Planchette

My sister looks at me with boredom as I scroll through my phone. The house was basically empty with only us in the house since my parents in a “car accident.” I walk upstairs throwing my body onto the bed, letting my eyes get heavy slowly drifting into sleep... I jolt up putting my hand on my head. It had seemed like somebody had shrieked out loud which made me wake up. I hear it again, a loud, painful shriek from downstairs. “Sonya?” I call out my younger sister...no answer. With no clue of what’s

Part 1: The earliest Demons The story of Demons started in the bible, God created angels and gave them free-will to do whatever they would like, just as he did for humans. God created these angels to be good, not evil, but they did have a choice to be either. One of these angels who seemed especially powerful decided to go against god, this ‘angel’ was referred to as Lucifer, Satan and the devil. The devil told the other angels about his decision to go against God, although most of them didn’t agree

I still remember this night as if it was just the other day. It was freshman year and Bob Duncan, the most popular kid in the grade, had rented a house for his Halloween party. This would be the best party of the year, or so everyone thought. Here is my story of Halloween Night, 2013. <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>< “Party starts at 5:00, what are you wearing?” Everybody was so excited for Halloween. The day before, which was a Thursday, everybody was talking

The movie, Awakenings, by Penny Marshall is an excellent story because it is based on a true story and to me real events are always more powerful than fiction. The movie seems to depict a particular disease and the drug used to treat it very accurately. The film is based upon the book with the same name, which was written by Dr.Oliver Sacks. “This paper will be presenting the powerful depiction of medical ethics and the value of existence.” The film Awakenings is testimony to the dream

After living in her world of darkness, Eleanor accepts Dr. Montague’s invitation to research the paranormal perception of Hill House for a summer. Although Eleanor’s feeling is conflicted by the death of her mother, she is extremely contented with the fact that she is freed from her prisoned life. It is time for self-discovery. As she drives up to Hill House, she would joyfully imagine a different her with a different family, in which she would meet many great people and would be enjoying her simple

of the spirits Zilpha heard occurred (Chaucer, Caesar, Poe, and Marlowe). A hyperbole appeared when the term nonsense was being repeated "nonsense…. never heard of and no word for." Other terms were Archaism and Anacoluthon. In the poem the word planchette is used to describe what we call today the arrow on the Ouija board and when the poem describes stricken fields, it is referring to barren fields; both of these examples are Archaisms. An example of an Anacoluthon would be "You talk nonsense to

1. Mary Shelley 's Frankenstein tells the story of a man 's desire to control life itself. Victor Frankenstein 's main goal is his own glory and power. He desires like Prometheus before him to take something that is reserved for the god 's and make it of use to men. Victor is unable to control this new found power and it eventually destroys him.

“The Great Divorce” narrates of a bizarre marriage between a living and a dead, who being unable to communicate are forced to turn to a medium as a last resort. The relationship between "Alan Robley (living) and Lavvie Tyler (deceased)" has never been easier and with the passing of time the distance between the two has become insurmountable (Link 173). The medium tries in vain to act as a bridge in a relationship now consumed by misunderstandings rooted into diametrically opposed cultures. In this

Beginnings and History The history of Daoism can befittingly be separated into four periods: Proto-Daoism, Classical Daoism, Modern Daoism and Contemporary Daoism. The first period, Proto-Daoism, spans the time from antiquity all the way to the 2nd century C.E. The intention behind this period being called "proto-Daoism" is that we have no information of any official Daoist religious organizations at this time. The classic works that were inscribed in the course of this period, the Daode jing
