The Mystery Of The Vampire Diaries

Half my friends laughing, the other half following quickly behind to see what’s going on. In between hanging up the phone with my mom and making it to the bathroom with no one behind me anymore, I realized, wow I’m a spoiled brat who got handed everything and reality came and bit my butt hard. I didn’t really need that sweater. Or the necklace I had bought earlier or even those to die for shoes I was drooling over. With this new sense of maturity, I went and returned all those things I didn’t need. When I got home I walk right into my mom’s room handed her the $250 I had just got back, from all the things I “needed” so badly, and told her,” You know mom, what you said was kind of mean but thanks.” She refused to accept my mom so when she wasn’t looking I put it in her purse later that

My friends were cracking up because they knew these females loved to talk but we were always about action. We all knew what was going to take place after school without even saying it. It was now time for us to split up and go to our next class. We would see each other later in the day at lunch so this wasn’t a big deal. As I head down the hallway and make my way to the second floor I hear a loud Yo! coming from the opposite end of the hallway. By this time I was thinking the hallway was empty because I was a minute late for class just because I took the long way there. I turned around to see who was making the noise. It was one of the boys that wasn’t even supposed to be on our floor. He was a junior and I was a freshman so we were always separated by floors. I kept walking because my name wasn’t yo so he couldn’t have been talking to me. He ran up behind me and grabbed me by my waist. I resisted and turned to him and said; “Why are you touching me Tank?” He stared at me and started laughing. I looked at him and said; “What’s funny?’’ He said in his deep raspy voice , “You acting like I can’t touch you.” I said to him “You can’t I don’t know you like that for you to be touching on me and grabbing me.” I turned away from him and continued on my way to class. Half way down the hallway I see a group of boys who looked like they didn’t belong. As I got

Mother and I agree to make Oreo cupcakes, candy kabobs, m&m cookies, chocolate chip cookies, and trail mix. I had to work that afternoon and wouldn’t arrive home until nine at night, but mom wasn’t going to start with out me. I got off work smelling like pizza dough, and exhausted, but I knew I had work to be done for the bake sale. While mom was baking the Oreo cup cakes I was putting together candy kabobs. My gloves where all gooey from positioning all the gummy candy on the fondue stick, and my fingers where aching from the twist ties that where used hold the bags together. The good thing was the whole house was full of over whelming smells of cupcakes, cookies, candy, and icing. Finally, my mom and I finished, so we got everything packed up and prepared for the morning of the bake sale. I couldn’t wait to go to bed. We arrived early at seven in the morning to arrange the booth. The booth looked amazing, I just wanted to eat everything that was on the table. When all the booths were ready to go, families began approaching the booth buying our baked goods. The children really enjoyed the candy kabobs. All the kids were walking around with gummy, sticky faces, and kept returning to buy more. Those sold out fast! From eight o’clock a.m. to four o’clock in the afternoon, I stood on my feet trying to get folks to come over and contribute

Vampires are very present in today’s society. Many novels and shows, like Twilight and The Vampire Diaries, show that vampires are still integral to our culture. However, the birth of such a cultural phenomenon would not have happened without Dracula. Without Bram Stoker’s novel, there would be no stereotypical vampires that capture the culture’s conscious. Aside from telling a story on vampires, Dracula also explores ideals about the women of the time in which it was written, which is the Victorian Era.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer directed by Joss Whedon was an American television series which came to air on March the 10th, 1997 until the last season in May, 2003. Buffy the Vampire Slayer was based on a young woman named Buffy Summers, who battled against vampires and demons in her hometown Sunnydale. Buffy was depicted as a strong female role model who was extremely loyal to her sister Dawn and her best friend Willow. She also gained a lot of power through fighting the vampires and demons, again showing her strong female role modelling in the series. Buffy was also a good listener to Giles her watcher/mentor and surrogate father figure, many of the techniques he taught her helped with her strength when fighting against the demons. Some of the features and film devices used to describe Buffy as a character included the camera angles and shots as well as the lighting techniques. These film devices and techniques were used throughout the series to help present Buffy as a strong female character. Buffy can also be compared to other strong fictional female role models such as, Katniss Everdeen from The Hunger Games (22ndMarch 2012), and a slightly weaker character, Elle Woods from Legally Blonde (11thOctober 2001). Consequently, Katniss was presented as a great role model because her qualities were admired and she was hard to like by other characters in the story, she also comes across as tough and hostile, whereas Elle was able to face challenges of being labelled as ‘the dumb

I got out of school full of joy because it was Friday and we were going camping that evening. My sister picked me up, which was a little weird, but she is 34 and has picked me up from school before. On the way to my house, where my sister would drop me off, I was talking to my niece about her ballet recital that was happening in a couple of days. When we got home, my mom’s car wasn’t in the driveway, which is really strange since we get out of school at 2:30, and my mom gets off work at 2:00. I walked inside, set all my stuff down, and went to the basement to play with my nephew and niece. A few moments later my sister called us all upstairs, and said “We have to go, Josh is hurt.”
