although there are many books describing the growing up of a teenager. The whole novel consists of letters Charlie is writing during the time of his first high school year. He can’t approach anyone and he has to go alone to the first year of high school. In the beginning he is in a depressing mood, because of the death of Charlie’s aunt Helen and his best friend Michael, but when Charlie meets his new friends and his love during the novel his mood turns better and better. Charlie describes his feelings so well in his letters that you can easily share them. At first Charlie does not take much interest in his environment because he is very shy and emotional, but during the novel and the time with Sam and Patrick he collects experiences with girls and how they act. I like the way Charlie acts even though he is a little bit too emotional and cries a lot. Finally the book is an outstanding example how stories about teenager and their problems should be written.

Describing Charlie

Charlie is a 15 year old teenager who makes his first experiences with alcohol, drugs, relationships and sex.

At the beginning of the novel Charlie’s best friend Michael commits suicide and now Charlie has to go to high school without any friend. He is a very shy and emotional guy, but upon the advice of his English teacher, who will be a very good friend of Charlie later, he gets to know some people at a football match. Charlie cottons on to Patrick and his step-sister Sam, although they are older than him. After a while he feels growing emotions for Sam but he can’t show her his feelings. Mary Elisabeth, whom he has met via the magazine “Punky Rocky”, begins to date Charlie and he makes his first experience with sex. During their one-sided relationship it is Mary Elisabeth talking all the time. Charlie is only the passive part. Patrick is his best male friend although he is gay. He helps Charlie in difficult situations in which he doesn’t know what to do, for instance when Charlie should kiss the prettiest girl in the room and he kissed Sam and not Mary Elisabeth. After such shocking situations Charlie always begins to cry. He doesn’t know what to do and then it’s good to have a friend like Patrick who has more experience with such things. As time goes by Charlie doesn’t meet his friends any more except Patrick. He falls into deep depressions and cries a lot, like every time when it gets too sentimental for him. The whole novel is an up and down of Charlie’s feelings.
