Made Me Realize First Experience
753 wordsChristy Paper September 4, 2000 Christy came upon strange and unusual conflicts in her situations that were fresh and new to her. These conflicts were so traumatic that she felt if better to leave than to stay in the unfamiliarity of the Appalachian culture. I've also experienced feelings of quitting a situation. Like Christy, I was called to sing a solo in my church choir. If I had run from my situation, I wouldn't have had the experience of singing in front of a group. I also had to ask myself...

Bram Stoker Jonathan Harker
886 wordsThe aspect of Dracula that makes it so frightening, as opposed to contemporary horror, is that of the strong persona of Count Dracula himself. For all of the terror he inspires, The Count has few appearances in the novel, instead using his mystique to frighten the reader. While nearly all current books and films in the horror genre focus on the aspects of violence and shock appeal, Dracula uses the element of suspense to captivate the reader. By using the element of fear, Bram Stoker keeps the r...

Dante Inferno Vs Bosch Garden Of Earthly Delights
1,357 wordsThe concept of Hell is a powerful one to all who give pause to question an act of morality or sin. We are warned that choosing a path of debauchery may cause us to fall out of the holy grace of our omniscient God, leaving our afterlife to be one of pain, misery and suffering. These teachings are, though terrifying to some, generally vague- the specifics incomprehensible and distant. Hell is well known as simply unpleasant and hot, but could there be more to the legend than that? Both Dante Aligh...

One shudders as he describes the horrific thoughts running through his mind. Even more terrible and shocking are the senseless acts of cruelty, and later murder, that he carries out upon his cat and wife. Edgar Allan Poe evokes a sense of terr...

In place of Poe's androgynous male lovers we have the immature Heathcliff (only twenty years old when Catherine dies); in place of the vampire Ligeia, or the amenorrheic Lady Madeleine, is the tomboyish Catherine, whose life has become a terrifying "blank" since the onset of puberty. No more poignant words have been written on the baffled anguish of the child-self, propelled into an unwanted maturity, a...
