Shunterrance Walton Mrs. Harper Comp. 1 23 Sept. 2016 A Double Life The double sports life is probably one of the best things to happen in high school. What is better than playing two of the most exciting sports in the school? Well, having those two sports at two different off seasons would be the best. More than likely, with me having an offseason is unimaginable. Playing two sports is not as miserable unless they carry on over to the next one. Do not get me wrong, I love basketball and football, but having one end and the other start immediately is real torture. With them coming in so swiftly, I am always tired and busy, but I always stay in shape. Honestly, these are the biggest obstacles I face after leaving one season and entering the next. Playing double sports is neither complicated nor undemanding, so knowing some of the effects on my life can show some great examples. Being tired all the time creates great irritation. In football, I am running routes, plays, and after people for about two and a half hours. When I leave practice and get home, I would eat, take a shower, and lay down. Not knowing that I would be repeating everything again the next day. So, after practice when I say, “I am really beat up and exhausted”, I…

determine which identity is their true self. In literature, the use of a doppelganger or a double allows the reader to see the internal struggle of the character expressed externally – essentially uncovering a hidden nature. In the deathbed confession style tale of “William Wilson” by Edgar Allen Poe, a young man by the name of William Wilson travels the world attempting to escape his double. While sharing the same name, the two men are opposite in morality. William’s double acts as the…
Novels, plays, and movies often depict characters caught in a conflict with their doubles. Such collisions call a character’s sense of identity into question. The film The Double by Richard Ayoade takes Fyodor Dostoyevsky’s original book The Double and plays it with a modern twist. Upon closer inspection of Fyodor Dostoyevsky’s The Double and its movie adaptation by Richard Ayoade, we see that though both share many elements and plot progressions, the movie, as a more modern medium, utilizes its…
Shelley’s Frankenstein, can also be applied to James Hogg’s The Private Memoirs and Confessions of a Justified Sinner. Both works of later-Romantic Gothic, these novels deal with the social impact of their protagonists’ ‘selfhood’, or ‘inner life’, rather than how the outward sublime influences the ‘inner self’. Instead of seeking ‘transcendence’ in sublime nature, Victor Frankenstein and Robert Wringhim aim to transcend their social and spiritual positions through, respectively, scientific…
