Hardy Gadget Monologue

The rain had just stopped pouring, and we had all gathered in a park nearby, as a makeshift memorial for Johnny. It wasn’t really a funeral, we didn’t have the budget for that, and it wasn’t like his parents cared enough to give him a proper goodbye.

I kept writing. It was hard, but I could get everything off of my chest. I could explain to people what had happened to me. I could tell my English teacher. It was a little hard, but I didn’t cry. I couldn’t cry. Greasers didn’t cry.

Greg Heffley goes back to when he was a baby in his moms stomach and tells how he would love to go back……...but when he comes out, its a whole new world. Greg goes through so much in his years of life, and one day, he has a school dance that everyone is going to and he wasn't going to miss it. He had Rowley Jefferson be his wingman, which I personally think that is a wrong choice. Rowley tries to get girls to like greg by saying how strong and handsome he is, but will it work? Almost every girl in gregs school is taken, and half of the girls thinks greg is a dork and doesn't want to go with him. Just then this girls abigail doesn't have a date to the dance and what do you think rowley did? well i think u guys dont need me to tell you. Greg

“Sometimes the really scary bloodsuckers are entirely human” (Foster 18). In How To Read Literature Like a Professor, Foster argues that vampires in literature are not always actual vampires, but can be figurative as well: “Using other people to get what we want. Placing our desires above the needs of others...as long as people act toward their fellows in exploitative and selfish ways, the vampire will be” (Foster 22). In essence, Foster illustrates that the act of using others to attain one’s personal goal is analogous to a vampire sucking the blood out of it’s victim. Foer’s protagonist in Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, Oskar, also shows these vampiric tendencies in his goal of learning about his father’s key. “‘Actually, I’m diabetic

My friends, I come before you today to warn you of the danger that has befallen our town. Here tonight, I have discovered the threat of a vampire lurking in our town and while he is alive, none of us are safe from him. Already four people have been bitten. Think of the children! Your children are in mortal danger so long as this vampire. I have proof of this. Two children have been bitten by our own Ms. Westenra. Alas, as much as we attempted to save her from such a fate as she was destined, we could not. It was too late to see what was truly going on and the true danger she was in. She managed to escape and bit two children without our knowledge until we were unable to do anything about it. How many more children must die before you follow me into battle against this vampire? How many more nights must you lie awake in your beds in fear of this vampire? How much longer will you watch from the side before you take action against this threat to our very survival? No longer should any of you do such a thing. We all ought to rise up together and defeat this monster. For our children, I say we must do something. Count Dracula runs amok in our town. Unless we join together to defeat this common enemy of ours, our town will fall, our memory forgotten to the rest of the world. For how long can you sit and wait, believing that you will not be harmed by the count? You, and your children, will not escape any of this until he is dead. So I say to you now, follow me

On October 30th, I went to see The Real Inspector Hound written by Tom Stoppard and directed by Luke Hoover. The play begins with the two critics Moon and Birdboot entering the stage and taking their seats for the play. They discuss work and their personal life before the first police report. These police reports are an example of foreshadowing to the appearance of the Inspector Hound. The rising action would be the internal struggles that Moon and Birdboot are having.

I, Brom Bones, am pretending to be the headless horseman to run Ichabod Crane out of town. I am dressed in a old military uniform, with my black horse. My head is tucked under my jacket with holes cut in it for eyes. He took the love of my life from me, and I will do anything to get her back no matter what the cost. There is so much rage built up that I don’t know what to do with it, I have never experienced this kind of torture in my heart.

You’re probably wondering what I did. Well, where do I start? Let me begin on the day my little brain came up with this supposedly brilliant idea. It was on a summer’s afternoon and the sun was gleaming

With Halloween being right around the corner, children are preparing for ABC’s “Thirteen Nights of Halloween,” parents are picking up pumpkins to celebrate the Celtic holiday, and the urge for a good horror story is emerging. The monster, such as vampires or zombies, is taking the spotlight and it’s hard to ignore. From Dante’s Inferno to Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, being frightened has not only been one of people’s favorite pastimes, but a way for us to explain the paranormal and unrevealed. In recent times however, there seems to be a shift from demonic creatures of the night to over sexualized human-like creatures who hide amongst us in the day. In this essay, I will show the gradual humanizing of the vampire and how it has morphed from a demonic creature damned by God into a creature with a big heart that is not much different from us.

Twenty years ago Jimmy Wells wanted to meet me at this place twenty years from now. Now he has caught me because he knew I was a thief .

In “Nicaragua’s Vampire Problem” Tim Rogers informs the reader about “vampires” haunting a village in Nicaragua. He describes in great detail the terror people in the village have for these pesky bloodsuckers. Rogers uses narration and description to illustrate the problem and find the solution.

The generalization for vampires has been displayed in films and literature for hundreds of years. The stereotypical versions of vampires are that they have long fangs, sleep in coffins during the day, and suck the blood out of humans. Both novels contradict those stereotypes in different ways. To understand the diversity of the vampires described in both novels, one must examine the characteristics that the vampires display and the meaning and purpose behind them. David D. Gilmore’s book “Monsters” analyzes monsters and other mythical creatures. Gilmore describes why humanity invented the idea of
