However, the noble origins of the quest mean very little in the end as “the road to Hell is paved with good intentions” (St. Bernard Clairvaux). Just as his creation does, Frankenstein falls from grace and takes up the quest of Satan. After the murder of his bride and subsequent death of his father, Victor gives in to the darkness, until “revenge alone endow[s] [him] with strength and composure” (Shelley 140). He vows vengeance, promising the object of his rage torture and death (Shelley 142), just

Larry spotted him sitting alone on a bench across the street from the high school on Vincennes Street. He had not seen Ritchie Braddock for quite a while, at least a few months by now. Everybody recognizes Ritchie Braddock; he’s a legend, kind of a miracle boy. Besides that, he’s an old buddy and Larry wanted to catch up. Ritchie, a sort of shy and bashful kid, was suddenly launched into stardom a couple years ago by sinking a last-minute jump shot in the state basketball finals to put his team in

Is A Good Man That Hard To Find? I feel that O'Connor's story fits well with her statement about the South being "Christ-haunted." In fact, I feel that the Misfit, whom at first appeared to me to be a ruthless, sadistic murderer, actually ended up being even more of a 'good person' than any of the members of Bailey's family. I will analyze certain statements made in the story to make my point feasible. “The trees were full of silver-white sunlight and the meanest of them sparkled.” First off

pretty good as a struggling college student. I asked him if he had been attending church since returning home from school to which he responded, “not really”. I then asked Mister Man, “If you died today, would you go to heaven or hell?” My intent was to use the Romans’s Road method of evangelism; however, after starting the conversation, I realized that this method probably would not be very beneficial for Mister Man. He was already familiar with the scripture and using this structured method for

Professor Stephen Clifford English 233 18 February 2014 Challenging the American Dream Does the American Dream still exist? Did it ever? There is evidence of doubt in this concept that dates even as far back as when James T. Adams coined the idea in 1931. The 1930’s faced a new wave of violence and sexuality in America, and the American ideals that founded this country were being questioned in the eyes of its residents. James M. Cain’s novel, The Postman Always Rings Twice, shows the lack of

The Curiosity Every morning during the spring and fall semesters I would take I-27 south bound. Making my daily commute to WT, I would always pass by this random building that caught my eye. So much so that I was intrigued to find out what was inside. The outside of said building had two large jalapenos with the name "Willy's" on it. I thought to myself, maybe this is a chiles market or something...either way I wanted to go in! My palate for spice is exceptionally high from the average person

The loud sound of her motorcycle gave away Bria's approach long before she rounded the corner of the long lonely road. The streets lights, what few there were, did little to light the narrowing two lane road as she barreled her way down in whatever direction the wind seemed to guide her. It seemed almost spiritual, if it weren't simply because she had lost her map and had no idea where she was. Still Bria was never one to waist a good ride, in any sense of the word, especially when it felt so good

by myself. As long as I could remember I have constantly chosen to not be alone because that in itself is the most frightening thing to me. That is so only because I learned early on that I am my own worse nightmare. I create hells within my head constantly and these hells usually corrupt and disrupt anytime I have within solitude. The older I get the more apparent it becomes that I must fight my fears and conquer myself because I know I will eventually be alone. And I swear I’ve been working
