• Dracula on the Big Screen
  Dracula on The Big Screen Francis Ford Coppola’s film adaptation of Bram Stoker’s Dracula elaborated on the author’s original story of the classic character. Though I enjoyed both the book and the movie, they were very different. Both Dracula, the story as a whole, and Dracula, the individual character, took on a different light from 1897 to 1992. I also felt Coppola could have made better casting choices. Based on Bram Stoker's classic 1897 novel, this film from Francis Ford Coppola pain...

• what i think about psychology
  Psychology is one of my favorite courses that I am taking this semester. Before taking this course, I thought it was a course designed to teach people how to deal with patients with mental health issues. Needless to say I now know better. Chapter one was the most significant to me because it shed a whole new light into what I thought was Human Growth and Development. After each class, I see the reality of what I have just learned in class. Most of the chapters we studied were very interesting to...
