From the start of independence, the question of the process of career selection has stumbled teens across the globe. Whether the outcome be based on the amount of money, the location, or even the very few who find their true passion, no one has a definitive idea on what they will pursue. Richard Van Camp’s main character, Leo, is faced with the same dilemma. Van Camp's short story, “The Strongest Blood”, explores the use of symbolism, brought through by money, the conflicts in which influence career decision, and the use of pathos to evoke an emotional connection to the reality of the world.

Soon the moonlight illuminated the scenery. As I was standing on the balcony admiring the scenery something finally went wrong, a huge black cloud covered the moon. I soon heard the thunder. It seemed to be nothing to worry about, so I didn’t acknowledge it. A few hours later the thunder grew louder and I could see the flashes of lightning headed our way. I went inside to inform my parents of the weather, but they didn’t seem to worry about it much until the cloud was almost over the lodge. My family and I left the reception alone while everyone else stayed in cover; they were the smart ones I thought.

One dark, howling night in October, I was camping at Lake Greeson all alone. It was freezing. I felt as if I opened the tent there would be ten feet of snow. The campfire needed to be put out before I went to bed.

The gothic genre is a style of writing that is characterized by components of horror, disquietude, death and romance. There are many conventions to the gothic genre which indulges details on gothic architecture, spirituality and lucid descriptions in the first person along with dialogues. It is widely accepted that both the novella, ‘Carmilla’ and the short stories from ‘The Bloody Chamber’ include these aspects of gothic literature. Patriarchal dominance is often defined as a system of male domination and in gothic fiction it is traditional for the male to in fact save the weak and fragile female out of danger; further dominating his role. Although ‘Carmilla’ was written during the Victorian Era, one would aspect a male dominated patriarchal system to be followed, but Le Fanu doesn’t succumb to the traditional but in fact subverts it by casting the ‘villain’ as female who preys on young and vulnerable women ultimately for power. However, where ‘Carmilla’ does indeed follow the traditional gothic horror narrative where the victims are always presented as succumbing to a temptation that inevitably, has metaphysical consequences; in ‘Carmilla’ the victims die from an unknown malady. 'The Bloody Chamber’ reviews on how unimpeachable fairy tales encompass strong socio-political undertones such as gender roles and presents the nameless heroine as woman whom is capable of changing her fate, whereby she doesn’t die like the other wives. Similarly, in ‘Carmilla’ it can also be

“Are we there yet are we there yet?” My brother screamed into my ear. I turned around half awake and quickly said “no”. For some reason I was completely freezing and I looked out my window and saw snow. Finally the little cogs in my brain started turning and I realized that I was in Lake Tahoe. My family takes a trip to Lake Tahoe every winter and we were almost there. My brother turning five this year it would probably be the first trip he remembers. What seemed like an eternity later we finally arrived at our hotel. Just like every 10 year old I was pretending to be asleep when we arrived so my dad would carry me into our room. Unfortunately it was about -100000 degrees and I was only wearing a pair of pants and short sleeves. My dad was carrying me for so long I actually fell asleep and then awoke the next day.

It was the day with cloudy, the sky was gloomy and dark. It was in the morning and we went to go play soccer in the cemetery. As we were on the way to the cemetery, the street was quiet and the wind was howling very cloud. Twenty minutes went by, the street became dimmer as we get closer to the cemetery.

Then the world began shutting down. The airports, which was awful because our Mom was still in Utah, visiting her sister. The schools, which was great for the first day, and good for the second, and then as time went on it became less enjoyable and less fun. The roads were impossible so the fridge was emptying quickly. We couldn’t watch television because Channel 5 covered the blizzard all day. A motorist, dead of exposure in a stranded car. A man, dead of a heart

It was dark out side the only that helped me see was the night sky. Like ever once a month there was the night sky with a big beautiful round moon. It shined down on me an guided me threw the night. I had my hood on so know one could see my eyes. On the night of the full moon and the stary night sky my eyes would glow yellow my hands would shift.

My mom and brother were waiting for me sitting in the chair. It was a cold winter day so I put on my big winter coat and big boots, that absorbed me .We walked out of the school and went in the car, are black car looked like it turned white with all the snow, with are snowy footprints trailing behind us, “It was as cold as Antarctica “ I said to my mom

The dusk rolled around, the sky had a few, small, white clouds drifting around, but nothing that covered the view of the sun which set with vibrant colors of red, orange, yellow, purple, and reflected off the water and sand around us.

After that we sat in silence for about 20 minutes until the cold began to nip at my feet and the tips of my fingers which made me very restless but I tried to do my best so I would not scare away the deer. When we hit the 60 minute mark I was bored out of my mind, I thought I would go crazy, but suddenly my Father grabbed my coat and pointed out Words the west side of the field that we were watching. I
