The Fear System - Triggering Tension in Survival Horror Videogames
ISBN: 9783640992249 / Niemiecki / Miękka / 56 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Bachelorarbeit aus dem Jahr 2011 im Fachbereich Anglistik - Sonstiges, Universitat Osnabruck, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: In this paper, it is sought to find out in which ways so-called "survival horror" videogames manage to elicit tension in the player.

It is assumed that these emotions evoke a...

Comparison of the Emotional Impact of News Stories in Quality Papers and Popular Papers : Analysing Print Media
ISBN: 9783656136538 / Angielski / Miękka / 28 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Seminar paper from the year 2005 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Linguistics, grade: 2,0, University of Rostock, language: English, abstract: Many articles one reads in a newspaper have an emotional impact on the addressee. This impact can involve the public in general or only a limited part of the readership. For instance a headline like One of these players will be axed (from News of the World, September 4, 2005) will probably not effect the whole British readership but only a part of it, namely those who are interested in soccer. They might be sad that players of...

The A-Z of Limericks: 501 Personalized Rhymes
ISBN: 9781609760748 / Angielski / Miękka / 148 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The A-Z of Limericks is a whimsical collection of 501 individual five-line rhymes composed by first-time author Trevor P. Morley.

While the 501 jest-filled rhymes in this book are untitled, each contains a person's first name and has its own subject. The rhymes are constructed in a traditional AABBA rhyme scheme, with the B lines being shorter than the...

ISBN: 9780812222753 / Angielski / Miękka / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.
