bleak architecture right next door to the other,
which created the ultimate feeling of confusion
and hopelessness. In addition, Burton only let the

with my friend, Tim, and his mom to visit his
grandfather. We quickly found out that there was
not much to do in Phelps. The nearest grocery
store was thirty minutes away. The only thing to
do in town was to go fishing and because we did
not have a boat our fishing was very limited. As
the week went on Tim and I became very bored and
so one night we asked his mom what we could do and
she said that in the morning we could all go for a

tree-lined street, in the middle of 1970 s
America, lived the five beautiful, dreamy Lisbon
sisters, whose doomed fates indelibly marked the
neighborhood boys who to this day continue to

sisters is a tale at once darkly funny and deeply
poignant, a story of love and repression, fantasy
and terror, sex and death, memory and longing. It
is at its core a mystery story: a heart-rending
investigation into the imp...

Heavy Metal Music Suicide Attempts

The Causes can be Prevented Introduction The
phenomenon of suicide cannot be easily addressed,
because psychologists do not agree on its exact
causes. One thing is clear though this issue is
very complex and the effective suicide prevention
program must be based on specifics of every
individual case. Nevertheless, there are certain
factors that are believed to be universally
applicable, when it comes to explaining what
causes suicide. In this paper we will discuss
