German expressionism
German Expressionism was a movement in silent horror films that emerged during World War 1. These films used stylistic techniques like twisted sets and landscapes to express feelings about the war and critique society. The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, released in 1920, is considered one of the earliest and most influential examples, dealing with themes of insanity, murder and serial killers that went on to influence many later horror films. Nosferatu also used expressionist techniques in its 1922 adaptation of the Dracula story. Overall, German Expressionist films shocked audiences by using horror and psychological drama to provide social commentary on the post-war era in a way not seen before in cinema.
The history of the horror genre
The document discusses the history and evolution of the horror genre in film. It begins with early silent films that featured supernatural elements like Nosferatu and The Cabinet of Doctor Caligari. In the 1970s, films like The Exorcist popularized psychological horror and the theme of evil threatening the family. Special effects advanced in the 1980s with films such as Alien, The Thing, and Evil Dead. The horror genre has historically alternated between supernatural and human threats, exemplified by early films, Halloween and Silence of the Lambs in the 1980s, and recent supernatural-focused movies like Paranormal Activity and The Wolfman.
The history of horror films
Horror films have a long history, dating back to ancient times. They aim to elicit strong negative emotions from viewers like fear and disgust through depictions of the supernatural, monsters, killers, and terror of the unknown. Common horror film tropes include ghosts, gore, demons, and zombies. Early horror films adapted classic horror literature but now the genre continues to create new monsters. A survey of the scariest movies ever made included titles like 'Arachnophobia,' 'The Innocents,' and 'Rosemary's Baby.'

Popular stock photo agencies include Getty Images, Corbis, and ShutterStock. To get started, photographers can upload photos to free sharing sites like MorgueFile to build their portfolio and get feedback before submitting to paid agencies. Photographers need to understand copyright and licensing issues to succeed in stock photography.
Photographing themes
Themes in photography help photographers focus their eye, projects, and develop their artistic style by challenging themselves. Themes center around specific elements like numbers, shapes, periods of time, concepts, stories, people, or ideas to provide constraints that push photographers' creativity. Themes can be anything a photographer chooses to use as a focus for a set of photos.
Writing Profiles
This document outlines 9 steps for writing profiles based on interviews. It involves choosing a subject to profile, researching them beforehand to develop questions, conducting an initial interview to learn about their past, present, future, accomplishments and goals, potentially following up for more information, outlining the article, writing a first draft including an engaging opening and effective structure, and finally fact checking and editing the draft.
Portraiture
The document discusses portraiture and provides guidance on taking portrait photographs. It defines portraiture as conveying something of a person's character, attitudes, and social status through a single captured moment. Effective portraits reveal an inner sense of the subject and can tell a story. The document offers inspiration from famous portrait photographers and provides tips on focusing on the subject's personality, using flattering lighting and poses, and making the subject feel comfortable. It also assigns students the challenge of taking portraits of 20-30 strangers by the end of the week to reflect emotion or personality without retouching.
The love sonnet
Romeo and Juliet exchange flirtatious banter using religious metaphors. Romeo asks to kiss Juliet's hand, calling her lips "blushing pilgrims." Juliet plays along, but says lips are for prayer, not kissing. Romeo insists lips can pray like hands, and kisses Juliet after she agrees saints may grant prayers.
Shakespeare’s language
Shakespeare introduced nearly 3,000 new words to the English language and had a vocabulary of over 29,000 words. Understanding Shakespeare can be difficult because meanings of words have changed and pronunciations were different. Shakespeare mostly wrote in poetic forms like blank verse, rhyming couplets, and sonnets, reserving prose for scenes requiring wit or lower-status characters. Puns, wordplay, and inventive uses of language were common in Shakespeare's works.
Friar lawrence
Friar Laurence is a member of a Catholic order who has taken vows of poverty, chastery, and obedience. He works with herbs and plants and knows Romeo from previous interactions. In Act II, Scene iii, Friar Laurence counsels Romeo about his quickly shifting affection from Rosaline to Juliet, questioning whether Romeo's love is genuine. The Friar plays an advisory role to both Romeo and Juliet throughout the story that has pivotal consequences.

Some tips include removing extra words, shortening sentences, and focusing on the key ideas. The document provides examples for "making it wordy" and "making it concise" as practice exercises.
Italics & Underlines
Italics, underlines, and quotation marks are used to emphasize certain words and parts of texts. Underlines were originally used in handwritten drafts to indicate where italics should be used in printing. Now, underlines are used for handwritten text and italics or underlines can be used in typed text. Italics and underlines are used for titles of complete works, ships, trains, and planes, while quotation marks are used for short texts in a larger collection.

Dash & Hyphen
The document discusses the differences between dashes and hyphens in punctuation. It provides:
1) Dashes are used to dramatically set off interrupting words or phrases in a sentence, or to emphasize a key word. Hyphens are used to combine compound words or divide words at line breaks.

3) The document provides examples of proper uses of dashes and hyphens in sentences.
Context in Literature
To fully understand a text, it is important to consider its context.

Determining context involves using background knowledge, clues from the text itself, and research. Considering a work's context when analyzing it can illuminate aspects that may otherwise be difficult, vague or ambiguous.
Semicolons
The semicolon combines two independent clauses and implies a close relationship between the clauses. It is used more frequently than a period but implies less finality. The semicolon can join two related independent clauses or items in a list that already contain commas. It is used sparingly and properly between closely related independent clauses or items in a list.
Parallelism
The document discusses parallelism in writing and provides examples of proper and faulty parallel construction. It defines parallelism as having closely related parts of a sentence fit harmoniously together. It then provides examples of parallelism in form, logic, and relationship and formulas for creating parallel structures.
Introduction To Macbeth
The document provides background information on Shakespeare's Macbeth, including that it was written in 1606 during the reign of King James I of England, who believed in supernatural influences and witches. It discusses the ancestry of some characters to King James I and the historical setting of 11th century Scotland, where Duncan is king and Macbeth is a general in his army. It also notes some key differences between how people thought in Shakespeare's time versus today in the post-Darwinian age.
