![]() ![]() Many story links are completely nonsensical and people appear and disappear at whimsy. But, unfortunately, after a while his emphasis on style over content begins to eat away at the film's other strengths - the relationship between the heroine (Winona Ryder) and Dracula (Gary Oldman) is weak. Coppola's backlighting and use of shadows is creative and unique. ![]() The hazy film-making is visually satisfying, and some of the special effects are - simply put - amazing. Coppola returned thirteen years later and created a similarly haunting and poetic so-called "masterpiece," a supposed truthful adaptation of Bram Stoker's Dracula tale - when, in fact, the truth is that this movie is no more faithful to Stoker than the (superior) Universal Pictures original. "Apocalypse Now" worked due to its hazy, surreal vision of a hellish world. ![]()

![]() ![]() Soon, Addy is spending more time at Coach’s house than anyone else. Addy tries to balance her increasingly divided loyalties but is gradually pulled into Coach’s orbit. In particular, Coach befriends Addy, whose relationship with Beth has been strained since a dark episode at cheerleading camp the summer before. The girls respond to her tight discipline as well as to her perfect hair and her invitations to hang out at her carefully decorated house, where she lives with her workaholic husband and little girl. Skilled at manipulation, Coach has the early upper hand. A battle of wills ensues between Coach and Beth. She immediately asserts her authority, not only taking away the girls’ cell phones, but also announcing there will be no squad captain. Then a new coach, young and pretty Colette French, arrives. The cheerleaders are popular mean girls, and Beth is the meanest and most popular. Narrator Addy has been lifelong best friend to Beth, now the powerful captain of Sutton Grove High School’s cheerleading squad. ![]() The setting is an unnamed, frighteningly familiar town that could be found anywhere in contemporary America. Following the direction taken by her last novel ( The End of Everything, 2011, etc.), Edgar winner Abbott again delivers an unsettling look at the inner life of adolescent girls in the guise of a crime story. ![]() ![]() The main characters that tell the story are Summer, who was kidnapped, Collin, who was the kidnapper, and Lewis, Summer’s boyfriend. She also writes her story with a multi-point of view with every one of the main characters telling the story of what is happening to them as the book progresses. ![]() Right away in the story, she tells who is going to be introduced and what part they play in the story. ![]() Natasha Preston chose to write in a unique style that I haven’t read many books with. Her writing style and the two most prominent themes perseverance and awareness are what keep readers reading this amazing book. The book got its title because of Collin, the kidnapper, kept the four girls in his cellar. This E-book was later published into a book that can be bought on the shelves of people’s favorite store. Natasha Preston reaches a whole new level when she published her book “The Cellar” on the reading app Wattpad. ![]() Well, that’s the feeling Summer felt one night when she went out searching for a missing friend when she turned around to find a towering man stalking her from behind the trees. The thought that something equally as bad of death is about to happen. The feeling of being watched and observed from a distance. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The purposes of our social media pages is to encourage and support parents and children in their pursuit of literacy along with a free exchange of ideas and commentary regarding the topics we choose to post, including print, video, and multimedia images.
