These three texts are alike not just because they have the theme of sexuality but they all deal with the death of a lady and how the main characters of these texts are attracted to their death which is preceived as uncanny. In the book Dracula by Bram Stoker Dracula is a vampire who finds a victim named Lucy who he sucks her blood until she dies when Lucy is dead she is still seen as beautiful by the characters and are all still in love with her although she is dead. In the poem "Annabel Lee" the character's love Annabel has died but he is still attracted to her and talks about her as if she is still alive and lays with her every night. The next poem "The Sleeper" is similiar to "Annabel Lee" because the main character has lost the love of his life a beautiful woman. The character like in "Annabel Lee" struggles to deal with the nature of life and death. The writer Poe describes that his love is just sleeping and how beautiful she is when she sleeps. All of these texts talk about the death of a beautiful woman that the characters have all loved and are still attracted to and desire their loves even after their death. Although these texts are all similiar they all have differences. The differences between the texts is the way they all describe...

The stories take place in different times and have totally different characters, but they have many plot points which make them very similar. How would 2 forbidden lovers from the Renaissance compare to adolescent boys attending a prep school? Although Romeo and Juliet and Dead Poets Society have a seemingly unrelated plot, there are actually many similarities to them in the form of love, relationships, and tragedy. The first comparison between the movie and the play would be through love. Romeo and Juliet’s...

...What would you do for love? Would you sacrifice your life for the people you love? “Romeo and Juliet” is a thrilling play that demonstrates both love and hate. Love and hate both come at a cost, whether you lose something you love or something happens that you hate. As Mohandas Gandhi said “Hatred always kills, love never dies.” The play Romeo and Juliet demonstrates and expresses 3 main points relating to this quote. Those main points are love, hate, and marriage. Romeo and Juliet is portrayed as a “love” story but Shakespeare sets it up as a pain and death story. Romeo is in love with a woman named Rosaline at the beginning of the play. Juliet has never thought about getting married before her mother brings up the idea of marrying Paris. Shakespeare has to set their tale as ill-fated at the beginning (as “two star-crossed lovers” ) not only because their families hate each other, but because they do not know anything about what true love really is or even what life is like in the real adult world. When Romeo first lays his eyes upon Juliet, he is overwhelmed by how beautiful she is. He immediately forgets about Rosaline and wants to meet Juliet. Romeo saw Juliet at a ball he never intended on going to. For a few days he kept to himself and was thinking about how much he loves Rosaline. Eventually, Romeos cousin Benvolio convinces him to go. Romeo thinks that there is no point to go but Benvolio tells him “At this same ancient feast of the Capulet's sups the fair Rosaline...

...Shakespeare wrote three types of stories comedy, history, and tragedy. Romeo and Juliet is a tragedy because of their love. The reason why Romeo and Juliet is a tragedy is because Romeo and Juliet fell in love so quickly, and then their love ended so quickly.“These violent delights have violent ends, and in their triump died, like fire and powder; Which, as they kiss, consume” William shakespeare.In Romeo and Juliet, fate takes the significant role in uniting the two lovers, affecting their true love, additionally causing their demise in both the movie and the play. One of the best fight scenes is Tybalt’s and Mercutio’s fight. The reason why people think that this fight is the best because Romeo won't fight because he just married Juliet,...

...1. The idea illustrated by the breakup of the Pervin household was an atmosphere filled with death and hopelessness. The Pervins are a family of horse dealers, who have recently lost their father. This circumstance has left them grieving and in debt. While this situation alone is depressing, Lawrence uses words such as “desolate” to describe the breakfast table, and “dreary” to describe the furniture to reinforce the hopelessness of the atmosphere. 2. Joe was having the hardest time dealing with the fact that they would have to leave their house and their lives behind. He was said to have thought of himself as one of the horses. Joe’s fate was to marry and survive from the employment provided by his father in law, who was a steward of a nearby estate. I believe that Joe was thankful that he had somewhere to go, but was regretful that he would have to sacrifice his independence and freedom, and have to become a “subject animal now.” He would be assuming the role of one of his work horses. 3.

...with a focal point focused on love and innocence in the context of death. At the establishing point of the story, the first story lines already shows a tint of innocence and simplicity but the gloomy tone of the story is already felt. The situation is just a very typical scenario in the Philippines but through the writer's prolific used of diction and imagery a common situation is turned into something new - a work of art. As you look at it, the plot is so simple. But what will move most of the readers is the author's command of language and smooth flow of situations. In economic terms, the reader can easily predict that the characters are somehow wealthy considering that the narrator, who happens to be the niece of the dead poet is boarding at the big girls' college in Manila, the presence of a conference room and the regular use of Spanish language. These are matters that only well-off families can afford and practiced. The story is so culture bounded and is so reflective of our society. Some reflective traits are the delicadeza system being practiced, the unfaithfulness of husbands, presence of gossipers, scandals in public and ridiculous funeral set-up with two different camps in opposite sides. A minimal Spanish colonialism practices is also being reflective in the story through the practiced of delicadeza system and the regular used of Spanish language. Along the way, the reader can feel that the narrator itself is being caught between love and disloyalty. [ chieftest mourner ...

...1/22/2015 Is God Dead? In religious experience, people usually think that life is surrounded by ordinary and extraordinary things, especially in the stories of Moses and Elijah. As these stories in the bible go along, many times, some people are questioning the existence of God. To prove God’s existence, one should have a strong belief in their religion. As religion teaches, one believes that God dies physically for us on the cross because He sacrifices himself by giving His full love to us. After God arises from the dead three days later, His soul remains alive. That soul exists in order for us to have a better and deeper relationship with God. One believes that God does exist in nature, in the human person, in the church, and everywhere else. What about a person who does not believe in those things? What about a person who has no religious background and believes that God is dead? Each person has a different perspective, understanding, and belief about the existence of God. Whether one realizes or not, this is his or her choice to believe God’s existence. One will use their experiences to believe in God’s presence in their own lives. They can interpret their experiences as happy or sad, depending on who they trust. If this is in a happy way, one will believe God’s existence by saying God is dead physically, but His soul is not dead. He remains within us everywhere and all the time in this world. He helps us when we need it during the hard times, and we love Him in return. If...

...rock group or singer's music reflected and/or influenced the 1960s.” Living Dead: The Cultural Impact of the Grateful Dead The decade of the 1960’s saw plenty of musicians become involved in the protest movement. Bob Dylan, Joan Baez and Joni Mitchell, among others, wrote of the injustices of American society. While the Beatles were singing “All You Need Is Love”, the Rolling Stones wrote about the “Street Fighting Man”. Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young sang about the Kent State shootings in “Ohio”. Country Joe McDonald encouraged the burning of draft cards while leading the “Fish Cheer”. However, the degree of influence each had on not just the 1960’s, but ensuing decades waned as burnout, family life, and lifestyle choices took their toll. The act whose music reflected and influenced not just the 60’s, but decades to come, was the Grateful Dead. The music of the Dead reflected the counterculture of the 1960’s, fostered a self-sustaining, traveling multicultural community, and delivered a message of peace and love for thirty years. San Francisco was the center of the counterculture movement of the 1960’s. The Haight-Ashbury neighborhood attracted thousands of youths from across the country, looking to drop out of traditional society and build a new society. In the middle of this scene, living at 710 Ashbury, were the members of the Grateful Dead. The house band for Ken Kesey’s Acid Tests, the Dead provided the psychedelic soundtrack to the LSD fueled explorations of the Merry...
