With both twins now asleep Rae and Will laid them in their bassinets. Will was smiling down on Shimmer’s sleeping face. “I hope my labor and delivery is as stress-free as yours.” Rae reached over taking Will’s arm directing her back to the settee. “I found out that as a Mate all my labors and deliveries will be tranquil, River has theorized that it is because Saint Valentine had created the Mate specifically to have the Vampire’s babies, in order for his creation to prosper.” Rae patted Will’s hand

Is there anybody in the world who wouldn’t be afraid of being turned into a half human- half bug creature? There are some brave people out there, but no, there most likely isn’t anyone out there that wouldn’t want to express even the slightest bit of emotion. In the story The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka, Gregor has a very large fear of alienation after he suddenly turns into some sort of demonic-looking giant bug. He craves human attention, and so whenever he finds himself alone for a period of

Over 6 million Jews died once Hitler came to power, an event that came to be known as the Holocaust. Adolf Hitler had grown up learning that Jews were bad. This is where we think he got the idea to blame them for Germany’s loss in World War 2. Anne Frank and 7 other Jewish people went into hiding shortly after Margot, Anne’s sister, got a letter asking her to report to a Jewish work camp. They were hiding for 25 months, until they were discovered on the 4th of August in 1944, everybody was arrested

“Well, don’t you look like the cat that ate the canary” Angelique said as she sailed from the bedroom to the settee in the parlor of her townhouse. “I could say the same about you,” I replied, referring to her English lover. “You know nothing about Thomas Neville; do not judge him simply because I am married to your father. Thomas and I go back a long ways - actually, he is the reason I am married to your father.” When she saw that I was listening, she continued. “I was about your age when Thomas

In traditional hard-boiled American detective fiction there are many themes that seem to transcend all novels. One of those themes is the concept of power and the role in which it plays in the interaction and development of characters. More specifically, the role of women within the novels can be scrutinized to better understand the power they hold over the other characters, their own lives and the direction of the story. Dashiell Hammett’s The Maltese Falcon exemplifies the varying ways in which

Evaluation of The Silence Of The Lambs The film which I am evaluating is called "The Silence of the Lambs" and is based on Thomas Harris' novel and is directed by Jonathan Demme. The film was shot in Pittsburgh and is set in West Virginia. In the making of this film careful research was carried out in bringing each character to life especially Jame "Buffalo Bill" Gumb. This included the actors being at crime scenes and viewing files about previous serial killers in order

I live in a country where I can meet people from all cultures and walks of life on a daily basis, yet still I have felt like a stranger in this “melting pot”. In the United States, the idea of diversity is a term I have heard many times when speaking of ways to heal the past of slavery and segregation, but I think that in the current political climate, diversity is seen as an enemy to the American way of life. I am an outsider in the country I call home, and my cultural background has impacted the

The most important thing we have in life is family. They are considered to always have your back and protect and love you no matter what happens. In “Metamorphosis”, Gregor only has love for his sister. Grete also has the same love her brother who she can look up to. In the beginning, Grete shows protection over her brother because of his illness, but overtime she begins to feel that her brother is fading away. Up until Gregor’s death, she believed that he was no longer her brother as the insect

Abduction By Mia Christiansen 1) Abduction is a short story written by Shelagh Delaney in 2002. From the beginning the story takes place in Manchester, but the scene changes to Kensington in London and tells us about a woman named Ann, the main character. The title of the story Abduction describes the story very well. Ann “abducts” her younger brother, who has just left school to live with her in London.
