Frankenstein and True Blood: Discovering the Gothic Defining what the gothic is can be tough. It’s one of those words that most people think they have a grasp on in their mind, but trying to explain it ends in a loss for word. That’s why sometimes the best way to explain something is though what it explores as a genre, otherwise known as tropes. In this paper I will be defining certain tropes of the genre through the classic gothic text Frankenstein, and comparing that with the modern gothic of true blood

Set in the American frontier in the latter half of the eighteenth century, the tale of True Grit reads like the diary of a precocious, headstrong, and mature fourteen year old girl. Mattie Ross, the main character, recruits the callous, no nonsense U.S. Marshal Rooster, Cogburn to aid her in tracking down Tom Chaney, her father’s killer.

"I'll also give you something else to contend with, a plague of prehistoric animals to ravage through your nations to kill and devour you. Perhaps that will tame your mouth from speaking out against Utopia and your Creator and impress on you the true rage your God has for the shame of man. "I've told you time and time again to accept the restored gospel, but all you do is continue in obstinacy. I will tell you what will come to pass. The Christian church will wait until the last moment when it

feminist. Some things that I was not expecting to learn about coming into this course were other mass movements and minority groups. Reading Hoffer’s “The True Believer” really expanded my knowledge on the complexities of mass movements. At first I did not see how topics like LGBT rights and religion related to feminism, but after reading “The True Believer” I realized that that many mass movements are related to each other and have a great number of similarities. A quote by Eric Hoffer that I do

go-to creatures, the phenomenon people love featuring in tv shows and movies such as The Vampire Diaries and True Blood. They both show modern depictions of what vampires would be like in this day-in-age.

for filmmakers to take a beloved character from literature and bring him or her to life.

Through costume and set design, as well as the narrative choices the directors chose to take

Ones with a code of conduct, and ones that just do as they please. It is thought that all thieves and bandits are considered purely evil, some villains like Lucky Ned Pepper; a character in the book “True Grit,” and Leonard Snart from the TV show, The Flash, have specific rules they go by that could suggest otherwise. To begin, Leonard Snart, being the most aggressive

into The True Word that housed his critiques on Christianity. From these critiques, it is possible to identify the characteristics Celsus might identity with a true religion. Moreover, the second focus of paper is Mark’s gospel, more specifically, Jesus. Having read Mark’s gospel, would his depiction of Jesus and his movement be considered valid in the eyes of Celsus? In this paper, I will argue that the depiction of Jesus and the Jesus movement in Mark’s Gospel would not be considered a true religion
