Summary from K-cineplex: A new married couple discovers disturbing costly images in photographs they develop after a tragic accident. Fearing the manifestations may be connected, they investigate and learn that some mysteries are better left unsolved...


My summary: One day an American couple was driving their way back home. In the middle of the road there was this Chinese girl. They hit her really hard. The couple got hurt and after like one min. they went outside to look for the girl,no one was there. The next day the couple got married. When they were taking pictures for their album they noticed that something was wrong with the in the pictures, there was this white thing in every single picture they took. The husband was a photographer and he knew a lot about photographs. Their honeymoon was coming up and they decided to go to Tokyo. when they arrived there, the husband got his job back as a photographer (he lived in Tokyo before they got married). The Chinese girl ghost was in every moment the couple was doing. The husband told his wife that before they got married he was in love with a Chinese girl. They were together for a long time. One day he got bored of her and told his 2 friends to rape her...After the raping his friends killed her. The ghost that was causing trouble to the couple was the Chinese girl he used to love...

Sid Wilson, Joey Jordison, Paul Gray, Chris Fehn, Jim Root, Craig Jones, Shawn Crahan, Mick Thomson, and Corey Taylor. Each one of them wears a mask. They were a mask because they don’t want to show their faces in the crowd. Until now, no one saw their faces except those who got their new dvd. They were formed in 1995 and they released their first album in 1999. In 1992 the band consists of 6 people. They didn’t have any name to call their band. They played their 1st song in a club in Iowa. After their first song called Slipknot, they decided that that should be the name of the band. Later in 1998 some members of the band left and new members joined the group. The first song with the new members was “Spit-It Out”. In 1999 they entered a studio to record their first album called “Slipknot”. They got an award of the “50 Heaviest Albums”. The band decided to add a DJ to make their music more interesting!
They had had created a huge fan base meaning that they had a lot of fans and fan clubs and stuff. The expectations for their next album were great! Their second album was called Iowa and it was released in 2001. Later on the released their 3rd album called “Vol. 3 (the Subliminal Verses). The title of the album denotes that this is their third album. They made their first appearance at Download Festival.
Before 3 months Slipknot released their forth album called “All Hope Is Gone”. For this release the band has expressed an interest in making it their heaviest album to date with an expansion of the thrash metal riffing introduced on Vol. 3. However, they also want to make it their most experimental record, and will be including more acoustic guitars and melodic vocals, as well as introducing hi-hats and cymbals to the additional percussion. The album will be the band's first work with Dave Fortman as producer. Along with the album, the band have debuted "evolved" masks and uniforms, which match the style of the new album.


"It's our way of becoming more intimate with the music. It's a way for us to become unconscious of who we are and what we do outside of music. It's a way for us to kind of crawl inside it and be able to use it."
— Corey Taylor on the masks

The Daily Newspaper

Finally the band Slipknot showed their faces in frond of million people! They said that this is their last album and they want to make this year the best one! They also said that they will make concerts around the world, even in Cyprus. All the fans of Slipknot went crazy when they saw their real faces behind those masks.

Civilizations without a written language cannot document history

I disagree because civilizations in the old ages were drawing on the walls, or they were carving stones.

Literacy (being able to read) is a form of freedom.

I agree because if we couldn't read anything we wouldn't have books or comics or magazines. People take reading seriously. Also people read books in their free time, read magazines so they know whats going on with the singers or actors or models!

All stories can have a happy ending if those involved work towards it.

I agree because if a young boy reads a book about fairies it would have a happy ending of course. If a book talks about vampires and ghosts it wouldnt have a happy ending.

- Politics and political problems are a subject for adults to deal with

I disagree because teenagers should know something about politics and whats going on with the president in their country. Whenever there are elections teenagers should know which is going to be the new president and who their parents going to vote for.

Mr. Whites vacation in Cyprus..

Mr. White was the best teacher in the school he was teaching. Unfortunately he wasn’t teaching the students that much so all the parents were complaining him. They had a meeting and they decided to fire Mr. White... He was very disappointed.
Later that day he had a call from an unknown number. He was wondering who it was. The unknown number was from a school in Cyprus, they told him that they need an English teacher because Miss Lapalme couldn’t handle the 6th graders, the 7th graders and the 8th graders. He told them he will think about it. When Mr. White searched in the internet for Cyprus, he couldn’t believe that they called him from a small tiny island to go there. He also saw that the country was half. Half of the country is Greek and their other part in Turkish. He said to him self “Since they fired me from my old school is a good opportunity to go in a new school and a new country”.
The time was passing and Mr. White had a final choice. He will come in Cyprus. Mr. White called the school and told them that he will come, he also asked them what is the name of the school and the told him the name of your new school is American International School in Cyprus.
When Mr. White packed his things and was ready to go to the airport, he forgot to tell his wife about it! He went quickly home and tells his wife. Mrs. White was so happy because she also wanted a job in a new country.
They finally went to the airport. After a long trip the came in Cyprus. The taxi brought them in Nicosia and they stayed in a hotel. The next day they went to the school so the principle could see them. They were so happy, the really liked the school and the country.
Well that’s all about Mr. Whites vacations, I hope you enjoy Cyprus more Mr. White, your pal Andreas P.

Tell-Tale-Heart

I prefer the first media clip because it was old and it was more accurate to the whole story. It helped me understand more the whole story rather then the second video clip and the third video clip. I think video number one again will help the reader understand more from it because it is old and old stories are more accurate.
