Disgust

The phrase “don’t judge a book by its cover” usually means the cover of the book could mislead the actual meaning of the text. Just like that if the author states that the genre of the book is supposed to be horror doesn’t mean it is actually horror. Audience could view the novel or the text different ways. Certain genre has certain rules and criteria that they need to follow in order to create that genre. In “The Yellow Wallpaper” by Charlotte Perkins Gilman, she shows how the narrator who may or

and me in our small house. When I first wrote this chapter it was short and did not include anything about my Uncle John’s family. It wasn’t until I started having flashbacks and doing EMDR that the memories started flooding in with overwhelming disgust that I had to rewrite this chapter. I remember details of My Uncle John’s house as if it were yesterday. We were over there visiting, and at some point,

killing that occurs between us, yet he still goes ahead and does it himself. He contradicts himself and is a hypocrite. In his second encounter with a human, the monster enters a home of a shepherd, who with one look at him, runs away in fear and disgust. The monster then enters a

The Bum Hole is the most disturbing and confusing place in Davie. My best friend Khazi and I were hanging out one Friday afternoon during summer break. While making plans, we got a call from our mutual friend, Conor. Conor found out about the Bum Hole through a couple of friends before the school year ended. I could hear the anticipation in his voice when he said, “There’s this dark, creepy place just on the outskirts of Davie”. We decided to invite our friend Andrew because he is always up for an

Emotions “No PDA!” I will continue to hear through out my day when I went from class to class at the midst of passing period during high school and middle school. I never knew what teachers meant by saying that until they would start to get on my case about showing some affection to the girlfriend I had at that time. That was when I learned that “PDA” abbreviates Public Display of Affection and one of the first times I learned an American display rule. At the same time, I believe some manners may

In Frankenstein, by Mary Shelley, Victor Frankenstein creates a creature, stronger and better than humans in every way except his looks. After Frankenstein abandons him, the Creature meets the De Lacey’s, a nice little family that indirectly teach him how to read and write. In truth, the Creature only becomes a monster after the hatred that Felix, one of the De Lacey’s, shows him. Before, he had done nothing wrong, but afterwards, all he did was fall down a slippery slope. When the Creature first

While she was singing, Toddy came in to the bar she was performing. His first action when he arrived was to kiss the woman’s hand as a sign of salute. The bar’s owner expression was of disgust towards Victoria’s performance and her voice; he was turning his eyes and throwing ash from his cigarette in the ashtray as a sign of dislike and antipathy during her performance. When she finished, everybody applauded smiling because she did it great

She couldn’t stand it any longer. She looked at the lips of a boy, and read what he was saying to another boy. They say that the Prayer Man is real, he told his assumed to be friend, and that boy nodded in agreement. I don’t think so, said the other boy, shaking his head slightly and then looking back at his friend with a small sense of curiosity. Why would we just hear about him now, and how did anyone know that he exists? I’m not sure, but I want to think that he’s real. I mean, I would like for

The Creation in Frankenstein did not owe Victor anything. Victor did the monster wrong by creating him in the first place. The monster went through so many hardships by being an outcast and a looser. But to top it all off he felt abandoned and lost because when his creator first saw him he freaked out and ran away and locked himself in his room.
