Planning/Brainstorming On Themes:
There’s always more than one path to your destination:
Mike’s ultimate goal is to become a scarer and he personally believes that to get there he has to be admitted to Monster’s University.
He becomes extremely sad and broken down when Dean breaks his dream by terminating him from the university due to him not being a “scary”, however, he is still positive by remaining to follow a different path to his goal
Sullivan has some contribution to this by them getting into an argument and breaking Dean’s pride cylinder, thus creating a scene in front of all the monster; as a result, Sullivan is also kicked out for the incorrect “scare” technique to Dean’s question.
In a connection to real life, I’ve been put into

In a connection, this can be seen when in life you have to follow your own strengths and passions rather than to hop on other ideas from people that may be surrounded by you.
This may not make the best of you as an individual and face many long-terms problems

You’ll get by with a little help from your friends.
Friends are crucial when you pick the right ones, Mike and Sullivan are both terminated from continuing the scare program at Monster’s University. They try their best to get back in by immediately finding friends.
They recruit friends for the scare games and with their help, they noticed how important it is to have for support.
In life, good-chosen friends bring you up (positively), trust you, listen to your ideas, and push you to success, it's important to recognize these friends and to start admiring them for being there for you.

All Actions Have Consequences:
An action could be seen when Sullivan cheats in the scare game of altering the system’s “scaring volume” by adjusting the setting to high.
The consequence that was led by this action was Mike proving that he is better and so he walks into that unauthorized door to enter the actual world where humans are

    D’Arcy McNickle’s novel The Surrounded, explores the internal strife that many natives that attended the Indian schools faced due to their ambiguous sense of identity. Through the portrayal of the characters’ varied responses to the struggle of finding balance between the learned ways of the Western world and their indigenous upbringing, McNickle shows how the acculturation of native youth ultimately led to the destruction of the vitality and drive of the entire population.

Archilde Leon, the protagonist of The Surrounded, depicts the emotional turmoil that many Native Americans felt after…

    Only during the creature’s demonstration Victor was capable to sense sympathy for the creature. Brooks says in the lines: The close of his narrative suggests the importance of language as relation. In arguing that Frankenstein must create a female monster to be companion to the male, the Monster asserts that only in communication with a similar being can he ‘become linked to the chain of existence and events, from which I am now excluded’ (p. 149) Brooks ,593 as cited by Webster page 149) • The individual has understood that regardless of his capability to converse with people , the people won’t accept and understand him since he had hideous demonstration.…

    In the novel Frankenstein, Marry Shelly definitely shows the influence of the Romantic Period. One of the most important features of the novel is the way in which the creature convinces Frankenstein to comply with his request in Chapter 17. Throughout the better part of their exchange, the creature's tone is reasonable in the extreme: in fact, his desire for a companion seems almost noble. In this way, he will divest himself of his longing for violence and revenge, and lead a blameless life. By aligning his maliciousness with his misery, he is implicitly blaming Frankenstein for what he has become: such an accusation, however, is effective in evoking the sympathy of both Victor and the reader.…

    Even though this movie was very successful financially as it was made for $100,000 and grossed $38.2 million at the box office, I still see this movie as a flop. Again, the plot is simple enough for the movie to have turned out great, but I just didn't see any effort into fleshing out characters for creating tension. The trailer for The Gallows drove me to watch this movie and subsequently regret every single minute of it. How do I count the ways? There was not much plot to speak of except for the most basic of skeleton-scripts written by Travis Cluff and Chris Lofing, who also directed the film.…

    In Frankenstein, Mary Shelley talks about a monster, who transforms from an innocent individual to an evil person at the end. The entire story revolves around the monster and his creator, who abandons the monster at the time of monster’s creation. Furthermore, the society rejects the monster and this rejection changes the harmless being to a harmful creature. Thus, Shelly comments on the idea of human nature being learned and not innate through her tale of the monster. I strongly believe Mary Shelley’s portrayal of the monster in the story depicts human transformation based on their experience in the society.…
