The many grave robbers that dug up bodies in Humberstone were never revealed. My theory is that the grave robbers are putting up projectors to scare people away from their business. Why I think this is because the grave robbers wouldn’t want to be caught while digging up a body. Also, the grave robbers had another reason they were digging up bodies for they would be skeletons. One of my thoughts was why they were digging up the bodies.…
Listening to the Song of Solomon Link to padlet: https://padlet.com/jgillen3/ono11lae22n0 “Flight, myth, freedom, slavery, love, and hate; all these things are found in the novel Song of Solomon by Toni Morrison.

The way a child views the world originates from his or her childhood. Actions or events that happened in their childhood could end up hurting them in the long fun of life. In many works of literature characters view the world because of their childhood. Some people have different case and background but if you were to put it in a branch most people do future actions because of actions that happened in the beginning of their life time.…
The Murders in the Rue Morgue, written by Edgar Allan Poe is a first of its kind detective story that uses a detailed narrative with imagery, simile, and attention to even the most insignificant detail to suggest the themes of the story and draw readers into the investigation of the L’espanaye family murders. These literary devices and techniques are best seen in the description of Monsieur C. Auguste Dupin and the detailing of the crime scene on the Rue Morgue. In describing Monsieur C. Auguste Dupin, Edgar Allan Poe uses extreme detail and many literary devices. About Dupin, Poe writes, “As the strong man exults in his physical ability, delighting in such exercises as call his muscles into action, so glories the analyst in that moral…
“The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.” This quote was written on Lily and James Potter’s grave in Godrics Hollow. This quote means that even after death you’ll still be living. That we never truly die, or we never really leave. I think this quote is beautiful in ways more than one.…
Joseph Campbell’s monomyth theory is evident within J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone and Neil Gaiman’s The Graveyard Book as the notion of the “special world” (Vogler 10) is glorified through contrast in relation to the core themes of the texts. Within both novels, the protagonists are only able to truly experience the themes of family, belonging and the supernatural whilst in the special world, placing an emphasis on this realm. Furthermore, contrast is consistently utilised to demonstrate that the ordinary world cannot offer the experiences that the special world can, thus glorifying the supernatural realm through these themes. Also referred to as the hero’s journey, Campbell’s monomyth theory is specified as the comparative…
Egyptian funerals were extremely elaborate. the body would be placed in a coffin and move to the tomb in a cart pulled by oxen. The funerals would often be accompanied by a large procession that included relatives, priests and priestesses, along with dancers and musicians. Sometimes the dead person’s organs would be carried in jars by some members of the procession. The march would follow through to the bank of Nile, where everyone would get aboard boats and cross to the western side, which was the favoured side for burials.…
True earnestness in life is a rare thing. Kierkegaard writes in “At a Gravesite” that one must be earnest about death, because “death in earnest gives life force as nothing else does”. (Kierkegaard 83) Watanabe-San, the lead character in the film Ikiru, found himself with a short time to live after years of not doing anything significant. The situation of this “insignificant man” is also described in “At a Gravesite” as a regular man dies without being anyone important. (Kierkegaard 71) Watanabe sets out to find meaning in his life before it is too late.…
“Shh... ,” was the noise I heard when me and my friends were walking past the graveyard because my best friend was trying to tell a spooky story to us. For some reason she told us the story when she was looking at the jittery moon. The thing about the graveyard thoe was that it was really foggy and if you looked anywhere else there would be know fog. She told us the story and this is how it went. It was about a tree with lots of black crows that had red eyes and a house on top of a hill.…
It seems as if he likes his name more than he realized, not of where the name originated and how it sounds, but because of who calls him…
In the novel The Graveyard Book, I would add another living boy that had resided in the graveyard 50 years prior to Bod’s arrival. Nothing would change at first with the narrative, except there would be skepticism and fear among some of the inhabitants that do not want Bod to be a repeat of “last time”. What this means can be open to interpretation at first. As time progresses, however, Bod eventually overhears a couple ghost talking about preventing another “Bod”. He wants to figure out exactly what happened.…
To Kill A Mockingbird The story, “To Kill A Mockingbird”, by Harper Lee is one of the most influential novels of all time, it is even relevant in today’s society.

There are so many life lessons from this story that are still relevant in today’s time.…
With Halloween approaching, there has been an overwhelming presence of Halloween skeletons. Unlike many other fantasy Halloween creatures, the skeleton is real and often poorly depicted as a Halloween decoration. The bones in a real skeleton function as support, protection, movement, storage, and blood cell formation. This skeleton in particular is anatomically incorrect and would therefore function poorly.…
