The Banshee, originally known as the Irish fairy creature, originated in the Celtic Isles of Ireland, Scotland, and Great Britain. This legend has been passed down through generations due to its persistent haunting nature. The angry female spirit flies several feet above the ground at night terrifying people with her ghostly screams. A Banshees’ high pitched shrieking foresees the death of someone shortly to come.

Ghostly representations of “the other” imagine a social evil that has not been put to rest. These images reoccur in the Western canon, marking the persistence of slavery long after its abolition. Haunting, ghosts and skeletons in Benito Cereno act as a vehicle through which the suppressed return to the stage with a message. The ghosts carry with them all that the imperialists wanted to control, including emotions, and more precisely, the emotions of the oppressed. I argue that ghosts and skeletons comprise an area of tension in which the appearance of the “other” reveals that the dominant party’s control is incomplete. Yet, the presence is merely ghostly due to the constant policing and lack of respect for the Other. These ghosts also break through the boundaries of the dominant culture’s paradigms and identities (Harpham 17), signaling potential political crisis. This text signals the fear of the retaliation of the Other through ghostly representations by projecting on to the other, their own identities of brutality and irrationality. “Benito Cereno” by Herman Melville overturns the racist images of the colonized by relocating evil in the order of slavery. Hauntings carry the perspectives and powers of the slaves by preserving the dead amidst the living and the past amidst the present, they muddle up the concept of time and therefore defy the Western dream of complete control.

Jane seems like a nice lady. She has mental issues and tries to deal with them but she has to bottle them up and pretend her depression is only mild. No one really knows what goes on inside her head.

Have you ever felt like you don’t stand out or felt plain? Well so has Jane, main jane to be exact whenever she moves to a new town Kent Waters nobody stands out. It's a very plain little town filled with lots of plain people but Jane wants to change that when she meets three other Janes and befriends them they make secret plans to make the town not so plain any more. When they do make plans, Jane has a hard time trusting them that they will be there or that anyone even likes her because Jane was in a very traumatic terrorist attack before she moved to Kent Waters from Metro city. A bomb went off right be side her and John doe who she doesn't know but is in in a coma and who she feels very attached to because she saved him and he went through the same thing she did. This is why Jane shows her traumatic experience in such public ways.

Following this dramatic scene, there are many situations in which her individualism can again be sensed. During her stay at Lowood Jane is emotionally subdued and her personality is in many ways suppressed. It is not until after Miss Temple, the person that seemed to shine light on the school, leaves that Jane realizes the restrictions that she is under. It is at his point that she has the sudden urge to leave the confinements of the school, seek a job as a governess, and experience the “varied fields of hopes and fears,

The way Jane acted and her personality was one of the biggest reasons why I could connect with her. Her performance as a quiet and independent teen was outstanding. When I am with my family I usually independent and quiet just like her. The way she spoke to her mother and her reaction to things that was happening around her was something I can related to. I would probably do the same thing as Jane if I saw my mother and brother kissing.

The author to me was sad, but yet joyful in that she went on to an Ivy League School-Harvard, when everything around was screwed up. She was angry at times because of her parents and yet sad for them to. She was confused at why her parents would choose drugs over her and why everything bad and good was happening to her.

That leads us into the main conflict. Finding one's place in the world and discovering who you truly are. Because of Jane’s mother dying while she was so small, she was very disconnected to her family history in Coney. When they move in there is already another family who has it out for her and her brother. Jane also has a lot of internal conflict with her confidence, she can’t comfortably hang out with the more outcasted students in the high school. She doesn’t like when people even stare at the group. When she finally discovers how to join the “Dreamland Social Club” it begins to turn gears in her head about what she thinks of herself. The opening survey of questions are: “What's your earliest memory? What sound makes you happy? What was the last dream

The ruckus from the bottom of the truck is unbearable, because of the noise and excessive shaking. As we slowly climbed the mountain road to reach our lovely cabin, it seemed almost impossible to reach the top, but every time we reached it safely. The rocks and deep potholes shook the truck and the people in it, like a paint mixer. Every window in the truck was rolled down so we could have some leverage to hold on and not loose our grip we needed so greatly. The fresh clean mountain air entered the truck; it smelt as if we were lost: nowhere close to home. It was a feeling of relief to get away from all the problems at home. The road was deeply covered with huge pines and baby aspen trees. Closely examining the

Jane in her younger years was practically shunned by everyone and was shown very little love and compassion, from this throughout her life she searches for these qualities through those around her. Due to Jane’s mother’s disinheritance she was disowned by Mrs. Reed and her children, and was treated like a servant consistently reminded that she lacked position and wealth.

At first, she appears unruly and undisciplined however she shows her versatility and soon adapts to the strict regime. For the first time, Jane meets a friend, Helen Burns. She is amazed at Helen's restraint and acceptance of unjust punishment, "Burns made no answer: I wondered at her silence. " In these three, very similar occurrences in Jane's early years, we can establish through passionate outburst and a reluctance to be intimidated that Jane was most definitely a strong, female, central character. "You are too compulsive; too vehement!"

Carla went to a party in a neighborhood that was not familiar to her. The host of the party was only introduced a week ago through a mutual friend. After entering the party and looking around, she noticed that none of her friends had yet arrived. This was not a problem for her, taking off her coat and grabbing a drink, she introduced herself to the other people at the party until her friends arrived. At the end of the night, she felt very energized and happy. Connor arrived at the same party shortly after Carla. He had not really even wanted to come to the party, but Cara and his other friends had convinced him. He entered the house and could not see anyone he knew, so he decided to wait in the quieter part of the room until his other friends arrived. Connor had fun at the party, but after it had ended he was tired decided to go straight to bed when he arrived at home without talking to anyone else. Both of these characters arrived at a party. The difference between the two friends lies in their personality types: Carla was an extrovert, or a person who is “concerned primarily with the physical and social environment.” In contrast, Connor was an introvert, or a person who is “characterized by concern primarily with his or her own thoughts and feelings.” According to twentieth-century psychologist Carl Jung, humanity can be divided into these two main personality types. The differences between these two personality types can be found biologically, socially, and behaviorally.

There 's that look people get told they have, where they look like they 've seen a ghost. I want to know what it means to have that feeling but knowing you 're the ghost. It had been too long since I stepped foot anywhere near these parts of the city. After I turned and changed into who I am now, I never wanted to risk getting seen by any members of the family that runs this part. That is actually a good reason they have never been able to extend their territory any further. It 's kind of easy to hear when a gang war is about to break out for someone to gain new ground. And for me, it 's all too easy to join the defending family and help kill men you were once friends with to make sure you had the room to run fucking wild. I 'm made a few good friends, nah I made a few bad acquaintances by doing that. The men that run other parts of this city know me by who I am now, only one knows me by who I was. Maybe it 's for the best he knows Big Mac is against him, less likely that it 's me behind the mask then. God, in those days, before I grew up and found out doing everything I was getting told to do, without being told to do them was so much better, Claire not counting, she just above another voice in my head. But the freedom I have, may not seem like a good thing for the city and its people, but I love being me and only this me.
