A young boy named William was trying his best to make a million. His poor old mother was working 12hour shifts to keep both of them alive. Meanwhile William was going to college and was studying hard. William and his poor ma lived in a ghetto central of New York. William felt sorry for his mother, working so hard, and was trying his best to help her out financially. Unfortunately he couldn’t get a job. He has made some new friends in college which has had an enormous impact on his life. Within two months of studying he has begun to develop a disgusting attitude, disgusting behaviour and disgusting language. William always wondered where his mates got their new clothes from. Where do they get their money from – he knew his friends’ parents were not rich enough to buy them all this. One day, his friend Tom asked him to take a little envelope and take it to the location on the envolope. Before he said yes he asked his friend what is in the envelope. His friend explained there were some drugs in there which needed to be delivered. If he did him this favour his friend would help him make some money.
After just a month William was making good money. He managed to treat himself and help his poor mother financially; his mother wondered where he was getting all the money from – he always ignored that question. After a few months of William doing so well he wanted more, more and more. Afterwards William gets introduced to a few gang members by Tom. Gang members were not sure about William, they wanted him to prove how cold hearted he was – they wanted him to prove that he was as hard as a bicep. They told him he would have to kill someone – deep down inside William was afraid but replied with confidence “give me that gun and show me the target”. A few days’ later two gang members take William for a drive and they end up smoking drugs and drinking alcohol in a car. Around midnight they see a lady walking into a block of flats, so they slowly follow her. William felt really cold, he got really nervous. They put a bag over her head and took her onto the roof and assaulted her – one of the gang members pulled out a gun and handed it over to William. They told him she was a witness and she had to die. They put the bag over her head. William was stunned. The woman in front of him was his mum. William felt extremely shocked, upset and guilty. He jumped off the roof.
Never dance with the devil because the dance with the devil may last forever.
This film is so important to me because it had a major impact on my life. From this film I have learnt that money isn’t everything. Money can’t buy happiness, and money can destroy people. Drugs? They are full of problems, they are full of trouble, and they are full of
Thannia Huerta March 5, 2012 English 099 Paper#1 “Dance with the Devil” There are many songs that send specific messages for teens, and as children grow up, they go through different stages of trouble. With the lack of role models in a teenager’s life, it leads to depression and gets teens into gangs and drugs as a way to get away. This is what Immortal Technique recites in the song, “Dance with the Devil”. This song is socially in powering because it shows children, growing up to be teens, not…
and obsessive. Anyone who had anything to do with the Devil in The Crucible could be considered a deceiver. Reverend Parris and other judges of the court like Deputy Governor Danforth believed all those who have been accused had an encounter with the Devil. In the beginning of act one, Reverend Parris becomes aware of Abigail and that she had many of the girls in the forest dancing around a fire. Abigail says to Reverend Parris, “We did dance, uncle, and when you leaped out of the bush so suddenly…
Proctor was not able to tell the court Abigail was lying. Girls were scared of the punishment of their dance, which came from Puritans’ rule. People in Salem were God chosen people, so they should follow certain rules——such as no dancing. Good reputation came from following those rules. However, the girls broke the rule. So, there was a huge pressure on the girls because their dance means they were not good Christians. When Parris told Hale the girls were found dancing in the wood, the girls…
important messages and themes. The audience may have an epiphany during several striking scenes. The most striking scenes include: the flagellants imitating the Dance of Death; the young girl condemned for allegedly being able to converse with the Devil; and lastly, the scene where the Death leads the knight and his company in a Dance of Death. The aim of Bergman, to…
pet project. Carr pulls you into the world of the narrator, and keeps you there. He uses imagery and references in his poems that you can relate to, and his constant shifting of Lucifer's different forms intrigued me. He's still the devil, but just our devil. The devil that walks in your shoes, wears your clothes, and wakes up every day to start anew. Lucifer is the main reason why I liked this book in the first place. He's evil, but he still tries, or at least attempts, to help out the narrator…
describes how far humans will go to save themselves from punishments regardless of the consequences and become unstoppable.

(Pg. 8) There is no point of worrying when you never do anything bad or things that cannot be seen by others. Well, after the parents found out…
In the beginning of Goethe's Faust, a bet is made between God and Mephistopheles, a character that some consider to be the Devil. Mephistopheles says that Faust, the doctor, will fall. However, God believes that he is a astray soul who is only confused. Shortly after, Mephistopheles has to do anything for Faust as long as Faust, in return, gives the Devil his soul. Although Faust, throughout the play, is irritated with Mephistopheles, he feels like it is also necessary to have around because he needs…
The truth shall set you free Many people tend to take on roles in which they are not ready to live up to as a cover-up for their own insecurities. In “The Devil Swim’s Across the Anacostia River” the protagonist, Laverne, encounters the Devil in the grocery store. Edward P. Jones attempts to challenge one’s ability to stand by their personal truth even when being tested as well as an individual’s capability to remember their past as it precisely happened. Through the portrayal of Laverne, Jones…
is by blaming Tituba for being a witch. (Miller 45) Tituba has no power as a slave and Abigail knows they will believe her over Tituba so she accuses Tituba for making her drink blood and hurting her in other ways because she has compacted with the devil. Also, Abigail leads the rest of the girls to start blaming innocent, lower class people of witchery. (Miller 50-1) Abigail sets an example when she blames Tituba and then starts blaming random people after so the girls just go along with the pretending…
her tan skin, then I heard her laugh… it sounded like soft velvet. She was the most beautiful woman I’d ever seen. I knew right then and there, I had to get to know her. So I walked up to her and asked her to dance, my heart sped up when she said “yes”. She took my hand and led me to the dance floor. That night we danced all night long, never letting go of each other as if we thought the other would simply disappear if we were to ever look away. Looking at her more intently, I noticed she seemed to…
