which George goes to bed and wakes up again at 3:15 in the morning. As a result of that, the three paragraphs about Father Mancuso within this section seem out of place and pointless since it is not what the author is trying to explain. Also, when Anson explains how “Kathy washed out her percolator, filled it and plugged it in” (34), these details are unnecessary because ultimately, this scene is about how Kathy “sensed someone was staring at her” (34) and is “scared half to death” (34) by Missy’s

It was the summer of 1983; I was reading my first Horror novel by Jay Anson “The Amityville Horror”, it was the scariest thing I had ever picked up. Despite the late hours I continued to read into the early morning hours until my eyes burned for relief. Whenever I got up to use the rest room I would stand on the end of my bed lean over and open the door and jump so not to be grabbed by monsters that might be laying in wait under my bed. This started a long love affair for horror stories. For instance

utterly stunned as to my findings that Villette was indeed a novel filled with references to the realms of the unearthly. I began to imagine methods by which I can show some connections of supernatural elements between Charlotte Bronte’s Villette and Jay Anson’s The Amityville Horror. My obvious intent of finding the connections between these two works written during two different time periods seemed to become the focus of my research into something that I found the results of my investigation to be

experiences shaped his work up to and even after The Great Gatsby, which is considered to be Fitzgerald’s greatest work. Fitzgerald is known for his damaged and struggling Jazz Age characters, including Dexter Green from Winter Dreams, who resembles Jay Gatsby, the protagonist of The Great Gatsby. Both, self-made men, are keen

are cruel and selfish. I’ve heard that the career tributes usually get ahold of all the food early on and work from there. Honestly, I don’t care that much about the career tributes since I only want to spy on them and get information. The mocking jays wake me up from

Before the birds had all their wonderful colors they had nothing but black and brown feathers. They all felt unsatisfied with their feathers and wanted to have their own feathers that were different. All the birds wanted to stand out from each other and not be the same. So they wondered what could they do to change their feathers. Jaybird always saw the forget-me-nots that were on the outskirts of the forest and desired their colors. “Oh how I wish for their wonderful blue!” she exclaimed. So

This environment provides a home to many different species that stay in this national park, for example birds, rabbits, insects, etc. During the morning at Mesa Verde, the pinyon jay and the Steller jay perch on the branches of the Colorado pinyon pine or Utah juniper that are found all throughout the woodlands. They sit there motionless, waiting and watching for little insects to wake up and start moving around on the ground. The famished

He spotted up…. BANG!  Jay just got a

I traced the knife over the scars before finally digging in, before breaking the skin. I watched as a tiny bubble of blood appear and fall to the floor and the skin begins to break and join it's former neighbor. The stinging pain lingers on the skin I had just traced over. I hiss out in pain when the warm water flows over the recently opened cut. The blood circles around the drain and the stained water finally disappears.

society. "People generally see what they look for, and hear what they listen for..."(232) This quote represents how people view mockingbirds and blue jays. Although there are many shameless ‘mockingbirds’ the two that stand out the most are, of course, Tom Robinson and Boo Radley. Unlike the several ‘mockingbird’ characters, there is one clear blue jay, which is Bob Ewell. Representing the symbol of the mockingbird, Tom Robinson and Boo Radley are significantly impacted by Bob Ewell, the symbolic bluejay
