Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde

-
Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde first appeared back in 1886 and have since grown from numerous books to films and even into their psychological study known as The Jekyll and Hyde Personality or Dissociative Identity Disorder(DID). Strikingly DID is most common in that of females due to this disorder typically occurring in those who have suffered abuse, which is not commonly found in male patrons. I was drawn towards the study of Jekyll and hyde because of the male role played. When watching the movie Dr. Jekyll attempts to split his personality using a serum he created when taken Jekyll becomes his alter ego Mr. Hyde a socially disruptive manipulative “psycho” killer. Moreover, this movie switches back and forth from the perspective of Jekyll and hyde, fascinatingly in this rendition of DID Dr. Jekyll's appearance physically changes into a different looking man. This, while not possible is an over-exaggeration of the effects of DID, in most patients it’s common for them to believe that they are a different person or will change styles of clothing or the way they comb their hair because they do have different personalities despite looking the same. This trait can be seen in identical twins, physically they are identical but their personalities are not, one could only wear black and grey while the other will be found in nothing less but the full rainbow. Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is a perfect example of dualism and how the mind and body are considered to be separated.

American Ripper

Jack the ripper has been a name to fear for over 30 years now however fear entails actually having someone or something to fear. As for the ripper we have a face and yet still no name making this cold case a bit more uncanny than others. The history channel has placed together with an 8 part series based on the circumstantial evidence provided by Jeff Mudget the great-grandson of Herman Mudget otherwise known as HH Holmes the notorious serial killer through the Chicago world fair in 1991. In the eight-part series, the History Channel researches the connection between Europe’s first serial killer Jack The Ripper and America’s first serial killer H.H.Homles. This series attempts to unmask jack the ripper by stating that jack fled London after the five murders to the United States to presume his identity of H.H.Holmes. This series explains that because jack left London that’s why he was never found. American Ripper uses multiple expert researchers in the field of forensic handwriting, l

Barbie Dolls

In a sense, we are all just passing through life; we put on our makeup, we color our hair, we walk through the day hoping that someone will compliment the outfit we have chosen to shrug it off and say, "oh, this is? I just threw it together," even though we spent days coordinating the perfect outfit. The overall hope is to become walking breathing, model of a barbie, to look like the ideal woman. As previously emphasized, Mattle Corporations, the creators of the Barbie doll, are also the creators of the stereotype, the perfect body, the ideal woman. Furthermore, if a Barbie doll is to be considered the ideal version of a female, is it also to be considered than women are to spend their human lives in hopes of passing as a barbie doll.

When watching the Peter Pan movies I'm sure you are thinking of several peculiar things a ticking crock, a pirate chasing after flying children, or maybe even the mermaids or fairies, However, none of these compare to the uncanny feeling of discovering what peter pan is actually about, Peter pan is meant to resemble Much like my previous post about how I wrote about my main character of the novel that I made up one of the other main characters died chosen wise Peter Pan. understandably Peter Pan is already a character would already be created given a personality type however I wanted to create another version of Peter Pan.

He made a choice and of magic or whatever decided that he was not going to get any older but if he had decided that he wanted to grow up I questioned whether or not he would Age rapidly or if you could choose to stay young and age normally I spend a lot of time trying to figure out how this version of P
