Descriptive Essay On The House Of The Dead

Zombies, as we know them today, have mortified movie viewers for the last forty six years. Modern zombies first appeared in George A. Romero’s Night of the Living Dead in 1968. These zombies were the slow moving, staggering ghouls that one has seen in countless films, but in 1985, Return of the Living Dead featured a new kind of zombie, the first fast moving and talking ghoul. Both Night of the Living dead 1968 and Return of the Living Dead 1985 feature the zombie as its villain, but Return of the living dead’s fast moving, talking zombies are a more modern take on the movie monster.

     Some say that people never change. They may be right, but no one really knows. What people do know is that every living person has one thing in common, something that will never change. Everyone will die, there’s no way around it. Every “new” and “old” generation will succumb to the same ghastly fate. The differences in the “old” generation and “new” generation sometimes collide in life. The contrast between generations in James Joyce’s “The Dead” is similar to the contrast in the generations today. The “baby boomer” generation is the old fashioned generation preoccupied with hospitality and tradition, where as, “generation x” is the new generation, preoccupied with knowledge and intellect.

O’Brien culminates The Things They Carried with “The Lives of the Dead,” which includes a story about a girl named Linda that is at first seemingly unrelated to the overall plot. O’Brien discusses the story of Linda, a girl who he fell in love with in elementary school who succumbed to cancer. He had a deep connection with her, and found himself relishing sleep so he could dream endlessly about Linda. O’Brien then connects this story to those revolving the occurrences of Vietnam. He reveals yet another purpose of telling war stories: not to simply show readers what war in Vietnam was like, but to “revive…that which is absolute and unchanging” (O’Brien 224). Telling war stories serves as a way of “making the dead seem not quite so dead” (O’Brien

They were robots. We arrived at the doors and I was let into the room. The doors quickly shut behind me. The walls of the room were white, just like everything else in the facility. There were about seven people in the room sitting in their assigned seats and ready for the therapy session. I ignored the entire lecture because the therapist’s voice was so boring and monotone. I just couldn’t force myself to listen to him. After the session was over and an hour of my life was wasted, I hurried out of the room with the other seven Underlying Criminals. I dawdled throughout the facility and trudged down the stairs until I saw a man standing at the bottom of the staircase. He must’ve been a patient at the facility too because he was wearing all white, just like me. I walked down the stairs and just as soon as he heard my booming footsteps, he frantically ran away. Like the fool I am, I ran down the stairs after him. A door that read “Staff Only” stood feet away from me glistening under a dim light. I put my hand on the cold doorknob and twisted it. Surprisingly, it opened. The room was pitch black, so I scanned my fingers across the wall until I found a light switch. It was cold in here, as if it were a giant freezer. Eventually, I found a switch and I turned it on. The lights brightened and there were hundreds of caskets. It was like a small graveyard in here. I tip-toed to one of the caskets. You could see through the top. Dates were attached to the sides. The numbers was the date that they died. People were in there, no, not just any other people, I knew them. One of them was my neighbor, I remember him coming here for therapy. Then another was a girl in my class. She came here because she robbed a bank. One of the faces looked oddly familiar. Finally, it hit me. It was Adrian in one of the caskets. Why would anyone do this to people? There was therapy provided here so that people

Octavio Paz discusses the topic of Mexican fiestas and the effects they have on an individual and on the society in "The Day of the Dead." He sees that the fiestas help individuals break free from the "normal" life they live, in which they have to restrain themselves from being who they truly are to fit into society's perception of what is orthodox. Moreover, he claims that fiestas engage the society by permitting anything, in which "customary hierarchies vanish, along with ll social, sex, caste, and trade distinctions" (Paz 3) by reconciling the past and the future (Paz 1). He implies that anyone can be whoever or whatever they want to be, giving each person the freedom to exist without being prejudiced against for a certain amount of time

One day two people named Jamal Jemelton and Lithen Klith. Jamal had a perfect Afro that never got messed up and Lithen had a sweet flat top. They had heard that there was an abandoned school near by and they had nothing else to do, so they went to the store and bought some flashlights to check it out. When they arrived at the building, it looked extremely sketchy. They entered the building through the front doors and the doors stayed open for a while, but after a minute or two, the doors slammed shut and locked. They turned the flashlights on and headed into the building. They saw the words written in either catchup or blood. BEWARE OF THE FLOATING KNIFE AND NOTEBOOKS.That freaked them out just a little bit but they thought nothing of it.

As the last story of James Joyce's short story collection, The Dubliners, "The Dead" is about a young Dubliner's one day of attending his aunts' party and his emotional changes after the party ends. In the paralyzed city the young man feels the atmosphere of death everywhere. And he often has misunderstandings with people, especially women including his wife. From the main character Gabriel's experience, we can see his personal life is in a strained circumstances. This difficult situation is probably caused by his failure to deal with the relationship with the female characters. Many events happen in the story prove that he can not get a real freedom until he understands the value of woman to improve the mutual relationship.

Of course, most people don’t believe in the undead, and for good reason. Some people who claim to be Vampires or Vampire hunters are in fact only doing it to get attention, such as the Dogs Of War “vampire hunting group” who later admitted to being frauds.(www.choronzon.com) There are also many conflicting ideas of what a vampire is, or on definitions of vampires. Vourdalak vampires, for instance, are always female, whereas, while females are more commonly vampires, it is by no means a rule in other folklore. (Vampire Grimoire) The Zmeu, on the other hand, is completely ridiculous creature, being a candle flame which took the form of a beautiful man to seduce women. (Vampire Grimoire) This is so far removed from other vampires it should
